City Works Commissioner Willis has invited

has received his invitation. but as they were

Commissioner Willis denies that he Is attempt

cannot conceal the fact that he would be an
enthusiastic Harrison man II the ex-President
had not withdrawn but he has repeatedly said
since he was made delegate that he would sup
port Morton on the first ballot. and that he did
not know what he would do after that.
A Mckinley man said yesterday that he did
not believe, in view Of the overwhelming Nc
Kinley sentiment in Brooklyn. the common de-
sire Of many voters that Governor Morton should
receive a complimentary vote on one ballot, and
the generally accepted fnalty OF General Harri-
sons letter Of declination, that Commissioner
Willis would find it worth while 10 seek 10 culli-

also said that if he had such intentions, he
would not begin his campaign In meeting OF
the ST. Louis delegates. to which he had invited
leaders of the anti-administraticn faction.

GREGATIONs TALKED OF.

Two churches, the North Reformed in Clermont-
ave, near Myrtle. and the Cumberland-st. Pres
byterian also near Myrtle-aSe., are considering
the plan OF uniting. These churches, though Of
different denominations. are so nearly alike In
creeds that d union is perfectly feasible. The Rev.
Dr. T. c. McCleand is pastor Of the former and the
Rev George n. Makely of the latter. DIR. McCel-
land says the project had been Informally talked
over by the pastors. and that in pursuance OF an
agreement made that time he had appointed a
committee consisting of Walter Lehman Charles
H. Mack and DR.. c. lie Grand Kerr. to confer with
a committee from the other church to perfect q
plan of consolidation.
The Reformed Church owns its property. but the
other church worshps In building owned by the
Lafayette-ave Presbyterian church DR.. McClel-
land said no legal steps were necessary to perfect
the union. The Cumberland-st. society having
no property all that would necessary was for the
members TO bring their letters to his church. The
latter has taken action In the matter
