seriously by Mr. Murphys friends. Coionei NC
T,lanan was 81 the Murray Hill Hotel where he
saw a number Of friends. He has told ms
friends that there is no longer any DOUBT ABOUT
his nomination. and he thinks that ne can
smooth out the situation in Kings as soon as
he IS norninated. He expects TO make trip 20
BROOKLYN and tell Mr.. Mclaughlin that ne
couldn't help being nominated. Senator McCaI-
Ten has advised Colonel Mcclellan 10 be sure
and wear extra heavy trousers when ne goes 10
cal Ion the old man at the auction rooms in
Willoughby-st.
MR.. FORNES IS UNHAPPY.
President Fornes, OF the Board Of Aldermen,
is IN q most unhappy frame OF mind. His
friends say that he is preparing a letter in
answer TO the one sent him by President Cut
ting that viii put him squarely on record in
support Of Mayor Low and the fusion ticket.
No matter how strongly he comes out Tor
Mayor Low ii is probable that Tammany VIII
nominate him anyway. Murphy has declared
that carving the slate through is to he a
test Of his leadership. If the Controller is
dropued of the ticket, Mr.. Fornes probably VIII
go too.
