GAYNOR'S mo" IN LETTER
Continued from first page.

unforeseen happened, be willing to take part In
the anti-Tammany fusion campaign, and sought
from Mr.. Halpin inside information with refer
ence to candidates Mr.. Halpin told him in SUD
stance that the other conferrees were sorry 10
see the Citizens Union bolt the conference on
Thursday night, and would be happy 10 nave
them return. He intimated plainly TO Mr. an
Iderstine that the conference would be subject
to majority rule, after full and fair discussion
of ways and means. and he told Mr.. Van der
slime that in the circumstances he did not take
much stock in the Leavtt letter.
II is no secret among the conferrees that the
Citizens Union men have lost prestige on &C
count of boiling the conference. and the action
of the city committee in sending its representa-
tives back to the conference is evidence to the
Republicans that the unions delegates did not
represent the real sentiment of the union when
they bolted. The other factors in the fusion
movement will welcome the cooperation of
the Citizens Union. but will not allow Mr.. Cut
ting and his friends in view of the reproof ad-
ministered TO them, to dominate the conference
The time for action is short, and the indications
are that the Republicans and Municipal Owner
ship people will go ahead with the work Of
selecting a candidate without a great deal or
Difference to the Cutting Leavitt men.
At the noon recess of the Supreme Court in
Brooklyn yesterday Justice Gaynor conferred
with friends and persons interested in the fusion
movement. Among them John Brooks
Leavitt and J. Edward Swanstrom, who was
Borough President in the Low administration.
Justice Gaynor refused to talk about the con-
ferenceS.

MR.. AMBLER'S SUCCESSOR,
Senators McE1can and Fancher
Talked of for Place.
LRv Telegraph to The Tribune.I

Albany Sept. 19.-There is considerable specuia-
ton here at the present time as to who will sue
coed the late Senator Amber as chairman of the
Senate Insurance Committee. 1t is conceded that
as a result of the Investigations conducted by the
Armstrong Committee this office will be most i'm
portant at the next session. The ranking mem
Der of the present committee is George R. Malby,
of ST Lawrence who is chairman of the important
Committee of Finance. That he would resign this
post for the Insurance Committee is considered
improbable This would leave Senator McEwan
of Albany, the ranking member, and he would
naturally be named. but Senator McEwan has al
ways had great repugnance for this particular
committee. which has never enjoyed a particularly
savory reputation. Moreover, Senator McEwan
has announced his intention of retiring from the
Senate at the close of his present term. He may,
therefore, be passed over at his own request
on the other hand, if McEwan definitely
fuses the general belief is that Senator Fancher.
who succeeded Governor Higgins and comes from
the Governors old district will be named. as he
is next in line Fancher has never been active
legislator. but has usually voted for all measures
which involved the Higgins administration. But
the whole question still remains open. Lieutenant
Governor NJ. Linn Bruce will name the successor.
but Senator John Raines, as President pro TEN.
will actually decide the matter

with view to fusion
The county convention was called to order bv
John z. Eusts, who afterward chosen tempo

honor conferred upon him. Mr.. Eustis took occa-

newspapers a 'boss-ed set just like the other
political organizations We have our leader You
all know he is not boss but you will agree
with me that he leads us. and always in the right

Judging from what I have seen in the news
papers, It seems to that the general opinion is
that the present administration has been so good
that there is no chance of a change. There may
be some people who do not a change but
hope you will convince the people the necessity

While Mr.. Littleton has not in so many words
expressed a willingness to make the race on the
anti-Tammany ticket, it is believed that he
would do so, despite the ban OF party Irregular

very pleasant chat. lasting about an hour and a
