STATEMENT OF MILLS MEN.
They Claim I26 Votes in the Caucus,
Enough to Win the Fight.

They Claim I26 Votes in the Caucus,
Enough to Win the Fight.
The Mills people do not concede this,
and Hatch, McMllin and Springer all say
they will be in at the finish. The Mills
workers gave out the following statement
last night: we have been giving out
our figures freely and in detail today.
They are open to the inspection of all
members. We counted on the varying and
eXtravagant statements of Mr.. Crisp re-
acting up on him. and preferred not TO give
our figures until the members had arrived
and committed themselves. The Crisp es-
Inmates have varied from 145 10 seventy
five or less, beginning at the former figure
and running down to the latter.
Forty-Two Members Uncomtnitted.
"A careful summary places forty-two
members yet uncommitted. OF those
committed thirteen are for Hatch, sixteen
for McMillin, thirty-six for Springer. fifty
four for Crisp and sixty-seven for Mills.
These with the five candidates not voting,
Watson (GeorGia) voting with the AL
lance and Ryan (MissourD detained at
home hy broken leg, make 235, the full
Democratic vote. or course both Crisp
and Mills will get a larger vote than is
now assured. luueeu all the candidates
may draw from the forty-two votes un-
declared. Our strong point is that we
can succeed without any of this vote OF
the vote for Springer, Hatch aud McMil-
lin we claim fifty nine second choice sure.
Expect to Gain from Springer.
This with the sixty-seven we now have
gives us 126 on final ballot, or ten votes
more than enough to nominate That
would be los for Crisp AND. .12j for Mills. or
a ma jority OF twenty-one. Crisp will get
nearly his entire strength on the first
ballot, while much of the Mills vote may
be locked up with Springer or other
friends. There is certain to be considera-
BILE concentration before the caucus
meets, and even if there is not, we have
but to resist the effects of schemes and
noise and the victory is certainly ours.
Our actual majority will be larger than
given here. as of course we win get q
large proportion Of those at present in the
woods

porters felt very certain Of success One
