McCooey Expects Compromise.

John H. McCooey. leader of the Kings
County Democracy, who was in Albany
to- day. said he expected that a COM
promise agreeable TO both sides would
be reached within short time.
The fact that Boss Murphy in New
York gave out another statement OF his
ardent and never failing support Of
Sheehan is taken here as indicating that
a final arrangement for smashing the
deadlock has not been manufactured
quite yet Among others the Governor
Ia liked to-day with Francis Lynde Stot-
son. who in various ways has been
backing the insurgents In their attitude
Of opposition TO Sheehan. They dis
cussed methods OF bringing the dead
lock TO an end.
\ story was started on the rounds TO-
day that the insurgents had subm .cI
