State Democrats Said to Have

Out of the Conference.
WILL NAME A LOCAL TICKET.
Have They a Promise from Candi.
date Hill That Tammany aEgS
Will Indsrse III

BY the terms of a deal arranged to-
day. the Hill thermometers may be said
to have killed off the third ticket, pos
sibility. and they expect by another bold
move already planned, to carry the
stae Democracy for the State ticket.
In outline this Is the deal and the plan
by which the State Democrats will get
the names OF their local candidates
printed on the State ticket:
First-The Grace airchild Committee
to the final conference invited by the
Committee of Seventy will insist upon
presenting as the union candidate for
Mayor a man who will not be accept
able to the Republican copferrees. The
race-Fairchild conferrees will refuse to
waive their claims in favor of those Of
any Of the others, and they expect by
their insistence to leave the Republi-
can conferees no other recourse but to
withdraw. revonvene their Convention
and nominate q straight Republican
ticket.
Second-The State Democracy Conven-
ton Is then to be reconvened and a
State Democracy local ticket put In the
field.
Third-An attempt is then to be made
to get the Committee of Seventy to
indorse the State Democracy local
ticket.
Fourth-As a sort OF grand-stand play,
Tammany Hall is then to surprise every
body by indorsing for Office the candi-
dates selected by the State Democracy.
Fifth-Then the State Democracy's
local ticket will be printed on the State
machine ticket, and everybody. partic-
ularly the Hill thermometers, will be
made happy.
There is a chance that the Committee
of Seventy and the Republican Confer
ence Committee may knock these ar
rangements, now that they are known,
into smithereens before the final con-
ference with the Xxx. tomorrow night.
II in no other way, they could do It by
refusing to admit the Grace-Fairchild
Committee to the conference.
The deal Is said to have been worked
out by Mr.. Hill. and to have been ar
ranged, SO far as the Grace-Fairchild
end OF 1t is concerned. through various
persons, one OF whom is said to have
been Delaney Nicoli. and another Con-
gresham, Jospeh C. Hendrix. Of Brook
Ign.
Tammany's compliance Is said to have
been forced by Mr.. Hill himself at a con-
ference at the Hotel Normandie. in
which Mayor Gilroy. Bourke Cochran
and one or two other representatives Of
Tammany took part,
Mr.. Hill is said to have declared to the
Tammany leaders that as Tammany put
up the job to stampede the Convention
for him. and in that way made itself re-
sponsible for his candidacy. It would
have TO become a party to this deal to
enable him to win. or he would publish
his declination OF the nomination.
II must have been a bitter pill to the
Tammany boss. but his 'asides" as he
reluctantly gave his assent are not q
matter OF record. Mr.. Hill Is said to
have pointed out that Tammany Is max.
ing no sacrifice in the matter. as under
existing conditions its ticket. II It put
one up. would be showed under any
how.
The arrangements on the Grace-Fair-
child side are said to have been agreed
to at a meeting held at noon to-day,
when Messrs. Grace. Fairchild and Mon
roe met in Mr.. Fairchild's office for that
purpose. The conference lasted only
twenty minutes. and at its conclusion Mr..
Grace made this significant statement
to an Evening World" reporter:
There is nothing new in the situa-
ton regarding a third State ticket In
fact, there is such a difference OF opinion
1t that nothing will be defn-
itely known until after the convention
