At THE MEETINGS TONIGHT THE ADMIN1sTRA-
rIoN MEN EXPECT TO ELECT REPRESENT

DISTRICTS IN THE COUNTY. But
THE WORTH MEN CONTINUE


TO MAKE CLAIMS.
The administration Republicans yesterday as
serted that at the conventions to-hisht t"e'

the Congress District conventions
II is a curious thing that both sizes oec'a'e
for Morton for President; at least, on the first
ballot and, perhaps. on the second. let lhs
sentiment is growing that logically, In the
course Of developments at ST. Louis, Western
man will have to be voted for. Mckinley ALL
SON. and perhaps Harrison. are, therefore, con-
sidered for second choice. even although II -
asserted now that the Kings County delegation
of ten will be held together solidly for Morton
MKINLEYs CHANCES BEST
McKinley's chances seem to be best. provided
Morton gets only a complimentary vote. 1t Is
in the air that Platt would favor Allison, ana
that the head Of the State machine Is secretly
"laving pipes' for the man from Iowa. Harri-
son Is hardly consi Tered seriously, although
Commissioner Willis and few others are nat
uray his friends. The tide Of favor rising Tor
Mckinley a present 1t would seem, can naruiy
he stemmed and undoubtedly Republicans OK
Kings recognize this fact. whatever their ideas
as to State loyalty to Morton may be.
The Congress District conventions to-nighs
have been advertised to be held at the following
places: Id District, in the Atheneum' at AT

THE SUPPOSED SLATE.
The present stating of probable delegates 70
the National Convention from the Congress ois'
trlcts IS said to be about as follows;
Id District-Wils, Roberts and Phillips.
lid District-Woodruf and Atterbury. and Il
is said that Reynolds may be considered II he

WITH Dissatisfaction and Hartman. and pos
sibly Kiend-
With Dstrict-Wurster and kaltenDach.
VIth-Tischer and Schleuter.
There are rumors Of various deals ana
combinations" in waris. and last night con-
ferences were held in most Of them. Worth men
say that Palmer and Saffen are sure things,
and have been talking about Alderman Ciark:
Clark however. knows he cannot win without
ing after his fences yesterday afternoon
WORTH MEN STILL. MAKING CLAIMS
The action Of Ernest J. Kaltenbach, with his
supporters all OF the Twenty eighth Ward. In
going from the Worth camp into that Of the
administration. caused CONSERVATION among
the Worth men, who are still saying, however.
that they can hold the WITH, With and With dis
tricts.
Mr. Kaltenbach saws he has acted for the best
interest of his party, and says that the report
that he was offered place under the admins
trati0n is false In the With District. both sides
say they have won, but the Wurster-Willls men
are figuring on safe majority. The friends OF
ex-COngressman William c. Wallace. OF the
Twentieth Ward say that he will probably oe
sent as delegate with Mr.. Willis from the 1Id
District. Jacob Bremen, OF the Tenth ward
chairman Of the Executive Committee, Is also
mentioned National delegate.
II IS possible that there may be lively times In
some of the Congress District conventions to-
night over the question OF the alleged rights or
the State Committeeman 10 preside as temporary
chairman In the WITH With and With DISTRICTS
Chairman Roberts. Of the General Committee,
acting by precedent. and with authority from
Mt Carter Ma tonal Chairman. and with the adj
vice OF General Tracy. has appointed W. II. Fri.
day in the WITH District William Kramer in the
With and Edward II. Schleuter in the With.
PROSPECT FOR cONTEsTING DELEGATIONS.
Chairman Hackett Of the Republican state
Committee has informed ". w. Goodrich. OF the
IIId District. that the State Committeeman have
the right 20 call the Congress District conven"
lions to order. and to preside temporarily This
is I'm direct conflict with Chairman Carriers in-
depreciation and shows the lengths 10 wnlcn inc
ma chine men will go.
Present prospects seem tc indicate tnat possibly
there may be two conventions in eacn or the
WITH. With and With districts. This would mean
double sets OF delegates tc be considered by the
National Convention.
