DO In the Congress Districts.
Police Commissioner James J. Martin and
other Tammany Hall leaders will meet Senator
Charles J. Faulkner at the Imperial Hotel this
morning TO talk over the muddle in which the
Democratic campaign for Congress in this city
at present IL.
1t can be said. though. that thew will not enter
the conference with very strong hope that IL will
result in the harmony which Ia desired. They
are at a loss to know how they can get some Of
the candidates to withdraw from the race to
admit OF the nomination ofothers Of Mr.. Grace's
choosing.
Mayor Gilroy, Police Commissioner Martin,
Mr.. Grant, and some other leaders Of the organi-
nation spent good part Of sunday night dis
cussing the matter. They know that It is the
desire of Mr.. Hill and OF the managers Of the
Democratic campaign in the State that Tam
many shall withdraw some of It's candidate for
Congress TO avoid dividing the Democratic vote,
and they endeavored to ascertain how this
could be done. The Encouragement OF the Con-
gress nominations, they said, would also involve
the withdrawal OF some candidates for Assem-
blymen and union on Grace candidates.
The result Of the conference was summed up
by q Tammany Hall leader yesterday.
II don't see how 1t is going to be DONE" said
he. 1T can't be unless we can get our candi-
walkover in the Seventh district as his Repub-
lican opponent will not have his name on an off,

An Indication OF the way Mr.. Grace proposes
to fix up the Congress nominations to suit his
organization was afforded yesterday by Mr.
George Walton Green. who proposed 10 Col
George n. Mcclellan that both withdraw in the
Twelfth district In favor Of Congressman Cock
ran. Both Mr.. Grace and Mr.. Green know that
Mr. Cochran absolutely refused to become a
candidate for reelection.
The Tammany leaders next expect 10 hear that
Mr. Grace will not be satisfied until Congress-
men Dunphy and Warner. both of whom have
spent much time In abusing that organization,
are taken up by the Wigwam In place OF some
OF its present candidates.
Mr.. Grace and Francis NJ. Scott will call on
Senator Faulkner this morning TO arrange for .
discussion Of the situation from their point of
view after the Tammany leaders have had their
say.
