Regard to Republican Nominee.

! William ]. Corners chairman of the Democratic
! State Committee. has arranged truce with SEN
ator Patrick H. McCarren, who emphasized his
! hold on the organization in Kings County in such
decisive way at the Tuesday primaries. McCar-
rcns delegates to the state convention in Rochester
on Tuesday will be seated and protest against
them will be sustained.
| This the result of conference at the Hoff-
man House the wee small hours yesterday
ing BY getting together that time Corners and
McCarren hoped to keep the meeting secret but
II leaked yesterday, and Corners would not
deny 1t. He would not talk of what took place,
however, but said ii a most satisfactory talk
Was it satisfactory TO McCarren?" he
asked.
Yes. I think So" replied the state chairman.
You may say that all is harmony"
McCarren result of the primaries, will con-
troll "a OF the 50 delegates. and he will be allowed
to participate in the convention the same terms
with the other state leaders This decision on the
part of Corners and Murphy not actuated by
any sudden love for McCarren, nor does it mean
that Murphy will not again take up the fight to
defeat the Senator in Brooklyn
IT does mean. however, that Corners and Muir
ply have yielded TO pressure from the national
leaders to bury their differences with the Brook
Ign Senator during the national campaign, and
that they have come TO the conclusion that throw
ing McCarren of the spring convention and the
national convention strengthened rather than weak
ened him Elated by his victory at the primaries,
McCarren was determined to fight for his rights.
and would have kicked up a most unpleasant row
at Rochester, which would have had bad effect
on the Democratic tickets. both state and nationl
Both Murphy and Corners still undecided
last night as to whom the candidate for Governor
would be. The best tip was that it would not be
a from this city, and it was said that
the chances favored Lieutenant Governor Chanler.
largely because he is the most active candidate
for the nomination
Conners says that his mind is open the Gov
ernorship question, his personal choice is still
Mr. Chanler. Larry Murphy, the secretary CT the
Lieutenant Governor. had long talk with Mr.
Corners yesterday, and later Daniel F. Co
halan the right hand man OF Charles F. Murphy
At first Mr. Murphy not inclined to take
much stock n the availability of Mr. Chanler, but
he is understood have told the friends of the
Lieutenant Governor that he would do nothing
ininical to the latter's chances and was willing
70 Weld IL It was clearly shown that the prepon-
derance of sentiment among the delegates was for
Mr.. Chanler.
Ex-Judg. Alton B. Parker. Martin W. Little
ton and Justice Gaynor have been eliminated as
possibilities, IL Is said
Mr. Parker and ex-Judge Morgan J. O'Bren have
been selected to preside the convention. They
have been told that they may decide among them
selves who shall be the temporary and who the
permanent chairman. 1t is thought most likely
that Mr.. Parker will be the temporary and Mr..
O'Bren the permanent chairman
When Chairman Corners was asked yesterday !
who the candidate for Governor would be he re-
piled in his usual breezy style: I'll bet million
n a cent not a man alive knows who our candi-
date will be- The delegates in the convention
will have that not one man won't pre-
dict the nomination of Mr. Chanler. but he Is a
strong man up the state If he is nominated ne
will be elected Sure thing The names OF AS
semblyman Palmer. of Schoharfe County; W.
CaryI Ely, of Erie. and David c. Robinson OF
ChemunR also probably will be placed in noulf- |
nation. There may be others.
From what Chairman Corners said it is be-
Iieved that every effort will be made to settle
all differences between various factions in the /
state before the convention He said that no /
more than five hours would be given for pre-
sentins contests before the committee on con-
tested seats NO all day, all night business this
time" said the chairman, referring to the long
vrangles over credentials in the convention two |
years ago and last spring. We Will take only |
twenty minutes to settle the whole business
Lieutenant Governor Chanler. who passed |
through the city yesterday on his way to his !
home. in Duchess County. seemed much dis
turbed by the circulation OF a story that he
would consent TO run against Governor
Hughes
Il understand" he said. that while 1 on
my vacation at Nantucket number of such
appeared in upstate papers. have
been candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Governor since my home county instructed
&c delegates for me many months ago My name
will be presented to the convention by Duchess
County, and II the convention tndorses the cholce
of our county shall accept the nomination with
out regard TO the choice of the Republican con-
yention My party is and always has been the
party and there is no member of any
other marty against whom I would not run on
Democratic platform"
In urging the availability Of MI Chanler
chairman Corners is said to have declared that
he could be relled on to poll great many votes
that went to Hearst two years ago and might
go 10 the candidate of the 1ndepen-
d.nce party this year. There seems. however. to
n. not the slightest foundation for the story
that the independence party might tndorse Chan
,~r for Governor II he should be nominated by
the Democrats.
Friends OF Representative William Sulzer have
not given up hope OF his nomination for Gov
ernor Charles F. Murphy thinks highly Of him.
but Chairman Corners is not willing 70 agree
that Mr. Sulzer would he the strongest candf-
date II is said that Mr.. Sulzer is willing TO
wait for higher honors. If he is convinced that
his candidacy this year would not tend to unite
the party and make it stronger than it would be
otherwise.
Chairman Corners will go 10 Rochester to-day.
Senator McCarren says he does not expect 10 go
until Sunday. The delegation from this city will
start for Rochester Monday. There viii be
meeting Of the state committee in Rochester that

At the Hoffman House last night IL easy TO
see that Senator McCarren had been taken back
