IN DANGER

Hugh Mclaughlin at Jamesport- Long Island'
in Mr. Crokers interest early last week Bridge
Commissioner Shea's statement. after MS Visit
TO Mr. Mclaughlin later in the week, that the
Kings County Democrats look with favor upon
Bird s Coler's candidacy for the Democratic
nomination may have aroused some anxiety
in Mr.. Crokers mind. Mr.. Shevlin and Senator
McCarren, therefore, may once more go 10
Jamesport to learn precisely what MI NC
Ta,,ebIfn said TO Mr. Shea about Controller
CoIers candidacy.
Mr. Croker is represented, however, by MS
followers TO be unconceTned about the an
nouncement that Bird S Coler is candIdate
for the Democratic nomination for Governor
being confident that the Kings County Demo-
Gratis will not support Mr. Coler. and tnat even
il they do he will be able to control the Demo
cratic State Convention and prevent MT. CoIer
nomination Nevertheless, as a precaution II
is said, some Democrats Of prominence IN tne
interior of the State will be invited to come
forward as candidates for Governor. John 3.
Stanchfeld Of Elu1ira. David B. Hills former
law partner was spoken Of highly by several
Tammany leaders to-day. Mr. Stanchfeld was
ex-Judge Augustus Van Wyck's travelling COM
panion two years ago. when the latter was
candidate for Governor. and Mr.. Van Wyck IS
said to have a high regard for hin1-a regard
that might be Of service IF the Tammany Hall
leaders should seriously coisider him as a can
didate for the Democratic domination for Gov
ernor.
Mr.. stanchfeld heretofore has said that he
does not desire the nominati6n, and his friends
have said he should not be asked to make the
sacrifice. The desire OF the Tammany Hall
leaders in mentioning Mr.. Stanchfeld is evil
dent. They wish TO detach him and his friends
in Chemung County from the ranks of Mr..
Hills supporters Mr.. Hill, it is thought, will
attempt to bring 10 Mr.. Coler's support most of
the rural Democrats. Erie County is shut out
Of Mr.. Hills grasp by the candidacy of Senator
Mackey, although there viii be Hill Democrats
in the Mackey delegation. IF Chemung County
can also be 7resJed from Mr. Hill, naturally Mr..
Croker viii be pleased.
George NJ. Palmer. Of Schsharie County being
candidate for the nomination Of Attorney-Cer-
aid to obtain that nomination, Schoharie County
is also placed by preliminary canvassers in
Taumany Halls column
Norman E Mack Of Buffalo. who was elected
as New Yorks representative on the Democratic
National Committee through Mr. Croker's aid,
and who has just been appointed a member
Of the Executive Committee Of that committee,
is expected here tomorrow. Mr.. Mack faVOrs
the nomination of Senator Mackey Of Buffalo,
for Governor, and doubtless comes here to learn
Mr. CrOkeTs present attitude toward that gen
canvass that Mr. Mack possibly wishes to COM
nunicate TO Mr.. Croker. Ex-senator David B.
Hill is expected here on Tuesday in company
with Frank Campbell. of Bath, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee; Mayor James
K Mcclure of Syracuse, chairman of the Exec
utive Committee Of the State Committee and
Elliot DanfOrth, one of Mr. HilI's candidates for
Governor It is NOT believed that ex-senator
day. 1t is stiH thought here that the Demo-
cratic State Committee Will select Saratoga as
the place in which hold the Democratic Stats
! Convention and September II as the day on
which 70 hold it.
