B. & O. WRECK INQUIRY.
Conductor Says Trai'men Did Not
Regulate Their Watches.

Washington, Jan. Tt was shown to-day at
the coroner's inquest into the Terra Gotta wreck
on the night OF December 80 that engineers and
conductors have not heretofore generally OBJ
served the rules Of the Baltimore & Ohio in
regard to regulating their watches in accordance
with the companys standard clocks at Balti-
more Cumberland and Washington In his tes-
timony, Hoffmer conductor of No 2.12O. the
dead train intimated that these clocks did not
always keep correct time.
Superintendent Galloway apparently
much surprised when he heard the latters
statement, and said that order issued
last October requiring operators to regulate
their clocks according to standard time. He
said that the regulations require conductors and
engineers, before starting for run, to compare
their watches with these clocks. Mr.. Galloway
said that the failure OF men engaged in the
movement of trains to comply with the instruo-
tions was a grave mistake, and made serious
accidents likely.
Hildebrand, engineer Of the dead" train ad-
mitted when recalled to-day that he failed to
observe any signal at Takona Park on the nigh
of the wreck. he thought that station was
dead" and consequently did not look for the
signal He stated that he did see the base Of
the tower, but that he did not look at the top
because he did not expect to see any signal
there 1t Is now thought the coroners inquiry
will lot be ended before Wednesday Thurs
day.

Mayor Mcclellan was asked yesterday TO discuss
further the part Of his message that dealt with
connection between the Brooklyn and Williamsburg
bridges He said:
That part OF the message must not be taken to
mean that am opposed to an elevated loop IL
was written prior to the last meeting OF the Rapid
Transit Commission. Three or four members or
the commission had stated that never, never never
would they vote for another elevated structure In
Manhattan, and on the face OF their votes the t.
loop plan had every Bemblance of death. do not
know whether these gentlemen have changed their
minds. My position to-day is the same as stated
at the meeting / for quick relief for Brooklyn.
I am not an advocate of permanent IL" Were
IL question where tho same amount OF money and
time involved In the building and operating
of an IL" loop and a subway loop should

Telegraph to The Tribune
Albany, Jan. 7.-Governor Hughes showed to-
day that his recent experience as strap
hanger in the New York subway remained
vividly marked on his mind But, more than
that he indicated when he was asked about 1t.
that he realized that his was no unusual case.
and that he recognized the necessity for imme-
diate relief
WAS this your first experience as strap
hanger?' the Governor WAS asked.
Gentlemen, I have lived in New York for
many years." he replied, and the tone Of his re-
ply was conclusive Those who heard that tone
gathered from it impression of grim de-
termination to change such conditions
The Governor was asked about the sugges-
tons made at the meeting OF transit reform
committees in New York on Saturday, when the
idea advanced that the local commission
to have charge of New York City affairs should
either be elected appointed by the Mayor. He
said that he did not care to discuss those sug-
gestions. He reiterated. though. the feature
emphasized in his message 10 the Legislature.
that the commission directing New York City
conditions should be state body, appointed by
the Governor. He said that he had no modifca-
ton to make and did not care to amend the idea
In the message in any way
Instead of occupying the private office behind
the large executive chamber, which in past
years has been practically only show room"
or use TO the Capitol guides and visitors and for
interviews with casual callers and delegations.
Governor Hughes transacted business to-day in
the main chamber. ''I am making no invarfable
rule in doing this" he said "but II find that 7
can carry on public business with dispatch here
1 shall do it,
The Governor was asked IL he had any plans
They are coming and going all the time" he
smiled.

Alderman Meyers did not vote for himself
President BerTnei, Of the Borough OF Queens
was absent, were also Aldermen Harnisch-
feger and Jacobson It requires forty votes TO
elect. The board took recess until to-day at
noon. when another ballot will be taken
Alderman John r Davies nominated Arr.

leader IN the board. Alderman Peters, who
started out year ago a bitter opponent OF
TaInmany and of little Tim" Sullivan. but
who is weakening IN his Independence, nom
mated John Palmier- Alderman Sullivan NOM
mated Francis s. McAvoy.
Borough President Coler OF Brooklyn voted for
Palmieri, and predicted afterward that there
would be a fusion between the Hearst men and
the Tammany men.
On Alderman Sullivan's motion to take a re-
cess the Hearst men voted with Tanmany and
carried the motion by 30 to So
1t looked last night as though Alderman
Meyers would have hard work getting moro
than "a votes. and the Hearst men finally would
decide 70 support some one selected by Charles
F. Murphy Whether this will be Justice Nc
Avoy some one else upon whom the Hearst
men could compromise will probably DO deter
mined to-day.
When Corporation Counsel Ellison learned
that the Board OF Aldermen at the meeting yes
terday had not elected q Recorder TO succeed
Recorder Goff, he said: IT wish the board and
the Governor could agree on one man to save
trouble, and would like to see that man Judge
Cowing." He also said that If two different

the validity OF a conviction by the Recorder who
took the seat first and held court.
When tho question first UP Assistant
Corporation Counsel Butts was assigned to find
out who had the right to appoint new Re
corder. Mr.. Butts reported to Mr. Ellison that
the right lay with the whole Board of Alder
men, including the President Of the Board and
the borough presidents. This opinion was con-
Cured in by Assistant Corporation Counsel Con-
molly, who also looked UP the subject.
Judge Cowing, however, according to Mr.. ELI
son. differed. asserting that the appointment
lay with the Governor. Mr.. Ellison has sent all
these opinions to Governor Hughes, but has not
yet heard from him the subject.

you that he intended to retire at a convenient
time from the craftsmanship Of the national
committee. AS much as a year ago he was in
clned to announce his resignation as chairman
Of the committee. and arrangements to that end
were about completed It was known then that
Harry S. New, of Indianapolis. would be the
acting chairman Of the committee on Mr.. Cor
telyou's REIMBURSEMENT Of the chairman's duties
Several matters OF political Importance We're
pending before Chairman Cortelyou. and there

a member OF the Cabinet AS these questions
now have been cleared up, Mr. Cortelyou takes
the opportunity to retire from the chairnnanship-
Mr. Cortslyou never has had any intention OF
retaining the chairnanship longer than was ab-
solutey necessary TO close I'D ths work which
the President and he had In mind. He let IL be
known some time ago that he intended TO retire

Scott to-day again expressed the opinion that
the committee should have bean called togethse
and had an opportunity TO select It's own chair

IL probable that such a movement would be
begun before great while. Mr.. Scots said also
that he was not q candidate tor the chairman

a month ago when the nomination was unde1
