FALSE RUNOR STARTED BY MACHINE.
40 TRUTH ~ THE REPORT THAT OFFERS
TOWARD CONSOLIDATION HAD BEEN
MADE BY THE COMMITTEE
r>rr~ry
OF FIFTY THREE

r,ror has been industriously circulated for
the last few days that the Republicans who have
organized the movement against the machine nad
made an offer 10 the machine element which would
bring about a consolidation OF the movement with
the machine The fact that this rumor was set
aAoa, by active representatives o. the machine
element and that there was not the slightest
knovledee OF how II started at the headquarters
~ the Committee OF Fifty-three o. the Republicans
y, Sew-York County led those who are active
IN the new organization TO believe that " was
sent out from the machine controlled by senstor
plat, and Mr. Qu.gg for the purpose OF trying 10 ma
an opening TO head OF the new movement. ono o.
the members OF the Committee o: Fi:ty-thTee last
night IN speaking OF the rumor said The hrst
hat I heard OF It was tonight but understand

they comply with the conditions OF the new con

into the Republican party OF New-lorx CITY would
be impossible There is no intention OF In any way
lessening our work in the interest OF the party
rvorv,hing IS being done carefully. considerably
and in proper order. make this statement o. my
indiviluai feelings think the rumor o, an al
legged comprornise is so transparent In Its source
and anirus that II is really not worthy OF our AZ
ientiOn as an organization.
chine Ropublcans last night showed unusual ac-
tvi,y. The Committee on ENROLMENT was en-
gagged In finishing up It's work OF preparing Il com
plete plan of enrolment for the city. There was
large number of callers at the headquarters
The rooms originally taken for the permanent
headquarters of the Committee Of Fifty-three in
the ST James Buildng. at Broadway and Twenty
sixth-st., have been found small to aecommo-
date the working force necessary as well as the
committee and the numerous visitors. and as re-
sult another largo room adjoining was engaged by
the committee yesterday
There was considerable activity in several OF the
Assembly district associations last night, and
arrangements for the coming enrolment were dis
cussed Among districts holding such conferences
were the XXIXth and IXth.
