The Two, with Col. Lamont, Talk Over the
Political ~ nation In New York.


Political ~ uation In New YORK.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-Mr. Richard Cookers
visit to Washington has given rise TO tho
widest kind Of speculation. and various stories
are circulated as TO tho Significance of his
presence here. Mr.. Croker spent considerable
time at the Capitol to-day and held Informal
conferences with various members Of the New
York delegation. In spite OF the many con-
1ctine reports concerning his visit It appears
that Mr.. Croker came TO Washington at tho
instance Of President Cleveland to talk
over the political situation in New York.
The President Secretary Lamont. and Mr..
Croker have been in conference. but 1t
10 impossible to get any one OF them
to say anything on the subject. None OF tho
members OF the New York delegation who
have seen Mr.. Croker will say Whit passed be-
tween the President and Mr. Croker during the
latters visit TO the White House yesterday.
nor do they undertake to say what occurred at
the interview between Secretary Lamont and
Mr.. Croker to-day.
Representative Dunphy, who had a chat
with Mr.. Croker in the passaReway. says that
Mr.. Croker told him that prior to coming to
Washington he was frequently nsked by gem
