on to-day's joint ballot Of the Legis-
lature TO elect a United States Senator
! Not greatly discouraged by this, which
had been expected. the Sheehanites set
tied down for a gruellng fight, in which
endurance will be the chief factor. They
assert grimly that they will elect Shes-
han or hold the Legislature here until
the next one is ready to do business.
Murphy is playing fair with Shee-
han: see" declared Tamman! district

They are much pleased To know that
they have made so great an impression
on Nurphv and his followers. The cyclone

Formal Ballots for To-day and Saturday
While there will be formal ballots
taken tomorrow and Saturday. there IS
little or no prospect of any material
change in the situation. A sort Of truce
IS pending. which will end Monday
Murphy and his kitchen cabinet VIII
leave here tomorrow night or saturday
10 return Monday morning, at which time
there may be some new phase OF the
situation. To relieve the overstralned
Legislative temper, the majority ana MI
nority leaders Of both houses got TO-
cether this evening and arranged
series of pairs which will permit many
Senators and Assemblymen who had i'm
perative engagements to be home over
the week end.
In each case a Sheehan Democrat was
paired with a Republican, so that the
proportion Of votes for Sheehan TO the
number Of legislators present on JOINT
ballot will remain the same as II no leg
islators were excused. In the Senate
! Travis was paired with Cronin. New
comb with Pollock Hewitt with Muir
laugh. Emerson with Griffin, Rose with
Stilwen. Argetsinger with Loomis and
| Walters with McManus. In the AS
semhly Allen was paired with E3ielberg
r. X. Smith with Donovan, Ward with
J. Levy. Cross with a. J. Levy, Jesse
Phillips with Wende, Young with War
ren, Waring with Washburn and Shea
with Hearn. Those pairs were for Fri
day and Saturday sessions. For Satur-
days session a pair has been arranged
between Assemblymen Yale and Walter
HerriCk. Only one man has an excuse
TO be away from Mondays session. He
is Assemblyman McElligott paired with
! Brooks, a Republican. McElligUtt is TO
he married on Monday.

with Governor Dix. The political crowd
here tonight says he made a very Wig
Crous effort to get the Governor to coma

mandate should be considered binding
until abrogated by the action Of another
caucus, but he failed. Governor Dix is
on record as saying he never went into a
