Senator HIN was not within 200 miles
of Albany while we were there. What
we went for Is of no concern to the
public"
what do you think OF Senator Hilrs
stand in favor of allowing the names of
the Inns candidates to be printed on
his State ticket" the Mayor was asked.
Wont it hurt the chances of Tam
many's candidates."
II decline to discuss that matter" said
the Mayor. Il have decided to stop
talking politics for a time"
There was just as much doubt this
, morning at Mr.. Strauss headquarters
III the Union Square Hotel as to his
intentions as there was yesterday. His
letter of acceptance was not made pub
lie, but the anxious watchers were in
formed that that document. when 1t
was given out, would set at rest all
reports that Mr.. Straus intends to with
draw.
AT the State Democratic Headquarters.
in the Park Avenue Hotel John Boyd
Thacher said he knew nothing as to Mr.
Strauss intentions, but he hoped
anu DtlltNtu lUdl MT. SIRIUS WOulu Stay
in the fight to the end. The Straus in
cident. however, is causing some bitter
talk at these headquarters, and 1t is in
timated that Tammany seems more anx-
ious to get its county ticket In than 1t
does to elect Hill. upon whom the Tam
many leaders practically forced the nom
ination for Governor.
EX-Mayor Hugh j. Grant called at
Mr.. Strauss headquarters at Ills to-day
to see the Tammany candidate. He was
surprised to find that Mr.. Straus had
not yet got down. and then he tele-
phoned TO Mr.. Strauss residence and his
store, but received no Information as to
his whereabouts.
When Mr.. Grant was asked II Mr.
Straus really Intended to withdraw, he
said;
IL do not know. have not heard from
him. l believe he will stay In the race"
That some OF the Tammany leaders
fear that Mr.. Straus really does intend
to withdraw Is shown by the fact that
they are already specializing as to who
his successor will be.
That some of them would not be dis
pleased with Mr. Straus for getting
out Is shown by a statement made to-
day by County Clerk Henry ID. Purroy.
This statement incidentally bears out
the truth of the report published in
THE Evening World" some weeks ago
to the effect that the Gilroy clique and
the Purroy and Croker factions in
Tammany Hall are at war. Efforts
have been made, some of them by Mr.
Purroy himself, to keep the trouble in
the Wigwam from the public ken until
after election, but that is now no longer
possible.
Mr. purroy said to an Evening World"
reporter to-day:
Il heard yesterday that a Tammany
committee had called at the State head
quarters and attempted to instruct can
didates as to what names should be
placed on the State ticket
Il At once called on Mayor Gilroy, who
is considered the leader. and told him
that, in my opinion, the action of the
committee was foolish; that the law dis
t!nctly said that State candidates have
/ the right to decide what names shall be
placed on the different tickets, and that
for amy man or set of men to attempt
. TO dictate 10 Senator Hin what his de-
cisson should be was In my opinion, very
impolitic and well calculated to injure
both the state and county Democratic
tickets"
Resarding the local situation, Mr..
Pur.oy said
For three weeks in the face OF all
kinds OF Misrepresentation, ! have said
