THEIR SUPPORT NECESSARY.
Hint Thrown Out that Hill May
Not Accept if His
Mission Fails.
LIKELY TO CALL on GAYNOR.
Part Of the Harmony Plan Is to
Induce the Justice to
Accept.

There is to be strong effort made at
once to harmonic the factions IN the
Democratic party in this city, with a
view to uniting them in support of the
State ticket. 1t is conceded that If the
present situation of affairs continues for
two weeks longer the damage Will be
irremediable
So Mr.. John Boyd Thacnt' and Mr..
Hill and Chairman of the State Commit
tee Hinckley have come to town for the
purpose of opening sort of Faith-Cur
bureau. In which old political sores are
u be cured by the laying on of hands.
1t is given out that Mr.. Hill is in town
on personal business. but It Is hard to
conceive of any more important business
that Mr. Hill has on hand at the present
time than that Of fixing up his political
fences. so that he can corral and hold the
full party vote
The talk of third ticket and the out
spoken opposition of Charles S. Fair
child. Edward NJ. Shepard, Oswald Of
tendorfer and others to the nominees of
the machine Convention have shown Mr..
HIS managers that their first efforts
must be directed towards overcoming
this opposition.
So Mr., Hill is here to see and be
be made to bring. about meetings be-
tween Mr.. Fairchild and Mr.. HILL and
Mr.. Shepard and Mr.. Hill. or between
personal represe ,na ,ys Of the gentle
tieuiar stress Will be laid upon the
efforts Mr.. Hill is said to have made to
secure fair treatment in the Convention
for the Grace Fairchild and the Shepard
delegations.
From present indications an argument
the reply that the Senator's action in
this connection was in the nature of "a
blum; that the rejection of anti-machine
delegates was as much cut and dried
as any other part of the work of the
Convention. and that certain utterances
were poured out in their behalf as a
sort of balm to wounded feelings and
with the intention of seeming atonem' mt
,or the indignity 1t had already been de-
c'ded to intiict upon them.
Mr.. Hills friends claim to be able to
prove the contrary and there Is some
hope that they may succeed in doing SO.
1t is said to have been limited that the
machine managers have a trump, card
In reserve for their last play, and that
this card is Mr.. Hills refusal to accept
the nomination. on the high ground that
as he is not the choice of the whole
party he. cannot consent to make the
race as the represen tative of faction.
Taking into consideration Mr.. HIS
known ability as a leader and his fight
Ing qualities, there is reason to believe
tnat thls nlnt, ii IL mas p7en thrown OUT
at all, is hardly a truthful indication of
what may be expected.
Mr.. Hill would rather fight to the
last ditch in the face of certain defeat
than to surrender without struggle, "
said one Of his friends to-day, AMI this
is the opinion n us c1e"cs, ,nl.
Altogether the fight Is a mighty inter
esting one, and up to the present the
anti machine leaders have succeeded
liz injcc ting a greater lot of distrust and
doubt into the situation than has eX-
listed at this period in a similar CAM
paign in many years.
