II Is Definitely Settled that the
Conference Tonight Will
Agree Upon His denomination
for Mayor.
GUGGENHEIMER MAY BE
SELECTED BY TAMMANY.
Lawyer Returns from Europe
and Announces that He Would
Accept-Coler Has a Talk
with Murphy.

Tammany nomination for Mayor, which
has been carried on in desultory fashion,
took sudden shape to-day upon the re-
turn from Europe on the Kronprinz
wilhelm OF Randolph Guggenhelmer.
Mr.. Guggenheimer would like to have
that nomination, and he thinks he can
win; in fact. he thinks Tammany can
win with any candidate for Mayor
whose character Is good. 1t would not
be astonishing were G~uggenhelmer the
man.
Bird s. Coler inserted himself into the
situation to-day by calling at Tammany
Hall and holding q half hours confer
enee with Charles F. Murphy. 1t was
the hrst visit Mr.. Coler has paid to
Tammany for a long time.
Hugh Mclaughlin. OF Brooklyn. would
like to see Mr.. Coler get the nomina-
tion for Mayor on the Tammany ticket.
~ 10 supposed that he sent the former
Comptroller over to see Mr.. Murphy
and talk over the prospects.
Coler Does the Talking.
The Tammany leader greeted him with
onusive cordially and their talk was
most pleasant. Mr.. Coler did most OF
the talking. When the conversation
NAa over neither Mr.. Coler nor Mr..
Murphy would say what they had been
raf<tng about
; The veteran democratic leader of
Brooklyn INSIST thai the tremendous
plurality In this city rolled up by Mr..
Coler last fall when he ran for Governor
can be repeated. The advocates of
another candidate han Coler assert
that his plurality was not due to his
popularity. but TO the u~npopularity of
the Republican ticket among the people
OF this city. To-day's events Indicate
that Coler will be a factor in the con-
test FOR the nomination.
Talk OF District Attorney Jerome as
the anti-Tammany candidate is not re-
garded seriously in we'll informed cir
Giles. Mayor Low will probably be re-
nominated. Mr.. Guggenheimer is cer-
tain that Mayor Low will again be the
candidate OF the Fuslonists. and that II
will all be settled at the conference to
be held tonight.
i don't see how they can get away
Auls l<OW. said MT.
GuSsenheimer. They will have N do

oe.tainly look for John c. Sheehan to
poit Inc nomination n go back to
1athtnany Hail. He Is too shrewd a
poiitlcian to remain outside of the regu-
Iar democratic organization under the
,lns circumstances. for next year
nave a national campaign and the
1enocracy will have to stand united.
Not Coler, lie Says.
NOW ! don't want to discuss anv Of
the gentlemen who haya been mentio,a,
as probable candidates for the Tam
many nomination. except to saw that =
