MAYOR WURsTER ADVISES.
HE rs COY WHEN APPROACHED ABOUT
THE CONGRESS NOMINATION.

MARK HANNAs DIPLOMACY is PRAISED AND
APPEARANCES INDICATE THAT HIS Fol-
LOWERS WILL BE IN EVIDENCE
AT THE CONVENTIONS.
Mayor Wurster said yesterday that the first
he had heard OF his alleged candidacy for the
nomination for Congress in the With District was
from the newspapers. He added:
II have always said that believed in one term
for the Mayor. / said in q speech at the Hamil-
ton Club soon after my election that did not be-
lieve a Mayor should be candidate at the same
time for another Office. because however con-
scientious he might be. thought his official ac-
tons must be influenced by such an ambition
That think, is all have to say on that sub
ject"
1t will be noticed that Mr.. Wurster does not go
to the extent OF saying that he would thrust
nomination from him If ii came unsought.
Mayor Wurster praised the course of Mark
Hanna in not recognizing factions in this state
and said that this was the right course to pursue
to secure Major McKinleys election.
This is a time" continued Mr.. Wurster
when factional differences sink to nothing as
compared with the importance Of saving the
country from a National disaster. such as the
election of Bryan would prove to be-
eral days without naming the Democratic cleo
ton officers. Jacob Bremen will hear arguments
from both factions of the Fourteenth Seven
teenth and Twenty-ffth Ward Republicans be-
fore selecting Republican election officers from
those wards.
William Kramer. OF the Nineteenth Ward
whom Mayor Wurster has just appointed
police Justice has invited large number OF
administration men to attend a conference to
be held at Division and Lee ayes. on Monday
night The call for this meeting was determined
upon at a meeting Of the Vth Congress District
Republican Committee, to the end that Assem-
bly, nominations for the support OF the admins
tration might be secured TIE invitation reads:
"A committee of five was appointed to issue q
call to influential Republicans in the Eastern
District and In the Twenty-sixth Ward to meet
in conference. devise means and lay out lines OF
action which will result in eIectng to the state
convention from the various Assembly districts
in the territory named independent and honest
delegates who vii! cooperate with delegates
from other parts OF the State having the same
object in view, viz, to bring about new method
Of management In the organization more CON
sonant with the best interests Of the party than
those now employed"
AS Mr. Kramer is Mayor Wursters right
hand man. this Is looked upon as an enor, Oh
the part of the Mayor to control the Kings
County delegation against Worth.
Fire Commissioner Bryant returned from Eu-
rope yester lay on the steamer Paris He mas
entirely recovered his health. The English ne

Mckinley since he became the selected chanl~
pion Of honest money.
The Worth men hope to get an advantage out
of the probably unanimous support the kines
County delegation IL going to give f.rK com
missioner Woodruff for Lieutenant Governor
OF course they desire to swing the delesa-
ton into line for whomsoever Platt may direct

that in order to get sufficient votes from Platt
