10y II o'clock Charles Frederick Adams
Tor president Of the council was the

Is. Parker, the regular Democratic can
didate.
Ii is said the conclusions reached are
the work of Tom l. Johnson and some
of the members of the campaign com
nIitteee.
What the effect viii be it is hard TO
forecast. but tonight it looked as if it
Would demoraliZe Mr.. Georges forces.
The United Democracy. which first
nominated George. declared tonight
through its leaders that il vas done
with the George movement. Secretary
Slower OF the Democratic Alliance will
be equally optspohen and said his or
ganization would knife George if the
ticket WAS forced on it. The Populists
seemed TO take the same view.
ii was said that Charles Fred
erick Adams has not been chosen for
president Of the council, although he
probably wiz be. 1t develops, as was
admitted BY Citizens Union leaders
and Ge0rgeltes. that there WAS q deal
on between the two. The registration,
which began today, is unusually large
for q presidential year. The total
registration il the territory comprised
in New York was 1906.
The Henry George campaign commit
tee was appointed today with Willis j.
Abbott, newspaper man. as chair
man. The committee agreed to ac-
oept the volunteered services as speaker
of Congressman Jerry Simpson Of Kan
sas and James C. Mcguire Of California,
Louis T. Post Of Cleveland and Arthur
Stevenson. the rich single taXer of Phil
adelphia. II was also decided 20 &C
eept the services Of ten members of the
Philadelphia Single Tax club.
The committee gave out the follow
ing telegram from James Sovereign,
general master workman Of The
Knights Of Labor, to Henry George,
dated Findlay, O.. oct. s:
Accept my congratulations The
lahoring people of New York should
give you $4,000 majority"
The Seth Low campaign committee
is arranging d great ratification meet
ing at Carnegie Hall on the night of
Oct. q. Efforts are still being made to
combine the Low and Tracy forces.
The prospects for a compromise do
not seem to be improving. Former
President Harrison said today:
Last year the cry in New York
seemed 10 be Smash Tammany Hall
and Organism This year 4 great
many people are shouting smash Tam
many Han, Organism and the Repub-
lican party General Tracy has made
a great personal sacrifice in accepting
this nomination. An this tank about MS
being the creature Of Mr. Plat or any
one else is foolish. Tracy is too big
man in national politics to be referred
TO in this way. He viii do what he
thinks right and for the best interests
of this city if he is elected mayor, and
l wish him success"
The eX-presdent said that he would
be absent from the Tracy ratification
meeting because he did not wish to
make 4 speech. He said:
I am not a campaigner. I am prac-
ticing law now. and desire as much as
possible to get out of active participa-
ton in politics. l know that if ! at
tended the Tracy ratification meeting
! would have 30 make speech and l
don't think. under the circumstances,
l ought to mix up in local politics."
Edward B. Talcott today offered to
bet $4,000 even that VanWyck. the
Tammany candidate for mayor. would
be elected providing Low. Tracy and
GeorES remain in the field His offer
was not accepted Another stock eX-
change broker made a bet Of 500 even
that Low viii receive more votes than
Tracy. He offered to bet more money
the same way but could find no takers.
II is reported that number of we'll
known stock brokers are gong 10 out
up $4,000 TO bet at odds at 10 to S that
the Tammany ticket win win The
same odds we're offered by a CONSOLE
dated exchange broker on Tuesday.
