bur there has been d suggestion made rs 10 my
possible nomination. and ii has placed me ~
quandary. | don't want to run for office. hut
/ would like 10 strike a blow at Crokerism. If
thought ! could strike a really effective blow al
CTokersm hy accepting such a nomination, !
might accent IT, If Nj Fairchild would With

and Henry Geo:ge tickets. the way would he
clear hut understand that f.. Fairchnd Will
not withdraw"
CHANGES IN MI DAYTON's MIND.
iIr Day;on's INDIGESTION since his name has
been connected with the George nomination FOR
Controller caused much common. among polit-
clans Of all shades. The frs; day ho was
ported as recoiling from accepting it q; doesn't
to me that I can think Of running for the
same Office for which my dear. personal friend
Ashbal p. Fitch has been nominated and is
already In the field" was his excuse for delay
when the subject first brought e. hin
The next day Mr.. Dayton had doubts whether
he was the right to smash the slate OF the
"tyrant Croker" Fitch receded from Mr. Day
tons perspective and the "tyrant Croker" came
prominently into his view. II Nr. Dayton could
smash Croker most completely by running he
would rum otherwise ne would prefer - do his
smashing as a private citizen.
Last night Mr. Dayton had forgotten all about
his Discrimination 10 take the field against his
dear personal friend, Comptroller Fitch and
his burning purpose to smash the 't"rant Crok-
err" He was ready TO accept the George nom
nation IL Tom L. johnson and his coadjutors
OF the Democracy of Thomas Jefferson could
arrange such a deal with the Citizens Union
people as would place him on the two tickets.
This would involve the refusal Of Charles :.
Fairchild the Citizens Union candidate to con
tinue as such nominee This pronounced at
the Citizens Union headquarters last night as
exceedingly improbable. Besides the la" forbid
ding substitutions like that OF Mr. Dayton Tor
Mr. Fairchd pointed at az making inc
change Impossible, so far as the printing Of Mr..
Dayton's name on the official ballots Of both
the George Democracy and the Citizens Union
was concerned. The supporters Of the Union
might be appealed TO cast their votes for Mr.
Dayton II he should receive the Unions IN
dorsemcnt after Mr. Fairch:ld's predicted with
drawal. but they said that this was far
the proposed Johnson Dayton-Citizens Union
arrangement could be carried into effect. At
various headquarters news purportng to be
genuine was received last night to the effect
that Mr. Dayton had decided not TO be a candi-
date for Controller. Nevertheless. after mid
night and still later. it was rumored that Mr..
Dayton had concluded to run anyway.
IL is not improbable that II Mr. DAYTON con
sents TO run he will be placed also on the
United Democracy ticket Mr. Dayton" said
James O'Brlen. yesterday. would be entirely
acceptable to US and would considerably aid our
efforts TO elect Henry George II John q. BOYD.
our candidate for Controller, would agree to
withdraw the United Democracy would un-
doubtedly offer the place to Nj Dayton

The certificates placing Henry George in NOM
nation for Mayor. Colonel George +. Warins'
tr. for Controller and jerome O'Neill for Presi-
dent Of the Council were placed on file at the
Election Bureau yesterday morning Tom J..
Johnson dashed UP to Police Headquarters In
a hanson at o'clock and handed In the certin-
Gates hearing the signatures of :, 81 petitioners.
That is amply sufficient. He also 1led certlh-
Gates nominating the county ana judiciary
nominees Of the Citizens Union. The nomlnd-
lions are made by the Democracy OF Thomas
Jefferson and the emblem is rooster. MI.
Jobnson was asked whether Colonel Waring had
accepted and he replied. He Is nominated. ana
the certificate is fled Whether he Will accep,
or not IS a matter for the future TO decide
