Haugh was coming along his post lit

old man lying unconscious on the stop
OF 1908 sixth avenue, which is near the
corner of Fifty-ciRhth street.

managed to partially arouse Mr. Bank

he lived Under the impression that he
walked him about from street to street
for half an hour. believing that he
would recognize his house IL he saw II.
AS a matter OF fact, Nr. Banker was
taken past his house by the policeman
without knowing II. Hough finally took
Mr. Banker to the stationhous where
he was made comfortable for the night.
He was almost constantly watched

He then collected his thoughts and
explained that he had gone out yester-
day afternoon to pay visit to a friend
on his way home he said he stopped at
a saloon on Third avenue and got a
drink of whiskey. 1t was then about
o'clock last evening.
After that one drink he said every

There is little belt OF woods north
OF the Long Island Railroad track, be-

COUNTIES A PUZZLE.
Politicians Kept Guessing as to
Which Ticket They Will Holp.
Their Attitude as Regards Grace to
Be Made Public Te.Morrow.
Some Believe They VIII Nominate
Their Own Ticket.

The attitude of the Independent Coun-
ty Organization towards the Committee
of Inns union ticket will be definitely
made known tomorrow night at the
meeting of the County Committee III ~
Seventh street.
The Independents have exhibited a dis
position to bolt the Inns ticket be-
cause their Conference Committee was
not consulted as TO the makeup of the
ticket. At the request Of the Inn. the
Independents. who were first in the
field against Tammany, postponed their
County Convention and refrained from
putting up Il ticket on the repres' nta-
ton of the L%N. that that body pro-
posed to put one in the field that would
represent all the organizations opposed
to Tammany Hall
As the Inns ticket is made up al
most exclusively of Grace Democracy
men. the exceptions being Strong IA Re
publicam for Mayor and Tamsen "a
German American Reformer) for Sheriff,
the Independents feel that they have
been bunCoed.
overtures have been made to the
leaders of the Independents by Tam
many men To get them TO indorse Straus
and the Tammany ticket, but these
overtures have failed Of their purpose.
The Independents replied that they
were still opposed to Tammany. and
that peace with that organization could
not be purchased at any price that,
while they were displeased with the
action OF the LXX., they proposed to
show that displeasure in way, thor
oughly consistent with their past declar-
atoms.
This is taken to mean that the In
dependents will either put up ticket
Of their own or else nominate Strong
and Con for Mayor and Recorder. and
decline to take any action as regards
the Grace Democrats on the LINZ. 5
ticket.
The Independents are just now. as a
result OF the doubt az to what they VIII
finally decide upon doing, cause OF
much worry to both armies on the
municipal battle ground.
The Independents hold the balance OF
power below Fourteenth street ana In
the densely populated parts of the east
side and for that reason the Tammany
leaders are using all sorts of induce
ments to get them to come out for
Straus and Smyth.
The reformers. because an Independent
County Organization ticket would very
likely cause the defeat OF the Ink. =
candidates. are also making overtures
to the Indepe rdents.- 49,
Both sides, however Will be left in
doubt until the action of the County
Committee tomorrow night Is made
