From all indications to-day II looks AZ
IL the independent and anti-machine
Democrats really intended to cut loose
and place complete Independent Demo-
cratic ticket in the field. This SUPPOSE
ton is based on a conversation which
Edward NJ Shepard had with an Even
ing World" reporter this morning.
Mr.. Shepard got down to his office,
Ill Broadway. half an hour earlier than
usual. He was evidently, from his
manner, anticipating a meeting of the
anti-machine leaders. Asked whether
the conferences already held had been
productive of definite results. he said:
THE matter of placing Independent
candidates in the field Is now under seri-
Gus consideration. l cannot say to-day
whether or not this will be done. 1t is a
little too soon to make any definite state
ments. However, 1 shall meet Mr.. Fair
child to-day, and there is little doubt
that a definite announcement of our in
tentions will be made on Monday"
In reply to the question whether their
time is not too limited to permit of the
preparation Of a State ticket. Mr.. Shep-
ard said:
mo, we have until Oct. IL to file our
| candidates Names"
Mr.. Shepards manner, as much as
| his words. conveyed the impression that
an independent ticket will without
doubt loom upon the political horizon
within the next few days.
Shortly after IL o'clock Mr.. Shepard
visited Mr.. Fairchild at the latter's
office. 46 Wall street. The conference
lasted for three-quarters OF an hour. Az
ter 1t was over Mr., Shepard said that he
could not dvulge the details of his talk
with the ex-Secretary 1t bore, however,
on the subject of the placing of an anti
machine ticket in the field.

said Mr.. Shepard. Il shall meet several
other persons to-day In this same con-

Mr.. Fairchild was also somewhat reti-
cent when asked to give hint as to the
probable outcome of the several con-
| ferences recently held by the Ants.
