COLER Will stay IN.
His Name VIII Be Presented In the
Democratic Convention.
FOR A TEST OF STRENGTH.
Hill Forces Admit the Supremacy of
CroIxer-Murphy Contingent. but
Want "a show of Hnnds-Spec-
uIatiOns ns to Candidates.

Saratoga, Sept 9.-The name Of Bird
5. Coler will he presented to the demo-
,ratic convention and will be kept on the
roll until a nomination is made.
This is the statement made on thc au-
thority Of David Il. Hill, Elliot Danfnrth
and Charles $. Bacon.
Richard Croker will control the organ
iZation ot the convention and probably
the selection Of 4 ticket. This state
ment isagrced in by all the delegates and
leaders present. To defeat Mr.. Coler he
may use Senator Mackey or Edward NJ,
Shepard.
The situation therefore is that the nd
herents of Senator Hill will compel Mr.
Croker TO openly defeat Mr.. Coer in the
convention. and if he succeeds in that lie
will be compelled to select the candidate
to beat Mr. Coler. 1t is asserted that it
will not he Mr.. Danforth or Mr.. Stanch-
field or Judge Earle or in fact any NJ II
connected with that section of the parry |
favorable to Mr.. HILL for that Leader has
obtained their promise not to allow their |
names to be considered while Mr.. Coler's
name is before the convention.
Elliot Danforth allows himself to he
quoted as saying: "AIr. Coler's name will
be presented to the convention and will
not he withdrawn until result Is an
nounced. | am not a candidate so long
as that is fact"

Charles s. Bacon. who was law part
ner of David H. Hill, said in the presence
of Elliot Danfolth. who did not attempt
to contradict him "Senatnr Hill did not
90 to IIerkimcr to ask Judge Earle to
run for governor hut just the contrary.
His candidate is Mr.. Golfer and theie is
more chance to nominate Mr.. Coler now
than there ever was. No self respecting
Democrat mp the state will take the nom
nation for governor. Mr. Stanchtield IS
for Coler aud will not accept Il nominal
tion. senator Mackcy is not acccptahl"
to Mr.. Mel Iauchlil, and rather than vete
for him the llngs county men will 20
over to Cocr. The situation is that Mr..
Croker is still afraid that Coler will be
nominated and he is trying to get MS q
trot out another candidate. We don't in
tend to do it. II will hc Mr.. Coler, or
else Tammany can nominate some man
Of its own.
"AIr. Croker, Mr.. Platt, Senator Muir
[ phy and Mr.. 0dcll are all crying ont
against the nomination of Coler. 1t i
, perfectly possible that Mr.. Croker con-
. trolls the organization of the convention
but when the time for nominations comes
hc may be compelled 10 do what he Id II
