MILHOLLAND WEEPS.
Turned Down, He Mourns the Loss
of Promised Patronage.
But Platts Young Man May Make
an Appeal for Shelter.
He May Send Contesting Delegati ton
to the Conventions.

The limit fixed by law for filing the
lists of ballot clerks, poll clerks and
election inspectors expired to-day. Both
Republicans and Democrats presented
their lists to the Police Board early this
month.
The law provides that the Board Of
Police Commissioners shall confirm the
candidates of the faction declared reg
ular by Its respective State Committee.
There are 5000 of these election officers.
equally divided between the two leading
parties.
The question Of regularity by the Re-
publican factions having been settled in
favor of the Bliss-Patterson- Brookfeid
combination, and against John Z. MIL
holland, the Police Commissioners will
now approve the list OF the latter and
the one presented by Tammany Hall.
This Is the reason why Milholland
weeps. Patronage is one of the main
stays of political organization. and he
has lost all Milholland feels his defeat
the more keenly because he was beaten
with his own weapons. The law under
which he was declared irregular was
Platt's Legislature for the express pur-
pose of giving Boss Platts State COM
mittee authority to recognize Boss
Platt's young man Milholland's organ
ization of political pirates.
II suited Boss Platts purpose to do
the other thing. and he threw Milhol-
land overheard. The young man Is
making a feeble effort to carry out his
original purpose to help Tammany Hall
by nominating a straight ticket. He
cannot do much harm, however, as he
has no large following.
Enrolment books viii be open at the
Republican headquarters in all Assem-
bly, districts tonight and tomorrow, to
give the Millhollandites an opportunity
TO come into the regular fold. Ii will
probably be a waste of time for the
enrolling officers, as Milholland has
overruled the Republican State Commit
tee and decided the Bliss-Pa tterson fac
ton irregular.
Milholland proposes to hold con-
vention, and send a contesting delega-
ton to the State Convention, which
action would be in the nature OF an
appeal to that body.
AS IL IL, one OF the fundamental prin-
ciples OF parties not to recognize fac
tions that have not gained IA standing
at the polls. he will fritter away his
time.

NO YACHT RACE TO-DAY.
yigilant Britannia Match POST
pOned Owing to u Gale.


FRESHWATER, Isle of Wight. Aug.
l5.-The private match arranged be-
tween Mr.. George ]. Gould and the
Prince of Wales, to sail Vigilant and
Britannia fifteen miles to windward and
return, for O. cup offered by Lord
Wolverton, was postponed indefinitely
this morning, owing to the fact that q
gale of wind was blowing, making it i'm
possible for the yachts to put to sea.
The Times says 1t is probable that
the decision of the Gould brothers not
to contest in yesterdays regatta lost
Vigilant race.
The failure of the Messrs. Gould to
race Vigilant yesterday is still adversely
commented upon on all sides. One
newspaper says: I'VE hear SO much
about what Vigilant can do in hard
wind that 1t would have been only
sportsmanlike to give Satanita a chance
Of proving her. The excuse that Vigil
liant was preparing for to-day does not
hold. 1t must be noted that Britannia
does not need to go into training"

The Mayor of New York left for

His trip was, IN plan and action to the

hustle.
He made up his mind yesterday noon
to sail on the Paris this morning, and
SO notified the officers of the American
line. Even this notification seems to
have been qualified. as 1t was not known
on board whether or not he would sail.
and consequently no stateroom was az

He had intended taking only his two
sons. Eugene and Arthur, but at the

Of the esteem was seen to give him part
ing cheer. At the very last minute, while
the gongs were sounding all ashore, he
came hurriedly aboard with his children
and none else.
The absence Of throngs and salvos
was due. it appears, to the imperative
request of the distinguished plbrim him
self.
At his office he was busy consulting
with the heads OF various departments
and Col. George b. Mcclellan. who will
be acting Mayor.
The Mayor requested of his friends not
to make any demonstration at the City
Hall or on the pier, or otherwise all the
place-holders from the Bronx to the
Battery would have considered 1t their
duty to say good-by to their chief. Only
Counsel Clark and Bridge Trustee Skin

he would run about from London to

The Mayor looked in tip-top health,

Hospital. was alive at IL o'clock this
morning.
The attendants and officials at the
hospital We're very reticent and would
say nothing about Mr.. Lawrence's con-
diton. except that he was about the
same as when he was brought In.
They teephoned from the hospital
when inquiry was made in that way
that Mr.. Lawrence might recover, al
though his chances were few.
While The Evening World reporter
was sitting in the office of the hospital
he noticed u curious circumstance which
may have bearing upon the attempted
suicide of Lawrence. Lying on the
clerks desk was a piece of paper upon
which was written:
Rose Campbell is In immediate dan
The city directory contains the names
of only two j. A. Lawrences, and they
are evidently laboring men and could

man at the door not only refused in
formation to any but club members,
but also refused to carry a message
to the Secretary of the Club, saying
that he was acting under orders.
At the Fifty first police station IT was
stated that u policeman was detailed
to watch over Lawrence at the hospital
and that he was under arrest for at
tempted suicide.
A trail OF blood leading from the spot
where Lawrence shot himself 10 the
Century Club was plainly visible on the
sidewalk this morning, although at
tempts had evidently been made to wash
1t off. DR.. Il. o. Tansley, who lives
nearly opposite the Century Club and
who was one of the physicians called
last night to attend Lawrence. said
this morning:
