1o.,sort of the borough OF Manhattan; plat
sorn conforming in large measure with the eN-

-, rotar,.nce 10 the municipal construction and
.,n.rol of subways-in nutshell that was the
s,sion nolitical situation last night after an
ou-da1 session Of the committees on candidates
and principles
I'VE have been in almost continuous session
-, . o'clock this afternoon" said Chairman
o,,ayhridge OF the committee on candidates
,os, night. "and we are a good way from agree
IN n candidate The only thing that we
..ao-, "a agree on unanimously is fusion. We list
p. .noa all the afternoon 10 views of organizations
- aaleqates interested in fusion victory and
,,,er rnunicipal government. As many men
we're advocated by the various delegations ana
sr.sl,ers as there have been candidates men
,ioned IN the newspapers. There was no par
.icular concentration on any one man
.Iyhat about a labor man on the ticket!
.Tba labor people were before US for two
nours and they talked with great earnestness
and clearness think II is generally conceded
that they made a favorable impression. Just
~ What extent their expectations will be real
,zed is a matter Of conjecture at this time.
There is little or no prospect OF an agreement
an a candidate or set of candidates until to-
morrow. The prospect is good, however for a
strong ticket"

third one for the day-one Of the conferrees said:
Put the names Of Stimson. Whitman and
WINS in a hat and draw out one name with
your eyes shut, and you are likely 20 strike II.
No one can come any nearer than that
At the conference last night significant ques-
tons were asked about the age and physical
ability Of Mr. Wins 20 Withstand the hardships
of a bruising campaign AS nearly could be
learned unoffcially the line up last night seemed
20 be:
For stimson-Outerbridge and Schieffelin
For Iyins-Gehring and Harvier.
For Bennet-Parsons.
For Whitman-Woodruff.
WOODRUFF CLosETED WITH WINS?

hours with Mr.. WINS yesterday. but Mr.. Wood
rur would not confirm the report.
Al the session last night it said that the
n0mination of John J. Hopper either for Presi-
cent OF the Board OF Aldermen or President Of
Manhattan Borough would not please the organ
i,ed labor representatives as Mr. Hopper had
had more or less trouble with the labor leaders.
