and Elections.
The Schwarz and Duncan leaders ar a
conference yesterday, decided not to call
e meeting Of citizens tonight for the pur-
pose Of putting mayora1ty candidate In
The field TO oppose the candidate of the
Citizens' Club.
The meeting viii probably be called for
one night next week tt is desired to Sc
cure the theater, which is engaged for
every night this week.
The Schwarz people had little to say yes
terday beyond repeating their expressions
of Indignation at the treatment of their
candidate by the Citizens Club, and an
uouncing their determination to down Mr..
Myers. The candidacy Of Dr. Duncan is
agreeable to most of them, and there is
no doubt that he win receive practically

fnent If he should decide TO make the race
AS to this point it is not definitely
known yet whether DR.. Duncan win ac-
cept the nomination, which will in all
probability, be rendered him. This doubt
less. depends a great deal upon the char
scter of the meeting and the support which
Is assured him from the different elements
in opposition to the Citizens Club. Eff
forts are now being made to feel the diff
ferent organizations. A lengthy conference
Cf the leaders was held at the Office Of
Dir. F. G. duBignon. Dr. Duncan was
present and so was Mai. Schwarz, with
Two or three of the latters lieutenants.
What was done is not known, but prob
ably plan of campaign was mapped out
J. is likely that a list of registrars, repre-
Eenting this faction, was made up, to be
presented to the commissioners of regis
1ration and elections to-day. The Tam
many people have already put in their list,
p s have also the Citizens Club. This will
give the commissioners three separate
lists to choose from, and as only two man
ayers can be appointed from each precinct,
the commissioners will find 1t rather hard
10 satisfy all parties.
II all the elements in opposition to the
Citizens Club should combine upon DR.
Duncan or any other candidate, the cleo
fion Of that candidate would be practically
assured Il is doubtful however, if this
can be done The administration people
will in all likelihood put out their own
candidate, and at the present writing it
looks very much as if Mayor McDonough
will be the man. There is some talk

false hopes on that score. I know there
has been some talk of that kind but il was
on the part of unauthorized members who
were not in position to speak for either
club"
The gentleman did not say that Mayor
McDonough would be the candidate, but
he intimated it pretty strongly. Next to
Mayor McDonough, Alderman Wells and
Mills appear to have the preference of the
administration faction, with some mention
of Alderman Charlton and Mr. w. G. Cam.
The latter is very favorably spoken of by
many anti-admnistration men, who are

reporter last night that he believed all

Club could be united upon Mr. Cam
President Osborne of the Citizens Club
left last night for Atlanta. Before leav-
ing he appointed a committee to notify
Mr.. Myers of his nomination by the Cit
liens Club as its candidate for mayor.
The committee viii call upon Mv. Myers
to-day and formerly notify him of his
nomination. Mr.. Myers informed a Morn
ing News reporter yesterday that he would
reply to the notification of the committee
in a letter. which would be given to the
press. He might take a day or two to
consider before writing the letter he
sand. There is, OF course, no doubt of
Nr. Myers acceptance of the nomination.
