The Brooklyn politicians will have plenty Of
business on hand to-day. Each Of the rival
organizations will hold its city and county
conventions. tho Democrats in the Thomas
Jefferson building. and the Republicans in the
Criterion Theatre. The county conventions
will DO held in the afternoon. md tho
city In tho evening. The former will
name candidates for Register. County
Clerk County Treasurer. and Supervisor at
Large. and the latter for Mayor. seven AID
ermen at Large. and three Justices OF the
Peace. Much Of the uncertainty In reference
to the Mayoralty nomination was removed
yesterday. with the elimination OF Mr.. Chaplin
and Mr.. Ziegler from the canvass. Although
the Republican managers still declared that
their Convention would place Mr.. Zegler in
nomination. they admitted that there was no
chance whatever that no would accept. Mr..
Ziegler himself made this declaration to the
reporters:
You must know that Mayor Chaplin is not
TO be renomlnated. It follows that I will not
run. I hope to SEQ campaign conducted on
the highest ground and an glad to take my
place in the ranks"
Mr.. Ziegler subsequently sent letter to
Hugo Hirsh, who is to call tho Republican Con-
vention to order and act as temporary Chair
man. declaring that he did not want his name
to no presented to the Convention. and
that II he was nominated he would decline to
become q candidate He also sent n note to
Mr.. William Berri. the proprietor OF tho Stand
ard Union. enclosing n contribution OF S1.5OO
for use in the campaign in the interest OF
good government" In Spite however. OF Mr..
Ziegler's declination. the Republicans may go
through the motion Of placing him in nomina-
ton and of giving him another opportunity to
make Il statement.
1t has been decided that tho man who is to
carry the Republican banner in the Mayoralty
fight will be President Francis II. Wilson Of
the Union League Club. Mr. Wilson is law

ism is unIuestioned and who is without any

afternoon.
The practical Republican politicians last
night admitted that Mr.. Zegler and Lawyer
William j. Gaynor had succeeded I'm placing
the organization in IA hopelessly muddled con-
ditiOn, and that it was utterly absurd to dream
Of electing a single candidate on the city or
county ticket. Said one Of the ward leaders to
reporter Of The Sun:
III Hugh Mclaughlin himself had shaped
our policy. he could not have brought matters
to more desperate pass. 1t is purely a waste
Of money for us to fight for any Of our local
candidates. and II my advice is taken we will
let the city and county canvasses go by de-
deed. will let you into 9, little secret. Our

and there arc strong Indications that this gal
