of office is outlined by the Now York
correspondent of the Albany Journal in
the following interesting manner:
The next few days will be important
ones to the hungry Democrats who are
seeking places under the new State
officers who are to take their places on
January /. The return OF Martin II.
Glynn. the comptroler-eloct. to this
country from Europe has caused re-
newal of the patronage distribution con-
fcrences which were suspended because
Patrick E. McCabe the Democratic com
mitteeman from Albany. could give
Charles F. Murphy OF Tammany Hall
and William ]. Corners, chairman OF
the Democratic state committee, no
positive assurances as to where Mr..
Glynn would stand when It came to
passing out the plums.
1t Is understood. however, that Mr.
McCabe gave both of these men to
understand that Albany county must
get Its share or a little bit more or
Mr.. Glynn would make trouble for ONCE
seekers in other sections Of the State
NJ. Glynn is here now to speak for HIM
self and as far as can be learned he is
sticking close to McCabe. with whom it
Ing agreement. In fact the rumor Is
current that rs early as last February
MIR. Glynn asked McCabe to secure the
nomination of comptroller for him II
possible and that he promised McCabc
at that time that If he did and election
should follow he would work harmon-
ously with him.
Mr.. Glynn and Mr. McCabe are both
ct i,,
conferences which are being held.
William $. jackson, the attorney
general elect, came from Buffalo. having
been summoned to the conference by
telegraph. Chairman Corners is still i'll
at the Waldorf-Astor,a. but 1T is though,
he is sufficiently recovered to lend his
advice whenever II is asked
WHY JACKSON WAS SUMMONED.
One OF the chief reasons for summoniru
Nj, Jackson to New York is duo hi.
announced intention of appointing Franl;
White of Albany, as one OF his deputies
Both Mr.. McCabe and Mr.. Glynn ar,
strongly opposed to giving place tc
Albany county which has not the en-
dorsement Of the Albany county organi
cation. The both contend that II Albany
the local organization should pick the
man. They want William V Cooke, a.
stated in these dispatches last night
and one of the objects Of the conference
| to-day is said to be to induce Mr. Jackson
to revoke the tentatively hite appointment
take care of Mr. Cooke and have tn,
powers that he take care of White ir
another way They say that he could b,
named by Mr.. Glynn as one Of the ST,
transfer tax appraisers for New York {
position which pays a. 900 a year II the,
can get the transfer of Charles +
Murphy to this transfer it is said tina
Albany will then be satisfied becaus,
Albany county Will not then be charged
with the position.
Mr.. Glynn and Mr. McCabe have hat
several heart to heart talks on tn,
question OF the deputy comptroller, bu
neither Is ready yet to make any an
! nouncement.
WHERE DOES HEARST GET OFF?
While these conferences are going O,
William R.. Hearst Is in New York an,
he Is trying to chockmate the plans Of tn,
Murphy Commons -McCabe Cassidy com
bination and he hopes to do It throug!
e'iS ,uiloi Ipodiu, nut now ne can dCCOnlp
l!sh his purpose Is not quite clear e
observing politicians here. Mr.. Chanle,
and Mr.. Whalen We're original Hears
men and are members Of the board Blu
they are only two OF seven. But Hears
thinks he pulls stronger oar with tn,
attorney-gcneral-eleCt than does Chair
man Connors even If both are from Buff
falo II they can land him this woult
give them three votes and II the ni.sio,
OF Max Ihmsen to Europe met with an,
success he has hopes Of getting Glynr
with him. This would give him contro
of the board and bust the combination
But this is all speculation. Hears
realizes that much will depend upon how
Murphy treats Glynn and McCabe as tc
the attitude Glynn will assume
| 1t is also understood hero that Mr.
McCabe has talked with Mr.. Glynn a.
TO the successor of Charles b. Templetor
as transfer tax appraiser for Albany
