Strength of Each from q Tammsny Stand
Point Grover Must Win IN Two Ballots
NEW York, June 13.-Up to date the
managers Of Senator Hills canvass for the
presidential nomination have not given
out any figures tending to verify their
claim that the Senator has more than an
even chance to WIN at Chicago. One day
last week a very prominent leader of Tam
many said that Hill would have ut least
eco votes oil the first ballot and Cleveland
probably 500. A national delegate from
the midwlnter State convention yesterday
canvassed the roll of States carefully, with
these resulting totals: Total delegates, sos;
necessary to a CHI dice tw th rds o99; Cleve-
land, 453; Hill. $50; Palmer, IS; Carlisle, b:
BOies. &c. These results are arrived at by
splitting delegations, but 1t Is believed
most of the States Will vote under the unit
rule. II they do Mr. ILLS vote would BIO
reduced to 2l5 and Cieveland's increased To
5T7, or within twenty-five OF the requisite
number. In this event, either the vote of
Kentucky. Iowa or illinois would nominate
the eX-Presldent, unless South Carolina
and Virginia whose delegations are claimed
To be equally divided, should cast their
forty-twO votes for Hill. The nine Cleve-
land men from Connecticut prefer Hill for
second choice, and that is about the way
the Hill managers figure most of the dele
land does not win in two ballots his chances
are destroyed.

Chicago Wednesday. On Thursday the
delegates leave, and on Friday at least

han and Edward Murphy.
The World this morning prints reports
received from nearly all the Democratic
State committeeman In answer to the ques-
ton whether they will give their support TO
the ticket. no matter who Is nominated
at Chicago. Tho substance of the answer
is that they will work for whoever is NOM
mated at Chicago. They are Democrats
first and Hill men afterwards Hill is their
favorite, but if Cleveland Is named they
will give HIM just as good and as enthusl-
a5tlc support.
