To begin with. the nominating COM
mittee OF the Fusion Committee OF 1917
held meeting in the office Of George
W. Wickersham, 40 Wall street, and
went over the situation. State Senator
Ogden L. Mills. chairman of this com-
mittee, who is going to France. was not
present, and Mr.. Wickersham was made
temporary chairman. Probably he will
be made permanent chairman.
The only announcement made at thS
conclusion OF this meeting was that NO
definite action had been taken. AS to
candidates, not a word, for the very
simple reason that the only candidate
being considered by this committee is
Mayor Mitchell, who is waiting for the
psychological time to announce his cam

That the Smokeiess Coal Operators

yesterday at the trial before Federal

Mr.. Burrowes also painted the Gov

LEWIS HUNTS ICE CONSPIRACY
brooklyn Prosecutor scents Crime
In Price Raise,

District Attorney Lewis in Brooklyn
yesterday announced an intention OF dis
covering whether there is a conspiracy
In this county to increase the price of
ice."
Wholesale dealers in Brooklyn have
added 81 a ton to the cost OF manufac-
tured ice. the charge now being 81 OF
course the retail dealers have followed
suit and as a result the five cent piece
Of Ice faces extinction.
Seven cent" the corner Italian says
"a ten cent piece?"
He shrugs his shoulders depreca tingly
Fourteen cents now"
"If proof Of conspiracy is available
prosecution will follow at once" added
Mr.. Lewis, 1T is my opinion that the
increase comes from concerted action.
This has the earmarks of conspiracy"
Scathingly he said:
Those who engage in unlawful COM
bination to raise the price of ice, indis-
pensable in these hot days, are as much
our enemies as our foes abroad"

Full Ticket Favored.

But the committee did discuss two i'm
portant angles of the situation. One
was whether the Fusion COMMITTEES
should nominate candidates for all Of
fees, including city and counties or con-
fine itself to the Board of Estimate. The
other was the Cropsey situation in
Brooklyn.
The opinion seemed to be in favor of
nominating candidates for all the Of
fees that are to be filled this year, in
cluding the District Attorneys, Sheriffs,
Registers, County Clerks and a number
OF judgeships. Thb matter will be dis
cussed more in detail at the next meet
ing OF the committee.
There was no denying that many OF
the members OF the nominating commit
tee are extremely apprehensive over the
defiant attitude of some of the Brooklyn
Republican leaders. who insist that JUS
tlce Cropsey run in the primaries for

In this event the Brooklynites will
