SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept Gall the
talk is Of Whitney this morning. The
popular tide seems to have turned to-
wards him. He is as much the favorite
to-day as Judge Gaynor was Yesterday.
There Ii not SO much mention OF Gay
nor now, because by some his letter is
accepted as an absolute refusal 20 run.
His admirers. however, refuse to be-
leve that he is out Of the race. Sena-
tor McCarty. of Brooklyn. Hugh Nc
Laughlins representative, said at noon
to-day that M did not construe the JUS
tlces letter to be an absolute refusal
to be a candidate.
He said the Kings County delegation
had a conference this morning and
would meet again tonight and that
unless he heard otherwise from Justice
Gaynor his name would be presented to
, the Convention.
Many who favor Gayror say they
think II the nomination were rendered
to him unanimously he would accept 1t.
The same may be said of Mr.. Whit
heY. 1t Ia not known that he is a can
didate. but under the circumstances. II
the Convention insisted and made him
the unanimous choice, as a man wear
Ing the uniform of Democrat, he could
Again. the same thing is said of Hill.
II is not without the bounds of posi-
bllties that the Convention might force
the nomination on the Senator.
1t Ia n Guessing Match.
This is the situation this morning. No
man can tell with any degree of GER
tainty who the nominee will be. 1t is II
guessing match and not sure thing for
anybody. Mr.. Whitney will be on United
States soil before the Convention adj
journs. If no other candidate is agreed
on by tomorrow arrangements will I'M
doubtedly be made to communicate with
Mr.. Whitney at the first possible mo-
ment.
Mr.. Whitney was not candidate
when he left for Europe, and he has
since reiterated in interviews with him
cabled from London that he is not In
the race.
At the time of his departure from
New York Gov. Flower was believed
to be the candidate. and Mr.. Whitney
would under no circumstances oppose
him. Now that Gov. Flower is out Of it
and the field 10 free. Mr.. Whitney
might be prevailed upon to become the
standard-bearer of his party.
Dut ne Will not De seleCteu III SendtOT
Hill has his way, as pointed out in these
dispatches yesterday. Senator Hill is
fearful that Mr.. Whitney might over
shadow him as Presidential possibility.
Discussing the Situation.
The regular New York and Kings
County delegations were in session this
morning to consider the situation. There
is tendency In Tammany and in Kings
County towards Whitney. although
neither of them has committed itself to
his candidacy. They are awaiting deyel-
opments.
or greater Importance to them at the
present moment Is the contest for their
seats by the Grace Democracy from New
York City. and the shepardites from
Brooklyn. The State Democracy met at

There is a possibility that the Brooklyn
factions may come to an agreement and
