MR.. LOWS LETTER TARRIES.
WIITING OTIS MAY NOT GET IT
Until MONDAY.

Whenever He's Ready the sub-Committee on
Nominations Will ne Happy to Name Men
for Comptroller and FOR President or tho
C~ounciI-sample from the Bogus Petition.
The Gifts said last night that Seth Lows let

tion had not como. Chairman Reynolds said 1t
would not arrive until tomorrow. and might
not come until Monday. In the meantime all
work waits for the letter, and practically tho
whole activity Of the Cts is limited TO tho
spellbinders. who are holding outdoor meot-
ings, with froe beer at some Of Thorn to hold the
crowd. Committeeman Clark was asked last
night whether the FREQ beer business was re-
Farded as a good investment.
"oh, 1 really have nothing to say about 1t"
he said, ~hurrying away. THAT Is outside OF
the business of the Executive Committee. We
leave all such details to the district leaders"
Tho Executive met last evening
at 80 East Twenty-third street. Eleven OF the
twenty were there for an hour and n half. When
they came out all they had to report was the
substitution of w. Harris Roomo for c. G.
Nadal as Chairman of the Committee on Speak
ers and Meetings and the passage of o resoiu-
ton empowering tho joint committee from the
borouRhs TO organize and push the work In tho

Committed will bs ready TO act. 1t is most
probable that nothing viii be done until Mr.;
Low returns and gives the Cts the benefit Of
his advice. AS the Executive Committee was
empowered to nominate, only a candidate for
Mayor it can't act on the other nominations.
Consequently the names. nut up by the sub.
committee will go to the borough orgnniza-
lions to act on. then back to the tee on
OrpAniZatiOn. which Will authorize the FXUCu-
tive ommittc to nominate. 1t was sug-
sested to Mr.Reynolds last evening that perhaps
names put up by the subcommittee on noinina-
