ACTION TO Be POSTPONED.
Mai. SchWaTZ Not TO Be Nominated by
The Citizens Club Tomorrow Night.

lu6 OlllLtuS OluU lU-HlUIlUh NlSHl,
That Is What Prominent Members
of the Club Say Now 49, The An
nouncement of the Caucus Sch sme
Causes a Big Kick, as the Result OF
Which the Idea of an Immediate
Nomination Eas Been Abandoned.
Mai. Schwarz will not be nominated at
the meeting Of the Citizens Club tomorrow
night, Judging from the expressions Of sew
eraI leaders of the club. The newspaper
notoriety which was given 10 the action Of
Fridays caucus seems to have punctured
the ma or's boom for an early nomination.
The next caucus will probably be more
careful and will not be held in the open
street, as it were. A number Of prominent
members Of the Citizens Club who have
been seen expressed themselves as decid-
eddy opposed 10 an early nomination by the
club and asserted very strongly that they
would see to it that the plans Of the eau
Gus, if any such as published had been
made, were not carried out. They said it
would not be fair TO other candidates, who
are now, or who may contemplate, getting
into the field.
THINKS THE EARLY NOMINATION MISTAKE.
A strong supporter Of Maj. Schwarz. in
talking with a MORNING News reporter.
said it would be a great mistake TO make
the nomination now. II is too early en-
tirely, he said, and would give all the ad-
vantages OF the fight to the opponents of the
club, who would then have all the leisure
they wanted to 60 ahead and mature their
plans against its candidate.
''When the Citizens Club makes its
nomination for mayor" he predicted,
there will be a full board of aldermen
named at the same time, and IL viii be
such a ticket as will command the respect
of the community. We do not intend to
place any weak ticket in the field. The
people who met in the Friday caucus
represented nobody but themselves, and
their action will have little weight with
the club. In my opinion the nomination
will not be made until after the election
for county officers in January. We will
then have clear field and no conflicting
issues TO interfere. 1t is too early to act
yet"
DIFFERENT PLAN INTENDED.
1t is understood that the real object of
the caucus at which it was decided 10
nominate Mai. Schwarz tomorrow night
was somewhat different from that arrived
at, as it was believed by some that the eff
fort was to be made to have the nomination
e----~ ''NNN%N-
more opportune.
A conservative member Of the Citizens
Club says that the publication Of the
action Of the caucus had beneficial effect
so far as the club is concerned in that it
has brought about discussion, and espe-
cially among those who do not favor max
ing a nomination at the present time. This
class of mem bers, il is thought, will be out
in full force at the meeting tomorrow
night, at which it is said that the
hot 81
with regard to the mayoralty
will be TO pass some resOlu-
ton postponing the nomination and per-
haps fixing date for it at a reasonable
time before the election is TO take place
tits believed that the two elements, one
desiring an immediate nomination and the
other opposing it, will unite on some such
resolution, and harmony will be fully re-
stored. This is the prediction ofa member
Of the club.
CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN UNAUTHoRIZED.
1t is also stated that the meeting at JUS
tice Sheftall's Office was entirely unau-
th9rized, and was opposed by large num-
Der of the clubs members. The meeting
was not called by President Osborne, he
says and he was present on an invitation
Xetended about the time the meeting was
called together The meeting, IL is said, in
no way binds the club, and the proceedings
were only the expression of those of the
mem bers present. 1t is not believed num-
Der stated, that the conservative element in
the club will submit 10 any such caucus
dictation, as seems to have been attempted
in this case
Shrewd observers predict that the dis
cussion on this question will wax warm
and interesting at the meeting OF the club
tomorrow night. Some think an attempt
will be made to put through MIR. Schwar2's
nomination anyway. A gentleman who
had conversation with Maj. Schwarz yes
terday, told MORNING NEWS reporter
that the major spoke as if he considered
his nomination an assnrnd fact
