Mr. Whitney's recent conference with

Impression to the local politicians that
he was engaged In the effort TO preserve
the regularity" of the machine by some
sort of an endorsement of the Bryan
ticket by the Democratic state conven-
tlon. One of Mr.. Whitney's friends ex-
planned his part In the conference yes
terday.
"Mr Whitney" he said. decided TO
bolt the Chicago ticket the moment 1t
was nominated. but when he returned
10 New York he did not at once rush
into print with declaration of his in
tentions. He wanted 10 talk with the
Democrats. and prevent as many as
possible from coming out in favor Of
Bryan. Since he came back from Chi
cago he has been using all his influences
against the Bryan ticket. and the con-
ference with Senator Hill and Major
Hinkley was held for the purpoSe OF
Chicago ticket and platform by the DEM
ocratic state convention. although diff
ferent significance was attributed TO 1t
by the local politicians"
The Tammany leaders were surprised
at Mr.. Whitney's bolt. John G. Sheehan
and hfS friends had been making daily
predictions since the Chicago conven-

would be found In line for the Chicago
ticket soon. and that they would bring
the state convention into line. Mr.. Whit
