I LIKE A TIGER.
Croker Is Retlcent. Greatly In Demand
by Politicians.
LOWS CHANCES IMPROVING
His Letter Of Acceptance Hourly Expected
Lem Quigg and the Republican
Leaders Alert.

New York, September 8-Richard Gro
ker did not go to Richfield Springs this
morning. He remained in the city to talk
politics and go to the races ut Sheepshead
Bay.
From 7 O'Clock, when he left the Manhat-
tan H0tel, until he appeared at his office,
Ill Broadway. his movements are en-
veloped in my stery, IL is but reasonable
to assume that he went somewhere, saw
somebody and talked about something
perhaps politics.
When Mr.. Croker reached his office he
found some callers In tho first batch
came former Police Justices Patrick
Diver and Daniel F. McMahon, and
Colonel Michael G. Murphy, leader OF the
First Assembly district. All are known
in the organization as Croker MEN. Then
came former State Senator George W.
Plunktt and Vernon M. Davis, who
wants to be the Tnmmany candidate for
District Attorney. State Senator Jacob
A. Cantor, who wants to be District AT.
torney, also walked In.
SMILING MIR. CROKER,
Asked whether he had seen many politi-
clans Mr.. Croker laughed Asked whet
be w oulu attend the meeting Of the Tam.
many general committee on Friday he also
laughed And asked whether he intended
to run for Mayor of Greater New York no
again laughed. In fact, 1t is one of Mr..
Croker's habits to always laugh and to be
always good humored.
For man tout of politics" he is surely
very much in demand by politicians and If
appearances count for anything Mr.. Croker
will insist upon his own nomination.
