At Party Headquarters In New York.
/ Messrs. Carter and Clarkson spent Tuesday
at Long Branch and returned to New York city
yesterday morning. They found at the Fifth
Avenue hotel two of New York's .'big four
Senator Hiscock and Warner Miller. The latter
was warmly welcomed on account Of his speech
at White Plains Tuesday night. Senator His
cock was as reticent as usual, but it was said
that he came as messenger from the Presi-
dent to make final effort to arouse ex-senator
Platt and his state committee into ACTIVITY
Rumor had it that Mr.. Hiscock brought offers of
such terms that Mr.. Platt could no longer keep
in the background without mourning the
| charge OF boiling the republican ticket.
Ex-senator Fassett had a long conference with
Mr.. Hiscock. Then he paid his visit to the
state committee headquarters This seemed q
hopeful sign to the politicians in tie corridors
but they will not be that peace has come
| until Plat himself appears ut the headquarters
"Chris" Magee Of Pittsburg. who President
Harrison is said to have desired to accept the
secretaryship of the national committee, was
also at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Chairman Harrity of the democratic national
committee was at his headquarters early yester-
day. preparing for the meeting Of the campaign
committee today. He said he expected all the
members 70 be present. The committee will
| first organize by the election of q chairman and
then the selection of an dvisory committee will
be made. 1t is expected that the committee
will consist of five or six men. Two of them
will probably be VIM. c. Whitney and ex-Gov.
JAS. f. Campbell of OHIO. The committeeman
will be really advisors and not money collect
ora, and their names will be given out.
| Reports have been circulated that the demo-
cratic state committee would at its meeting on
FRIDAY night cause disturbance by demanding
the dissolution Of the 'an:i-snappers'' state
committee. This story denied by gentle
man who is in tine confidence of Mr.. Harrity
and who says that the state committee will do
nothing TO disturb the harmony which now
prevails throughout the party.
1t was learned that Lieut.. Gov Shcehan will
| spend most of the summer in New York city
attending to his work member of the national
campaign committee.
