SOHMER'S FRIENDS REJOICE But It Is Not CerUlix the Begister Would Suit the New AII7 of mocracy Herman Sulzer oa the Candidates' Chances.

Tammany leaders who have counted for months on the support of the German- American voters in the coming municipal campaign on the personal liberty and open Sunday issues had their hopes partially confirmed yesterday by an Interview with Oswald Ottendorfer cabled from Carlsbad to The. World. Incidentally the friends of Register William Sohmer, who are working; with might and main to secure his nomination for Mayor on the Tammany ticket, were greatly encouraged by the day's development. The editor of the Staats-Zeitung declared positively against Seth Low for Mayor, and said: It would be an insult to the Intelligence of the voters of New Tork to expect them to select a Republican Mayor. If the Democracy shows any sense it will sweep the field.

I want to vote for Democrat. The present so-called reform administration has been a complete failure. CoL War-tog's administration of the Street Cleaning Department is the only really notable success of the administration." Herman Ridder. manager of Mr. Ottendorfer' newspaper, and Sheriff Tamsen, the President of the German-American Reform Union, were both out of town yesterday, the former having gone with an excursion to Yosemite Park.

Germans Tired of Reform. Carl Lewenstein, Secretary of the German-American Reform Union, said: was much surprised that Mr. Ottendorfer Should express so decided a stand thus early In the campaign. His paper has so far given no declaration on the subject, and soma of us In the Union, before he went to Europe, tried to sound him on the subject, but failed to discover his views. "As to the policy of the Union in the coming campaign, there has been no official action, bnt I will say candidly that our people are disgusted with reform.

They hate the very word. They feel, exactly aa Mr. Ottendorfer says, that government by the reformers has been a fiasco. Several times there has been an effort within the organisation to cut the word reform out of our title, because the leaders say the Germans are so sick of reform they won't join us on account of the name. Now as to Mr.

Low. Personally the Germans, I think, consider him a. pure and able man. But if he Is nominated by the Republicans they won't support him. They can't forget the Rainea law and Rooseveltlsm.

Mr. Low made a good, liberal Mayor In Brooklyn, ro they say. In 1W4 we did a treat deal for the Republican ticket, for Mr. trong promised before the election he would give us a liberal enforcement of the excise. After the election he gave us the cold shoulder." When Mr.

Lewenstein was aked regarding car.uidates he declared Frederic R. Mr. Ottendorfer announced he favored, was scarcely a possibility. Sohmer. he thought would suit a great many German-Americans as a Tammany candidate, but he whether Mr.

Ot tendorfer would accept him. He was the man aeieatea Dy sneriii Tamsen in 18)H. He thought Mr. Ottendorfer and the union together would be able to sway about 35.000 votes to tne support or the Tammany candidate If a satisfactory man Is chosen. Tauscher de Sieghardt.

Vice President of Tne u. a. ti. v. executive Committee, said he agreed, with Mr.

Ottendorfer in general, but he declined to make any predictions as to what the union would do. He thought there would be only two' tickets In the Greater New York fight, and that the Tammany candidate, whoever he might be, had the better chance of gaining the German vote. Favor Register Sohmer. Among the advocates of Register Sohmer suiser, secretary of the Assortation of Ballroom and Park Proprietors, is the most enthusiastic. He Said yesterday: Mr.

Ottendorfer is riaht the neonln are tired of reform and reformers. They are sick of increased taxes. Tammany will elect the next Mayor, and the strongest candidate she can find is William Sohmer. No, I don't think Mr. Coudert would do.

even if he la Ottendorfers choice. Next to Sohmer is Judge Dugro or ex-Postmaster Dayton.

CE IN THE COAL STRIKE. Only An Sllsrsit Skirmish Yesterday, bt Troable Is Expected at the Coaferoaeo To-day. PITTpBURQ, Aug. sides in the coal miners' strike were apparently reaUng to-day but It was developed that at the conference to-morrow there will probably be trouble. By many It is believed that M.

D. Rat ihford. the National President of the miners organisation, will not be present. It Is cl limed that he will stick to his original assertion that he will not agree to arbitrate unless all the States involved axe represented. It Is a well-recognised fact that the operators of other States will not Join the local operators in the movement for arbitraJtion.

If Ratchf ord nrovs obdurate. the conference will be useless.

N. Aug.

22. The last Sunday for rest for President McKlnley prior to his departure from this Summer resort, waa rather rudely brokea to-day by the removal to this scene of the Worth-Piatt Brooklyn controversy. The President started the day well by attending religious services in the drawing room of the hotel and listening to a sermon by the Rev. J. A.

Gamble of PlatUburg. Exalt Not Tour- selves Too Highly was the text of the discourse, and the President listened with (rave attention. Ex-Senator Llspenard Stewart Abner Me-' Klnley, and the ladles of the Presidential party were present, but Lemuel E. Quigg, Chairman of the New Tork County Repub-Ucan Committee, found no comfort In, the service, and while the familiar strains of Old Hundred floated out of the. win-, dows, he sat outside and talked politics with Congressman Francis J.

Wilson of Brooklyn. When service was over, Mr. Quigg Intercepted the President In the corridor lead ing from the drawing room to his private apartments, and asked for a conference. The President was evidently annoyed, and Mr. Quigg conference did not last more than ten minutes, finishing in the President's room.

Later Mr. Quigg thought that he might stay over until tp-morrow and have a. further talk with the Executive. Congressman who is an active candidate for Postmaster of Brooklyn, and who is favored by Mr. Willis, who is against Worth, saw the President, but only for a few minutes.

Mr. Quigg was In close conference with Congressman Wilson after both had seen the President, and still later talked with Secretary of War Alger. He declined to talk much about the subject under consideration, saying; that he had come up to aee the President about a purely personal matter. He was asked If it was not designed to use Mr. Wilson as an addition to the WUlls-Sharkey-Atterbury combination In Brooklyn against the Worth-Low forces, and answered: "Mr.

Plait, as United States Senator, is entitled to name the Postmaster of Brooklyn." Did President McKlnley give you any encouragement as to Mr. Wilson's candidacy?" he was I decline to talk about the matter. I did not come here with Mr. Wilson. His presence here is a mere coincidence." said Mr.

Quigg. But he Is a candidate for Postmaster, Is be not? was the next query. Leon sure I don't know. Tou had better askvhim about it." With what Brooklyn faction does Mr. Wilson train? nr.w xi'ini.

"Wilson would be not at all ob jectionable te Mr. FlattT" Mrt'-oQuiES twirled'. his mustache and thought twicer before ho "remarked: The President will not name a man antagonistic to Piatt; at least, that Is my personal opinion. Mr. Piatt, however, can give you more assurance of that than 1 can." One of Mr.

Wilson's friends who was present said: Mr. Wilson will resign his office of Congressman very soon, and will be named as Postmaster." At 5:30 o'clock Mr. Wilson summoned to' a conference with PreaidenUcKlnley. and was with him for about an hour. When Mr.

Wilson came from the interview with the President he said: I had a very satisfactory talk with the President. I cannot say at this time what transDlred. and I do not wish to talk, about the Brooklyn Post- maatersuip. i' nave Known Mr. McKlnley for some having served In Congress with htm.

I also know Mrs. McKlnley. and I visited with her also." Mr. Wilson's manner was one of satls- xacuon, ana tne impression among his personal friends was that he had been assured by the President that he would be appointed. Mr.

Quigg. who saw the President Just after Mr. Wilson left, declined to talk. If Mr. Wilson be appointed by the President to the Postroastershlp it will mean, in his view, an indorsement by the Administration of the policy outlined by Mr.

Willis tn his letter on the Low candidacy for Mayor of the Greater New York, and reaffirmed by Mr. Wilson to-night, when he said: "I believe that If Mr. Low came before the regular city convention he might receive the nomination for Mayor, but it Is not within the province of reason to expect that the regular Republican organisation will allow Independents to name a candidate and then ask for the machinery of the party to elect him, especially when, for all other purposes, the independents repudiate that machinery." 1 The President declined to talk upon the matter to-night, and Mr. Porter, his secretary, said there was nothing new be said. Both Mr.

Quigg and Mr. Wilson, left for home to-nia-ht. Thearrangements for the departure of jrrw.ueni.iai party irom nere to-morrow night are all completed. The last entertainment Is to be a minstrel performance by the waiters. The party will leave on a special train, oonipoaed of President De-pew private car and two Wagner cars.
