GOING ON THE STUMP
Officials of the Administration to Help the
Party.
A Misty View Here of the Situation
in New York-MOre Interest I'm the
Congregational Elections.

In some mysterious way the idea of the
embargo being placed by Mr.. Cleveland up
on officials If this administration taking
part in the campaign seems to have been
associated with Assistant Secretary Nc
Adoos going to New York What inter-
ference there may have been with any pur-
pose of Mr. McAdoo to take the stump in
the empire state will probably remain a
mystery. That MIR. Cleveland had anything
to do with the abridgment of the political
liberty of the officials under him is denied
from every quarter where information could
De had. The intimat ton is made that there
was a misunderstanding on the subject
growing out of the timidity of some official
who thought Mr.. Cleveland should be heard
from before members OF the administra ton
should commit themselves in favor of Mr.
Hill.
All Going on the Stump.
Whatever there was in the matter orig
inally, 1t has evidently been cleared up now,
for not only have other members of the
administration taken the stump in their
own localities, but Mr.. McAdoo has placed
himself at the disposal of Mir. Hill in New
York after Friday, and between now and
Friday he will accompany the Wilson party
in stumping tour in West Virginia.
Whether any direct communication has
been had with Mr.. Cleveland on the subject
is matter of doubt, but good many are
willing to infer that before any member of
the administration made engagements for
New York they were satisfied that Mr..
Cleveland in some way, directly or indi-
rectly, would make known his desire that
Mr.. Hill, together with the rest of the dem
ocratic ticket, should be elected.
The New York Situation Misty.
The view got by democrats here of the
New York situation is very misty. Talk
with democrats generally, however, dis
I'll. haxr
confidence in Mr.. Hills election. But a
short time ago the congressional committee
showed great deal of interest in the tate
CT Hill, and while most of them are not
personally friendly to the New York Sena-
tor, great anxiety for his success. for party
reasons, was shown. Now, however, they
are devOting themselves entirely to the con-
gressional situation, and give no evidence of
interest in anything except the titles Of the
congressional districts in New York, which
they are trying to pull out. Mr.. Faulkner
left for New York last night, and the ex-
pectation is that curing this day and to-
night the question will be settled one way or
the other. 1t is unquestionably the eXpecta-
tion o. the committee that a readjustment
between TamHany and the Grace people
will be announced tomorrow. 1t is believed
that the influence of Grant, the Tammany
candidate for mayor, will be potent in this
matter.
In West Virginia.
stump in wills, MS and Alderson's districts
in " est Virginia, has returned to Washing
ton, and will probably make but two more
speeches during the campaign, both of
which will be in Virginia. Speaking to a
Star rel orter this morning, AIR. Mansur
said: II know only of two districts in West
Virginia in which / nave been speaking. In
both these districts the audiences have been
large and there has been a great manifesto
tion OF enthusiasm. 1t has been, and still
is, hard fight, but / am thoroughly salts
fled that both Wilson and Anderson will be
elected.
Controller EckeIs' Engagements.
Mr.. Eckels, the controller Of the currency,
returned to the city today from Chicago.
He will leave here again next Thursday Tor
Pittsburg, where, on Friday night, he will
speak at a democratic meeting. Mr.. Sim
gerly and Governor PattiSon will be the
other speakers. From PiTtsOurg MIR. Eckels
will go to Illinois and deliver a number OF
speeches in his home cOunty-La Sale.
