GAyNOR HELPS TO GET
FUS|ON|STS ON TICKET
That Is, All but the Two Hearst
Men-He Won't Stand for
Them, Boomer Says.
FALSE PETITION IS FOUND
Being Circulated on East Side,
1t Causes Agitation Among
Mayors Followers, but
No Real Alarm.

It was rtated yesterday by one of the
Gaynor boomers that the leaders OF he
movement hopel { persuade the entire
fusion ticket, with the exception or
Mitchell and the two Independence
League men, TO fall in behind the
Mayor under the emblem Of the shovel.
The Tribune's informant declared
that under no circumstances would the
Gaynor men stand for the two Hearst
men, John j. Hopper, Of Manhattan,
and T.. II. O'Loughlln, Of Kings, who
are running for register In their re-
spective boroughs. Fire Commissioner
Johnson lent color TO this story In a
statement issued yesterday, wherein he
said:
An that we are trying to do is TO
centre our efforts upon preventing
Tammany Hall, which has just .'e-
moved a Governor and whitewashed n
Stilwell and Cohalan, from selling
the present non-partisan Board of Es-
innate and Apportionment."
Johnson said that the people were
willing to return John Purroy Mitchell
TO the Presidency OF the Board of Al
dermen, but that they never had any
idea OF having him supplant Mayor
Gaynor in the executive chair.

MARCH WEATHER.

The month of March, 1913, has
passed into history and the Pacific
coast still holds the banner for fine
weather. Our rainfall has been light,
in fact, over one-half of the rainfall
for the month fell on the Goth and
then measured only -hundredths of
an inch, the precipitation for the en-
tire month being one inch and sixty
two hundredths. Nineteen of the 81
days were rainless, the other IL days
giving precipitation ranging from O1
inch to 80 inches Temperature has
averaged As degrees, the highest be-
ing rs degrees and the lowest 20 de-
grees above zero.
The wind movement has been, as
usual, very light. 1t is questioned
very seriously by residents of our city
II the record of any other spot in the
United States will show as light wind
movement as that of Grants Pass,
Ore. Many people are expecting late
rains again this spring and If these
hopes are realized, then look out for
another bumper crop for 1918.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Invita-
ton was extended today to the DEM
ocratic members of the senate COM
mittee on finance to confer with
President Wilson at 3 o'clock this
afternoon in the presidents room at
the capitol. The tariff bill, so far
as II affects the senate, will be con-
sdered.
The democratic members of the
finance committee conferred with the
president at the white house Mon
day, and although anxious for anoth-
er meeting, were unable to agree
when all could attend. President
Wilson took the initiative this morn
ing when he directed Secretary Tum-
lulty to invite the committee mem
bers to meet with him in the presi-
dents room at the capitol this after
noon.
When the conference adjourned at
4:25 o'clock President Wilson ad-
dressed the newspaper correspon-
dents in the corridor as follows;
81 hope you fellows don't think
this is a national. crisis II is not,
| have been able to do today what
l hope the senator's will permit me
to do freQuently-oonsult with them
on matters Of legislation, The net
result Of the conference has been to
determine that there would be no
serious difficulty in putting through
Legislation needed to fulhn party

TARIFF BILL WORRIES
PRESIDENT WILSON.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Presi-
dent Wilson left the white house at
1857 O'Clock this afternoon to go to
the capitol to meet the democratic
members Of the senate finance COM
mittee regarding the proposed new
tariff bill.
Secretary Tumulty accompanied
the president to the capitol, The vis-
II was accomplished without pomp
or display. The president, guarded
by four secret service operatives,
reached the capitol at exactly 8
o'clock. He was dressed in a gray
sack suit and brown soft hat. The
members of the senate finance COM
mittee wore frock coats.
Senator Simmons welcomed the
party and after Wilson entered the
presidents room the doors were
closed and guarded by the secret SER
vice men, President Wilson is more
troubled than he cares to admit
about the attitude of certain demo-
cratic senators regarding the tariff
bill and is determined, II they try to
kill the bill, that they must do so
openly.

WANT TARIFF BILL
CONSIDERED BY SCHEDULE.

WASHINGTON, April Eight
democratic members of the senate
finance committee today urged the
president to ask the house leaders
to divide the tariff bill, in order that
it may be considered schedule by
schedule. 1t is declared that this
would expedite the disposition of the
measure. Separate bills for each
schedule also are urged. The pres
ident is considering the plan.
The Underwood bill is so drafted
that such division would be easy if
desired. The house democratic cau-
Gus tomorrow will decide on this di-
vision.
