 LONDON, May 16.-In an interview at Vantage Richard Croker said that if he was in New York he would cer- tainly. vote for Robert A. Van Wyck as grand sachem of Tammany Hall and that MT. Van Wyck, in his opinion, was as fine man as ever drew breath and good mayor. MT. Croker said that Thomas L. Feitner had been his life long friend, but that he had been grand sachem many times, in fact for too long time
 Michael keenan, John Fox, John J. Scannell, John ". Keller and Randolph Guggenheimer were all his good friends, he said, but in voting for MT. Van Wyck they had acted upon their own responsibility. Mir. Croker said he saw his own friends split up, some of them voting for Mr. Van Wyck and others for Mir. Feitner.
 He expressed himself as very sorry that Lewis Nixon had resigned as chairman of the finance committee. He said he had given no orders but that he had left the matter entirely to the leaders to decide. Mir. Croker said he had cablcd Mir. Nixon last Wednesday to do just as he pleased and that If he could not control them it was not my fault.s
 Mr. crolser said he had no intention or returning 10 New York in August and that he could not say when lie would go back

CORONAT TON DATE FIXED.
BELIEF THAT EDWARD VII WILL BE
CROWNED ON AUGUST 8.
By The Associated Press.)


London, July 29-The latest and most reliable
information indicates that King Edwards doc
tors were not mistaken in fixing August as
the date upon which his majesty could be
crowned. The sinister rumors which have per-
vaded all classes for the last few days ap-
pear to have lost that semblance of proba bilty
which made even the members of the Cabinet
nervous lest another postponement of the cor
onation might be made necessary.
The apprehension that King Edward would
be unable to stand the strain of the coronation
ceremony has been greatly lessened by the an
nouncement that his majesty is now permitted TO
use his feet. and. with the aid of a stick, has
done little walking.
Another late telegram from Cowes, Isle Of
Wight. saying that nearly all the restrictions
upon the Kings diet have been withdrawn has
been welcomed evidence that the recent
ominous deductions were drawn without due al
lowance for the doctors extreme cautiousness.
While the King was testing his ability to walk
two stawart jackies stood at his side. After
this experiment. which BODIED well for his full
filling the necessary coronation functions at
Westminster Abbey. King Edward sat smoking
the deck of the royal yacht and watched
the races of the small yachts off Cowes-
Those who drew differences from the fact that
the invitations to Westminster Abbey were not
dated have had their fears dissipated by the
proclamation published in THE Gazette" to-
night fxiEg August the date for the coro-
nation. Ehich is more important than anything
yLfch might or might not have appeared upon
the cards of invitation.
According to the present arrangements. King
Edward and Queen Alexandra will leave Cowes
either on August 6 or August for Bucking
ham Palace. and will return to the royal yacht
on August Is when the entire fleet will pass
before King Edward and salute him. thus max
ing second naval review. After his return to
the yacht the King is expected to take an ex-
tended cruise to the northward, and subsequent
ly to spend some weeks at Balmoral. where
have already begun.
Sir Joseph c. Dimsdale. the Lord Mayor Of
London. expects King Edward to visit the City
OF London in the week ending october IL. when
a great luncheon will be held In the Guildhall.
which is to be followed by a royal procession
through the south of London. All these plans
may not be carried out to the letter, but their
arrangement, combined with the emphatic OPP
timism of the Kings physicians, is generally
taken as insuring, so far human foresight
can be relied upon the Kings coronation on
August o.
1t is perhaps significant, that Queen Alex
andra the Prince of Wales and other mem
bers Of the royal family were all ashore to-day
playing lawn tennis and hockey.
There is no suggestion of a second postpone
