DEMOCRATS TO CAUCUS
 AGAIN FOR SENATOR
Governor Dix Hopes Conference
 Will End Deadlock.

A Democratic conference on the New fork senatorial question, including both regulars and insurgents, is being held in the assembly parlor at Albany today.
 At once rumors flew about the capi- tai that sufficient insurgents to elect William F. Sheehan to the senate had been won over by Murphy. While there was some doubt about that, the conference was looked on with the greatest significance. and the call was a full confirmation of the statement made during the past three days.
 It was at first supposed that Murphy had induced Governor Dix to come out in open advocacy of the claims of MT. Sheehan, but it was impossible to yer ify that report at once. Nevertheless it was considered likely that a break in the insurgent ranks has come and that in the conference some one of the men who have long held out will make an announcement of a change in posi- ton
 Governor Dix made a formal state ment in which he said that he not only hoped, but expected, that the confer ence would result in the solution of the senatorial problem.
