Braves Do Not Look for Any
Break in Deadlock Soon.

In regard to the report from Albany yes
terday that Mayor Gaynor had written &c
Governor Dix commenting on the serious
ness OF the senatorial deadlock and suG'
gesting way out of the difficulty, 1t was
said at the Mayors Office yesterday after
noon that nothing was known OF any such
letter The Mayor himself went 10 his
country home at st. James In the morning
and did not expect TO return before Mon
day.
Tammany men in the city last night were
interested in the rumors that Governor Dix
and Mayor Gaynor had Joined hands 10

Sheehan kept himself in the race Charles
F. Murphy would stick to him The Tam
many Hall men profess to believe that the
public feeling that will be aroused because
New York state is not represented by a
Senator TO take the place of Senator Depew
will be largely directed at the insurgents.
At Tammany Hall yesterday Mr.. Murphy
said he did not anticipate any change in
the situation for the present
