CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Selling for profits
assumed liberal proportions in the wheat
market today owning to a heavy move
ment, both present and prospective in the
northwest. The market closed weak, with
prices off l-25-Sc. Corn, oats and pro-
visions were also weak.
Business in the wheat pit was of an
evening up character, as is usual preced-
ing a holiday and holders being more
anxious 10 sell than shorts wera TO buy,
prices steadily declined all day. The chief
influence was the situation in the north
west. Receipts at Minneapolis and Dd-
luth were enormous, the total arrivals to-
day at the two points being 765 cars,
against al the corresponding day a week
ago, and il was predicted that the receipts
grogate from 2OO0 10 $500 cars. Despite

buyers and sellers could not get at in time

result that at the close OF the week the
market here on sheep is generally quoted
around 2GG30c lower on the general run OF

as 40 per cent. On the other nand' SOM

GAYN0R MAY BE CHOICE.
Bryan Said to Favor Brooklyn Jurist for
Democratic Governorship Nomination.

Friends Of Charles F Murphy. leader of Tam
many Hall, said last night that he had decided to
keep in the background in the selection OF candi-
date for Governor at the Democratic convention in
Rochester. He is said to have expressed himself
anxious TO give all the candidates show in the
convention.
This reported determination the part of the
Tammany boss may be due to the pressure of the
national leaders who particularly anxious that
the state ticket here Shall not be one upon which
the stamp OF either Murphy Conners may be
placed This fact will initiate against Lieutenant
Governor Chanler who has been consistently
boosted for nearly year by Corners
Those who have Mr. Bryan recently say he
has expressed the hope that Justice William J. Gay
might head the state ticket this year. Murphy
has been opposed to Justice Gaynor the ground
that he a friend OF Senator McCarren. but 1t Is
possible that the announcement that Mr.. Murphy
will not force his preferences at Rochester
means that he will make no objections to Gaynor

missioner Bingham. made public yesterday part
of the proceedings of the conference which lasted
until nearly o'clock yesterday morning.
The outcome of the conference. DIR. BIaustein

There were present at the meeting Saturday

DOUGLAS MEN EXPLAIN.
afraid Anti-Mack Ticket W0uld
Haze 4ided Quigg Faction.

Followers of ex-Congressrnan William H. Doug
las who put up ticket against Harry w. Mack,
the organization Republican leader of the 18th
Assembly District. and then withdrew it, issued a
statement last night giving their reasons for so
doing.
1t is understood that it is the plan of the
Douglas followers vote the Mack ticket after
scratching the name of Mr.. Mack at the top. This
may result the defeat of Mr.. Mack, even should
the remainder his ticket be elected. and the cleo
ton of Leslie s. L,ockhart, who heads the opposi-
ton ticket placed in the field by the Conservative
Republican Club, the Quigg organization
A member of the Douglas faction said yester-
day that under the present primary law this would
probably mean that Mr. Lockhart would be de-
cIared to have been elected executive member
from the district, but the other members of the
district committee. being members of the regular
organization, would be able to prevent the con-
troll of the district by L. E. Quigg.
Mr. Mack is confident that he win, even
should the Douglas followers scratch him. Some Of
those who have supported the Douglas ticket may
vote the entire Lockhart ticket but it is not be-
lieved that the number will be large, for years
they have been opposed to the domination OF Quigg

being sent to all enrolled Republicans in the dis
trict, say:
Although Mr.. Mack has been our leader for two
years, and therefore, mas nau ample y,
he has sgnally failed to bring about even sem
blance of party unity in the district. He has not
built UP the district organization, and by his lack
of judgment and domineering ways has driven
away from participation in political affairs a
jority of the men who made him politically what
he is.
The statement accuses Mr.. Mack of having en-
tered into negotiations with the Conservative Club
whereby certain number of the latter's captains
to be recognized and OF visiting the office
Mr.. Quigg in attempt "to make deal with
him"
Regarding this Mr.. Mack said last night that the
only proposition he made TO the Conservative
Club that he and Mr.. Lockhart should make up
a ticket which would be used only in case the ex-
ecutive committee OF the regular organizat tion
should approve OF it.
The statement says that the Douglas ticket has
been withdrawn because 1t had been found to be
impossible TO perfect organization and reach the
