The Mayor took lunch yesterday with
CIV Chamberlain +. X L. Gould, who is
counted among his closest personal friends
and one with whom MIR. Low often takes

Then he Mayor is receptive candi-

Not in the sense that the phrase is gen
orally used " Disseminated Dr. Gould
will Mr. Low only run if he thinks he
can be reelected"
i do not think Mayor Low looks at the
situation or will look at it in that selfish
light, said DR.. Gould. Il am disposed to
regard him in more patriotic view"
DR.. Gould also remarked that he thought
the situation was much the same as il was
in 1901, which would indicate that DR. Gould
expected that Mr.. Low would be asked to
run and would accept
II was suggested to Dr. Gould that some
Of the conferees might not enter the meet
ing with an open mind as to what might be
the best course for the anti-Tammany
Of Mayor Low might operate on their judg-
ment.
Il do not think So" said DR. Could Il
do not feel that the meeting will be under
any influence Of that sort. At this moment
the only conferees l can think of who are
appointees Of the Mayor are William Hep

Then he went on to say that he saw a
good chance for another victory for fusion

nominated Is the Greater New York Demoo-
racy, which, by the interviews of its leaders
and the formal resolution of its Executive
Committee, has asked for the nomination of
an independent Democrat. There has been
much speculation among politicians as

leaders have been in taking this position
John c. Sheehsn, who has several times
felt constrained to deny that he was going
over to Tammany; Jacob A. Cantor, who's
