NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Reading was
the feature during the first half hour
of trading In the stock market, today.
1877 IA. Trading In the stock was the
heaviest on the list. but was not of
sensational proportions. Interest In
the market seemed to lag in the early
waiting for Z. ii. Hartman TO give
some indication OF his intentions for
the immediate future. Persons close
to him were inclined to be bearish in
their personal views, but they admit
ted that the chief had not yet told
them what he proposed to do. One
surprising feature Is the Importance
attached by some professionals TO the
Maine election. All the little people
are getting themselves worked up
for Bryan scare and this is furnish
ing a constantly shifting short inter.
est. Brokers from the west talk
Bryan very confidently, but in the
west the talk is causing professionals
To buy stocks.
Chief among the reasons for bear
ishness on the part OF Harriman's
friends is the fact that their plans call
for a much higher market and they
feel there should be sharp reaction
TO improve the technical condition OF
the market.

stab" to get a man OF weight to fight
Hughes for governor, cabled back that
ne would not accept the governorship
OF New York state If II were formally
offered To him.
The fact of the sending of the over
sea message shows TO what desperate
straits the 'antis" have been driven.
But their forlorn hope has faded and
they are left dangling in an absurd
position.
The delegates have been going
round and round in circles waiting for
some one TO lead them. The desper-
ateness OF the situation Is shown in
the frantic turning from one man TO
another until nearly every man of the
requisite ability. standing and promi-
hence in the state has been offered the
nomination-Root, Choate. Nicholas
Murray Butler. Cortelyou. Gen. Horace
Porter and, lastly. David Jayne Hill.

STORY OF KILLING.

Very mild and inoffenslve ia Deputy

Sunday. Tolland is a man of little
more than 100 pounds weight and not
aggressive in demeanor.
After hearing his story, Prosecutor
Yerkes told Tolland TO go home and
remain until sent for. This indicates
that he win in all probability, not be
brought into court at all.
Much depends upon the facts
brought out at Coroner Benefits In
quest Friday morning. The facts as
brought out so far, indicate that Toll

he shot Duffy. who was a much larger
man.
Tolland was accompanied by
