1t was further agreed that the Tnmmany or

nominating one OF its membership for Presi-

The committee arranged some OF the details
for the organization OF the convention and

Congressman Amos J. Cummings will be the

The results OF last nights conference at tho
Hoffman House were reached after "a great deal
OF hustling and any number OF minor confer
onces during the day. In the first place Supreme
Court Justice T. Henry Dugro is said to have noti-
fed Richard Croker that he could not accept the
Mayoralty nomination. A trusted messenger
was sent to Judge Van wyck to tell him to
hold himself in readiness to accept the Mayor
atty nomination. The Judge protested that no
did not want to run for Mayor, and would prefer
TO be nominated for Justice of the Supreme
Court. but he was informed that the Mayoralty
nomination would probably be his portion or
nothing.
Mr.. Croker went down to the Hoffman House
early in the morning and had a long talk with
Mr.. Sheehan before the latter went to Tammany
Hall. Mr.. Croker LETT the hotel smiling and
