 There will be another caucus of delegates at six o'clock tonight in the High school before the convention is reopened. In the meantime the town. committee is in session at the ALgon quin club, but it is not thought thai they will be able to accomplish yer much the way the situation standsS missioner Arthur Connor, William Northey, w. D. Fitzpatrick, Theodore Steiber, and William Chew, was held in the Mayors office this morning to. would state what had been talked over at the gathering.
 The boom for Edward T. Hamilton is an interesting one and one which may bring about a surprise at the convention. Outside of Wilson he would appear today to be the only man who has any sort of chance foF- the nomination, although a certain element, almost all Voters League men, are still working hard in behalf of Edward c. Spargo., The latter, however, will be unable to gain any outside strength. Hamilton, however, may be able, to gather enough votes 10 swing the convention if things develope favorably for him in the next few hours.
 Mathew Rogers, delegate from the Seventh district on the Voters League ticket, is understood to be an ardent packer of Hamilton. and he is said to be bending all his ef- forts toward getting the League to support him. Hamilton until re- gently was an administration man.l and it is more than likely that hej would be able to pick up several our-} side votes, with the league behindl him. Of course 1t is not yet sure that the league will give him their enl dorsement. To do so would mean d compromise from the position that they. have taken, and many of them still stand out for absolutely no cons promise. It is understood that they demand control of the office of mayor and also of the tax office, and the politicians are not going to sur render if they help it.
 The administration men feel that. the fight for the head of the ticket is practically over and that all the fill up the minor offices in the best way possible. Some go so far aSu to say that an entirely new slate wily be named with almost all the present. office holders left out in the reorgar-s ization. This is all guess work, how-s ever, and is largely discounted by a great many leaders That the wom-% en are vigorous in their demands for some sort Of representation and are likely to get at least one office is be- coming more probable all the time. Miss Jenson. of Tax Commissioner Connor's office, is still the leading C-n daf SI1 ic it will probably be for the post of tax collector.

Y
 < Giants and Giant fans expected to see the series concluded by nightfall despite the fact that the Yankees were desperate and sure to go in fighting Y like wildcats to square things with the National League champions.
 Art Nehf, McGraw's slender south paw was ready to face the .Hugmen flor the third time and eager for bat ltle. Nehf has pitched and lost two gar1es to the Yankees who had, young Waite Hoyt in the box against him on each occasion
 Nehf's defeats were heartbreakers despite the fact that Hoyt pitched won derfRl ball.. In the two games the Giants southpaw allowed the Yankees a total of only nine hits against 12 made off Hoyt by the Giants. The ibreaks were against Artie, that's all.
 Today. with Hoyt slated to come back for the Tanks, Nehf was out for "revant;he' and the betting among the ,grandstiand manager favored his ichances of getting it.
 In the first game Nehf lost, young Hoyt hS-pnotized the Giants, letting i them down with two neasly hits. In the fifth game Nehfs teammates made ten hits off the Brooklyn schoolboy and now that they have found their batting eyes thy do not believe he can | stand them off again.
 Should Hoyt's attempt to gain fur i>ther fame be rewarded with a vic- | tory today he will enter that select set ] of pitchers who have won three games and lost none in a worlds series The Three and None" club has just four members. They are the once great Mat hewson. Babe Adams, Jack Coombs and Stanley Coveleskie. Hoyt is young, strong and ambitious. More, { he is a good pitcher and a smart one. He may succeed in his efforts to make the Giants curl up and play dead for the third time but the odds are against him. The McGraw men have seen him do his stuff twice and 1 believe they know his number now.
 Yankee fans, though their hopes , centered in rhe sinewy arm of Hoyt, hoped against hope that the men of Huggins would break out in, batting i rasp today.
