Afraid OF George and Think the Ticket weak
Croker COntent-COunty Slate.
There was some talk yesterday of the posi-
bility OF changes being made in the city ticket
nominated by Tammany Hall at the Grand Gen.
trail Palace on Thursday night. Some OF this
talk WAS INDUCED in by Tammany leaders, and
a few of them are prominent in the organiza-
ton.
The suggestion. however, that there might be
another man SUI ostituted for Justice Van Wyck
as candidate for Mayor in every instance came
from the faction in the organization which frets
under Mr.. Cookers continued domination.
The leaders who suggested the possible with
drawal OF Justice Van Wyck were never favor
able to his nomination. In fact. they were OPP
posed to the entire slate as prepared BY Mr..
. .5Ss in ra BnI .nsy f Mp. Gqt S!sn frIend. ar Ief' IN
a majority in the Executive Committee. and
what Mr.. Croker wants will be done.
1t was said yesterday that Mr.. Croker. while
Ills an.,t, ticket got; w. is sa,s satisfied s $ ,n that t.. the erso op.
|ization will come up faithfully to tho
support Of the ticket during the canvas and on
ef,he necessity Of a change ip ths ticket; ana
John c. Sheehan, the ostensible leader OF the
organizations, declared most positively that
ticket as nominated. said Yesterday:
been placed in nomination. Var. Wyck isn't
strong enough for Mayor. Coler is unknown.

that a great deal Of the disgruntlcment and dis

Ii may be said, however. that there are very
few OF these leaders who believe that such a
popular ticket will be named. In fact, they
were very glum yesterday over the outlook.
They are afraid Henry George will do them out
The disturbing feature of the situation, so far
as the county ticket is concerned, continues to
state senator Thomas F. Grady for District
The Situation seemed to be more favorable
yesterday to the nomination OF Thomas J. Dunn
for Sheriff. Negotiations are on, looking to tho
nomination OF julius hamburger for som place
Mr.. Hamburger wants to be tho candidate for
Register, and the TammaDy leaders want a rep
satisfy him with a nomination for Coroner. The
other candidates for Coroner Will be Il T. FitZ-
patrick. DIR. John T. Maggie. and Jacob Bausch.
The men who are making uD the slate also say
| that Patrick Keenan, Is likely. to be nominated
for County Clerk, William Sohmer renominated
for Register, and Augustus. w. Peters named
for President Of Manhattan borough. The lead
ers on the west side object that all these candi-
dates come from the g tst side.
Unless the slate breaks between now and next
Thursday, f. ward +. ODwyer and John Henry
Mccarthy will 20 renominated for Justices of
the City Court.
There is likely. however. to be an absolutely
new deal so far AS the nomination of Justices
for the Supreme Court Is concerned. 1t was
decided some time ago not to rcnominate JUS
tiCc Andrews.
Justice Van Brunt. however, was kept on tho
slate until yesterday. when it was said that he.
too, wouli have to make way for a new man.
The candidates talked Of for this place ycster-
day wer Corporation Counsel Francis NJ. Scott
and cX-POstmHster Charles W. DAYTON.
Mr.. Scott, it was said, would he nominated be-
cause OF tho work he has been doing for the
cause insi 9 the National Democracy. and Mr..
DAYTON because OF the person. strength which
he was shown to POSSESS through tho deuonstra'
