Chief Croker said last night that one of the chief
dangers confronting the firemen IN fighting
fires similar this one is the overloaded floors of
the big mercantile buildings. There is doubt
he said. that the floors of a great many buildings
are loaded with a weight that not intended to

weather conditions vary at this time OF the year
it would keep the engines and Water Department

WHY DEMOCRATS ARE HOPEFUL.
Mr, BRYAN Gives Brooklynites Three Rea:
sons-Coler's Guest.

William J. Bryan was In Brooklyn yesterday
afternoon where he attended reception gwen
bv Borough President Coler in the Borough Hail.
There was a fair sized crowd, but not nearly as
largo as was expected. When Mr.. Bryan reached
Mr. CoIer's office, at o'clock he found most OF
the members of the Appellate Division OF the
Supreme Court including Justice Gaynor, ana
large number of local and out of town ooIucialis'
Senator McCarren was not on hand however
In his speech Mr.. Bryan said there were three
things which caused Democrats TO be hopeful or
success this year. They are, according to the
Nebraskan the growth of the support or Demo-
cratic ideals fostered by President Roosevelt' the
unity of the Democratic party and the disruption
of the Republican party, and the growth OF ethical
thought in America
"At last the Democratic party is a unlt, ne

BRACKETT TO WOODRUFF.
Some Coustic Remarks SAYS
League Won't Quit,
Some
TRy Telegraph to The Tribune


Albany. Feb. 2.-Senator Bracket. president of
the Hughes State League moved violently to
utterance to-day by State Chairman Woodruff's
speech before the Richmond County Republicans
last night. He declared that not only would the
Hughes State League not stop its work at the
quest of Chairman Woodruff and his colleagues
but that they could not force the league to sus-
pend operations.
"Wil Niagara stop because some waterbugs get
in the way?' he asked with considerable emphasis
Not only Mr.. Bracket. but Senator SAKE and
others who term themselves bona-fde Hughes men,
still declare the protestations Of Mr.. Woodruff
and Herbert Parsons to their Hughes enthusi-
must be taken with a large grain of salt. SEN
ator SAKE to-day declared his disbelief in the sim
cerity of those party leaders. arguing that true
zeal to make Governor Hughes the Republican
didate for President would be shown by earnest
work-not by attempts to play factonal politics
and ALLEVIATE from the Governor any who were
working in his interest
Mr. Brackets comments on Chairman Woodruff's
illusions to his past political performances were
picturesque. He began by refusing to get into
personal controversy with the state chairman, and
then continued to do just that thing.
"Mr Woodruff is doing the best he knows how.
said Bracket. IF criticise him it is in sorrow
at his limitations rather than in at his pita
bic results Woodruff is one of the by-products
of the Platt machine at time when 1t was at its
worst During a period when personal service TO
Mr. Platt was rewarded by infiiction the
state In the way of Office. Woodruff was infct-
ed. He joke then. He is a joke now. although
he doesn't know it,
woodruff has no more idea of present moment
politics than pre-silauran. Never he dis
satisfied with the Patt method of politics. Never
once did he protest against It On the contrary, he
revelled In 1t and used every power of his office to
repress and defeat those who fought that method as
unspeakable Just at present President Roosevelt is
pleased o use Woodruff errand boy, at which
honor Woodruff, of course, is enraptured. But If
there is In all the state boy of fifteen who doesn
know just wnat is the hope of Woodruff, of Barnes
yes, Barnes. of Albany, the hero of the hurry-up
honorarium letter-of Parsons who doesn't see
what they hope to do by their present stand with
respect to Governor Hughes's candidacy, that boy
IS a fit subject for institution for the feeble
minded Parsons has just been caught with a trea-
sonable letter his person. and Woodruff and
Barnes have just from the White House.

Dental manager for securing Governor Hughes's
nomination most effectively"
Governor Hughes declined to-day to talk politics

ing of campaign manager he replied:
MY consideration has been given entirely to
things widely separated from that subject the
