| Gov. Sheohan OF New York was asked IL there
was any improvement In tho situation so far
| as Mr. Hill was concerned. He said:

Mr.. Hills chances have materially strength
ened each hour. and continue to get stronger"

RooAs OF THE NEW YORK STATE Obligation.
CHICAGO June 20. !
In reply to inquiries addressed to by delegates
from States instructed to vote for Mr. Grover Cleveland
OF New York tho delegates Of New York, with deep
sense of responsibility to the Democracy of the United
States, are constrained to make answer that in
best Judgment Mr.. Cevelands nomination would i'm.
peril the success Of the party and would expose
EDWARD MURPHY. Jr. Chairman.
CnARIRs Il. Dr. FREEsT, Secretary.
Mr. De Freest said: This WAS adopted by
tho delegation without a dissenting vote. 1t
was in fact endorsed by every delegate"
Mr.. Croker had something to say this after
noon. He and Mr.. Murphy at 3 O'Clock started
out to get their dinner. and Is United Press ro-
porter caught them in the hotel corridor.
rs 1t true that New York. while still rem ain
Ing true to Mr.. Hill. is in the position OF con-
cedipg Mr.. Clevelands nomination was
asked.
Not at ALL" said the Tammany leader. Mr..
Cleveland cannot secure enough votes to nom
mate him on the first ballot. and after the first
ballot he will lose. Mr. Hill is in tho race to
stay. and steady gain Is noted. We have a
great many solid delegations that will come
over in the second ballot"
