and the 1900 delegates are confronted
with the. problem which seems likely
to lead to a spirited contest on the
convention floor.
Comptroller William A. Prender-
CAST Of New York told his friends he
would do nothing to get the nomina-
ton II it came to him unsolicited he
said, he would accept it, but he felt
the delegates should make their Sc
lection without influence OF any sort.

dates tomorrow. fire..
State Chairman Hotchkiss is said to
have told Comptroller Prendergast in
: conference that it would be .polit-
ically inexpedient" for the comptrol-
Ter to accept the nomination for gov
ernor. Many delegates, Hotchkiss
said. have told him that because Of
Prendergast's attitude on certain
church matters which had come be-
fore him in an official way in New
York, his strength as candidate In
many quarters would be impaired.
Prendergast's friends declared that
Hotchkiss was quietly paving the way
to bringing about his own nomination
for governor, Notwithstanding his re-
ported assertions that he must not be
considered as a candidate.
