Iroker- Former Senator Murphy went to !
Brooklyn to urge Mr. Mclaughlin to ac-
cept Mr. Stanchfed.
David B. Hill saw Mr. Mclaughlin on
Tuesday, and asked him to support Mr..
Coier. Mr.. Coler himself talked with Mr..
Mclaughlin yesterday before Mr.. Murphy's
visit.
William ]. Stone, of Missouri, Bryan's
campaign manager in the East, and Nor
man e. Mack, New Yorlls member of the
Democratic National Committee, saw Mr..
Mclaughlin late in the afternoon.
Thus the aged Kings county leader,
whom circumstances have made the arbi
ter of the Democratic situation, has heard
the arguments of both factions and of the
national managers. He has given no open
hint of what his decision will be. Both
sides were confident of victory last night

Laughiin had practically made up his mind

fight, but the Archbishop was calm. He
directed Father Connolly to telephone to
Police Headquarters, and personally dl-
rected the capture of the one who had
come to disturb the peace and the arch
episcopal residence. The man was finally
bound and the butler sat on him for fiji
teen minutes until policemen from the
East Fifty-First Street Station arrived.
Nestor said that the man had called at
the house at O'Clock last evening, and
had asked to see the Archbishop. Upon
being told that he could not see His Grace
at that hour, he asked for Father Con-
molly. The butler ushered the man mo
Inc reception and went TO notify
Father Connolly. The man went into the
tiining-room, back of the reception-room,
while the butler was ascending the Stars,
and he proceeded to wreck the furniture
