BASIS OF A RUMORkB0UT GAYNOR

That senator DaVlQ Is. Hill is not dlto-
rether satisfied with the work of his
Harmony cohort may be gathered from
the statement that he was not this
morning in so good humor as he APP
peared yesterday.
His attention had been called to a
two-column editorial In the Brooklyn
Eagle of the date of yesterday, practi-
cally demanding of him that he decline
the nomination. so that the State Com
mittee could offer the nomination to JUS
tice William ]. Gaynor. The editorial
was uncomplimentary in tone to the
Senator and laudatory of Justice Gay
nor.
The editor of tine paper is very close
to Justice Gaynor and to Edward Nj.
Shepard, and In view of the advances
and offers the Senator has made through
hts agents 10 Mr.. Shepard, he Is said to
feel that the latter might have at least
prevented SO deliberate an insult.
II IL stated on pretty good authority
that when Mr.. Hill came to town on
his mission OF harmony he sent to Mr..
Shepard to know what could be done
TO heal the differences between the
latter and the machine managers.
He offered to see to 1t that the Shep-
ardites should have representation on
the State Committee. That was refused.
He then offered to use his influence to
secure a division of the local offices In
which the Shepardites should share. This
offer was also refused.
The Senator then instructed his agents
to say to Mr.. Shepard that his stand in
favor of third ticket indicated that
nothing would suit him but the privilege
Of naming the Democratic candidate for
Governor, and that Mr.. Hill was willing
to decline the nomination and let the
Ants select the candidate If by so
doing harmony could be secured
Mr.. Shepard didn't accept this either.
He may have thought the Senator made
the offer as q fine piece Of sarcasm, but
Il is believed in other quarters that Mr.,
Hill made 1t In good faith.
Then what did Mr.. Shepard want7
Nottingham is. nothing but fight, as
the editorial in question seems to indi-
cate to Mr.. Hill.
1t may be set down as a fact that
this last offer of Mr.. Hill caused the
talk that he Intended to decline the
nomination in favor of Justice Gaynor,
The Senator was up bright and early
this morning and ready. for the political
business ahead of him. The only visi-
tors at his rooms in the Hotel Norman
die were Bourke Cochran and Col.
George B. Mcclellan.

tors apartments. He was followed by
Mcclellan half an hour later.
The three held a consultation on the
political situation, which lasted for ovel
two hours.
There were no other callers OF promi
nence. and nothing occurred to Inter
rupt the council OF the three leaders.
At Democratic headquarters, at thu
Park Avenue Hotel, 1t was given GU

phernalia necessary to the furnishing
OF the apartments. He will return to

Just before noon Bourke Cochran lief
