HOPES OF SHEEHAN MEN
Continued from first page.

the Sheehan men wish. We believe tha'
the Governor is with us, in spite OF his
attitude OF nom n-interference.'
Montgomery Hare, the principal repre-
sentative here of Edward NJ Sheparo
said tonight: whatever doubts l may
have had last week. am sure now. MI
sheeban cannot get enough insurgen'
votes to win"
The insurgents have had a secret
agreement which they signed al the DC
ginning OF their fight, sort OF deeia's- :

AGAINST Sheehan's election even II Ho'-
ernor Dix should advocate his election
publlcly. Since the announcement oy
The Governor that he would appoint
state Chairman Huppuch 10 the upstate
Public Service Commission. following
Hunpuch's statement in favor or Shee-
han many Of the insurgents have been
expecting the Governor TO come out TOT
sheehan. They argue that II Murphy
had influence enough with Huppuch 70
get the Sheehan statement out OF MIN
and then influence enough with the Gov
ernor so that his Endorsement won the
$4,000 Job for Huppuch. he surely
ought to be able TO swing the Governor
into line for Sheehan.
Governor Talks with Murphy.
The Governor had talk with Boss
Murphy to-day but he said the Sen"
atorshir was not discussed. Governor
Dix said his own position was unchanged
and he hadn't got into the situation as
mediator. The Governor. his friends de-
clare. Is considerably exercised over the
legislative situation arising from the
senatorship deadlock. Not only is 1t de-
LAYING legislative business. but II is de-
veloping frayed tenpers and spirit OF
bitterness which does not portend much
good for important legislative measures
| If they come up when there still is a
deadlock.
The Governor. for instance, wants
prompt action on his good roads rec
concentrations and his projected finan.
cial reforms. lie intends TO send In
special message urging haste on these
matters. Yet indications are that in the
present temper of the legislators any
discussion OF the scheme 10 wipe out
the State Highway Commission would
be disastrous for the Governors scheme.

hold Murphy 10 his agreement with the
/ candidate and that individual doesn't
take himself out OF the fight, the dead

summer Murphy dare not shelye Shee-
han, even if he wanted to. with "the
interests" sticking TO him. Moreover.

who have veto on his mandates.
Murphy's Hands Are Tied.
Some Of the anti-Sheehan men havs
an idea that Murphy, because OF this,
isn't any tco we'll pleased with Wall
Streets renewed determination 10 elect
Sheehan. They don't see tust what he
can do about H. for nobody can picture
Murphy opposing the powers that sup
ply the campaign funds. His talks with
anti -Sheehan men, though. are held 10
indicate a restiveness and desire 70
get the deadlock smashed in some fash
ion. even by the elimination Of Sheehan,
II he doesn't have 10 take the active
part in that. There were reports abroad
tonight that some sort of a settlement
might he effected this week. They
didn't seem 10 win much general cre-
dence.
A handful Of upstate legislators who
have been voting for Sheehan said to-
day that II the deadlock held until
Wednesday they expected to send
delegation TO the Governor to point out
their conviction that Mr.. Sheehan's cleo
ton was Impossible and ask him to in
terfere for the good Of the party.

said they regarded this change as sig

groomed as a compromise candidate and

chances of being acceptable to all sides
would improve If the idea that he was
