PARSONS NOT DECIDED.
Fusion oith Leaguers Still a Hard
Problem.

Herbert Parsons. president of the Repub-
lican County Committee. still refused last night
TO throw any light on the interesting question as
to whether there would be fusion on the county
tickets named by the Republicans and the
Independence League at their respective conven-
tions TO be held tonight
From all that could be learned 1t would
appear that Mr. Parsons personally favors
fusion So do certain of the leaders who have
candidates they would like to see elected. There
is no question, however, that there Is a strong
sentiment in the party and among many of the
leaders against any kind of an alliance with
the followers Of Hearst.
The question is still an open one and will
not be settled before the meeting of the execu-
tive committee this afternoon. At that time
Mr.. Parsons will probably state the situation
to the leaders for free and open discussion.
What the decision will be is problematieal
The convention Will be held at the Murray
Hill LVceum. The convention of the indie
pendenCa League is to be held in Carnegie Ly-
ceum. There seemed to be some disposition on
the part of the league leaders last night to
fear that the fusion would not go through after
all They began to talk of the candidates they
might name If they went it alone.
Heretofore Il has been said that the league
would be willing TO fuse if they could get the
nomination for Sheriff and for judge OF
General Sessions. Last night they began to say
that they had demanded two of the three
judges of General Sessions and three. or half.
of the nominations for the City Court Appar-
emily this was by way of throwing out some
sort of an anchor which would give them
good chance to explain why fusion did not go
through, if the proposition finally rejected
by the Republicans.
Wallace MacFarland, at the head of COM
mittee of the Bar Association, which Is making
an effort 70 see that able candidates nomi-
mated for the bench by all parties called on Mr..
Parsons yesterday afternoon and inquired what
the Republican organization would do Mr..
Parsons gave the names of some Of the aspirants
for nominations. and Mr. MacFarand told him
they We're all high class men.
II is said that when the Bar Association COM
mittee went to Tammany Hall in search of in
formation on the judicial nominations a list con-
tanning about fifty names was shown TO them.
They said they had never heard Of some Of the
men mentioned on the list.
Senator Martin SAKE came out strongly against
any fusion between the Republican organization
and Hearst's Independence League in state
ment yesterday. "I don't object to the league
indorsng any Of our candidates" he said. "That
would show good Judgment their part but
am opposed to the nomination by the Repub-
lcaps Of Thmscn anybody else who has been
associated with Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Hearst's
policies. There IS doubt that thousands OF
Republicans would refuse to support such a
ticket"
Senator SAKE, who lives in the 10Th Assembly
District said there would be caucus Of the
delegates 10 the county convention in the after
noon to talk over the proposed Hearst alliance.

ORDERS BETTER SERVICE.
Sub7cdy and EIerated Schedules to
PrO1ide for Rash Hours.

The Public Service Commission last n2ht served
formal order the Interborough Rapid transit
Company directing increases in the service on lhe
elevated lines and in the subway averaging -
per cent the present schedule OF service
These increases in most cases 10 take erect on
Monday. though some will be delayed untli NO
vember because the elevated cars which the
road is purchasing will not all be ready for service
before that time.
These increases in service are TO a lacge extent
what the company. through T.. T. Bryan, its prasi-
dent recently agreed to give In some cases the
commission has ordered little greater service
than the company volunteered The Increases ac-
cordng 10 the reckoning of the railroad men and
the observations of the commissions inspectors
ought to for all the standees, night and
morning save during the one hour at the height
OF the congestion. Al that hour night and morn
ing, the railroad people declare they cannot run
more than shown in the schedules tur-
nished TO the commission. THIS statement has not
been accepted wholly by the commission yet.
Last nights order issued after several hear
ings held before Commissioners Wilcox and Eustls
during which the Interborough's president voun-
teered n great increase in the service then being
maintained amounting in some cases to 66 % per
cent, notably in the night service the Second
avenue elevated line
At public hearing before the Public Service
Commission. Oren Root. jr. general manager Of
the New York City Railway Company gave a new
reason why the street railway company had failed
TO meet the demands of traffic According Mr.
Root il is impossible for the company to run more
cars on the Broadway. Madison avenue and Fourth
avenue lines. because II cannot get the men tc
work them. He did say whether not in
creased wages had been offered as an attraction,
but he did point out that advertisements for men
had been inserted in the newspapers of New York
and Philadelphia and had brought results in
one case only replying
Mr. Root thought that the railway company was
paying enough money. Mr. Commissioner" he
said, Il have had more controversy with the Of
fcers and directors of the company this very
matter of hiring men than any other ques-
tion. The company is paying higher wages than
any other street railway company in the East, but
cannot get the men. The situation to-day is,
believe general I'm all lines of business. There
jobs than there good to MI them.
While we cannot get all the men want don't
think we ought TO pay more money than we are
paying"

Metropolitan system the ground that the
