NEW YORK POLITICS.
Senator Murphy Favors n Late State
Convention.

New York, July @--Senator Edward
Murphy. jr., told Democrats who saw
him yesterday that he was in favor of
a late State convention. In his opinion.
the Democrats should meet in Saratoga
after the Republicans have placed their
State ticket in the field.
In this, Senator Murphy opposes David
B. Hill. who believes an early convention
should be held TO force the fighting Their
divergence of opinion may precipitate a
test of strength between Senator Muir
ply and Richard Croker on one side and
Sir. Hill on the other when the State COM
mittee meets TO issue the call 1t is eS-
pected that this meeting will take place
during the first week in August. and that
Mr.. Croker will be on hand to direct the
Tammany vote.
Among those who saw Senator Muir
ply at the Hoffman House were Chair
man Elliot Danforth of the State Com
mittee. and John B. Stanchfield. both of
whom have gubernatorial booms to look
out for; William F. Sheehan. who knows
all about Erie county and the Titus boom
for governor; Anthony N. Brady. of AL
bany. who is fully informed in regard to
Judge Herrick's wishes: John F. Gaynor,
of Syracuse and James W. Hinkley. Mr..
Danforth's predecessor. There was a gen.
eral discussion of Democratic plans and
policies. but nothing was decided upon
definitely. Senator Murphy prefers to
await Mr.. Croker's return before making
plans in which he and Mr.. Croker are
jointly interested.
Senator Hill will be in the city this
evening and will no doubt confer with
some of the men who saw Senator Muir
ply yesterday.
Mr.. Hills suggestion that 1t would be
well for Democrats to get together and
fight the Metropolitan election district
bill was received with a bad grace by the
Tammany leaders. although they have
decided to act upon ii. District Attorney
Asa Bird Gardiner and other lawyers
have been considering the measure. and
they have compiled a long list of prece-
dents upon which they hope TO have the
law declared unconstitutional

out consultation with the country Demo-
Gratis. and SO far there is. no Indication of
the harmony which Mr.. 1Hilf advocated.
There has been no change In the rela-
tions between him and Senator Murphy.
and Mr.. Croker's friends ares still under
the impression that the Tammany lead
er would like to drive Mr.. Hill out of pol
iucs.
Mayor Mcguire, of Syracuse, is can
dirate for governor, and will have the
support of the OnandagA delegation He
does not expect to be nominated. and will
be quite satisfied with a complimentary
vote. His name has been suggested for
