THEY WANT sH INSTEAD 0FLAND,
The View York Heirs OF the Late Senator stan
Iurd MAY Go TO Inv.

San FRANCISCO. Sept. 20.-Judge Coffey to-
day postponed for one week the hearing Of the
petition for.the partial distribution Of the estate
Of Senator Stanford. Charles Z. Lydecker Of
New York Is the most prominent lawyer repre-
senting the Eastern heirs, and 1t is hoped a coIu-
promise may be made which will obviate the
necessity OF litigation by the New York heirs.
1t was provided in the will OF Senator stan
ford that 100000 was to be given to certain
legatees either in money or in land of equivalent
value. as Mrs. Stanford might prefer. she has
selected six children OF Charles stanford. de-
ceased, and Leland Stanford Lathrop OF Cali
fornia. a child Of her own brother. as legatees to
whom she will give land instead OF money.
The other lcgacies will be paid ia cash.
THIS does not please the New lork heirs at
all. The lands offered TO them are country
lands in California, and If Mr.. stanford clings
% her determination the courts will have to pass
upon the construction Of the disputed clause in
the will. The New York heirs declare that
while the lands Of the Stanford estate may be
valuable they do notrbring in the amount OF
revenue that could be gained from the cash. and
they cannot be sold for anything like their real
value. Hence they decline to receive their
legaCies in land.

ITHACA, Sept. 2O.-The Republican primaries
in the county Of ~Tompkins were held on Sat
urday, and the returns received In this city to-
day indicate that on Saturday next Assembly.
man Fred f. Bates will be permanently re-
tired from politics. Bates was one of the seven
organization. from which he had received
many favors in the past. by voting for Choate
for United States Senator. With this vote
died not only his influence in the Assembly,
where he had served two terms, for not a bill
that he had anything TO do with last session
succeeded in passing the Assembly, but also by
this action he made himself obnoxious to the
great majority of Republicans In this county,
a. they are for Thomas G. Plat first. last, and
all the time.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Bates started on a
campaign to vindicate his action last winter.
II he could secure a denomination this would,
In his mind, he a vindication. Out OF the eighty
delegates from tho country districts-Mr
Bates will have in the convention just fifteen,
and the larger portion OF these will be from his
own town. Ithaca has not as yet held pri-
nlaries, but will on Wednesday night, and MIR.
Bates Is in the city to-day looking after his
fences. He has approached nearly every one Of
the candidates for county offices with a
proposition Tor a deal as regards tho delegates,
but in. the main tho marble heart has been
given him: He will probably secure a few dele
gates, In the city. but In the convention, which
will be held on Saturday next. his fall will
be sure and heavy. His successor in the AS.
emily will be Supervisor Theron Johnson of
tho town of Dryden, and Mr.. Bates will in the
future have to content himself with: political
association with tho Goo. Coos, with whom he
trained In Albany last winter.

Raust Say One WORD TOR Bryan.

Must Say One WORD Tor Bryan.
John C.. Sheehan was at Tammany Hall yes
terday and had talks with most of tho district

He impressed all with the necessity of sending
as delegates to the City Convention men who
can DO thoroughly depended on to do the bidding
OF the organization. There arc to be ten dele
gates and ten alternates from each Assembly
district, and Mr.. Sheehan let 1t be understood
that no did not want any one sent to tho City
Convention who might disturb the harmony of
the proceedings by Offering Chicago platform
resolutions or making Bryan speeches. He was
assured that no difficulty OF that sort need DO
anticipated. Every district leadef will make
up a ticket to suit himself. No one who is sus-
pected of having n design to spring national
issues will bo put on that ticket.
Opposition to I o will OF the leaders Is not
tolerated In Tammany Hall. When a man has
the courage to oppose his leader he 10 promptly
banded out of tho organization for the honor,
preservation, and integrity of the organization, u
as II Is put In the Tammany bylaws.
Having satisfied himself that the Bryanites
will be properly muEzled, Mr.. Sheehan began 10
receive delegations which called TO urge the
nomination Of particular candidates for office.
Ono OF these represented the Slovack voters OF
the city. They wanted William Sohmer nomi-
mated for Mayor. Another delegation. composed
OF Poles and Bohomians. urged the nomination
of District Leader Thomas J. Dunn for Sherin.
Both were jollied In approved style.
