II will be observed that Foley. Fitzgerald
and Hawkins, against whom the Hearst
headquarters issued q Illumination declaring
that Senators who opposed the 10 cent gas
hill must be turned down were all turned
down.
Big Tim Sullivan declined to take the
nomination for State Senator in the Eleventh
district last night, and as a result the con-
vention adjourned until Monday evening.
By that time the leaders hope that the Big
Fellow will change his mind. II he doesn't
II means trouble for them, for a host OF can
didates appeared last night and there will
be q fght among the Assembly districts for
the nomination.
The convention was held at tho Huron
Club, Battery Dan Firms club, at Hudson
and Spring streets. Big Tim turned up
before the time for calling the convention
and told FIN and Big Tom Foley that he
wouldn't take the nomination IL it was
handed to him on a silver platter.
I'm through. said the big fellow. 1--we
been in Office twenty years and I've decided
I've had enough
1t was Sullivan's intenti on to go or the
hoor of the convention and in a speech
give his reasons for declining to run. A
rumor had been circulated that he was sore
and that in his speech he would lambaste
the head OF the ticket nominated at Buffalo.
Big Tim said that there was nothing in such
a report.
Big Tim left the club with Tom Foley.
Tiny want me to run, " he said. Il don't
want D run and / don't think l will pIn."
He denied with great vehemence that the
Hearst ultimatum that if he was put up a
Hearst man would run against him had any
thing to do with his change Of mind.
When Magistrate Finn was asked about
this he Jared up greatly.
Il want you to understand said Battery
Dan, that we take no dictation from any
body in this district; 1t doesn't matter
Whistler he's a candidate for Governor or
President. We've had people try to dictate
to us before and we've shown them what
that amounted to. What do We care about
Mr.. HearstI He can get on the ticket IL he
likes to. Sullivan was raised in this dis
| trict and we're for him. We cast our own
| vote and we elect whom We want"
Tom Foley said that he expected that Sulli-
Ivan would be induced to run by Monday
night. -
about it, said Foley.
According to Foley, Big Tim gave as his
reason that his business interests were now
80 extensive hat he didn't want any more
pu bile offices. ,
Among the candidates who appeared
last night we're Paddy Roche, Paradise
Jimmy Oliver and William II. Byrnes.
There were others. 1t was said that Big
Tim also had a candidate, out he wasn't
named. One Of the leaders said hat to ave
them trouble il was absolutely necessary
for Big Tim 10 run. As the Congress NOM
nation went to Foley's district the Senate
nomination, in the event Of Big Tim remain
ing firm, would lie between Dan Finn and
Borough President Ahearn. IL is expected
that Big Tim will make a speech Monday
night telling why he is trying to dodge the
nomination.
