LILLIAN MORTGAGES HER home
The Fair Singer Borrows $500 from the
Title Guarantee and Trust Co.

The news that Lillian Russell had
borrowed Sc, 500 from the Title Guarantee
and Trust Company by mortgaging her
house. No. 3ls West Seventy-seventh
street, was a morsel for theatrical gos-
sips yesterday. The mortgage Is made
TO Martin Welles. a lawyer. OF No. 81
Liberty street, who represents the com
pany in the transaction. In the official
record the number Of the house Is given
as No. POS. but this Is evidently an error.
No. 20s West Seventy-seyenth street is
a stable. and the house which is mort
gagged is probably No 3ls, in which Miss
Russell lives. and which was the scene
of her short matrimonial experience

At a little informal conference OF lead
ers, held yesterday afternoon. two prop
ositions were considered: The first was
the delaying Of the call for a meeting of
the State Committee for a week, which
would make II July 26, instead Of July
10. as at first decided upon. The second
was to bring about an arrangement be-
tween the Milholland and Committee Of
Thirty people whereby both should re-
ceive a portion Of the election patron
age. and thus keep the question Of regu-
larity out Of the State Committee
Neither question was settled. but the
State Committee has not been called

weeks notice. SO 1t H. more than posi-

idea OF his having any salable secrets.

where Morris Is employed yesterday, and
claims to have been driven out by stones
thrown by the Kelly faction. Morris is
a Kelly man. During last nights meet
ing President Morris left the chair to get

amendment to the Ballot law was put
through making II mandatory on the part OF
the Board of Police Commissioners here to

the Executive Committee Of the regular par

his friends felt absolutely sure that the State
Committee, which is controlled by exSena-
tor Platt would recognize them as the regu-
lar organization. Just now they are not SO
sure MIR Plat has much larger irons in
the fire than the Milholland organization
and whether he wishes to antagonize the
Union League crowd and the Committee Of
Thirty organization any further is question
that no one can answer as yet but Mr. Plat
himself.
