CHANCE FOR SHEEHAN
Senate Vacancy if O'Gorman Is
Named Attorney General.

Much speculation is going on Just now
In Tammany circles over the possibilities
that might arise IL President-elect Wilson
should name Senator OGorman as his At.
torney General
Senator O'Gorman has been prominer tly
mentioned for the place, and there is no
doubt that Governor Wilson feels most
favorably disposed to him for what he did
IN the national campaign as well as in the
convention fight at Baltimore However,
the resignation of Senator O'Gorman from
the Senate would leave a vacancy which
would give Charles r. Murphy the chance
to put in William f. Sheehan as his sue
cessOr.
There is not the slightest doubt in the
mind Of anybody that Murphy will be
able to control the incoming Legislature
and there is a rather general belief that
he would be only too glad to show that
control as we'll as vlndicate himself for
his defeat in the 1910 Legislature By in
slstlng upon the election of Mr.. Sheehan
Governor Wilson, Of course, could not
afford to do anything that would insure
the placing of Mr.. Sheehan I'm the United
States Senate after the bitter and sue
cessful fight MADE against him by the
Democratic insurgents In the Legislature
OF 1910. Any attempt on the part Of the
President-elect 10 dictate whom the New
York State Legislature should chose
would probably be resented by Murphy
and make him more anxious thar ever
to secure the election OF Mr.. Sheehan.
Senator O'Gorman is now I'm Washing
ton. 1t is said here that he aspires TO be-
come president pro TEN. of the Senate, if,
as seems sure, the Senate is controlled
by the Democrats after March T. Tie
chances that so new a member would he
selected for 50 responsia a post, how
ever, are not great.
Political gossips are busy picking a
place for Dudley Field Malone. son-in-law
OF Senator O'GOrman. He has been close
TO Governor Wilson since the pre-con-
ventlon fight, and is ranked as one Of the
Governors close personal friends. Some
think he will be appointed United States
Attorney for this district Others are fg.
urlng that he will become Collector of
the Port. to succeed william Loeb. jr.
Abram l. Elkus is also spoken OF as
United States Attorney, but il is doubtful
II he could be persuaded 10 give m his
lucrative law practice.

MAY OVERRIDE WILSON
Strong Opposition to Accepted
Candidate for Speaker.
rRy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.

BY Telegraph 10 Inc Iflbunfl
Trenton, Nov. 19.-Although Assembly,
man Charles O'Connor Hennessey, of Ber-
gen County, is generally believed to be
Governor Wilson's choice for Speaker Of
the House. there Is a strong probability
that the honor Will go to Assemblyman
Lem" Taylor. of Monmouth County, be-
cause OF the opposition that has developed
to the Bergen Assemblyman.
Mr. Hennessey is being opposed pri-
marily because he is a local optionist,
and this. II is understood, will cost him
the votes Of Hudson, Essex, Passaic and
Union counties, or more than majority
Of the Democratic caucus. While the Will
son adherents are backing Mr.. Hem
Messy, they are by no means opposed 10
Assemblyman Taylor, and II the opposi-
ton to the Bergen Assemblyman is strong
enough 1t would not be surprising II Gov
ernOr Wilson's friends cast their strength
with Mr.. Taylor, rather than fight los
ing fight with Mr.. Hennessey.
Joseph p. Tumulty. Governor wilson's
secretary, was the only Democrat OF
prominence around the State House to-
day, Governor Wilson, National Commit
teeman Hudspeth and State Chairman
Edward T. Grosscup all being ON vaca-
tons. One Of the reasons given for the
opposition to the selection OF Mr.. Hen
nessey as Speaker IS the fear that he Will
bring a local option bill 20 a vote. and
thereby force the members 10 go on rec
ord on the proposition.

FUSION FAILS IN CITY HALL
Allies Unable to Make Rathfel-
der an Alderman.

Republican and fusion members Of the
Board Of Aldermen failed yesterday in
an attempt 20 elect Charles Rathfelder
to succeed John w. Hagenmiller, fusion
member from The Bronx, who resigned
some time ago.
When the regular business had been
transacted Alderman Bryant moved that
a recess Of half an hour be taken in order
that a caucus might be held in regard
to candidates. Alderman Bowling insisted
that the election go over. When Willard
insisted upon having his motion for
recess put, the Democrats walked out of
the room. The thirty-fve fuslonists voted
for the recess.
During the recess there was much
scurrying around in order to insure a
quorum. There were forty members
present when the board reconyened, but
under the charter President Mitchell and
Borough Presidents McAneny and Miller
had no vote on the election Of a member
Alderman Folks nominated Mr.. Rath-
fielder. Alderman Morrison, of Brooklyn,
objected. There are ugly rumors going
around about the member who resigned"
he said. I'VE should find out whether
this former alderman accepted graft or
not. l think the matter should be turned
over to the District Attorney Alderman
Folks himself went with me to see the
New York County chairman in regard to
some affidavits he is said to have in his
possession in regard to the matter. Mind
you, ! do not say that Mr.. Hagenmiler
is guilty. He himself told me this after
noon he would welcome an investigation
of the matter by the grand jury. l only
urge that the matter should be properly
looked into. Until this is done. / do not
think that his successor should be elect

the vote stood thirty-five ayes" and two
noes" just two short of enough to elect

Has No American Branch.
IBy cable to The Tribune.

London, Nov. 19.-The international
Bankers Alliance, controlled by James
Dent, an American, hailing from Chi
cago, has Offices on the second floor Of
a large building at Nos If. is and IS
Bloomsbury street. w. G. Thomas
White, the manager, said the alliance
represented a number Of Continental
banks in London for the purpose Of dis
counting bills here. 1t also advertised
extensively in America and did BUSH
ness occasionally for American firms.
Mr.. White said he had Dents full au-
thority for denying that the alliance
had any representative in America
nor had any company or individual au-
thority TO use the alliances name.
White explained that Dent originally
carried on the business in his awn
name I'm these offices. In March Of last
year he entered into partnership with
an Irishman, James Byrne, but this as.
ISOLATION only lasted three months.
When Dent left Byrne he went 10
offices in Mark Lane-Byrne meanwhile
remaining in Bloomsbury street-and
took a fresh partner named Mathers.
This new partnership existed for only
a brief time. Byrne left for America
and then Dent returned TO the present

DOANE WOULD GIVE SALARY
Offers to Work Without Pay to
Aid the Clergy.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. J

Albany, Nov. l9.-BishOp William CrOs-
well Doane offered to-day to give up his
salary that the clergy OF the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese might receive better
pay. He made the offer at the forty
fourth annual diocesan convention, de-
claring that clcrgymen are receiving low
er salaries than the ordinary day laboreT
gets In wages
Bishop Doane also appealed for greater
aid for widows and orphans Of clergymen
and for clergymen who have passed the
period OF active work. The convention
refused to take advantage Of his offer
The Bishop said:
I wish to make an earnest appeal 10
YOU for the decent support OF the clergy.
They are called upon TO live on salaries
less than day laborers often earn, and
there are no such laborers on earth for
res days In every year They ought 90
have, and they must have respectable
clothes and income enough To keep their
families decently Moreover, they are dis
tressed and harassed by the continual
consciousness that when they die there
Will be only poverty awaiting their
families
The theory OF celibate clergy to make
the ministry less expensive Is I'm the first
place contemptibly mean, and. IN the
next place II IL plainly against the teach
ing of Scripture and the experience OF
history, for II has been a most fruitful
source of dlshonor and disgrace to the
Church.
