SHEEHAN FOR WILDCAT TICKET
WANTS G.. N. Y. DENIS TO MAKE
SEPARATE NOMINATIONS.
Says the Men VINO Vote Under the Rooster
Aren't Afraid to stand Up and he
Counted-But How About That Indorse-
meift OF Messrs. Low. Grout and Fornesf

John G. Sheehan said last night: Il
shall call a meeting Of the Executive Conn
mittee of the Greater New York Democracy
for Tuesday or Wednesday night.
IF the committee takes my advice We
will nominate an independent ticket under
our emblem. 1t will be full ticket. and
only the names Of Democrats will appear
on it.
I'VE are not afraid to be counted"
Mr.. Sheehan's declaration was the OUT
come Of the fusion conference on Borough
President and Sheriff, held on Friday night
when it was decided to name Cyrus Sulz-
berger for Borough President and Ralph
Trautman for Sheriff.
Mr.. Sulzberger was backed for the noni-
nation by the Citizens Union. while Mr..
Trautman was the candidate OF tho Re-
publican members Of the conference.
Mr.. Sheehan and John T. Cronin, who
represent the Greater New York Democracy,
insisted that Jacob A. Cantor be renomtnated
for Borough President, although Mr.. Cantor
has been insisting for weeks that he must got
back to his private business and couldn't
think of running again. He went 30 far a.
to say that his name was presented without
his consent to the first meeting OF the fusion
committee.
With sulzberger and Trautmann as the
candidates in Manhattan the Sheehaniteo
get nothing. They have been told that
Comptroller Grout Is one Of them, but that
isn't the sort of recognition they want.
When the Executive Committee cast out
it's chairman, the Hon. William Hep, last
Monday night, it was because he wasn't
for Low, but for a Democrat for Mayor;
The resolution, against which Hep voted
all alone, said in part:
Resolred. That we hereby heartily sustain
and indorse the action of the fusion conferses
In the selection of Seth Low for Mayor. Ed
VIE Fornes i for president Of the Board Of Alder:
men, and firmly believe that continuation OF
good government will be guaranteed by
MIR. Sheehan, who offered that resolution
on Monday night, didn't care to say yes
terday whether the party would keep
Grout and Fornes Democrats, il it named
an Independent ticket.
According to Mr.. Sheehan and Mr.. Cronin
at the fusion talk on Friday night Tam
many Hall was anxious to get Jake Cantor
and for that reason he ought to be renom-
mated.
ATammany is after Cantor" said Mr..
Cronin. Charles F. Murphy would well
come him back with open arms
~Yes." remarked President Bruce OF the
Republican conferees, "but the open arms
is about all Mr.. Cantor would get there
The Greater New York Democracy con-
vention ia set down for Oct. 8, a week after
the Tammany convention.
Fusion leaders said last night theydidn't
see how Mr.. Sheehan could frame third
ticket after all his protestations, Just be-
cavse he hadn't got patronage to suit him.
Besides, they said, it might put the Greater
New York Democracy in a ridiculous light
H., lly
strength shown in that way.
j, B. A. Mutually who is one Of the Greater
New York Democrats, said vest erday that
500 votes had been cast under the Rooster
last year in Manhattan alone and fully
80 900 in the State for Coler.
