HILLS HOPES.
Hills friends say the Albany congress
sional district is the only one when can
not be controlled TO send national usle-
gates for Hill. IL Is known that oena.o,
Hill believes the convention Will ihstruce
the New York delegation to present ms
name at Chicago, and that the unit iuie
will be adopted by the convention III Is
known that the unit resolution Is Already
prepared. So far as is known there are
but three contests-one each IN the curtin
Albany District, the Secoud Chautauqua
District, and the First Oswego Distriot.
PROBLEMS.
The two most important elements Ia rne
situation tonight are problematical. W!ii

who feel that Mr.. Hill is independent or
New York and Kings counties, ana that the
effect of an ostensible difference between
Tammany and the country would be
wholesome and helpful to Mr.. Hill before
the national convention.
TA,iMAsY AND HILL.

ANDERSON ON HAND.
The other element of speculation to;
niOht-the probable action of the so-called
anii.Hill leaders on Monday-has been In.
tensified by the arrival hero tonight OF
MIR. f.. Ellery Anderson. lie. has made a
tour of the chief citles OF the State, ana
expects delegations from each TO arrive
here on Monday for cooperation against
MIR. Hill.
PROTEST
TO this so-called early convention will be
presented to the State committee previous
TO the meeting of the State convention at
noon Monday, accompanied by request
that the convention be dissolved ana
later date fixed This is expected to be
refused by the State committee, II being
doubtful If the protest ever reaches
the convention. The element OF IN
certainty arises exactly at TINS
point. What will the anti-Hi!! leaders
then do? 1t has been affirmed that a
meeting will be held In hali; when IS
said to have been engaged, and that action
looking to another convention Will then
be taken. Upon this point MIR. Anderson
declines to disclose the purposes OF him.
