A secret politicaI conference was be-
gun last night al the country residence
Of J. G. Phelps Stokes, Norton Point,
Conn. It will last four days. During
that time matters of vital Importance
to the welfare of socialism viii be dis

ct the conference last night, but more
are on the way. Among those con-
spicuous last night besides Mr., Stokes
was his brOtner-in-law. Robert Huntet.
who has pronounced ideas about civic
affairs.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Believed That Hessin VIII Get
Out of Race.
May Leave Mr.. Calderhead a
Clear Field.
AFRAID OF LITTLE.
Feared He Will Yet Make
Trouble.
People Disguised With Turn of
Affairs.
AFRAID OF LITTLE.

There is a rumor that John 2. Hessin.
Of Manhattan. win within a few days
announce his withdrawal from the race
for congress in the Fifth district.
A well known Fifth district man said
yesterday: Peck has Withdrawn,
Brewer never had any intention Of run
ming. Kimban will not get in. and the
railroads don't care especially whether
Hessin or Calderhead wins. But they
are lined up behind Calderhead because
they pick him as the most likely man.
The only thing which threatens to make
trouble is Ed Little, at Abilene. and
he would have a hard fight at home.
And all this In spite Of the fact that
the people of the Fifth district are five
to one against Calderhead. Our peo-
pie do not consider Calderhead as their
representative. He does not enjoy the
confidence Of his constituents; they do
not think Of writing to him about mat
ters' his only correspondence is with
the politicians and the railroads"
Tt is evident that the Calderhead
forces have come to the conclusion that
they have very little to fear. Senator
T. r. Simon, chairman of the Fifth
district congressional convention. has is
sued a call for meeting of the com
mitree at the Gillette hotel in Manhat-
tan at i p. m. on March 6, for the
purpose of fixing the time and place
for the convention. 1t has been gen
orally assumed that Calderhead con-
trolls this committee and can have
things fixed UP as he likes. The in
tention Of the committee now seems TO
be to hold congressional convention
instead of a primary. The primary
would have been resOrted to only in
case of d number of candidates against
Calderhead who would have split up
the vote.
1T seems to be a prevailing belief in
some parts of the district. at least. that
Hessin is not developing sufficient
strength to beat Calderhead. Hessin
was in the senate at one time, and the
Fifth district people have good mem
cries. They claim that he was too
friendly to the railroads at that time
to give him the confidence of the dis
trict In his race for congress. They
believe they would gain nothing by
trading Calderhead for Hessin.

DEPEWS TO PART.
Papers Are Being Prepared for a
Legal Separation.

Washington, March Authorization
has reached several persons high in
social circles in Washington that a le-
gal separation is pending between Sen
atOr and Mrs. Depew, and that the pa
pers are now in course of preparation
in New York. For some months it has
been talked here that the prolonged
stay of Mrs. Depew in Paris means her
permanent residence there. Now it has
come both from New York and from
abroad that a separation has been de-
termined upon and that lawyers in
New York are at work upon the pa
pers.
Friends of Senator Depew have been
saying for several weeks that the often
Its foundation much more in his domes-
tic difficulties than in the disclosures
about him which resulted from the in
surance investigation. But it was those
disclosures, it is said, which prompted
Mrs. DepeW to return to her mother in
Paris. Her determination was reached
suddenly, and her departure involved the
cancellation of several social engage
ments which she had made for the
opening Of the season in Washington
last fall.
At that time her close friends here
knew how keenly she felt the public
criticism of Senator Depew which fol-
lowed the insurance disclosures. and
her modification and disappointment
were not concealed.
The marriage of Senator and Mrs. De-
pew was in France in December, 1901.
The bride was Miss Mary Palmer,
daughter of the late Henry Palmer of
New York, and many years the Junior
of the bridegroom. Mrs. Palmer is still
living in Paris, where she has long
maintained handsome residence.

day night was a success in spite Of the
stormy weather A fair sized crowd

some of the Republican leaders of the
state.
The meeting had been we'll adver-
tised and the friends of J. s. George,
chairman of the executive committee
of the league, whose candidacy it was
designed to aid, expected a large at
tendance. Carr W Taylor, attorney
for the railroad board presided and
W. R.Stubbs, Judge Ansel R. Clarke
Of Sterling and T. NJ. Potter of Pea
body made speeches.
Judge Clarke confined his speech to
outlining the purposes of the league
and boosting his own candidacy for
lieutenant governor. while I have
no right to say I know the railroads
have a candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor, he said, Il do know another man
is a candidate and that he has the
support of the railroads newspapers in
the state and of the political machine,
and 1 also know that these Influences
are against my nomination"
II. NJ. Potter made a fervent speech
in favor of Mr.. George, whom he de-
scribed as the most capable man for
railroad Commissioner in the state. Mr..
Stubs devoted most of his speech to
a review Of the work of the last legis-
lature and to an exploitation of his
part in exposing the operation of the

terview from @friend Of both parties

terview from a friend Of both parties"
in the Winfield Courier:
You remember that the night be-
fore election two years ago Hackney
made a speech in the opera house in
which he pledged himself to kick the
pants Off any court bill which Arkan-
sas City would propose. Then Judge
Buchanan followed and assured the
people of his confidence in Hackney
and that If they would join in and send
Hackney to the legislature it would
not be necessary to send committees to
Topeka during the session to protect
our interests. This endorsement OF
Hackney, who was just fresh out Of
the Democratic party, by Judge Buck
man made his election possible.
When Hackney went back on his
kick the pants off pledge and voted
for the Arkansas City court bill Judge
Buchanan felt hurt. He felt that such
action on Hackney's part stultihed him.
So when Hackney came down from
Topeka on a visit Buckman told him
that his course did not meet with his
(Buckman's) approval. Hackney re-
piled that he didn't give a d-n Wheth-
er it did or not Since which time
Judge Buckman has not had the con
fdence in nor respect for Mr.. Hackney
that he formerly had, and will have no
more of Hackney nor. Hackney's
