 Expects to Be Nominated.
 MT. Sheehan would not ampIify this statement tonight, but in discussing it he laid emphasis on the eff and when by commas, as the introduction to a by cammas, as the introduction to g. qualified contingency. In short, he let it be seen that the possibility carried in those three words was not one he expected to confront.
 Murphy Broke News to Dix.
 This agrees with the understanding which his packer, Mir. Murphy, told Governor Dix yesterday. He knew then that MT. Sheehan would mako state ment tonight and he was able to carry to the governor the tenor of that state- ment with renewed asgurance that Mendayss caucus- Moa2d be 'ffee ana uutrammelled In this assurance Mir. CohaIan, who has tho personal SUD- port of many Tanlmany men, reads his chance of success.
 Attitude of Insurssnts.
 On the other hand the insurgents, through their leader, Senator Frank lin D. Roosevelt, has given it to be un- derStood that they will not enter any caucus bipding upon them, in which the choice is liable to be one of which they cannot approve.
