SENATOR HTLL EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS
THE GRACE MEN ANXIOUS TO HAVE \ WORD
FROM HIM-TIIE INCOME TAX UNCoN-
STITtTIONAI, HE SAYS.

STtTrTIoNAL. HE SAYS
Senator David y. HILL who arrived from Washing
! ton on Thursday evening, spent some hours at the
| Hotel Normand!e yesterday before continuing his
| journey to Albany. and saw number of Democrats
of both the Snapper and Anti-Snappor varieties
Some OF the latter representatives. OF the New
! York State Democracy and hold close relations TO
cx-Mayor William II. Grace. Senator Hill has had
| frequent interviews with the ex-Mayor and the
Grace leaders recently which are viewed with any
| thing but composure by the regular organization
men," as the Tammany chiefs like to call them
selves when they turn from local to state politics.
| The Wigwam people aware that Mr.. Grace
| extracted from Senator Hill in the last campaign
what the former calls promise. that III cohsidera-
ton Of the Grace organizations support of Hill In
his fororn canvass Cor Governor the New ork
state Democracy's delegates should be admitted to
the next Democratic State Convention on equal
terms with the Tammauy Hall representatives. MI
Hin does not admit to the Tammany reSu-
! lars that any positive promise was given MI Grace
last fall. The Senator would have them believe
that he stipulated nothing more than that the
Claims Of the AntSnappcrs should be treated with
respectful consideration this year. and that they
should be kicked out OF the convention doos as
! they at Saratoga last September.
! These explanations of Mr. llill DO not, however
satisfy the rcstless and wary Wigwamtes and they
| regard thu. Sena or's frequent coqucttng with the
| ex-Mayor and his neutenants with open suspicion.
| Richard Croker eX-Mayor Grant and the element
| which has ;he upper hand in Tamtn1ny ha'.
| will bitterly oppose any plan which cont. mpIatrs
| the recognition Of william X. Grace by the state
| Democracy. Nothing in the view Of Croker and
| Grant AMI their allies would prove 50 injurious -
| the prestige of Tamnany Hall to compel il 10
| share with Grace Now-York Ci;y's representation
| in the Democratic state Convention. They are at
work pcrfcctiue their organization with The avoWed
| Intention Of running straight Tammany Hall ticket
this fall, AMI boast that they have already sGuecheI
| The Giroy-C ckrlu-Clark cOterie which had been
| renewing its project Of last year for union Demo-
| cratic nomination.
In their ngh, against the admission Of Grace the
dominant Tamr1ny faction counts Oh IN" active
