GOSSIP FROM NEW YORK
BY JOHN mARrHoL

New York. May 9.5It is pretty well understood that the candidate of the re- publican party in the mayoralty contest will be Seth Low. He wants It and wants 1t badly. He Is so impressed with his own record and his own fitness for the of- flee that there Is no doubt at all about his winning out Politicians wink. These astute gentlemen say nothing, but they do "a great deal of thinking" Having peculiar facilities for knowing what they think. l will take the liberty of placing their thoughts into words They believe a straight out and out republican candi- date would not draw the independent vote, and that Low. who is a creature of fusion with a tendency toward the republican party, would. Furthermore, they have serious doubts about fusion winning a all. The great victory plac- ed in figures means a small plurality at the best, and the TammaEy organization was in evil odor at the time. Better sac rifice the complacent and confident Low than a nobler Roman.
 In Tammany a different feeling exists. The genial Murphy, who is proclaimed
 
 during his pleasure, Is full of hope. He will nominate the man to carry the flag of the braves. The aged but powerful chief of Kings will consent, provided he names the comptroller Who will AIur- phy name? He personally prefers the plastic Mcclellan. If Tim Sullivan says Mcclellan. Seth Low may vim, Tim win not assume the responsibility of a de- feat. The braves are greatly reduced by nf f4anf, petites are keen Should Murphy, for reasons of prudence abandon the youth ful congressman, the, son of General Me Clellan. which he doubtless will be com pelled to do. business man will be hunt ed for What is the matter with Lewis Nixon? A staunch democrat, man we'll esteemed in the community and above re- proaeh. Nixon would make an ideal can didate for the mayoralty. Or James w. Gerald, the brilliant lawyer, who sits in the counsels of Tammany; or Randolph Guggenheimer, late president of the city council?
 Metropolitan hotels have been put to new use. Built, of course, for rich men, and for those who would like to be thought rich, the millionaire, like the baron of old, has converted it into a feudal castle. During the last two or lnree weeks Wall street SpeculatOr, whose dash and daring are world-famed, found himself in that uncomfortable po- sition in which many men, no matter how they plan, will sometimes find them selves. Process servers were after him. They were not the mean vulgar common place servitors of the ordinary courts of justice, but the agents of a government commission. The commission desired his appearance before it. He desired to stay away The speculator had well guarded offices in Wall street, where no man
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-05-11

might reach him without card. He has a splendid home in the suburbs, to and from which morning and evening, he Is borne in q special railroad car from the city to the very gates of the park sur rounding 1t, and inside which no one can enter without his special order. Thus surrounded, one would suppose that he was immune. Yet he betook himself to one of the great hotels. There he found security. In, of course, a sumptuous suite of apartments, he secured absolute protection, and a' the same time placed himself in direct communication with the Wall street servants who did his bidding. The great hotel became for him, as 1t were, a feudal castle. The porteullis Of 1t was the desk, with the suave, bedia- monded gentleman behind It. To all in- quiries in regard to him there was the soft answer: We do not know; Don't know" Send a message for him." We know him." and "As you ike
 The potentate of finance turned the great hotel into a fort. If anyone de- sires to know whether this Is fact or fc- ton, let them ask James R. Keene,
 The country has got into the habit of saying that there are millions and thou- sands of millions in Wall street. But neither the banks along that auriferous street, nor the heads of them own those millions The vast percentage of them belongs, subject to call, to the whole country. Wall street is simply barome- ter. It is the gauge whether the coun- try is prosperous or not. That it Is pros- porous. Is shown by the enormous amounts it has in charge. But they all await the orders of their owners, in the west. in the south, in the east and the north, their owners on the farm and in the factory in the mines and in the mill. Wall street is a servant, but not mas ter, whatever it, itself may think about it. In a word Wall street is not a factor, but trader, in the prosperity of the country; and at the present time dullness reigns supreme.
 It may be set down as assured that Sir Thomas Liptou is not going to lift the cup this year with his Shamrock III" The Reliance in the exhibition she has thus far made of her sailing qualities Is as good a boat as ever cut the waves. It is safe to bet that she will show her stern to her competitor; that in forty years and more of struggle, the flag will be at the front The cup will stay in it's historic home, the New York Yacht club As a work of art we could well afford to part with It, but such as 1t Is. we are going to keep 1t.
 Under the new excise law, framed to make us all good, several hundred sa- looms have gone out of existence. From a moral point of view I do not see where the reform comes in. The man who wants to drink. will drink, and go where he can get t. A few hundred sa- looms the less do not diminish the drink ing capacity of their patrons. Is 1t not standardization of the saloon business? However that may be- the less of them the better.

 Bobby Gilks in Lurch.

Little Rock, May 10-Frank Hulseman. left fielder of the Shreveport team, which is at present in Little Rock. disappeared mysteriously yesterday morning, and as vet no trace of him has been found. Manager Bob Gilks is of the impression that Hulseman has jumped to Portland, Ore, the Pacific Coast league team, but that he will eventually wind up with Spokane. of the Pacific National league. of which club George M. Reed, formerly manager of Shreveport, is at the head
 It is well known that Reed has been negotiating quietly with Hulseman for some time Hulseman led the Southern league in the batting season of 1901, and ast year finished third, with q percent ,ge of .361 His position in left ield will ,e filled by Manager Gilks in person.

Montgomery, May 1O.-(Speeial.)-M somery took the game from Atlanta to- day after it had been seemingly lost. In the eighth inning, with the score to in favor of the visitors, Powell put youngster named Vittur in the box and his wildness turned the game into farce. The first four men up were given free passes. and these, followed by a sin gle. a wild pitch, an additional free pass and a double, netted five runs. The game was a batting contest and served to tat- ten the fielding averages of the boys who play in the far corners of the lot.
 Some sensational fielding kept the score down, Lauzon and Gruebner doing some star work Umpire Mace was again unsatisfactory today, but his rankness was about as bad on one side as the other Flannagin, the new man signed by Montgomery, knocked the ball over the fence in the fourth, which was good for two scores.
 Run Getting Begins.
 The run-getting was begun in the fourth when Atlanta got one man across the plate on singles by Stafford and Ken nedy and wild pitch by Ely. Two more were added in the fifth. Bennett was hit by pitcher and scored on Staff ford's double, and the latter scored on Koehler's single Peas added another run in the sixth on a single, Gruebner's saeri- flee and wild pitch.
 Singles by Gruebner, Kennedy and Winters and double by Bennett added two more runs in the eighth
 Montgomery scored two runs in the fourth, Moesworth reaching first on an error and scoring on Flannagin's home run. A single by Molesworth and a double by Whistler were good for an- other run in the sixth, and a base on balls, a sacrifice and an error added an other in the seventh. Vittur went in to finish the game in the eighth, and he was so wild that he made the spectators tired. Five bases on balls, wild pitch, a single and a double netter five runs and the game. Mace called the game to permit Montgomery to catch the train for Nashville over the protest of Powell and President Kayanaugh will have to decide the contest. Mace says the consti- tuition requires him to call the game one hour before the time for the departure of train on which the team expects to travel, and this is what he did.

ATLANTA COMES TODAY.
This Series Will Determine Which
 Team Has Place in First Division.

With Alb Powells aggregation few umn the Coal Barons open up series with Atlanta today This series will prol ably decide for several days to come which club is entitled to a position in the first division. Up to date Birmingham has won five games and lost six. whil. Atlanta has won six and lost seven.
 Keenan, Denver, or Campbell will pitch for Birmingham, and it is probable that Frank Wilson or Gus Weyhing will go in the box for Atlanta. After these three games the Coal Barons go to NashJ vile for three games and then return for twelve, meeting all of the westerr teams.
