DAYTON, SAYS TAMMANY HALL
HIGW AIRS GUESS ~ TO FJSiON'S
CHOiCF FOR MAYOR
Nen From Fourteenth street SAID N-ster-
ds, There Was = Decp-i.sid Plot 10
spring Him ~ the Candidate -Frirods
of PhiIbii aud Low s,in Ncr> Active.


The Tammany men are taking "A good
deal of rains To keep themselves informed
a. To the proccedings Of the members Of
tho anti rammany conference these days,
and yesterday they said that they had an
explanation Of the apparant indeCisioE and
lark of purpose on III. part Of the confer~cS
that showed they we're playing deep
I political game According 10 the~e Tam
, many sources Of information there u a
plot connec'e ed with the selection Of the anti
Tamrnany candidate
II s 10 have thu Comnittee of Is
drift along and come to no decisi on that
-macks la the least Of fnality but to make
a recommendation TO the conference that
will b~ 81 character easily disregard"d
Then. say the Tsmmany men. there will
APPEAR "a large numt-'r ~ labor men who
will advocate the nomination Of the Hon
Charles " Dayton, saying that he H. the
friend Of labor and that be would poll the
entir. vote Of tho Workingrnen. Al this
point, a. the story IL told 10y the Tammsny
men. all the other elements In the fusion
are 10 fall into line and whoop things up
for Mr. DAYTON. who ~ in fact a man who
would tll tho bill that has been posted 10y
the anti -Tammany leaders
How much truth there is In this story
the Tammany men say that they do not
know. but they add that they have been
told that such IL the progr ammo by men
whom they can trust.
Mr. DAYTON - not a new nan on the fusion
lirt by any means for he has been thought
of ~ one uf the l~zl men WHO Coud l-
named To lead the fight again-t the Tam
many Admini-t "a ion ever sino" the rearCh
for a candidate b"gan. and although his
~ HIZN
IT,, this does not mean by long sight that
he has h-su dropp-d out Of consideration.
A. matter u fact. the m"ml-r- of IA"
COMMITTEES Of ~ have admitted that this
list meant little or nothing aud that At
anv tine they felt AT liberty to add 90 Il
or take from Il any names tia, they chO-e
la fact Il - kno~n that some Of the men
whose names arr kept on the lsi are ali-O-
mtely out Of III" racr ALREADY
There 10 one who would be unacceptable
10 every member Of the Roman Catholic
Church IN the city, and there is another
who could not poll votes among the working
men in the city although he thinks that h"
could. All Of the@- matters have lien
taken into consideIation by the mrinb-r-
Of the Cummttr. but they have thought
that u would not be wlse a. this tInI. To-
make anN very sweeping changes IN the
list and Therefore 49, II does no one snv
harm To have the nsfn~s remain on IA" list,
they will lie permitted tu stay ther-. where
picking flaws In the records of the other
men who are under consideration
The resolution that shut cut from con
-ideratlon tho names Of msn who dad not
live IA the county Of New York aud men
Who were RepuDlic.n In their affiliations
meant nothing II was said yesterday
When Il was adopted smother resolution

fifteen seconds II provided that no mar

tion II was PROPOSED and then II was
laughed down. even the man who pre-
sen,ed " realizing What n ridieu propo-
sition he hsd advanced That undis- |
c,.sed and unadopted resolution will have |
about a. much weight with the members |
of the conference a. the resolution draw
ing a sharp lin" agains, all Republicans
and all men who are residents of bor-
oughs other than Manhattan.
4 - matter Of fact the m-mhers OF the |
Committee 81 "a themselves have |
kept the naine Of Seth Low or their list 1
all the time, and to-day Mr.. Low has more |
friends than any 81 the oth-r 'uen ~ho--
