HASENFLuG TO QUIT Politics.
Brooklyn Senator Killed Over Patronage
DlspensatIon.

Senator Conrad Hasenflug of Brooklyn
has announced his purpose to retire from
the Democratic leadership in the Nine
teenth Assembly district and quit the po-
litioal game for good. Although he has had
no break with Senator McCarren he has
made no secret of his dislike over the recent
dispensation of political patronage con-
tending that the Eastern District has been
ignored while most of the plums have gone
to South Brooklyn. He told MoCarren that
his lieutenants had become so restive over
the situation that he had made up his mind
to abandon the political arena.
In spite of the fact that Hasenfiug had not
joined in the revolt against McCarren he
was recognized by the recent State conven-
ton and made member of the sub-com-
mittee of the State committee to reorganize
the party throughout the State. He turned
his credentials over to McCalTen empow er-
ing him To serve as his proxy.
His brother, Henry Hasenfiug a clerk
in one OF the municipal courts, will prob
ably succeed him as the leader in the Nine
teenth district.

M4XIM'S NOISELESS GUN.
Gen. CrOZier Says Board Of OffIcers VIII
Test II n 1t Is Submitted TO Him.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Gen. William
Crozer, chief of ordnance of the army
said to-day that his bureau had had no
correspondence with Hiram Percy Maxim
in regard to his noiseless gun, which was
demonstrated in New York yesterday.
If Mr.. Maxim perfects an army rife and
submits it to the War Department for trial,
investigated A board of army officers
would be appointed to make thorough
test of the new rifle and it would be sub
jected to trial.
A noiseless gun, it was explained by
army ordnance experts, will have advan-
tages similar to those obtained by the
introduction Of smokeless powder. Sharp
shooters will be able to secrete themselves
in ambush without betraying their location
by the noise of their guns. If noiseless guns
were adopted by all armies of the world
it was added war would develop into a
game of hide and seek. For use in naval
warfare the noiseless gun is of little ad-
vantage over the guns now in use.

ALBANY, June 12.-In a statement made
public to-day Gov. Hughes reaffirms his
stand previously taken that he would not
accept the Republican Vice Presidential
nomination The statement was in the form
Of telegraphc reply answering the inquiry
OF a New York paper. 1t is as follows:
Gov. Hughes directs me to acknowledge
your telegram. He recently stated his posi-
tion In his letter to Gen. Woodford. which has
been published While he appreciates the
distinction of the office and the honor which
the nomination would confer the Governor
directs me to say that he cannot. and will not
under any circumstances, accept a nomina-
tion for the Yice-Presidency.'
ROBERT II. FULLER,
Secretary to the Governor.
Gov. Hughes announced when questioned
that he would make no further statement
bearing on the Vice-Presidency. 1t is the
understanding here that to all his friends
who have called to see him preparatory
to ma king the sso trip to bis Chicago the
intention not to take the place in any event.
He does not mean to depreciate the i'm
portance and dignity Of the office, but in his
case circumstances are SUCH his friends

the ma tier seems 10 be all in the air, as the
Governor positively refuses to make any
statement whatever. Some time ago. II
will be remembered, it was announced
with great positiveness that he would not
take the nomina ton for second term, as
his position demanded that he return to
the practice of law in the event Of not re-
ceiving a nomination for the Presidency.
The financial sacrifice involved in con-
tinuing in public office was intimatei as
the main reason why he must refuse.
