were used. including the Hotel Netherland
Delmonico's. where Murphy used TO meet
the elect, got to be too we'll known. Con
ferences there were frequently interrupted
by men who were simply looking for small
favors. Such interruptions would never dc

PLAN 'UNBOSSED' CAUCUS
Murphy and Upstate Leaders
Hold Secret Conferences.
DIX "HOPES FOR A CHANGE"
Cohalan or Herrick Might Be
Chosen if Insurgents Would
Agree To Be Bound.

Charles F. Murphy has hit on a fine plan
to draw the insurgents into another eau
Gus. which shall be known an 'un-
bossed" caucus. It was said yesterday. and
then 10 pledge them 10 William +. Shce-
han or 10 whatever candidate he and the
interests may decide Will be acceptable in
lieu Of Ny Sheehan.
SO tar MI Sheehan has not consented to
eliminate himself. even TO the extent OF
saying that lie will relinquish his personal
hold OF a score or so Of upstate Legislators
If he should later decide to yield TO the
great pressure being brought 20 bear on
him a secret understanding could he
reached with Murphy whereby a sufficient
number of the Senators and Assembly men
would vote for ard elect another candidate
Mr. Murphy and his advisers were keeping
quiet about this. because II ii were known
that a Murphy man was TO be chosen, even
with Mr.. Sheclan eliminated. the insur-
gents would never consent TO allow sec
ond caucus TO bind them
Charles +. Murphy called on Governor
Dix al the Waldorf soon after noon yeste!-
day. They talked over the senatorship
muddle for an hour. Afterward the Gov
ernor said what he has said every week
for some time-that tho situation seemed
10 be crystallizins and that lie hoped for
a change next week
Mr.. Murphy had nothing 10 say. lie was
said to have told a friend. however. that
things were much as they had been for
some time.
The hope OF breaking the deadlock rests
on the ability Of the regulars to induce the
insurgents 10 enter new caucus. SO far
they have Steadfastly refused. except on
the distinct undcrst anding that Mr.. Shee-
han he eliminated and that they may cs-
tablish a blacklist from which candidates
should not Re chosen. This, Of course, Mr.
Nurply refused fD aCrrc to

cIrgents have said right along that they
would not agree to vote for Mr. 'ohalan.

meet without a Democratic representative

hard with our organization for a long time.
Speaker Frisbie said he did not think
some OF the members OF the Legislature
