that the Republicans did not want to fuse Win
them at all on county and borough tickets.
The committee on candidates did not monopo-
fize the friction The committee on principles
also had some. After debating the question TWO
days Chairman Leslie C Ferguson of the com
unittee said there would be two reports on pat
form Mr. Ferguson is Hearst man. He IN
sisted on a plank clearly declaring for 'munlcl-

The other six members preferred municipal
construction and control" The debate over
Ownership" and control" tired out both Sides

minority report.
So great was the fatigue Of the committee on
candidates after its protracted and fruitless ses-
sions Of Tuesday that none of the members
showed UP at the appointed time for the meet
ing yesterday morning at IL o'clock. The rumor
swept through the offices of the Hundred that
everything was of. but this was promptly de-
MED by Secretary Price. who said the committee
would come together at 3 o'clock in the after
noon This turned out to be true.

Fashions in Furs

Fashions in furs are very beauti-
ful. Coat models follow closely
the style of the cloth garments
shown earlier in the season. Some
Of the long coats in pony skin and
baby caracul imported from Paris
are slightly bizarre in cut but the
models now being made up by the
great New York fur houses, while
possessing all the style of the
French furs, are more conservative
in line and also much more becom-
ing to the American figure. Pony
coats are in high favor. They are
made long, in many cases coming
down nearly to the hem of the
skirt and are trimmed with wide
shawl or sailor collars and fastened
by big metal buttons with jeweled
center.

Evening Wraps

Evening wraps can be as simple
or as elaborate as one wishes this
season. Perhaps the most mex
pensive Of the really smart wraps
takes the form of the plain military
cape of broadcloth. These are us
ually unlined and are very pretty
in rose, pale blue, or champagne.
A very stylish and serviceable cape
on this order is of the army blue
trimmed with brass buttons a la
militaire and lined with bright red.
Fur trimmings are seen on many
of the handsomer wraps. Sometimes
there is only a slight touch Of fur,
such as outlining the armhole or
bordering the collar and cuffs and
sometimes the entire wrap is edged
with fur.

These nets can be obtained in all

upper portion heightened by cir
cular hounce, the upper part as
rule is short in the front, reaching
about to the knee, and slopes down
at the back to any desired depth,
even to the hem if desired. The
favored trimmings are bands of net
in floss and trimmed,
as often as not, with sequins of
gold, silver or bronze. Occasionally
gold braid, cord or lace are intro
iuced in these net bands and make
a charming form of adornment.
Contrary to expections these trim
