Now that tho anti.Tammany organizations
have agreed TO hold their city conventions on
the night of Sept. %, Tammany Leader John c.
Sheehan has concluded that tho time has come
when the Democrats can begin to talk def
nitcly about the dates for holding their nomi-
Mating conventions. He announced yesterday
that the Democratic Provisional City Commit
tee, OF which he is Chairman, has been called TO
meet at the Hoffman House this evening, when
the time for holding the convention will DO set
and action taken toward securing n suitable
place for holding It. The committee consists OF
one representative from each OF the hyo Dor
oughs, with Chairman Sheehnn and Secretary
James f. Moffott Of Brooklyn added. 1t 10 q
subcommittee Of the Democratic Conference
Committee representing the Greater New York.
That committed will meet early next week, Mr..
Sheehan said, and ratify the action OF tho Pro-
visionRl City Committee.
"Our convention will probably be called:for .
day or two later than the date the Republicans
have decided on" said Mr.. Sheehan. Tho
Republicans will hold their convention on Tues
day night, Sept. 90, and 1t is likely that the
Tammany City Convention will not be held until
Saturday night, Oct. 2, 1t was said yesterday.
The reason for this was said to be the probable
ity that the Republicans will not mako nomina-
tons on tho night their convention assemblies,
but appoint q committee TO confer with similar
committees from tho other a~nti.Tammany con.
yentions with u view to uniting on q ticket to
be nuined by. all the conventions at a later date,
perhaps on Wednesday or Thursday.
