Palm Beach. Fla, Feb. T.-Richard
Croker and w. J. C'Fingey'O Conners. Of
New York. and Mayor John r. Fitzgerald
Of Boston got together after church yes
terday for d little chat. Naturally. their
conversation drifted 10 the New York sen
atorial light.
Mr.. Corners said: They ought 20 pull
sheehan out, he aln't got q chance, any
way" Mr.. Croker affirmed this by nod
OF his head, and then remarked: "Shee-
han has never done anything for the party.
and I don't see why he doesn't withdraw.
rather than annihilate the New York City
Democrats. This is national issue. as
well as one in which the New York City
Democracy is liable TO be shaken"
Things are coming TO a pretty pass,
said Mr. Conners, IF we nave got TO LEI
twenty men dictate, but that is just the
case now"
Mr.. Croker said that OF the twenty who
were against Sheehan sixteen had never
been reached you mustn't think that all
the New York Democrats can be wheeled
into line in an Issue OF this sort unless the
situation is thoroughly discussed before
hand" he said. THAT is just what was
rot done this year"
Something radical has got TO be done
right away" said Corners. TO prevent 3
calamity that is bound TO affect the Dem
ocrats in New York City, the state and the
country, and Murphy can do that II he will
stop pushing Sheehan and let him drop
out of the contest"

night were forced 10 lay aside the bill pro-
viding that where deputies are designate

gent Democrat, said Il would work a great
hardship IN the case of Duchess County,

tcawan is under way. That was an in
vestgation of state officers by state off,
GERS, he said and the state should bear the
expense, which would not be the case II
