Mr.. Platt's friends solemnly aver that

can have the nomination II he will say

from Europe on Friday or Saturday,
and within twenty-four hours after his
arrival 1t Is expected to be known
whether he will accept.
Meantime young M. Fassett Is not
letting any grass grow under his feet.
According to those familiar with the
up strife and dissention, and make Mr..
Morton believe that he cannot get the
unanimous nomination, In the hope of

accordance with this programme, are
said to be encouraging all the candi-
dates ,hey can to O., enter the field; The
likes 1t, because Mr.. Morton may then

The purpose Of this Is apparent when
Morton will be candidate. He thinks

He has had the. great honor of being
vice-Presldent Of these United States,

With Mr.. Morton out of the way. Mr..
Fassett thinks he stands the best
chance before the convention, and he
is doing all he can to win.
Senator Saxton. it is believed, would
be satisfied with second place with
either Morton or Fassett, and Mr..
Choate. as pointed out in these columns
yesterday, cannot be seriously con-
sidered In the race. As matters now APP
pear, the Republican nominee for Gov
ernor will either be Morton or Fassett,

factions. He ID banker and has a

to open 1t as Mr.. Morton: With Nor;
have "a, good thing" as they say at the
racetrack.
1t is the unanimous opinion of all pol
iticians, however, that II Is too early
yet to predict with any degree Of def
initeness, who the candidates for Mayor
will be, because no one knows what
deals and combinations may be made.
