 Platt New Workers Pass Resolution
 Against It.
 St, Louis, June 1.-The vice presi- dential fight waxes hot, with chances said to be slightly in favor of the Ten nessee statesman, II. Clay Evans EX- Governor Brown of Rhode Island said last night that his chances for receiv- ing the nomination for vice president are improved. He added that he felt rather dubious as Hobart of New Jer- sey seemed to have everything, but that later developments showed that MT. Hobart is not so strong as he seem- ed to be. The Rhode Island candidate regards Henry Clay Evans as the strongest competitor. Mir, Evans is making an active canvass, and his friends are legion,
 At midnight Chauncey M. Depew re- ceiVed a telegram from Levi P. Morton that he held to his refusal to accept the vice presidential nomination under any circumstances.
 MT. Depew was asked if he would support Morton if the latter's name should be placed before the convention for the second place on the ticket. He replied that he could not insult Mir. Morton by voting against him, but he added: "rhe man who presents his name as a candidate for second place is a scoundrel!" and MT. Depew men, toned a specific kind of scoundrel
 Mr. Depew showed his Morton mes sage to MT, Lauterbach of the New York delegation and seemed to think that settled all gossip. Nevertheless some Platt men say there will be no op- position to MT. Morton except in his own state.
