AND THE ADMINISTRATION IS o. K.

Justice William ]. Gaynor's attitude
towards the Democratic State ticket is no
longer matter of doubt. He is reported
to have given Chairman Hinck!ey OF the
Democratic State Committee, assurance
that he will accept the nomination for
Judge OF the Court of Appeals. and this
afternoon he paid his respects In person
to Senator David B. Hill
What was. actually said and done at
their meeting is known positively only to
themselves and Chairman Hinckley, who
was present.
A remark made this morning by JUS
tice Gaynor to an Evening World" re-
porter, to the effect that the news must
come from the other side of the bridge"
was construed TO mean that Major
Hinckley, Chairman OF the State Demo-
cratic Committee, had obtained his an
swer.
The reporter hurried up TO zee Major
Hinckley at the Murray Hill Hotel, and
in reply tn his query, Major Hinckley
sent down this reply:
From my talk yesterday with Justice
Gaynor, ], am satisfied that he will re-
main on the ticket for Court of APP
peals Judge. That is all am at lib
erty to say now on the subject"
At the time Major HinckIey was In
conference with Senator Hill.
This is the tip Justice Gaynor gave
1.-THE Evening World" man:
"All the information must now come
from New York. 1t Is all in their hands
over there. have nothing to say, and
will have nothing to say. They are
the ones to see. l cGn say nothing.
Everything has been left to them.
II wish to deny, however, that I saw
anybody in New York last night, not
withstanding the report In the papers
this morning that l was with Major
Hinckley."
During the noon recess of his court
Justice Gaynor came to New York and
went at once to the Murray Hill Hotel.
He was shown at once to Major Hinck-
ley's room. where Senator Hill was
then waiting in expectation Of his ar
rival.
Justice Gaynor Senator Hill and
Major Hinckley were together for some
little time. and then the Justice came
down alone and started for Brooklyn.
He positively refused to talk for pub
LEGATION, and would not even admit that
he had seen Senator Hill.
1t is thought the meeting between
Senator Hill and Justice Gaynor was
arranged yesterday by Major Hinckley
when the latter went over to Brooklyn
and saw the Justice.
Major Hinckley was asked later II
he would make public Justice Gaynor's
letter Of acceptance. and he replied
mot to- day"
An interesting rumor became current
at the Hotel Normandie this Afternoon
soon after Senator Hills return and II
professed among other things to accoun,
for Justice Gaynor's visit to Hill.
1t was to the effect that as Justice
Gaynor sometimes writes editorials fol
his friend, st. Clair McKelway. OF the
Brooklyn Eagle, he was afraid he would
be credited with having written the edl
torial which appeared in that paper yes
terday demanding that Hill withdraw
so as to make room at the top of the
ticket for Gaynor.
made Gaynor hopping mad. He con
cluded that 1t would be attributed tc
him, and in order to head OFF such ar
accusation sent word to Major Hinckley
that he had decided to accept the nom
ination for Judge OF the Court OF APP
peals.
ST. Clair McKelway called upon Justic,
Gaynor in .he Supreme Court. Brooklyn
to-day. and when (still according to tn,
rumor) he was told Of the result OF hi
editorial he almost had Mt.
AS an indication OF the truth OF THU
rumor. It may be stated that Editor
McKelway accompanied Justice Gaynoi
to the Murray Hill Hotel to-day, so a.
to be on hand. II necessary, to vouci
for the fact that II was written with
out Justice Gaynor's knowledge.
Whether Editor McKelway also saw
Senator Hill Is not known. He returned
to Brooklyn with the Justice.
There was group OF Justice Gay
nors friends in the office OF Lawyer
Grout, Justice Gaynor's former partner
this afternoon when an Evening
World" reporter called there with tn,
news OF Justice Gaynor's acceptance.
The information was not credited Al

asked earnestly:
