[From The Tribune Rureau.

Washington, Dec 1s--That there will be no
clash between the friends of President Roosevelt
and the friends of Governor Hughes in the New
York County Committee when that organization
holds Its regular meeting tomorrow night is the
prediction Of Representative Bennett a member of
that committee. He believes that both the ma =
iional and state Republican administrations will
be Endorsed. and If any overardent friends of
either hoped TO see Showdown" of strength
they viii be disappointed
The friends Of the President will not object

tration Endorsed in the warmest terms" said
MT bennet, VINO called at the White House to-
day But We will insist upon the national
administration getting Just as good treatment
at the hands of the committee From v-bar T
have been able to learn there will be no opposi-
fion to this from Mr.. Hughes's friends 50 II

Mr. Ahcarn Indignantly scorns any such suS-

CITY CLUB ON 1HE1RN.
Says His Reelection Would BE
AHront to GOCernOy.

The executive committee of tho City Club net
last night and discussed the possibility OF the
Democratic aldermens re-eIecting Ahearn to-day
After the meeting George McAneny. president OF
the club. made a statement for tho organization
In which he declared that to take advantage "of
flaw in the city's charter provisions for filling a
vacancy and attempt to re-eleot Ahcarn. would be
nothing less than outrageous affront to Gov
ernor Hughes" Tho political significance Of the
move he said. would be nothing less than to
stamp the Tammany majority declaring that
unless actually caught stealing money
be did not fall below its Standards
II the attempt should be made. the City Club
Will regard it as the opening of the next municipal
campaign. and this. too regardless of whether it
prove successful. If necessary. the City Club will
call upon every organization in the state to take
the subject up Immediately.
The action of the City Club perhaps less
moderate than that of the Citizens Union, the
borough committee OF which met for the same
reason last night and adopted a letter which was
sent to the Mayor and members OF the Board Of
Aldermen.
In this letter the possibility of the election of
Ahearn to succeed himself ignored The Ciu-
zens Union says 1t has candidate of its own.
and then impresses upon the aldermen the neces-
sity of selecting the right man for so responsible
place. The letter says the Citizens Union
hopes that tae board will take this occasion to
show the public that it can be of conspicuous use
to the city-'.its critics to the contrary notwth-
standing"-by the selection of The proper man.

The Grifenhagen men were more confident last
night than their opponents The Hearst mem
bers know that Murphy cannot do much for
them. Tammany refused each of them a nomi
nation this year and the best they can hope for
is a small joo from Borough President Ahearn
IL he should continue in office. But the thought
has occurred to them that If Ahearn should be
removed again by Governor Hughes new man
might repudiate any promise made by Mr.. Muir
ply. leaving them out in the cold. In the cir
cumstances they reason that Grifenhagen could
do good deal more for them than Ahearn or
any Tammany man possibly could. Grifenha gen
would go in with a clean slate and would have

take care Of the Hearst men without embar-

by his every year. He is a hard worker
