yesterday in contradiciing reports that they
were ready to submit to Senator T. c. Platt q

known that the men mentioned were being con-

Citizens Union. to Tribune reporter yesterday.
names Of candidates for Controller and President
OF the Council. and there has been absolutely no
talk at all al any OF our conferences about SUBJ
mittng names to the leaders Of any political
organization. In the second place. we have not
yet got to n point where we believe any negotia-
tons are necessary 10 secure the Endorsement Of
Mr.. Low by the Republicans. In the third place.
our present intention IS to go ahead and nomi-
nate candidates for Controller and President Of
the Council before the Republican City Conven-
ton is held There has been absolutely no
thought Of a deal. and there will be none"
"Will the Citizens Union make any nominal
tions except those for the city ticket in advance
Of the Republican City Convention" Mr. Reyn.
ods was asked
Probably not" was MS reply
IF the Republican convention nominates the
city ticket of the Citizens Union. will the Citi-.
zcns Union nominate the Republican candidates
for county and borough Offices"
That would depend. perhaps. on the char
acter Of the men nominated for county and
borough Offices by the Republicans. II has been
our intention TO walt and see what men were
nominated for those Offices by the political
ganizations and our intention is to give to the
independent voters Of the city an opportunity
to vote clean ticket
"Will the Citizens Union nominate candidates
for the Assembly,"
MAY NAME FULL TICKET.
That may be necessary in order 20 have .
complete ticket. 1t may be necessary even TO
indorse a candidate for Chief Judge Of the Court
of Appeals, in order that the Citizens Union
ticket may be voted straight. The politicians
who passed the blanket ballot law made 1t hard
to run an independent ticket unless there is a
f,,n
make their cross at the top of the column The
politicians may blame themselves II the Citizens
Union is compelled 10 nominate full ticket IN
order to have fair chance OF electinS its cahdi-
dates"
John C. Clark and James W. Pryor. who were
with Mr.. Reynolds at the headquarters OF the
Citizens Union in the afternoon. also deciareu
that there had been no thought OF submitting
names of candidates TO Republican leaders. and
that the city ticket OF the Union would be COM
pleted in advance of the Republican CITY Con-
Ven;iOn.
The re ,ent talk Of Congressman Quigg about
the alleged impossib;y Of drawing Republican
support to Seth Low has made some or the ne
publican district leaders in this city restlye.
They have managed to give information 10 the
leaders OF the Citizens Union that they woud
be openly in favor Of the Endorsement OF Mr
Low by the Republican City Convention II they
dared 70 be and that the delegations from their
districts would quickly follow d lead in MI
Lows favor.
