Assertions That Hill Is to
Be Voted For.

CHICAGO, June 21.-The anti-Cleve-
land men in New York have been prac-
tically in caucus all day long. although
the doors of the headquarters have only
been shut since S o'clock p. IN. A
strong effort was made to bring the
delegation iuto line by Mr.. Whitney
shortly after the adjournment of
the convention, and it is under
stood that Croker, Murphy and
Cochran are now ready and Awllllng
to cast their votes for the eX-president,
but an unexpected difficulty has been
found i'll the temper Of the New York
representatives. who say that they pro-
pose to vote against Cleveland as
long as his name is before the conven-
ton. In fact. the magnificent disci-
pline which seemed to rule Tammany
on its coming to Chicago has largely
disappeared, and the leaders frankly
admit that they can 10 longer control
their men.
The real work of the Tammany eau
Gus was brief. Mr.. Croker, for the first
time during the convention, made a
short speech, in which he stated that
the country was evidently for Cleve-
land. and that New York would prob
ably have to
Take What Ii Could Get,
rather than what it would like. 1t was
stated. not by Mr.. Croker, but by an
other Tammany leader. that the Cleve-
land men felt so completely confident
of victory that they had invited John X.
Fellows to make one of the speeches for
Cleveland in the convention.
MIR. Fellows, who was present, simply
smiled when this statement was made,
and refused to say whether /: was true
or not. Later he said that it would re-
quire the utmost judgment and work to
prevent Cleveland from getting his nee
essary two-thirdS on the first ballot.
\ committee from Iowa, who had in
charge the BoieS boom, was admitted
and put their case very plainly before
the New York delegation. Their speaker
was understood to say that little
over 500 votes would prevent Cleye-
lands nomination on the nrSt ballot.
and that Iowa had assurances from the
delegates from other states which
seemed to show that BoieS had in sight
l-U UdllUtS. HlIlOut IOuntil5 tllO -
of New York. If these - were cast
for Boies on the first ballot, it would
make very nearly two hundred votes
for
IOWa's FaTOrite Son,
and with the scattering vote when
might go to Patterson. German, MOrri-
son and Russell. there was, It was said,
a fighting chance that votes enough
I .o1- 70 tho
alton over to a second ballot. In that
event. it was predicted that there would
be serious breaks in Indiana and Mis-
souri, which would go solidly for Cleve-
land on the first vote.
He must lose after the first ballot"
the Iowa spokesman said, land to beat
Cleveland we only need to prevent
stampede on the first vote. 1t New
York will come to US we believe we
have nothing to fear"
After the Iowa men had withdrawn
there was very serious consultation
among the Tammany leaders, and it is
understood that the following pro-
gramme has been agreed upon: If BOies
shall show in the earlier states called
upon the roll symptoms of the strength
which the IowanS claim for him, then
New York, instead of presenting HIPS
name, Will cast ItS SeNSHty-lnO fOtcS
for BoieS for the effect that the change
will have on the states lower down in
the roll call. PIT if Alabama, Florida.
Kentucky, Co. ne .ticut, Maryland, New
Jersey, Missou.I. Nebraska, Kansas,
Louisiana and Georgia do not give
Boies serious and promising vote.
then New York will cast it strength to
Hill as against any candidate.
The matter has even gone so far that
it is said a steering committee has been
appointed to count and consider the
votes of these various states and to in
dictate to the New York delegation what
its duty is to be under the premises.
Tammany will meet i'll caucus at $3.50 a.
M, Wednesday, when all the plans in
dictated alb owe will be fully perfected.
