Two weeks ago." said the speaker, Mt.
Golfer was iukeWarm in accepting the hlSn
honor that the people want to thrust upon
him He said his business was pressing
upon him and he had no desire to become
the candidate for Governor. 1 think it no
more than right that we should show him
the high regard we have for him.
BRAVE POLICEMAN HURT.
Policeman William Ahrens was perhaps
mortaily injured in stopping a runaway AT
Fifteenth street and Irving Place yesterday.
He is in Bellevue Hospital, and last night
lis condition was said to be critical. The
runaway was a three-horse team which
was attached to a large truck of the
New York Bottlng Company. The horses
became frightened at a tiasnlight used by
a photographer who was taking the picture
of a store in Irving Place, and dashed
down the street. Ahrens stood at the cor
ner. Seeing that the lives of many pc
destrians were in danger, he ran out in
the street, grasped the bride of one of
the horses and threw the animal to the
ground. The two other horses. however,
dragged the fallen animal on and the po
lceman was thrown under the wheels.
His legs were broken and he was injured
internally.
The horses were stopped at Fourteenth
street. Ahrens is IS years old and lives
at Ills Third Avenue.

terzed Mr. Appleton as that prince of
fakirs'' and contemptuousy refers TO Col
onel Norman S. Dyke as golf player.
Some Brooklyn Republicans, who are more
interested in the election of Mckinley and
Roosevelt and the State ticket than the
| result of q petty factional squabble, Sc
verely criticised last night the intemper-
ance of Dadys language and regarded it
as unbecomng his high place in the coun-
ellis of the party, especially on the eye of
the primaries, in which he expects to come
out victorious.
CROKER MURPHY-SIEVLTN COM "
zFvhE zaUEE BINE.
There was more activity yesterday at
| the headquarters Of the Croker-Murphy-
Shevlin combine than there was at the reg
uiar State Committee headquarters in the
| st. James Building. Mr.. Croker, Mr.. Muir
ply. Senator McCarren and others who
believe with them that Comptroller Bird
s. Golfer ought not to be nominated for
| Governor by the Democratic party We're
about the hotel all day long. Mr.. Murphy
was much interested in the statement given
out in Buffalo by observation-disclosures
William f. Sheehan on Saturday night as
to the object of his visit to that city. Mr..
Murphy read the interview and he said in
regard to it:
Il notice Mr. Sheetan says it Is well
known that he will support the Kansas
City ticket this year. Who knows it? Il
| he is really for Bryan. why doesn't some
one know it? I haven't heard Of his
| offering his services to the State Commit
| tee yet to go on the stump. Mr.. Sheehan's
| activity at this time means that he wants
| to make trouble for the Democratic party.
| The claim that Sheehan has gone to But
| falo to purify politics there is amusing.
| I do not think his removal from Buffalo
| q few years ago was so much regretted
| or that anybody was holding on his coat
| tails to keep him from leaving. We have
| no candidate for Governor here and will
! have none until the delegates are chosen.
| I am for the strongest man. and il Col.r
! were the strongest l would be for him.
! but do not believe people believe in him. y
