going an operation for appendicitis in
ST. Luke's Hospital yesterday morn

summer home at Tuxedo Park. his sis
ter, Mrs. Henry Winthrop Gray, like
wise was seized with an attack Of ap-
pendicitis at her home, at Newport, and
hurried TO the Newport Hospital.
The coincidence of the two attacks
was the more remarkable since neither
Mr.. Frelinghuysen nor Mrs. Gray
knew of the plight OF the other until
after the operations yesterday. That
on Mr.. Frelinghuysen was highly sue
cessful, and his rapid recovery was
predicted last night.
The appearance Of his Illness was so
sudden that none of the servants al his
town house had heard Of it, although it
was understood that he had called
there on his way 10 the hospital on
Thursday afternoon. He went 10 the
institution unattended. Mrs. Gray re-
covered from her operation and spent a

38,500,000 Chances for Flush
ing to Eat Crabs.

Eleven female crabs, each carrying
3,JO.0OO eggs, it was estimated, were
liberated yesterday in the waters of
Flushing Creek, Flushing, under the
direction Of Charles T.. Quinlan, OF the

Mems Association of Flushing.
The crabs were provided by the state
hatcheries at cold Spring, Long Island.

the number OF eggs for which each
female crab is supposed to be respon-

million crab fry and one thousand

The fishermen OF Flushing by this
means hope to restock the waters IN
that vicinity, where in recent years the
crabs and fish have been killed off by

ninth ballot.
John Purroy Mitchell was selected by
the fusion committee as it's nominee
for Mayor q few minutes after 2o'cIoek
this morning.
After the nomination OF Mitchell the
secretary of the meeting was instructed
70 cast a single ballot for the ticket |
which he headed.
MitchePs selection came after the
ninth ballot, when he got 45 votes, to
43 for Charles S. Whitman. Without
another ballot the nomination was
made unanimous on motion Of Joseph
M. Price, the McAneny manager.
The taking of the ninth and deciding
ballots created veritabe riot in the
meeting. and because OF the excitement
il took over a half hour to count the
vote.
After the ticket had been nominated
il was voted that the Executive Com
mittee should have the power OF nam
ing the judiciary and county ticket and
the getting up of petitions. The plat
form was then passed and the meeting
closed. The Executive Committee will
meet next Tuesday afternoon.
In the first roll call on the ninth bal
lot the voting proceeded practically
along the same lines as had the previ-
ous ballot. when McAneny still retained
his block of twenty one votes. but be-
fore the vote was announced there came
the long expected break in the ranks or
the McAneny men, and they began to
ump up all over the room, with de-
mands that their votes be changed.
First Drift to Whitman.
The first drift Of this receding Nc
Aneny wave was all in favor OF Whit
man. and the Mitchell men yelled de-
mands st Chairman Hapgood that he

Pounding his cavel on the desk for
order. Hapgood announced that he
would rule that any man could change
his vote before the vote was an
nounced, and the Mitchell men yelled
back that he was using unfair tactics
and called for an announcement OF the
vote Hapgood stood firm, however
refused to announce the vote. and ac-
cepted all properly announced changes
Henry l.. Stimson called for new
rollcan, as the best method of clearing
things un. but declared al the same
time that any man had the right 10

President Really Optimistic.

That the President in deprecating any
expressions IN the public prints which
seemed to emphasize the gravity of the
situation was inspired by anxiety lest
too frank discussion might OF itself ag-
grayate that gravity and so felt II his
duty ia minimize the seriousness of
the conditions. has been the impression
generally entertained by those whose
duty is TO make known the Presidents
views. During the last twenty-four
hours however. the President has made
II perfectly plain that he Is actually
imbued with the optimism he has
sought to inspire. Whether the Presi-
dent realizes the extent To which the
legislators differ with him is not made
clear.
Discussing recently the fact that GER
tain foreign powers had communicated
ia this government the views OF their
diplomatic representatives in the city
Of Mexico the President has assured
his friends that there vas nothing for
mai about these communications and
that the respective governments were
careful To make It clear that they were
merely conveying information and not
expressing opinions of their own.
Some Of those who have made con-
siderable study Of foreign relations as
sert that in this respect the President
attaches undue importance 10 the
niceties OF diplomatic language, and
that he fails to appreciate that the

The selection Of pieces at Mrs. Hanan's

that It was a hurried job. Mrs. Hanan

India pearls that could not have been

I'm such form as TO fall far short Of
conveying an adequate conception OF
the situation.
1t is obvious that the basis for the
wide divergence of view between the
President and his colleagues in Con-
gross is the optimistic view entertained
by the former, as compared with the
gravelv pessimistic view OF the latter.
That the leaders in Congress entertain
serious alarm over the situation and
put little hope in the success Of any
form Of mediation is demonstrated by
the various steps looking TO prepared
ness for the worst which are being taxi

attended with all the secrecy with
