Albany, N. Y., March 13.--Plans for a conference on the senatorial ques- tion at the executive mansion tonight between Governor Dix Mayor Gaynor of New York and Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tamnany Hall, were upset by the failure of MT. Murphy to reach Albany today, as he had planned, and as 9 result the three will not meet un- til tomorrow.
 Dix and Gaynor Talk 1t Over.
 The absence, of the Tammany leader, however, did not prevent a thorough discussion of the situation by Governor Dix and Mayor Gaynor within the se-. clusion of the mansion tonight, and it is not impossible that they may. have some solution of the yexed problem to present to Mir. Murphy at tomorrow's conference. i...
 Chairman Mack Unable to Attend.
 Determined to bring about a settle ment of the deadlock, if possible, Gov ernor Dix on Saturday invited Mayor Gaynor, Mir Murphy and Norman E. Mack, chairman of the democratic na- tional committee, to come to Albany ito talk over the. situati ton. The mayor and the TaTnmany leader accepted, but Chairman Mack sent word that he was in i'll health and expected to leave for Hot Springs today to recuperate.
 Murphy Missed His Train.
 Mayor Gaynor, with Mrs. Gaynor, ar rived here this afternoon, and the gov ernor's military secretary escorted them to the executive mansion. MT. Murphy was not on the train. He sent word that he had missed a train at his home in Good Ground, l.. l., and as the roads were in bad condition he would not be able to leave New York until some time during the evening, when he would take a train for AL bany which would arrive about mid night. Under the circumstances, MT. Murphy said he would spend the night at the Ten Eyck hotel and would see the governor and the mayor tomor- row.
 Mr and Mrs. Gaynor and MT. Muir phy had been invited to be over night guests at the mansion.
 Gaynor Volunteered to Assist.
 On Wednesday last Governor Dix re- ceived letter from Mayor Gaynor in which he volunteered his assistance in bringing the deadlock to an end. "The contest is a great distraction, the mayor wrote, and 1t has always seem ed to me that they should come to- gether as men do in all affairs of life, and talk it over and yield a little here and there and come to an agreement. Why cannot that be done ?''
 Governor Called the Conference.
 The following night the governor conferred with the mayor in New York leaving next morning for his Ad- irondaok camp. On Saturday he de- ci led to suggest conference and call ed his secretary, John A. Mason. on the telephone from the camp. At my direction said the governor tonight, '.Mr. Mason extended the invitations to Mayor Gaynor and MT. Murphy, which were accepted. Mr. Murphy l invited as the leader of Tamnlany Hall. Mayor Gaynor as prominent democrat. and MT. Mack in his capac- 3ty as national committeeman"
 The governor said. he had not invit- eG Winfield X. Huppuch as chairman of the democratic state committee, be- cause Mr. Huppuch has resigned.
 Has No Candidate in Mind.
 Governor Dix said before leaving for the mansion after the arrival of the mayor ,i1at he had so particular candi- date in mind to suggest to the confer ellce, and so far as he knew the mayor had no intention of advocating any particular candidate.
