Democratic League Meets To-day
Much interest is being displayed by
legislators and politicians tonight as 10
the probable action of the Democra''o
League, which will hold meeting mere
| Tomorrow, and give reception lot Tue
Governor and Democratic legislators at
night The league, organized as an anu
boss body, fell under the domination u
Murphy 10 the extent Of playing MS
game in getting rid Of State Chairman
Corners. II may be considered In
sense an anti Murphy body now, as sew
eral OF the moving spirits are anu-Snee-
han and antl-caucus when Murphy doin-
mates II. II will be the earnest effort
of leaders Of the league to sidestep any
reference 10 the senatorship situation
Whether this can be done is question:
worrying them considerably. Az an!
rate. anti Sheehan men agree that the
mere presence Of members OF the league
from all over the state will give mnch
moral srpport 10 the anti-Sheehan legls-
|
project TO get Murphy 10 set up some
compromise candidate. This is OF tue
theory that there exists upstate plt-
ter anti. Sheehan. anti-Tammany senu-
ment among Democrats.
Among other Democrats Of prominence
working hard for Sheehan to-day was
State Chairman Huppuch. who, as Inc
Tribune told exclusively this mcrnlng'
/ is an active candidate for Public Service
! Commissioner 10 succeed John ~ Gar
Isle. with Boss Murphy's Endorsement
| Huppuoh's activity is one Of the curious
! side issues Of the senatorship nght II

backing him for Carlisle's place Inc
! fact that the Governor desired Murphy
| Endorsement OF Huppuchs candidacy De
fore deciding to give him the place and
| the fact that Huppuch, coming ont Tor

/ to indicate that the Governor himself
presently will land on the Sheehan SIDE.
OF course Il has not been decided ap-
solutely that Chairman Huppuch VIII get
Carlisle's place Friends Of Mr.. Carlisle
are much angered over Huppuchs aspi-
rations. Some Of them declare his ap-
pointment would be introducing polltlcs
| into the commission for the f1rst time ana
would bring down on the Dix admlnlstra-
ton widespread criticism. as II would ap-
pear to be playing entirely into Murphy :
hands They have not great belief
though. that he will not get the job,
except on the theory that premature
publicity" may have intertered with the
original plans
Huppucn Silent on "N.w job
| Chairman Huppuch was asked tonight
| if he was a candidate for Mr.. Carlisle
| place. He declined 10 discuss the mat
ter. Mr.. Carlisle also refused to talk
about IT, saying the Governor was the
man to do the talking.
! II became known tonight that several
DAYS ago some Of the more Independent
Republicans IN both houses canvasseo
the suggestion of uniting with the anti
sheehan Democrats on some prominent
INDEPENDENT. but abandoned the idea
! from lack Of support. The statements
issued by the various Republican leaders
about this time. IL is said, were called
| forth by this movement.
The seventh Joint ballet for United
! states Senator to-day was an exact du-
plicate Of the sixth, taken yesterday ex-
cept that one more Republican was abb

complimentary vote. All the eleven
Democratic candidates who figured in
the voting yesterday we're left with their
