LESS MONEY FOR
 EVELYN THAW,
Her Monthly Income Threatened by Bankruptcy Proceedings.

New York. Aug. 12.-Lawyer Daniel O'Reilly, who was one of Harry K. Thaw's counsel during both murder trials and who is now contemplating legal action to prevent Thaw from con- tinulng the bankruptcy proceedings in- stituted in Pittsburg, gave out q state ment in which he said Thaw would be compelled to cut of the allowance of Si,000 a month to his wife. Mrs. Eve lyn Thaw. if he is permitted to go on with the bankruptcy proceedings.
 Tt looks very much as though Mrs. Thaw will not receive the customary allowance of sl,000 the 1st of the month" he said. With Thaw's af- fairs tied up in the bankruptcy court I don't see how he can make any pro- vision for her unless he received money from some outside source. There is no chance of any help of that kind from Mrs. William Thaw." he added.
 Two of Thaw's former counsel tele- phoned Mfr. O'ReIlly. it is said. stating that they would like to join him in the contemplated move in the United States supreme court to sidetrack the bankruptcy proceedings. Mir. o'Reilly told them that he proposed acting to- day for an injunction restraining Thaw from any further attempt to become adiudged a bankrupt and that he pre- ferred to enter the action alone.
 Such an injunction proceeding is most unusual. Mir. O'Reiliy declared 1t was probably the first move of the kind to be made in this state. His ground for asking for the injunction is that Thaw is a lunatie and not en- titled to bankruptcy privileges.

C,onners said to-day that the situation, so far
as the head of the ticket was concerned. stood
exactly where It stood yesterday.
Mr. Ely is a strong man." he admitted IN
answer to a specific query. He said he had not
even considered the question of chairmen OF the
committees.
Borough President Coler of Brooklyn reached
town this afternoon. He said he was interested
especially in two booms-those Of Mr. Ellison
and Congressman Sulzer-
There probably will be two or three contests
from Kings County he said. Il find there Is
a general misrepresentation about the situation
over there We weren't fighting so much
against any particular delegates or district lead
ers as we were to see whether McCarren's man
Woodruff and his Republicans should be sew

ren by his methods has used them"
There will be two contests brought by the
Coler men over the seating Of delegates from
the 9th and 9th Assembly districts 1t is ex-
pected that the CoIer delegates will be seated
from these districts
Though only notice Of contest has been
filed UP to date-for the 1st district Of Chau-

Senator McCarren got here tonight with
Isaac NJ Kapper. his counsel. and Congressman

a talk with Chairman ConnerS Afterward he
said he still was in favor OF the nomination OF
ex-AIayor Adam OF Buffalo, and that Conners
seemed 10 be sticking TO Chanler- McCarren
said he expected two contests-in the 9th and
9th District delegations.
Chairman Conners at midnight announced
that at his interview with MCCarren the Brook
lyn Senator had said he for Adam, OF Buff
faIo and would support him in the convention
"I told him. said Conners, that wasn't for
Adam that was for Chanler, that Erie County's
delegates would be for Chanler. and would vote
for him and nobody else"

BRYAN'S HANDS OFF.
Delegates to Rochester COErention
Nan Fight 1t Ont Themselves.

Buffalo, Sept. 13.-The Democratic National
Committee will make no attempt to influence
the delegates to the Democratic State Conven-
tion in their choice for Governor. nor has VIII
lam ]. Bryan indicated his preference for any
man for the Governorship nomination The
attitude of Mr.. Bryan and the national COM
mittee toward the Rochester convention
made known on the arrival here of Norman f.
Mack from the West Mr.. Mack was accom-
panied from Chicago by Senator Thomas F.
Grady of New York City. who had been on
visit to the Pacific Coast. Senator Grady be-
lieves that the convention should name Mr..
Mack for Governor. but the chairman insists
that he is not candidate and that he has other
work to do Mr.. Mack made the following
statement tonight, in which he defined his posi-
tion and that of the national committee in the
selection OF a candidate for Governor by the
state convention.
The Democratic National Committee has no
candidate that it would like to see nominated
that the strongest man be named. and 1t will
not. through me as its chairman or any one
else. seem in any way to influence the choice Of
the delegates. Mr.. Bryan's attitude is Identical
with that of the national committee. and so far
AS know he has never indicated any preference
of the many candidates named for the office. I
have choice for Governor nor for any offices
on the state ticket All the candidates named
have qualities to commend for the office of
Governor. The national committee expects a
harmonious convention. and l can conceive of no
reason why 1t should not be- I am interested in
the adoption of the state platform especially
with regard to the financial and labor planks
Senator Grady said tonight that Charles F.
Murphy. leader of Tammany Hall. desired that
a strong be chosen for Governor and one
upon whom any existing factions could unite
when his name was presented TO the convention.
To this end it is not unlikely that conference
of leaders will be held before the convention to
agree upon the candidate
New-York tribune., 1908-09-14

The air was full Of talk tonight about the
possibility of influence being exerted from
sources close to the national committee to-mor-
row in favor of Governor Hughes. To ntima-
tions Of this sort the anti-Hughes leaders re-
Piled
We have discounted all that. There is moth
ing to it. No pressure Of the big stick will be
exerted and If it Is it will be without effect
This convention is going to make its own cholce
without federal interference"
A leader who strongly supports the Hughes
side of the situation declared tonight that the
opposition was representing to delegates that
the President would be well satisfied with the
nomination of any good man, any man of the
Hughes sort" He added:
Representations of this kind have been gen
orally made. and constitute the chief peril 20
the Governors candidacy. Not few delegates
have been convinced that the national campaign
management is lukewarm in its support of
Hughes and would be satisfied with the nomi-
nation of any strong candidate"
General Stewart I. Woodford, who placed the
name Of Governor Hughes in nomination at the
Republican National Convention. tonight made
public the following telegram received from
Frederick r. Hazard, setting forth the result
Of postal card canvass of Syracuse:
Last figures show 5,S19 voters for Governor

so strong a run as Mr.. Adam am for him

How about Chanler?"
"T see by the papers, replied the Senator
smiling, that he is mentioned prominently for

Senator Cassidy, who was on the same train
had a long talk with McCarren. From the fact
that NCCarTen and d. c. Robinson, Democratic

THE delegation from my district is perfectly
open to reason" he added. 81 and the rest of
the delegates desire only to do what is for the
best interests of the Republican party. If to-
morrow q situation develops which cOnvinces
me that the interests of the party can be best
conserved by the denomination Of Governor

good Republican"
Senator Cassidy said that he thought the
state would he exceedingly doubtful this fall. as
far as the state ticket concerned. 1t is his
opinion that the national ticket will run ahead
of the state Republican ticket The Senator
seemed also to be of the opinion that the re-
nomination of the Governor would assist the
national ticket.
Assembyman Murphy, of the 10th Assembly
District of Kings said late last night that in

FIXING BRIDGES.
Consolidated Road Will Soon Start
 Work at Bank Street.

Engineer Elwell of the Consol- dated road has notified the city that work will soon be commenced on the strengthening of the Bank street bridge over the Naugatuck river Mir Elwell also states that owing to the shaky condition of the bridge at the knife shop in Waterville he has decided to have that fixed, too, and will expect the city to help out ca the expense The city has agreed to pay half the cost of the Bank street job, which will cost Water bury about $500, but no such under standing has been reached with ref crence to the one in Waterville. Evi- dently Mr Elwell got better prices by having both bridges cared for at the same time and trusted to the city to pay a share of the expense, but whether they will be willing to do this or not is something nobody knows at this time. According to the city attorney the city is obliged to keep it's bridges in repair at its own expense, and if this be so the railroad company is generous if com ing down with half the dust Who says corporations have no souls? But this is Christmas time and prob ably they wouldn't do this at any other season.
