Prendergast Too Busy.

Mr.. Straus seemed TO think that the
complaint Of Controller Prendergast was
due to the fact that ne personally had
not been named, for in his morning
speech Mr.. Straus said:
would have been delighted to have
appointed Mr.. PTendergast on that com
mittee, but did not, out Of consideration
for his health ] realized that the COM
mittee had considerable work TO do, and
that aside from his official position, he
might give more time than his strength
and health would allow.
The first half hour was devoted TO a
discussion OF organization. Chauncey j.
Hamlin said that in Erie they had organ
lied club with many committees 20
watch the work of the various city and
state departments.
Hector NJ. Kitchens suggested that a
state chairman and the chairman of each
county committee be elected to spend
their entire time in the work, and be paid
accordingly.
This met with considerable opposition.
Although it did not come up In the
meeting there was much quiet talk as TO
whether Mr. Hotchklss would be able TO
-s-t'nue az state chairman. He has ac-
{ d the presidency OF casualty insur-
company. and. OF course. viii be un-

the future.

PPOGRESSNES LEAVE
FUSION QUESTION OPEN
Woodruff Introduces ReSOIu-
ton, but Suggests That
No Vote Be Taken.
HE FAV0RS HOME RULE
Roosevelt Opposes Combina-
ton with Other Parties in
Legislative Matters, Such
as Senate Contests.

Just what attitude the Progressive
party will take on the question of fusing
with other parties and organizations on
a municipal ticket in the next election
was left for determination next spring
by the conference yesterday of members
of the state committee and the county
chairmcn al the Holland House.
resolution prepared by a special COM
i,ting of Timothy l., Wood
..u.. Kings County chairman; Francis w.
Bird New York County chairman, ard
Judge Virgil X kellogg, which would
have prevented any fusion anywhere in
the state on any nominations, was, at
the suggestion Of Mr. Woodruff himself,
not put to vote There were no pro-
tests against postponing action.
Colonel Roosevelt, addressing the Pro-
pressives I'm the morning, had declared
himself against fusion to the extent that
he did not believe any Progressivcs
elected 10 state legislatures should ally
themselves in action with the members
Of either Of the old parties.
The colonel probably had in mind the
hopes Of the Democrats that they may
be able TO elect men TO the United States
Senate I'm several states with the help
of Progressive members Of the legisia-
lures when he said
Il now stand IN the ranks with my EEL
low Progressives, and what / am saying
must be taken as a bit Of advice from
man I'm the rank.
But speakiul DIS a man in the ranks
] most earnestly hope that in no legisla-
ture assembled In which the PTogressiVes
have a representation Will there be any
submission 10 either OF the old parties
should they desire to combine the men
Of the Progressive party with their party
organizations.
Let them choose whom they will to
send to the Senate or anything else.
What arrangements they choose, let
them make those arrangements them
selves. between themselves, and let US
stand aloof, keeping undinchingly TO the
principle. we put down in the last cam
paign and showing by our works the
faith that is In US"
81 move that We take up the question
of fusion and talk about 1t for an hour

calendar was being prepared in the after
noon.

mo Such Word as Fusion"

There is no such word as fusion in
the Progressive vocabulary" said Mr..
Hotchkiss. Let us call IL cooperation"
81 was appointed a member Of special
committee with Mr.. Bird and Judge
Kellogg to draft a resolution on the sub
ject Of cooperation with other organiza-
tons I'm future campaigns" said Mr..
Woodruff. I'VE prepared the following:
Resolved, That no union, coalition or
fusion be made by the National Progress
sive party of the State OF New York, or
by any local organization or unit thereon,
with any other party, party organization
or party unit thereof without the consent
and approval of the state committee, or
the executive committee of the said state
committee OF the National Progressive
party, and that no action looking forward
10 such coalition, fusion or union be taken
without like consent.
Upon the completion Of this resolution
at the morning session" Mr.. Woodruff
continued, members of the committee
consulted with others We found a great
deal of dissent.
Should Practise Home Rule.
1--WE have preached home rule, and
believe. we should practise f. To leave
TO the state committee two-thirds of
whose members come from outside this
city the great problem of a municipal
ticket here next year, I believe would
have a bad effect and be harmful to our
party Such a decision would mean that
we could have no fusion without the con-
sent Of upstate men,"
There was informal discussion Of fusion
during the luncheon hour Upstate men
were against it on general principles.
oscar L. Straus took a neutral ground,
Henry l.. Stoddard, Henry Moscowitz
and others are said to have opposed
tieing the party down 10 no fusion in
municipal elections.
Controller Prendergast, who has come
out strongly in favor Of fusion, and de-
clared that any man who thinks Tam
many Hall can be beaten in a local cleo
ton without fusion was a mental de-
fective, was not present He is at Lake
wood. on the advice OF his physician.
His complaint that Kings County was
ignored by Mr. Straus In appointing the
legislative committee Of nine was needed
yesterday when Robert II. Elder, OF that
county, was named In place of Herbert
T. Cook, Of St Lawrence, who was I'M
able to serve.
a majority OF that committee met yes
terday and added six others TO their
numbers. The names were not an
nounced, however, pending their accept.
