squarely and
Its Merits Discussed
What was said only those present
knew, but the decision of the committee,
it is understood, was to advise against a

She end of the session the anti-snappefS
had nothing to say. but the following
statement was made at headquarters:
''At the conference of the committee
appointed at a meeting of the New.

y The Questions
contained and involved in the resolu-
tions adopted by the district organiza-
tons as to how the election Of Cleve-
land and Stevenson might best be pro-
noted, and as to how the largest vote
could be polled in the city of New York
for the Democratic candidates, were
discussed, and large number OF Sug-
gestions were made looking 10 a thor
Ough organization or the voters of the
city Of New York, together with such
incidental demonstrations as might be
necessary to arouse enthusiasm and
stimulate them to greater activity.
lit was stated by the chairman of the
visiting committee that the committee
was not empowered to submit or dis
cuss, but on the contrary has been eX-
pressly prohibited from formally sub
mitting or discussing with the national
committee the question of independent
local nominations, but that question
was informally talked Of"
1t was learned, however. the question
of nominating third ticket occupied
nearly the entire time of the committee.
The national committeeman could not
be induced to give their consent to it,
and the anti-snap committee finally
agreed to adjourn further consultation
on the matter until they conferred with
the district leaders of the organization
OH Friday evening. The members of
the anti-stap committee looked worried
after the adjournment. The question
of nominating ticket against Tammany
hall would seem to be relegated for the
Il
heroic measures at its meeting on Fri
daY,
