REPUBLIC Special.
New York, July 2S.-There is every likei-
hood now that the differences between
David Il. Hill and Richard Croker will be
patched up. Mr.. Hill came into camp to-
day. He spent three hours with Senator
Jones. chairman of the Democratic National
Committee; former Governor Stone OF Mis-
souri,. Trey Woodson of kentucky. Major
Gufsey of Pennsylvania and Chairman
Frank Campbell OF the New York State
Committee, at the Hoffman House. and at
the conclusion OF the conference II was ap-
parent that the Albany statesman had been
won over.
The situation In New York was canvassed
In detail The members of the National
Committee told Mr.. Hill that the Demo-
Gratis Of the country expected him to ge:
out and hustle They advised him. more
over, that it would be the wise thing to
do. regardless of his relations with Richard
Croker. AT the same tine Mr.. Hill was
asked to state the conditions upon which
he would consent to cooperate with Croker
and the Tanlmany outfit in the presidential
campaign.
Having learned Just how far Mr.. Hill
was prepared to go. Senator Jones and Ma
jor Guffey went to Elberon. n. j.. this

Hills Peace Terms.
Mr. Hin makes the condition that Mr..
Croker shall abandon the candidacy of Vii
liam f. Mackey Of Buffalo for Governo:
and join in nominating a strong man who
Will not be identified with Tammany Hal
and who will be able TO command indie
pendent support. Senator Jones was In
formed that Mackey was impossible
candidate for Governor. because the i'm
preston had gone forth that Tammany
had made an agreement with the delegates
from Erie County at Kansas City 10 nomi-
nate Mackey in return for Eries support
against Hill. This would be enough II was
said. to defeat Senator Mackey in advance
He would be slaughtered from one end OF
the State to the other by the friends OF
Mr.. Hill
Mr. Hill also requires that Tammany
shall aid the Democratic State Committee
financially in carrying or an aggressive
campaign all over the State. Tammany is
In power in New York City. and Is amply
supplied with funds. whereas evil times
have come To the Democrats up-country
because of the successive Republican State
Mr. Hill said he realized that Tammany
could dictate the State ticket to be NOM
mated this year. but he made 1t plain that
the country Democrats would not support a
Tammany ticket and that the nomination
Of such ticket would tend TO weaken the
national ticket.
Senator Jones will discuss the situation
frankly with Sir. Croker and do what he
can to effect a reconciliation between the
factions. He is supremacy confident of sue
cess in this undertaking and believes that
MIR. Croker will yield far enough 10 agree
TO some working arrangement with the
country leaders.
Counsel Harmony.
THE National Committee said Senator
Jones. has no wish TO interfere In the local
politics of New York. but we Will not per-

Besides discussing the situation IN New
