MAN OF MYSTERY
IS LEWIS NIXON
Must Decline to Make Any
Statement of a Political
Character Until Tammany

Lewis Nixon, who does not regard
with favor the present administration
at Tammany Hall. said to-day hat the
Democratic ticket Is not in a STABLE
condition. What Mr.. Nixon means nv
this Characterization only himself
knows He would not qualify. Whether
he means that the ticket IS not on the
programme to stay; that changes will
be effected, or that It Is nos yet in
completed form the former leader OF
Tammanv would not say.
His trIef statement comprised just the
following:
II will continue to refuse to make any
statement or answer any questions Of n
political nature until the ticket has real.
ly been placed upon n stable basil. l

The lntimatlon contained. politicians
say. is that Mr.. Nixon will have some.
thing OF Importance TO say when the
tickets are all prepared and ready FOR
the ballot. The nature of Mr.. NiNon's
coming statement is purely speculative,
1t Is expected that Mr.. Nixon will ex.
press HIS dissatisfaction over the tao
tics pursued by Tammany in securing
the nomination of Messrs. Grout and
F'ornes by the Democratic convention,
and thus coincide with the views OF
BOSS Mclaughlin.

regarding the so-called priority claims
against Venezuela has been mlsinter-
preted. thus increasing complications
1t is explained that the allies do not
insist that they shall be regarded as
separate, to be dealt with direct be-
tween themselves and Venezuela. I'm
til specific arrangement Is made for
the satisfaction of their claims they
are determined to continue the block
ade.
1t Is further stated that the allies do
not bind Venezuela regarding the sum
to be periodically paid or the time in
which the debt must be paid off.
1t Is added that there is renewed ev-
idence that Venezuela is endeavoring
to complicate matters by playing on
the interests of one power against an
other. and that such a course must be
frustrated In the interest OF all the
creditors. They consequently hope
that Venezuela's attempts In this d.
rection will not receive support or

VERY BUSY

islature neld business session this
morning and all members worked dill
gently along lines to facilitate bust
ness.
A joint resolution was adopted in
the senate providing that after
March Goth the senate should consid-
er nothing but house bills, while the
house must consider nothing but
senate bills. The resolution is likely
to be adopted by the house. Strict
observance of its terms would mean
that the assembly will be ready to ad-
: journ April 6. the time limit of the
session.
1t is generally believed that the
evils of closing days would be elimi-
mated as result of this resolution.
The house spent most of the morn
ing considering the medical supply
bill on third reading. while in the sen
ate discussion of bills under the head
of general orders on second reading
occurred.
