LOOKS LIKE DIR. MORAN.
Conservative Bay State Democrats
Haze No Present Candidate.

Boston, Aug. 23.-Uncertainty characterized the
situation in which prominent members OF the
Democratic party found themselves to-day ana
District Attorney John q. Moran was the only man
who continued 20 plan a definite campaign for dele
gates to the Democratic state convention, which
will be held in this city on october t. number
OF party leaders, known as ''the conservatives
who are admittedly opposed TO Moran's candidacy
have been brought 20 standstil ana are unaole
20 follow the District Attorneys tactics because
they are now without candidate for whom votes
might be pledged. A strange feature OF the case
which upset we'll laid plans for Mr. whitney cam
paign that Mr.. Douglas seemed 70 be un-
aware that he being pushed forward once more
for Governor, and the attempt 20 gain harmony IN
the party by the withdrawal OF both Whitney and
Moran was according 10 Mr.. Douglas. without au-
thorization from him.
An interview with Josiah Quincy. chairman Of the
Democratic state committee. to-day disclosed the
that there is hope that the political atlos-
phere will be cleared for several days According
TO Mr.. Quincy, Mr. Whitney is permanently out OF
tho campaign. Former Governor William L.
Douglas is the man upon whom Mr. Quincy and his
followers place their hope. IL was admitted to-day
that these were OF the opinion that MT
Douglas would his way clear 70 take up the
contest against Mr. Moran where it had been
dropped by Mr. Whitney.
Mr. Quincy was asked what course would be
pursued should Mr.. Douglas reiterate his de-
termination 20 stay out OF public hfe lie sala:
Nothing definite be said on this matter for
several days. A great deal depends on Mr. Doug
las, and waiting TO hear whether OF not ne
will run. If he declines then some strong Demo-
crat must be brought forward IL we are to prevent
Moran's nomination by default
Mr. Quincy admitted that Congressman John a.
Sullivan was a strong possibility the repre-
sentative OF "the conservitives for first place on
the ticket.
In brief the situation may be summed up as fol-
lows Mr.. Whitney has withdrawn and will not
again enter the campaign. He has gone TO Canada.
where he has business interests. for an indefinite
period.
Mr. Douglas will not discuss the probability OF
his entrance into the breach. District Attorney
Moran will remain an active candidate for the
Democratic nomination. He will not talk politics,
however. Congressman John A. Sullivan, of BOs-
ton is expected in this city from Canada in a day
two. He msy be selected the leader of the
fight against Moran.

Collision in Fog.

New York, Jan. 1.-The heavy fog
which hung over the North River this
morning was responsible for a collision
between the ferry boats Passaic, of the
Erie line, and the BInghamtOn, of the
Delaware, Lackawanna 4 Western line,
off Charlton street. The Passaic was
seriously damaged and the 300 passen-
gers on the ferry were thrown into a
great panic. So far as known, only one
man, an Italian porter on the Passaic,
named Nicola Carlo, was badly hurt,
although there is some doubt whether a
passenger on the Passaic was knocked
overheard and drowned. Many of the
passengers were badly bruised and all
we're shaken up. In the panic follow
ing the collision several persons we're
crushed as the crowds rushed to get out
of the cabins, but there we're no other
serious accidents.
