Mr.. Cleveland took light lunch and

New York city and county Democrats.

After the adjournment of the state
committee Richard Croker hurried over
60 the Hotel Victoria and went to Mr..
eieveland's rooms. He remained there
Tor about half an hour and started down

down Mr.. Croker encountered Don M.
0s,a,Up tusnsd round sG,ns snd followed Mr. Dean
SON back again to Mr.. Cleveland's room.
On his second appearance Mr.. Croker was
questioned regarding the nature OF his
hurried VISIT.
He rspiied that 10 had IN important
matter 10 be given out but he wished
frst to get Mr.. Clevsland's permission
before announcing II. When asked IL he
had received the permission he replied
that he could say nothing about IL at
present. He was also asked II 10 had
reference to any action taken by the
state COMMITTEES. This Mr.. Croker re-
fused to affirm or deny.
After leaving the hotel Nr. Croker met
Messrs. Murphy and Shsehsn and IL 10
reported that Senator Hill was also at the
conference.
Late 1t night committee OF six, repre-.
senting the state league Of Democratic
clubs, saw Mr.. Cleveland. II was said by
the Democratic leaders that all the re-
ports Submitted to the az President were
Of the most encourag ging character.
Mr.. Cleveland, Il II expected, will re-
main IN the city until Wednesday or
Thursday. He will probably deliver an
address at the convention OF national
Dsmecsatic Clubs In the Academy Of
Music on Tuesday evening, although no
definite arrangement to that effect has
been made 90 far.
Il Il evidently the intention of Mr..
whitney and Mr.. Griffin to bring Messrs.
Hill and Cleveland together during their
present stay in the city.
The conduct OF the anti-snappers 10
proving . source OF annoyance both to
Mr.. Cleveland's friends and the Tam
many leaders. An effort will undou bted-
y be made, perhaps today, to have Mr..
Grace declare just what he means.
Mr.. Grace called on Mr.. Cleveland, but
he claims he did not talk about local
politics with the ex- President. Mr..
Cleveland htmseh refused afterwards to
say anything about local politics to the
reporters.
Mr., Grimm, who called four times on
Mr.. Cleveland, II 10 stated, Is in New
York TO complete the harmony between
the Hill Democrats and the anti-snap-
Mr.. Oleveland's house in this oity will
not b ready for occupancy much before
the drst OF November SO Il In probable
shat the ex- President will spend Q few
weeks more at BurEards Bay.
