.GAYN0R'S MOVE AWAITED
Politicians Wonder if He'll An.
nOunCe Candidacy To-day.
EYES ON MAYORS OFFICE
Chairman of His Nominating
Committee Ready to Indorse
Rest of Fusion Ticket.

VIII Mayor Gaynor announce his indie
pendent candidacy for reelection when
he returns 10 the City Hall to-day? That
was question agitating the minds OF
political leaders of all parties last night
r. Ross Appleton, head of the Gaynor
Nominating Committee. reiterated his
statement that the Mayor would run, but
he had no information as to just when
the personal announcement would lie
made.
Fire Commissioner Johnson was asked
TO act as the Mayors political manager
by the Appleton committee. When asked
if he would accept he said he would be
guided by the Mayors wishes. II was
learned, however that Commissioner
Johnson was active in framing up a
possible slate of candidates to run with
the Mayor. Mr.. Appleton has expressed
the opinion that Controller Prendergast
and President McAneny for President OF
the Board of Aldermen would probably
be indorsed. Commissioner Johnson held
conference with Isidor Wasservogel,
one of the men the Republicans wanted
on the judiciary slate and who was
turned down by the fusionsts.
DR.. Frederick l.. Marshall. who was
the. first choice of the Republicans for
Sheriff, said a representative Of the
Mayor had offered that nomination 10
him on the Gaynor ticket He said he
might take it.
1t was reported that Charles +. Muir
ply was considering Offering Mayor GAY
nor the nomination for chief Judge Of the
Court of Appeals 10 keep him from run
ming independently for Mayor. This was
not generally credited. however, as the
Democrats profess to believe that GAY
nor running on a third ticket would cut
more heavily into Mitchell than into Nc
Call. the Tammany candidate.
Mr.. Appleton said it was foolish to
think that the Mayor could be diverted
from his intention to run for Mayor by
the offer Of a nomination for the Court
Of Appeals.
Mayor Gaynor told me he would run
for Mayor" said Mr. Appleton He
went further and told me ] could an
nounce ii, and that he would make an
! announcement himself within a day or
two.
My idea is 10 go ahead and indorse
the rest Of the fusion ticket as it stands.
District Attorney Whitman and all.
am sure ii is the most popular ticket that
could be named"

son would open Gaynor headquarters in
Times Square at once. The executive
committee Of the Gayuor Committee Of
One Thousand will meet this afternoon.

HOPPER ATTACKS FUSION
Tells Leaguers Committee of
1O7 Threw a Bluff. "

At a meeting OF the Independence
League County Committee, held at Ar
lington Hail. in 81. Marks Place. last
night to designate county, borough and
judicial candidates, John J. Hopper, the
fusion candidate for Register harshly
criticised the committee OF l07, which Sc
ected him
1.-The committee of 107 was self-consti-
tuted. and arrogated to themselves SUI
periority as well as authority. They
threw a great bluff and got away with
il. The trouble was that the Republicans
and Progressives thought that they had
the committee cinched, so they fOolishly
delegated authority TO IT, with the results
now so we'll known
The borough committee designated
Marcus NJ Marks for Borough President,
and Herman Hellenstein. Israel l.. Fem
berg. DR.. =. J. Reardon and Timothy
Healy for coroners. The county commit
tee designated Charles S. Whitman for
District Attorney and William II. Wad-
hams and Charles G. Mott for judges of
the Court OF General Sessions.
There was hitch at the choice OF Will
lam l.. Ransom for a judge of the city
Court James A. Allen, OF the lndepend-
ence League committee. said that Ran
som was only clerk in the Public Ser
vice Commission and was not fitted to
hold the place He proposed Judge Rob
ert L. Luce, Tammany man, who was
appointed by Governor Sulzer 10 the va
cancy in the city Court
When an attempt was made to vote by
calling the roll on the names Of Ransom
and Luce there were several different re-
suits claimed but after considerable
wranglng 1t was found that there was
not quorum present and an adjourn
ment was taken until tonight.

cided what attitude he will take IN re3''u
to a possible Endorsement by the Gay nv
League. The Republicans have no oo'e.

Of the leaders was to indorse the p'o

however. some OF the leaders began "

This caused Frederick c. Tanner leauer

The President is determined that

United States government will not toll

whether he is elected or not. This the
President is expected to tell Congress
tomorrow. with his reasons. 1t VIII
not be good reading for Huerta.
1t has been rumOred that Huerta
would retire now and stand for election
in October. President Wilson seems
convinced that such an election would
serve only TO aggravate the Mexican
situation believing that il would in all
probability be crooked and would give
rise to a further revolt.
The Tribune correspondent learned
to-day something about the reopening
of the negotiations between Mr.. Lind
and Huerta. Mr.. Lind presented the
Presidents proposals 10 General
Huerta and the Mexican President
made his reply rejecting the sugges~
tons. Although the United States
government refused to send in any
further note, or to modify its demands
that Huerta eliminate himself COM
pletely. Mr.. Lind managed TO continue
the conversations on the subject, and
out of this came the hope that the ad-
ministration has been exploiting the
last few days that a solution might be
reached.
After General Huerta sent his reply
10 Mr.. Lind the two had another meet
ing. on the initiative, it rs said OF
Huerta. At that time Mr.. Lind en-
phasized the peril Of Huerta's course
and the exceeding gravity of the situa-
ton. Huerta seems TO have been i'm

most firm and gave some signs of re-
ceding. He made certain counterpart
posals or suggestions which Mr.. LIND
sent to the State Department, where
at administration officials became quite
optimistic, without divulging just why
II is evident, however, that Huerta
despite the signs he has given of weak
ening. has not given in entirely al
though 1t is stated that something Is
expected from Mr.. Lind during the
night which may have most impor-
tant bearing on the situation, anc
which NAV even cause the President tC
