WANTS G0FF FOR RECORDER.
REV. DR.. PARKHURsT'S ACTIVITY.

There may be lively times tonight at
the conference between the Committee OF
Seventy and delegations of the various
anti-Tammany organizations.
The object OF the conference Is to name
a union IDEAL ticket, but the action Of
the Grace wing of the Democracy in
practically committing itself to the NOM
nation of John w. Gofr for Mayor, may
destroy the purpose OF the Convention.
Since the action of the Grace men be-
came known, the Republican leaders
have declared that they will not accept
the union ticket unless 1t 10 headed by Q
Republican for Mayor.
In view OF the State Democracy's
deal with Mr.. Hill 1t is expected that
the Committee of Seventy will present
the name Of a Republican for Mayor.
as it is known that the Committee all
along intended to name John w. Gon
for Recorder. ...
Chairman Smith. of the Committee OF
Seventy, had an interview with Mr..
Goff this morning and, 1t Is reported.
secured from him a statement that he
Is not a candidate. If this Is so, that
statement will be produced when the
Grace men declare their preference for
Mr.. Goff. Then 1t will devolve upon
the Grace men to either indorse the
LXX.'s candidate, probably William l..
Strong, OF else bolt the conference.
II 1t should so happen that the Xxx
should indorse Con- for Mayor. then the
Republicans will bolt and put a straight
ticket in the field.
1t is more than likely, however. that
the Committee of Seventy will array
itself against Mr.. Grace.
The Executive Committee of the Sew
enty held a meeting behind closed doors
this afternoon on the subject Of the
Grace-Hill DEAL and while the action
Of the Committee could not be definitely
ascertained. there was a report that II
had decided to recommend to the full
Committee that 1t repudiate Its confer
ence with the State Democracy and
refuse to admit that ORGANIZATIONS dele
gates at to-night's meeting.
At 3 o'clock the full Committee Of Sew
enty went into session to consider the
situation. Upon its action will depend
whether or not the Grace men are to be
allowed representation in to-night's con-
ference.
Shortly before o'clock DR.. Parkhurst
appeared at the Chamber OF Commeros
and remained until a number Of ths
members of the Committee Of Xxx. ar
rived He wrote several letters and left
them for delivery, but had no converse
ton with any one.
None OF the members of the Commit

Shortly before o'clock a messenger
arrived with an important communica-
ton for MI. Cline, and, although he
insisted that 1t had reference to the busi-
ness before the LINZ, he was not ad-
mitted.
The Committee was stil in session
when this edition went 10 press.
That Mr.. Platts leutenants will hold
out for Republican TO lead the union
ticket may be set down as a certainty.
