When Isaac H Klein. at whose office, at No al
Broadway is the local headquarters of the third
party movement, shown a published statement
yesterday to the effect that Controller Coler was
sure to be nominated for Governor by the Third
Party men, and asked as to its correctness, he re-
piled:
Part of that is true; there is much in il that is
not. That there are many men interested in the
third party movement that are in favor of COer 5
nominal ton. in State ticket Is put in the
field is true; that he is sure TO be nominated. or
that there has been any formal agreement among
the third party movement leaders, any
formal discussion concerning his nomination, is not
true
That is a matter that cannot be settled any way
until after the Convention. to be held on Sep;
TENDER g. at Carnegie Hall. That IS the adjourned
Indianapolis Convention, and is a National affair.
Out OF that will grow the State movement. if there
is to be any. We have had great many letters
Of late in which the writers have said they favored
the third party idea and favored also placing Coler
at the head OF the State ticket. If such decision
should be reached, believe Coler would accept
the nomination and become candidate.

element in the neghborhood Of the Borough Hail
last night at $40 o'clock. The fire did only SO
damage. It was caused by the negligence of the

The Waterman OF the building the fire and
turned in an alarm -Four engines and Fire Chief
Dale responded.
In the mean time a big crowd attracted by the
clang of the fire hels gathered at the place They
peered high up and a faint glow the
edge Of the roof in Joralemon-st., between the
two corner towers. The iremen carried twelve
fire extinguishers up the many flights of stairs to
the roof and pit out the blaze. The crowd then
melted away and the trolley cars on both the
Crosstown and the Court-st lines moved on.
The building is the highest in Brooklyn. 1t is
strictly reproof. and it is probable that had the
fire continued much longer it would have died out
from lack OF something to burn.
