of political duties laid upon him that Mr. wagner gave
I'D his home on Staten Island and removed TO Brook
lyn. He had determined TO keep alOof from politics.
until General Stewart L. WoodfOrd who was then MS
neighbor induced him TO join the Twentieth ward AS
ISOLATION When he removed to the Twenty third
Ward he gradually became and moro active in
politics. and in the Union League Club he has been
prominent. Mr.. Wagner has some definite and care

discussion of the names of possible candidates for the
Important Offices to be filed between now and Satur-
day, october 10, when the city and county conven-
tons will be held. The general consensus )f opinion
gathered from Republicans in all parts OF the city and
from independent Democrats favors the nomination OF
William HegleT for Mayor. The feeling is that he
possesses the elements of strength needed to the
votes outside OF regular Republican lines which are
essential to the success of the candidate Of the party

has so strongly expressed his political affiliations a
Democrat that he would doubtless decline nomination

been clearly expressed that the candidate should be
