UP TO HUNDRED NOW..
FusiOnists WM Discuss Republican
Ticket This afternoon.

f. II. Outerbridge. chairman of the Committee Of
One Hundred was not willing last night to predict
officially what action his organization would take
the city ticket named by the Republican con
vention. A meeting Of the full committee has been
called for O'Clock this afternoon TO consider the
question
1t is known that William A. Prendergast for Con-
troler and John Purroy Mitchell for President Of
the Board of Aldermen the first choices Of the
Committee of One Hundred Otto T. Barnard had
not been discussed at any great length as a can
didate for Mayor. Conversation with leaders Of
the committee however indicated that Mr. Ban
nard was considered in most favorable light
AS the committee is made up of so many different
elements it is hard predict what will be done at
the meeting this afternoon when it comes to full
tee said to be bound by the action Of the labor
caucus. They demanded a representative Of labor
for one OF the Board OF Estimate places and are
likely TO balk on a ratification of the ticket nomi-
mated by the Republicans.
The special committee appointed by the Repuo-
lican convention to confer with the melAoers on
the fusion conference committee yesterday ex-
pressed a willingness TO nominate Job Hedges for
Mayor If he should prove acceptable to MI out
erbridge and Mr.. SchieHelin. The latter seemed
willing TO withdraw his objection to Mr.. Hedges
but Mr. Outerbridge would not do so. But Mr.
Outerbridge said it would be impossible for him to
speak with authority for the committee on any Of
the names suggested. as there would have to be a
vote OF his committee first.
1t is understood that the Taxpayers Conference
and the Cleveland Democracy favorably dis
posed toward the ticket put up by the Republi-
cans and likely to follow the lead OF the Com
mittee OF One Hundred, If the latter ratifeS the
nominations made at Carnegie Hall.

SKETCH OF OTTO T. BARNARD.

otto r. Barnard. president of the New York
Trust Company. was born in Brooklyn hfty-lve
years ago and his entire life has been spent here
His present home is at No 80 East 5sth street.
Mr. Barnard was member of the Board of Edu-
cation during the administration of Mayor Strong
that being the only public office he has ever held
His preference has been TO devote all his time 20
the institutions with which he is connected. These
include. in addition the New York Trust Com
pany the Charity Organization Society, Of which
he is president: the PrOvident Loan Society of
which he is treasurer, and the American Passl-
metre Company, of which he is secretary He is
ALSO director the Niagara Fire Insurance Com
pany, the Securities Company, the Dolphin lutte
Mills the Herring Hall Marvin Safe Company, the
Mshonrg ShenangO Railway Light Com
pany, the metropolitan Water Company OF Kansas
City the New Hampshire Electric Railways and
the Yale Building Company. He is a trustee of the
United Charities Building
Mr.. Barnard graduated from Yale in 1876
and from Columbia Law School in 1878. For several
years he was president Of the Yale Alumni Associ-
alton in New Nofk He is a close friend OF Presi-
dent Taft and ex- President Roosevelt He has
always been identified with the Republican party
and has been treasurer OF the New York County
Republican Committee He has been an active
member of the Republican Club for a long time.
Mr. Barnard of the first men suggested
candidate for Mayor by the Republicans
when the makeup of the city ticket was first dis
cussed in the spring. But II understood that
Mr.. Barnard would not consider the nomina.on
time the mention Of his received favor
ably on all sides Certain friends have been con-
tnually urging that II was his duty to accept the
nomination. but Mr. Barnard said he would rather
the fusion forces agreed some other man. and
he would stand behind and work he had done
I'm all movements for good government and in the
interests of the city for many years
Some members of the fusion conference thought
that possibly Mr.. Bannards connection with the
Republican organization treasurer might initiate
E,rf ~
explained thar MT. Barnard had never been mixed
up in faCtional politics and that the treasurership
Of the committee did not imply a connection with
the organization which would initiate against in
dependence Of action Mayor should he be elected
that office
Mr.. Bannard's preference for business over poll
ties has kept him, in way, out of the larger pub
lie eye, but in the circle of who direct the
destnes of the city's largest affairs he holds high
place. His friends believe that, being both finan-
cier and lawyer he possesses the important quail
fcations required for a successful administration
of the City's affairs

at a low ebb and that for its part 1t pledged
another one of those overwhelming majorities

The principal witness yesterday in
