The Mutual Admiration society.

To THE EDITOR OF THH SUN-.Sir' beg you
will correct the statement that appears In your
paper OF this morning With reference 10 storm
brewing in the Citizens Union over the name OF
William Trsvers Leronie | have heard nothing
Of such storm and cannot now discern cloud
upon the horizon. The Union has not discussed
candidates for the coming election. even Informally
and while the convention to bo held In April will
probably denne tho Unions attitude. there Is no
prospect OF Its naming candidate until Us usual
adjourned session In September.
Your reporter represents me as leading faction
In the Union. Permit TO state that II ever
feel disposed TO be dictionary In that body will
nrst resign the chArnaasllp.
NEW YORK, Jan- IL r. FULTON CUTTING.
This report in THE Sun TO which Mr.
Cutting refers said nothing about storm
in the Citizens Union and that body's
having discussed candidates for the COM
ing election II only said. and truly,
that among come Of the leaders there
is a desire TO nominate an independent
Democrat and that Mr. Jerome Is the man
they have in mind What the Citizens
Union does or leaves undone. however, Ia
a matter OF no Importance. and the report
referred to It as OF curious interest only.
The people Of New York found out long ago
that that mutual admiration society is
political nuisance, and the discovery has
rendered IL powerless TO do any more mis-
chief Why should 1t not nominate for
Mayor Mr. Cutting himself? He would get
all the mutual admiration votes and the
world would find out how many righteous
men are left in Sodom

Mrs. Hyde's $4,000

his labors in connection with the read
justment of Equitable affairs. Assur-
ance was given that his visit was not

Mr. Morton admitted, in response to

the Associated Press, that a PROPOSE
tion to discontinue the pension of $25,-
600 a year now paid to Mrs. Henry B.
Hyde. widow of the founder of the
Equitable society. was under consider

considered with other pensions now
paid by the society; that is, her pension
will be discontinued, if at all, as
an exception. The whole matter of
pensions by the Equitable will be con-
