GILROY's COMMITTEE IN SESSION

Two things were made quite apparent

Two things were made quite apparent
to-day as a result of the meeting OF
Mayor Gilroy's Advisory Committee on
Tammany Hall politics.
One OF these things is that Tammany
leaders conceive that William X. Grace
and his State Democracy hold the key
to the local political situation and must
be ''placated" without regard to the
claims Of Tammany office-seekers. The
other is that the Tammany leaders have
come out strong on Senator Hills har-
mony platform to conceal their chagrin
at being compelled to divide Congress
men, Assemblymen and local offices
with the weaker faction of the party.
All this came out in an apparently
general remark made by Mayor Gilroy
after the meeting.
The Advisory Committee met this
morning at 10 o'clock in Tammany Hall.
The Committee consists of Mayor Thos.
F. Gilroy. Henry d. Purroy. James ].
Martin, Corporation Counsel w, II. Clark,
]. F. Carroll, James w. Boyle, Daniel
Mcmahon and Patrick Keenan,.
County Clerk Purroy was the first to
put In an appearance. and while waiting
for the others to arrive he said it would
be almost impossible to outline for some
days what Tammany's course would be.
'The next few days" he said, will
be taken up with conferences OF all kinds
to suit the changes in the situation. /

Mayor Gilroy arrived at Tammany
Hall promptly at 10 o'clock. Then along
came all the others of the Advisory Com
mittee, save Commissioner Martin, who.
however. appeared later; Police Com
missioner John C. Sheehan, with q
dozen or so other shining lights OF the
Wigwam, who were anxious to hear
what the plan OF campaign was like.
As to the naming OF a candidate for
Mayor-in case the Grace-Fairchild COM
bination is not going to be indorsed-it
was pointed out that two years ago
Thomas f. Gilroy was not selected until
an hour or so before the holding of the
Convention. 1t Is expected that the
same state of affairs will be witnessed
again. One thing seems certain, how
ever, that some kind Of union will be
effected on Congressional. Senate and
Assembly nominations.
While the Advisory Committee was In
session a delegation from the United
German Democracy arrived and asked
a hearing. They were Mr.. Jacob Condo.
DIR. A. Fresh. ]. w. Fleck. Ex-Coroner
NJ. Ellinger and Martin Dahlbender.
Their object was to present the name of
Commissioner OF Accounts Charles g.
F. Wahle for Sheriff.
The conference lasted until Ills
o'clock. On its conclusion Mayor Giiroy.
who had been selected as spokesman Tor
the party. said:
I'VE did nothing but discuss the situa-
ton In a general way. Views of all sorts
were exchanged. and then We adjourned
TO meet again at the call of the chair.
II may add that the general opinion
expressed was to the effect that the
