statement that the proof of the good
faith of the Republicans would be as 10
whether or not they would permit ther
candidates to go on the Gaynor ticket
or not, laid:
"Our action 80 : has been the best
proof Of our loyalty"
Mr.. Koenig did not give Mr. Hare
any satisfaction as to the attitude OF
the Republican nominees toward

Of the leaders and decision reached

matter. g..
More Fusion Ticket Endorsement.
It was stated yesterday that the
leaders in the Gaynor movement would
advise him 10 take all the fusion nom
inees. with the exception of those rep
resenting the Independence League.
These nominees will take no further
action until they have received some
concrete proposition from the Gaynor
managers.
1t seems that Colonel Roosevelt did
not appear before all the fusion candi-
dates for the Board of Estimate at the
Harvard Club on Friday afternoon.
They held their meeting first and dele
gated Borough President McAneny to
represent them in talking with the
colonel. Mr.. McAneny said yesterday
he had talked with the colonel about
the situation in The Bronx. Richmond
and Queens, where the Progressive
party did not accept the fusion selec-
tions for Borough President.
IL told Colonel Roosevelt" said Pres
ident McAneny. that the fusion nomi-
nees for the Board of Estimate other
than Mr.. Mitchell would take no def
mite stand about ti-Tammany nomi-
nations from other source than the
fusion committee until some PROPOSE
ton should actually be made, and until
they should be in a position to judge
what course on their part would best
serve the interests of the city,"
Colonel Roosevelt, at Sycamore Hill,
would not discuss yesterday the con-
ference, further than to deny the state
ment printed in some of the newspa-
pers that he had urged McAneny not
to go on any other ticket.
Mr.. Mitchell is TO have a personal
compaign committee composed Of men
prominent in the business and profess
sional world, with the most skilful
campaign manager who can be OBJ
tanned. The nucleus Of this committee
may be announced in day or two. In
time il will be increased to one nun
dred members. The campaign head
quarters of the candidate for Mayor
will be in offices adjoining the fusion
headquarters, on he fifth floor OF the
Fifth Avenue Building.
William b. StambOugh, chairman Of
the Whitman Independent League,
who sent a message TO President Will
son the other day, saying that Mitchell
must be withdrawn from the fusion
ticket Yesterday wrote TO Mr.. Mitchell
himself
If you are sincere in your statement
that you desire to defeat Tammany,"
he wrote, then why do you persist in
remaining upon the fusion ticket as a
mayoralty candidate when you should
know that you are weakening the
ticket? If you are in the least inter-
ested i'm fusion success you should
knew enough TO withdraw
John J. Hopper said yesterday that a
full meeting Of the city committee of
the independence League would prob
ably be called to iii the vacancy caused
by the declination Of Mr.. Mitchell of
their designation for Mayor. 1t is
known that a number of eloquent mes
sages have been sent to William Ran
dolph Hearst, who is in California,
urging him to enter the fight for the
mayoralty.
