The closing of the hotel came a complete 'surprise to I the guests of the old house. The first they knew that tnry were to seek other quarters was when a notice waa posted In the office that all guests must leave' by 8:." In the evening, taking their effects with them. Bellboys were sent, with similar messages, to the people who happened to be in their rooms.

An old gentleman with the who lived on the third had two of the bellboys and a porter getting bis belongings bb asau vt4g gas v. swearing at them for their clumsiness, and later paid them handsomely for their service.

The chambermaids were equally busy, aiding women 'guests In packing, and were well re warded A so that, though the hlp of the hotel, eighty-five In nurpber, were losing their places, i they seemed to feel that Christmas with its gifts had come early and at a time when there was more than the usual number of guests in the house. They seemed to regard the exodus rather as a holiday affair. The real trouble came about 6 o'clock, a. people were returning' to the hotel for dinner. -They learned that there was to be no dinner, and that Instead of preparing to go to the theatre they piust pack up their, belongings and find beds elsewhere.

Twenty porters from other hotels, loaned for the occasion, andTewsrded 'with extra wages, helped In getting the guests of the Gilaey away with their belongings. A few minutes after o'clock the-clerks ruled off the blot tee of tne hotel and announced that the hotel was closed. The lights were then put out and preparations were made to vacate! the! hostelry, i Gathering in groups in the corridor were many old guests who had been stopping there for many years.

"1 PLAN TO AVOID CAUCUS If Junior Senator Control More Than ij Forty Votes, Scheme Could Be Worked Out. It was learned yesterday that friends of Senator Depew in the Legislature are con- faring the advlsabili of tMrrMals- i Ins- out th caucua In the vu vl ei" rvni oi meu" oeing lrZu can members.

The suggestion- that tney takj such action, it was said on good authority, has been broached to William Barnes, the Chairman of the Executive v.ommme or tne Kepuoiican oiaie mute, who is managing Mr. uepew leg- ifiiiivr i-amuuirn. uarnni. 1 umui i stood, now h-s the matter under 1 advisement. If Mr.

Depew's supporters should decide to stay out of the Republican caucus, their action would mean a dead-lock on the Senatorship, provided Mr. Depew ran command more than forty votes. The Depew men say they many more vote, than that pledged In such a manner that there Is no chance of their being alienated. There will be 140 Republicans in the next Legislature. Seventy-one votes will therefore be necessary to control the Republican caucus If one be held.

The Legislature 1. composed of 200 members, the membership of the Senate being 50 and that of the Assembly ISO. One hundred and one votes will be necessary to elect. The Democrats will have sixty members of the coming Legislature, and presumably they will tjave a minority i candidate, although there is some talk to the effect that there will be as lively a contest among the Democrats a. to who shall have the honor of the minority nomination a.

there is now going on between Republicans as to who shall be elected Mr. Depew's suc cessor. Under any circumstances, how- ever, all of the Democratic vote, are likely to be cast for Democrats, so that. In the event that no Republican caucus is held. ex-Go v.

Black. Mr. Depew's rival, will have to muster. 101- Republicans to vote for him to give him the coveted prize. If a caucus were held and 71 Republicans voted in caucus for Mr.

Black, he wo did then become the caucus nominee, and all Republicans who participated In the caucu. would be compelled to vote for him. The purpose of Senator Depew's supporter, in suggesting that they remain out of the caucus is therefore apparent- By such action they would compel Mr. Black to muster 40 more votes than he would have to do tf the Senatorship were decided la caucus, Seme of the leader. In the- movement to elect ex-Oov.

Black Senator when asked yesterday about ihe probability of Depew'. supporter, remaining away from the caucus Mid they did not consider such a contingency likely to arise. They Mid they did not believe that Senator Depew would Indorse such a -course on the part of his friendsi If It became known that he was countenancing such action, it was said, the effect Would be to lessen his strength to a point where It would not make-any difference whether hi. supporters remained away from the caucus or not. Borne of the members of the Legislature who are now committed to his candidacy.

It was said, would consider themselves released from further obligation to vote for him if by to doing they were 'compelled to put them selves without the of the organisation. If the Depew men remain out of the Republican caucus there will be a similar situation to that which was created when Senators Conkltng and Piatt resigned from the Senate in 1881. The Republicans who did not favor the re-election of Messrs. Conkling and Piatt refused to go into caucus and the result was that Conkling and Piatt failed of election. Miller and Lap hum being chosen In their stead.

1 It Is salt that Tammany Hall Is desirous of having the minority nomination go .0 B-irke o-Hkrn unrt that the Intra County ind up-State Democrats will favor Senator P. H. McCarreti. the Brooklyn leacer. If the legislative dead-lock should remain unbroken until the cloxe of the session.

It would then be the privilege of Gov. Hlg-gins to appoint a Senator to serve In place of Mr. Depew until the meeting of the Legislature of laOtt. A. Governor-elect Higgins Is generally believed to have a preference for Senator Depew.

the possibility of Mr. Depew being able to hold on for another year at least by appointment is believed to be the inducement which has led friends of Mr. Depew to consider the advisability of refusing to go Into a caucus.
