dates for Mayor. Comptroller. and President Of
tho Council will DO hold on Tuesday, Sept. %. |
or Ave weeks before election day. That is tho
date which tho Republican district leaders Of
this county fixed on In caucus yesterday as the
proper ono. OF course their action is only q sug-
gestion TO the City COMMITTEES to cali the city
convention for that date, for, as President
ouigg said yesterday, the date must be fxod
formally and tho convention called by that
committee, and no would certainly consult first
with Jacob Worth Of Brooklyn, II. C.. johnson Of
Queens, and Hugh McRoberts Of Richmond,
the other members Of the committee. None the

other counties will arrange their primaries and
minor conventions accordingly.
The fixing of the convention date only n few
days in advance Of the last day for filing certih-
Gates OF nomination will not suit the Citizens
Union statesmen and other statesmen who have
been clamoring for an early Republican conven-
ton. Neither will the date suit Tammany's
leaders.

nominations are made, as many nominations for
minor places on the ticket will have to DO made
with reference to the makeup Of the city ticket,
