MIR. Belmont. while in Washington, he said.
Mr. Belmont had conferences with Democratic

Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, North
Carolina and elsewhere Among the Senator'S
whom he saw were Carmack. OF TENNESSEE; Bal
ley of Texas; Bacon, of Georgia; Mallory, of Flor
ida, and Dubois, Of Idaho What the nature of the
conference It would hardly need q politician to
discover
Il am very sorry,'' Mr.. Belmont told reporter
who called at his office yesterday afternoon, but
l have nothing to say at the present time" MIR.
Belmont intimated that he might be less reticent
later.
Mr.. Belmont, II is said returned to this city with
messages from Democratic Senators to both Muir
ply and David b. Hill. The message to Murphy. IL
is said declared that the South and West looked
for the instruction of the New-York delegation to

FEW GREET THE OLD NAN.
McL0 sghEn Has Not Decided Yet
What Course to Pursue.

Resuming his custom. Hugh Mclaughlin. who
returned TO Brooklyn from Florida on Friday. went
to the auction rooms in Willoughby-st-. yesterday
morning. Although many of his personal frlends
called TO greet him, the scene was different from
what it IN former years. when on his return
70 the auction rooms. which were then the unofa-
cial headquarters OF the Kings County Democratic
ma chine. they thronged with district leaders
and politicians. Not district leader called yes
terday, but the 'rOld Man" seemed to be none the
less happy for that. He refused absolutely to
talk politcs saying that he had nothing 10 add at
present to what he said on Friday night.
Among the callers Justice Almet T. jerks,
ex-County Clerk William Wuest. ex-SheriT Will
lam Walton, Assistant District Attorney Robert
Eden end Thomas r. Farrell James shevlin is
confined at homo by Illness.
Some one asked Mr.. Mclaughlin II he would take
any part in the factional fighting going on
in the county, and the CHARACTERISTIC reply was:
You don't know what you are going TO DO to-
morrow the day after. do your Neither can
answer your question"
When Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle was
asked II he intended to go and pay his respects
Mr.. Mclaughlin. he evaded the question by
saying that he had not been in the auction rooms
for several months
Senator McCarren said he had nothing to say IN
reply to the rather sharp comments made about
him by Mr.. Mclaughlin.
According TO a story circulated yesterday, not
only Mr.. Mclaughlin but also Edward NJ. Shep-
ard tried to induce President Littieton to appoint
Thomas r. Farrell Commissioner Of Public Works.
