was folly for the friends Of Governor Black to as
sert that he had many as four hundred OF the
delegates 10 the Republican State Convention
pledged 10 vote for his denomination. Governor
Black they said. could not count upon more than
twenty-five delegates from the entire city Of New
York including Brooklyn. and 1t was probable that
the entire delegation from the city would be united
for Colonel Theodore Roosevelt before the day Of
the convention. President Quigg, Of the Republican
County Committee. has called conference OF the
district leaders for tomorrow evening at the head
quarters AT No. Madson-ave.. and there Is 10 be
an inquiry about the standing OF the 1853 delegates
from New-York County. An overwhelming ma
ority Of the delegates will want the entire deleea-
ton tn support Colonel Roosevelt. and the few del
egates who have received favors from Governor
Black and would like to support him may decide TO
Yield 10 the majority.
