the state Committee is in session. The growth ana
development of his boom" for nomination Tor Gov
rrnor have interested his fellow citizens greatly. The
rumors of a conference between Governor Ill., Boss"
Mclaughlin aud the Mayor last week were magnlhed
until all reports were rife. The facts were
these: Mclaughlin went TO Brooklyn from Greenport'

close TO the city, on the eve of the meeting OF the
Democratic Executive Committee for organization
holding his customary conference with ward lead

members of the Executive Committee in front of the
headquarters in the Thomas Jefferson in tile early
evening before the meeting. The following morn

unusual proceeding for him, for communications De-
tween him and the Mayor are usually made through
"Shev." But the latter was away, and knowing no
one else to confde in regarding matter Of so much
importance the choice Of candidate for Governor
Mclaughlin went to see Mayor Chaplin himself. They
were together for time and soon after the former
went away the latter hurried to NewYOrk 1t is be-
ieved that he met Governor Hill, either at the Law
yers' Club in the Equitable Pudding, in his own
Office in the COrbin Building, at Broadway and John

shown by the positive statement he made to several per-
sons late in the day that he had not the Governor

magistrate OF the State II the conclusion is reached
bv the Governor that the wisest step VIII be his re-

Brooklvn that Mayor Chaplin is likely to appear upon
the state ticket for Lieutenant Governor.
The Republican Executive Committee will hold its
August meeting on Tuesday evening at No 1873
