TRY ANOTHER VAN WICK.
A New suggestion for the Mayoralty Urged
on Leader Murphy.

Leader Charles F. Murphy of Tammany
returned 10 town from Saratoga yester-
day afternoon and told his friends that
Jarues Shevin, who, with Senator Patrick
Henry McCarren, represents the Demo-
cratic wishes of Hugh Mclaughlin, will
be in town for good within few days.
Mr.. Murphy did not care to talk very
much about the situation Representa-
tive George B Mcclellan, who has been
highly spoken of by MIR. Murphy as can
didate Tor Mayor, will be home within
a week 1t was known last night, how
ever, that Mr. Murphy heard great deal
while in Saratoga about the availability
of Augustus Van Wyck of Brooklyn as a
possible candidate for Mayor.
1t has been understood all along that
Manhattan would furnish the Democratic
candidate for Mayor and there is no reason
vet, so it was averred last night, to change
this opinion, even though Mr., Murphy had
heard a great deal about the capabilities
Of Augustus Van Wyck.
1t Las been pointed out to Mr.. Murphy
tina. Mr.. Van Wyck. when he resigned as a
Supreme Court Justice in 1893 to take the
nominate ion for Governor, made sacrifice
to his PARTY which calls for some recon-
pense should Mr.. Van Wyck desire such
recompense.
In that fight Mr.. Van Wyck was beaten by
Theodore Roosevelt 10y 1900 votes and re-
turred to his law practice. MIR. Murphy
heard sit o about the popularity of MIR. Van
WICK in Brooklyn, special mention being
made Of Mr.. Van Wyck's vote there. when
he carried Kings county over Roosevelt by
lS.3S2 plurality.
1t was pointed out to Mr.. Murphy, more
over,that in the Gubernatorial fight between
Stanchtield and Odell in 1900 Stanchtield
| only beat Odel in Kings county by 1855
plurality. 1t was also recalled that il
1902 Coler beat Odell in Kings by 20,5l4.
Mr. Murphy heard other things about
Augustus Van Wyck-how he voted at
Kansas City in 1900 as New fork's member
| Of the Committee on Resolutions against
| Mr.. Bryans demand for specific declara-
| ton in favor of free silver and how Mr.
Van Wyck engineered the fight, with other
| Democrats, so that Mr.. Bryan only won in
| the Committee on Resolutions by vote of
| 20 to "a, the deciding vote being cast by
Prince David of Hawaii, a Territory which
| had no vote in the electoral college.
It is we'll known that Mr.. Murphy is most
partial to the nomination Of George B.
Mcclellan for Mayor, but 1t is believed
that he is also aware of the opposition to
Mr.. Mcclellan, and that a good many
Brooklyn Democrats of influence believe
that the best way out of the muddle is to
nominate Augustus Van Wyck. At least
that is the latest current suggestion, and it
is printed for what it is worth.

NIXON WOULD SUIT MLAIGHLIN,
Under Certain Conditions Mclaughlin
Anxious About His Bailiwick.

Hugh Mclaughlin, the ruler of the
Brooklyn Democracy. will in n few days
have a conference with the district leaders
to consider the political situation in general
and the work of the local ticket in par
ticular. The veteran leader is especially
anxious to secure Democratic victory in
his own political bailiwick this year and
has notified his ieutenants that the utmost
care must be taken in the selection of all
the local candidates.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has not yet entirely
despaired Of inducing the Iaminany mag
mates TO nominate n Brooklyn man for
Mayor, and he continues 10 carry his pro
lsge. Bird 5 Coler, under his wing in ex pee.
latlon Of such a contingency Yesterday
Mr.. Mclaughlin had this to say in reference
TO the recent projection Of Lewis Nixon
On the political horizon:

STATE COMMITTEE MEETS TO-DAY
May Take Up littaner.wsed seandai-TaiA
or Canal Resolution.

Of Canal Resolution"
The Republican State Committee IL to
assemble at the Fifth Avenue Hotel az o'sO
o'clock this morning to nominate the hon
Denis O'Bren, Democrat. OF watertowh
TO another term as Associate Judge OF the
Court OF Appeals. The Democratic state
Committee at Albany nominated Judge
O'Brien ON Saturday. 1t has not been
unusual, In of years" for the Democrats
and the Republicans to get together on
nomination Of this kind, especially when
the two parties. as represented by pohti-
clans, LAWYERS and statesmen, unite on the
capabilities and character Of such man as
Judge O'Brien.
1t was not thought last night that the
Republican State Committee will have any
further business to-day, and yet there were
suggestions to the effect that some Repuo-
leans especially those favorable to Gov.
Odell and his administration, believed That
the committee should adopt a resolution
sustaining the Governors advocacy OF the
SlOl .OOO. 600 canal amendment, to be voted
for this fall
II utter candor is worth anything at
time like this, it should be said that those
who suggested that the committee might
adopt a resolution Of this kind, wMked
the left eye and thought it would be good
time to make mischief The Governor
has recently made some more or less pointed
speeches favoring the proposed SlOl,Voo 700
canal appropriation. but it was the opinion
of Republicans at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
last night that any proposition TO introduce
n resolution on the canal subject this morn
ing will be frowned upon.
Some Republicans said the State com
mittee should also take up the Assembly
middle in the Fulton and Ham on dis
trict Frank Wood has been nominated by
Representative Littauer's friends. The
Republicans who deprecate the methods
used to nominate Mr.. Wood have renoml-
mated Clarence w. Smith OF Johnston
by petition.
A scandal has been precipitated IN the
district by the nomination OF Mr. WOOD,
and columns upon columns have been
printed in the Republican newspap ers OF
Gloversville and Johnstown telling how MIR.
Woods nomination was brought about.
The followers of Assemhlyman Smith have
issued a document to the voters of Fulton
and Hamilton. proclaiming that MIR. Wood
was nominated by methods which should
not be recognized by substantial and con-
sistent Republicans, and calling upon the
voters of the district to reflect Mr.. Smith.
The Wood nomination was brought about
by Representative Littauer who now IN
sists upon a denomination to Congress for
the Twenty-second district. 1t was the
opinion of Republicans last night that
Representative Littauer, in demanding
denomination for Congress, and in advocat-
ing tho Wood nomination for Assembly,
is having lot Of fun with himself.

treated.
Anna Hallbert was the Waldorf Astoria
maid who was robbed. She has lost her
lob. Last night she called at the Tender
lon station and had talk with the plain
clothes men, who told her to walk out ahead
of them. She went up Broadway and at
the Metropolitan Opera House stepped
up to a man and spoke to him. He started
to run and the detectives pounced on him.
At the station he said he was Harry Will
son and lived in Forty-eighth street. In
one of his pockets was four-ounce bottle
of choral and in another a .22-calibre re-
volver, In his hat was pawnticket for
a diamond ring, on which he had got sl8O.
Letters in his pockets were addressed to
ID. J. Kilbey. Ala jackson Building, Chicago,
and to the same name at the Hotel Metro
pole. The police learned that he had "a
room in that hotel, where he lived with a
woman whom he brought here from the
Saratoga racetrack
The other two women who say they were
robbed are Dora Ravens, who was robbed
Of a sl3O-damond ring and $50 in cash and
Bessie Ward. who was robbed of pair of

SIS in cash
The police went to the prisoners room
at the Metropole and found there a young

was booknaker. She was arrested ~ a
suspicious person.
They found III his room several pawn

EIGHT BODIES FLOAT ASHORE.
PROBABLY FROM SOME VESSEL
WRECKED IN THE SOUND.



PORT JEFFERSON. l.. L.. Sept. THE
bodies Of eight men, apparently those OF
sailors from some boat lost in the Sound,
have foated ashore OH the Long Island
coast between this place and Wading River,
since Saturday. Two Of the bodies are
those Of negroes. The first one was re-
covered on Saturday afternoon at Belle
Terre. 1t is that OF a large and powerful
man, clad in oilskins. There was nothing
in the pockets except some buttons and
si2, which had been sewed into one of the
pockets.
Three bodies have since been found at
Wardenclife, three near Wading River
and another at Belle Terre. All of the
bodies had to be buried Immediately after
being viewed by Justice Hawkins.
1t was at first supposed that they came
from the schooners wrecked on Aug. rs,
but 1t l. now believed that they foated in
from wreck which has not been reported.
Stony Brook reports that in the Sound.
about three miles of Crane Neck Point
there Is sunken wreck which does not
seem to have been reported. The wreck
lies in such position that under the
pTtSdllNlR WuluS DOCleS WOulu DE likely
to float ashore from it to this section.
On Friday afternoon Edward Davis and
two other young men while out sailing,
saw floating spar with piece of old
sail attached to it. They tried to save
a couple Of blocks on the spar and found
that it was held to the bottom by sheet.
The spar was broken in several places, so
the young men took the tip of it some
Of the sail, hoops and some Of the blocks
and brought them ashore. They saw
that the rest of the spar with the sail
was left fast to the wreck.
Later in the day Capt. Hawkins, OF the
sloop Santa Maria, came upon the floating
spar and sail. He says that. Judging from
all he could see. the vessel was probably
three-masted schooner OF from 75O TO
900 tons. She lies in about rs feet Of water
There is no mark on any of the things afioat
to indicate the name of the vessel, and moth
ing has drifted ashore 80 far as known that
indicates wreck at that point.

measures introduced in Cuba during the
American military occupation have been
continued. and the island as whole is now
more healthful than at any time in its his
tory. Minister Squiers in a recent report
says:
In the District OF Havana the death rate
decreased in June to 100, against AS in the
preceding thirty days and against $40 in
June of last year, and is the lowest figure
for the month OF June ever recorded in
Havana, as far back as reliable statistics
can be obtained. The whole island is free
from smallpox and yellow fever, In many
of the provinces the death rate has been

commissioners Beach Presided at Meet
 ing Last Night.
 Commissioner Beach presided at the meeting of the board of safety held last evening. It appears to be the in- cention of the board to make the mem Ders 0f the fire and police departments pay strict attention to the rules, as may De seen in the dismissal of two mem bers of the call fire force, Simon Cro- min and James Bowes. These men had been before the board on several occa- stons for absence from duty without leave, that is to say they failed to re- spond to fire alarms. John K. Bagley, supernumerary policeman, was be- fore the board to show reason why he was not at the annual inspection. Bag ley is ball player and thought he would be home on October 1. Peter F. Meehan, another supernumerary, sent communication to the board explain ang his absence on the same occasion. He said that on account of his position as conductor on the Highland division of the Consolidated railroad he was unable to attend, also that he was un- able to attend the meeting of the board to give the explanation in person, and
 
 could be considered his resignation 1t was so considered and accepted.
 Jacob Schneider, 639 North Riverside street, complained to the board through a communications that while listening to a band in front of Poli'1 theater he was thrown into the gutter by special policeman No SC, Wilber Massicott. He said he has been under the doctor's care since and he would have 1t understood that he Is no foot ball to be kicked about. The usual notification will be sent him and the policeman to appear before the board on December 1 with their witnesses. Schreiber's letter said that one of his witnesses was Jean l.. Jacques It was voted that Supernumeraries Roune. King. Bagley and Roche shall appear at the police station next Sum day evening at o'clock and be repri- manded by the chief in the presence of the whole force. These men were. 1 absent from the inspection. Roune Is away on sick leave
