Doesn't Care to Be Used as a
Cloak for the Moves of
Machine Men.
4 Bare Chance that II May Refuse
to Admit Grace Men to
the Conference.

ine uedl IL OH. Inc nrSt moves nave
been made In accordance with the plan
Of campaign agreed upon between Candi-
date David Bennett Hill and William r.
! Grace, as outlined in the O'Clock Edi-
ton Of THE Evening World" yesterday.
The publication OF the terms Of the deal
In this newspaper had a disconcertng
effect upon the parties to 1t, particularly
on the keepers of the Tiger which is to
be offered up as a temporary sacrifice on
the Altar Of Harmony.
Mayor Gilroy was thrown into a panic
when 1t became known through THE
Evening Worlds" publication that his
leadership wasn't strong enough to cope
with Senator Hills generalship, and that
as a part Of the plan he was to be de-
prived of the privilege of naming a Tam
many ticket
He was even more put out when. as
result of Senator Hills shrewd ma
noeuvring. he was shorn Of the greater
part of his political power at the meet
ing OF Tammany's Executive Commit
tee, and o Committee of Eight was
named to carry out Tammanys part in
the deal. 1t needs only the statement
that the Mayors arch political enemy
and rival, Henry d. Purroy. was
named as member of that Committee
to show how much Mr.. Gilroy suffered.
In conformity with Mr.. Kills wishes
this Committee Of Eight decided to
postpone the holding OF Tammany's
Congressional and Assembly Conven-
tons until such time as the Deal had
been put through. That was the first
public move by the Hill Harmonizers.
Some Political straws.
The next move was made by the
Grace-Fairchild men in their County
Convention. Instead of simply naming
a committee to confer with the Xxx,
and then adiourning without mention OF
candidates, as the other anti-Tammany
organizations did, Mr.. Grace's Conven-
ton first made public announcement
Of its choice for Mayor and then named
4 conference committee that will insist
upon this choice and no other. This Is
an indication that the Grace men are In
the Deal to stay, and that they propose
to carry out their instructions to force
tn Republicans out Of the Xxx. con-
ference tonight, and so compel them to
name straight ticket John w. Goff is
Mayor, but II Is pretty safe to assume
that he will have no part in Deal to
which Tammany Hall is a party. He
will decline. and then Mr.. Grace will
tot out his bona-fide choice for Mayor.
Perhaps the most significant feature
Of Mr.. arace's County Convention, and
one bearing particularly on the Deal
with Mr.. Hill. was the absence OF talk
about third ticket Mr.. Fairchild
and Mr.. Grace and Col. Robert Grier
Monroe had all said that the third
ticket would be definitely decided upon
Or against at the Convention last night
Z and yet not a word was said openly in
The Convention upon that subject. As
matter of fact, the State Democracy
leaders agreed, when they agreed &c
the Deal, to strangle the third ticket
movement at once.
No Roast for the Machine.
Another very significant thing abou
ne State Democracy Convention wa
he absence of comment by the speaker
upon the treatment the race-FairchilC
delegates received at the hands of tn
machine managers in the Saratoga Con
'ention. 1t had been expected. In view
Vi remarks made by Mr.. Fairchild an
o'hers, that this Convention, like tn
meeting of Shepardites In Brooklyl
tuesday night. would voice its indigna
uon at the treatment accorded Its del
esates. But 1t had never a word to sa
On the subject.
There Is still a chance that the Com
mittee Of Seventy will interfere to spo
'he deal by refusing admittance to II
eohierence to the sixty committee
men appointed by the Grace Cor
"ntion. To-night's meeting will dt
'elop what plans. II any. have bee
rnolVed to confound the Harmon
Dealers
IN the mean time Mr.. Hill. at the Hot
sOrmandie, Is receiving callers and pc
,.Vuhs other details Of bis campaigi
ne carries this Big Deal through su
ssiully his reputation for politics
Ieseity and az a leader will be el
sd beyond comparison with that
oi his machine predecessors.
