The funeral services over the remains of the late William H.

Lyon were held at his late home, 70 New York avenue, this afternoon. The Rev. Dr. Charles H. Buck, pastor of the New York Avenue M.

E. Church, officiated, aided by Bishop Goodsell of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Good sell was a former of the New York Avenue Church and a strong personal friend of Mr. Lyon. The Bishop spoke feelingly of his relations with Mr.

Lyon, and emphasized the character of the deceased for probity and charity and his reputation among business men and those of all walks of life, which would be an Incentive to good deeds for many years to come. The services were brief, and dignified, and Mrs. Kathrene Cav annah Parker sang "Crossing the Bar," "Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping" and "Peace. Perfect Peace." The casket was covered with a pall of sweet peas, and the flowers arranged about were simple and beautiful. Many floral tributes were received from the friends of the deceased, and one was from the Brooklyn Industrial School Association and Home for Destitute Children, of which Mr.

Lyon had long been president. Among those who attended the services were many of his old business associates in the Chamber of Commerce. The remains were taken to Greenwood Cemetery for interment. ADVISED TO SUPPORT MOTHER. Son With Whom She Is Living Now Complains He Cannot Do So Longer.

Lewis Proctor of 449 Evergreen avenue was summoned to the Charities Department this morning to explain why he did not contribute anything to the support of his widowed step mother, Eliza Proctor, who is living with another son, Oliver Proctor, who resides in Green avenue, between Evergreen and Central. Last week Oliver Proctor called at the Charities Department and complained that he was unable to support his mother any longer. Eeslde Lewis and Oliver, Mrs. Proctor has two other sons, Albert and Andrew, and a daughter. Oliver Proctor said he wanted the Charities Department to force Lewis.

Albert and Andrew to contribute something to their mother's support. Lewis Proctor told Chief Clerk Short of the Charities Department this morning that it would be impossible for him to support his mother, as he earned only J8 a week. He has a wife and children to support out of this, he said, and declared that he would starve If the responsibility of his mother's support were placed upon him. Lewis Proctor said that his brothers and sister were financially better off and could easily support their mother. His brother Oliver makes good wages, he said, and so does his brother Andrew.

Oliver is employed In a factory, like himself, Lewis said, while Andrew is an electrician, earning between $20 and $25 a week. His other brother. Albert, is employed in the government band on Governor's Island, Lewis said. Oliver ls the only one of the brothers, aside from Lewis, who lives in Brooklyn. Lewis told Clerk Short that his sister and brother Andrew live in Manhattan.

It appears from the story that Lewis Proctor told to Clerk Short that Oliver Proctor had lived with his mother all his life up to the time he was married two years ago. The father of the boys died about ten years ago and since then Oliver has supported his mother. When Oliver sot married, Lewis said he took his mother to live with him, but the old woman did not get along very well with her daughter in law and Lewis said the younger Mrs. Proctor is now trying to force the other brothers to support the mother. Lewis said that so far as he Jinew neither of his other brothers had' ver given anything to the support of their mother since their father's death.

Clerk Short advised Lewis to call his brothers together and to arrange among themselves to support their mother. Lewis did not appear to take kindly to the suggestion. "1 am willing to contribute something to my stepmother's support," he said, "but I can't do very much. I do not earn much and I need all I get to take care of my wife and family. I don't see how I should bt.

called upon to support her anyhow when she has three of her own sons. She put me in an institution when I was only a few years oldaud she kept her own sons at home and took care of them. They are the ones who should be made to support her now." Oliver Proctor ijho has been supporting the old woman told Clerk Short that, since he was married his income has been too small to enable him to care for his mother. TO REBUILD 71 ST ARMORY. I a.rcnii.ecis jxuuaonzeu to rreptue rinuo, a and New Building Will Be Fireproof.

The Armory Board to day authorized Clinton and Russell, of 32 Nassau street, Manhattan, the architects of the ruined Seventy first Regiment Armory at Thirty fourth street and Park aveuue.to prepare plans for the reconstruction of that structure on the same site. The architects were further given power to supervise the work of removing the debris there and rendering the still standing walls safe. Complaint was recently made by the subway contractors of the danger of the southwest tower falling owing to pressure, and to day Superintendent Stewart of the Manhattan Building Bureau, two of his Inspectors and a member of the firm, Clinton Russell, all testified as to the danger of the tower's collapse. Mayor Low stated that in the emergency pointed out to him last week he had directed Superintendent Stewart to act at once. He criticised the red tape that had held up an emergency matter lor three weeks before It reached the board and said in future he would like such matters referred at once to him.

The old Seventy first Regiment Armory cost $450,000, but the new one will cost more, as the city authorities are agreed that such buildings in future must be as near fireproof as possible. The Seventy first Armory burned in less than two hours on the night of February 21 last, and sparks from it ignited the Park Avenue Hotel, resulting In a disaster there that cost nearly a dozen lives. Mayor Low announced that he hoped in a few days to have from Messrs. Post Har denburgh the plans, for the architect's competition for the Sixty ninth Regiment Armory plans, to replace those of Horgan Slattery. )ected by the armory board.

The sum of $533,000 ls available for payment of awards for its site on Lexington avenue. The board, looking Into regimental expenditures this year, found that up to June 1 $25,780 of the appropriation of $32,500 allowed for Brooklyn and Queens this year was unspent and $50,000 out of the $64,000 allowed Manhattan. This is considered a good record. It was decided to put In repairs to the Seventh Regiment Armory heating plant at a cost of about $12,000. The Second Naval Battalion armory that caused an explosion at the last meeting was not mentioned to day, but General McLeer Inquired as to the preparation of plans for Troop C's Bedford avenue armory.

The Board of Aldermen has had pending before it a resolution providing for a $10,000 bond Issue for this purpose. WASHERY BEGINS OPERATIONS. First to Start Work Since Coal Strike Began No Demonstration. Shamokln, July 14 Two carloads of special policemen and laborers arrived here to day from Schuylkill County. The men, fifty in all, went to work at the Reading Company's Henry Clay Washery and it way successfully started.

The strikers made no demonstration. The washery is the first to be operated in this region since the anthracite strike was OUR CERTIFICATES 5 PER ANNUM are the safest, brr.t most convenient form of investment Open Accounts, 4 Eagle Savings S. oan Go. 1S5 Rcmscn Street (near Court Circci) Capital and Surplus, over All Accounts Exempt Taxation AILSA LEADS OCEAN RACERS. Thistle First Away, but Is Soon Passed.

Fine Breeze at the Start. Newport, R. July 14 The ocean race of the Atlantic Yacht Club from this port to New York, outside cf Long Island, a distance of about 150 miles, was started at 11 o'clock this forenoon from Brenton's Reef lightship. While the weather was somewhat easy, 'a fine ten knot southwest breeze was blowing, giving the five yachts that crossed the line a long 25 miles' beat round Montaulc Point. The race will finish inside of New York harbor, off Sea Gate.

The tug C. P. Raymond, which will accompany the yachts, marked ono end of the line, and at 11 o'clock sounded her whistle for the st irt. The first, boat over was Commodore R. E.

Tod's topsail schooner Thistle. She was followed closely by H. S. Redmond's 90 foot yawl Ailsa; then" came F. F.

Ames' schooner Varuna, with C. L. Poor's little 40 footer Mira not far behind. The last boat was the big schooner En dymion, owned by E. A.

Thomas. Each boat was given plenty of time to cross the line, being timed as it did so. The Thistle and Ailsa immediately headed for the Narragan sett shore, the favorite piece of water in a beat to the southwest during the flood tide. Before they reached there the Ailsa had passed the Thistle and ten minutes after the start was the "leading boat. The Varuna, Mira and Endymion kept off shore, anticipating the change in the tide during the early afternoon.

At noon, when the yachts disappeared in the mist, the reeze had increased to over twelve knots and gave promise of holding there throughout the day. A quick race was therefore expected, with the finish at Sea Gate some time to morrow afternoon. There was some question as to the eligibility cf the Mira, the race being only for large yachts. The starting time follows: Thistle; R. E.

Thomas .11:00:19 V. 11:11:30 SIR THOMAS WILL CHALLENGE. Plans for a Working Model of a New Boat Already Completed. London, July 14 Sir Thomas Lipton's arrangements to challenge again for the America's Cup will be practically completed in a couple of months. The plans for a working model of the challenger are finished and in a safe at the Fairlie yard.

Draughtsmen are now preparing, the working drawings, and the officers of the Shamrock III are already engaged. There has been strong pressure on Sir Thomas recently on the part of influential shareholders of his company to induce him to abandon the idea of challenging in 1903 and devote himself to improving the affairs of Lipton Limited, but thus far he has shown no indication of abandoning his personal desire to contest for the America's Cup in 1903. GOLFERS READY FOR PLAY. 'Kanny" Holabird, the Great Western Amateur, 111 and May Not Start. Chicago, July 14 The links of the Glen view Golf Club are all in readiness for the opening play in the national amateur aolf tournament, which will begin there to morrow.

It was learned to day that "Manny" Holabird, one of the most promising cf the Western golfers, may not bs'able to play, as he was in bed to day under the care of a doctor. The physician was watching for symptoms of typhoid, but they did not appear during the forenoon, the hope was expressed that he might not have to share the fate of that other crack player, Bruce Smith. Visitors at Glenviev; to day were numerous. All the entrants went over the course one or more times, taking such practice only as would keep them on edge for to mcrrow. Mr.

Travis, the present amateur champion, playing with Janes A. Stillm.in of Newport, went the course in 79 tn day. The best amateur record for the course is 77. made by Walter E. Egan of Lake Geneva yesterday.

The following notice is posted at Walla bout market: "Application having been made by John II.

Vrcelaud and Charles Smith for permission to lay tracks and operate an electric railway in Wallabout Market lands in the Borough of Brooklyn for the purpose of carrying freight, beef, provisions and merchandlsu for the convenience of merchants and dealers in Wallabout Market, the tracks to commence on East avenue, twenty five feet north of A street, and running thence noi r'uwest erly to the bulkhead line of Wallabout Basin, together with the necessary switches appertaining thereto, notice is hereby given that" a public hearing on the above application wil be given, by the uudersigned in. the Market Hall, Wallabout Market, on Wednesday, July 161002, at 11 o'clock A. M. (Signed) EDWARD M. GROUT.

"Controller." Messrs. Freeland and Smith say that the object of the proposed railway is to furnish connection between the tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and other railroad terminals at the Wallabout and the refrigerator establishments of the market merchants, whereby cars loaded with meats and other commodities easily injured by exposure may be hauled to and unloaded at the merchants' doors. THINK CORN CORNER BROKEN. To morrow's Estimated Receipts Sends July Options at Chicago Down 5 1 2 Cents. Chicago, July 14 Corn bears gave the bulls who are supporting the corner in July corn a severe drubbing about mid session on the Board or' Trade to day.

The market opened without any news of particular significance, although the manner in which receiving houses were making contract corn and sending it into this market caused much nervousness among the big bull leaders. The sentiment was inclined toward the bearish side for the first two hours, yet without any signs of a stampede. When the estimate came, however, that to morrow's receipts would be 1,000 cars or over, traders who had the cash corn in hand threw it at the bulls with such vigor that in ten minutes the price of July options dropped 5V4 cents Excitement was not marked, but speculators all over the floor voiced the opinion that the corner had been broken. Trade was of good size, better than for several days, over half a million bushels being put out for profits by the crowd, who were getting the cash corn 20c. cheaper than they were selling July.

The July option opened dull. 'fcc. lower than it closed Saturday, with a sale at S0V2C, an advance was made to 86, and then came the thud to 80c. Later there was some support given by the Gates crowd and July steadied near SI Vic. WALSH MAY BE MISTAKEN.

Contention That He Will Hold Office Till 1907 Probably Disposed Of. By electing Joseph N. Taylor, district superintendent for the unexpired term of George Hogan, the Board of Education to all intents and purposes disposed of the contention of Superintendent John Walsh of Brooklyn that he was elected Borough President of Brooklyn for the full term of six years and under consolidation would hold office until 1907. Superintendent Walsh, who has been active in watching out for the interests of Brooklyn in the board of superintendents feared probably he would meet with the same treatment accorded to Superintendent Jasper were he to come up for re election in 1904. A brief was prepared by the superintendent, setting forth his claims for the longer term and was submitted to the Board of Education.

The matter was laid before the Corporation Counsel and has been decided adversely to the superintendent. As a result Superintendent Walsh will have to stand for re election in 1904. The ruling in this case makes it mandatory upon the Board of Ed ucation to elect for the unexpired term instead of for the full term in the case of vacancies. With the approach of the September meeting of the Board of Education discussion centers about the election for the position of associate superintendent left vacant by the retirement of Superintendent John Jasper. Manhattan and Brooklyn will as usual be actively represented, in the contest for the place.

The claim of the Manhattanites is that Inasmuch as Superintendent Jasper represented that borough, a resident of Manhattan should be elected. The claim of the Brooklyn candidates is that Brooklyn has not a just representation on the Board of Superintendents, as out of, nine superintendents Brooklyn has but two. A number of candidates from outside of the city have also come to the front in view of the evident feeling among some members of the board that outsiders be preferred to the local candidates. In Manhattan the indications are that at thepresent time District Superintendent Henry Jameson leads the candidates from that borough for the position, and it is the general impression that if the position is to go to Manhattan, Superintendent Jameson will be the fortunate candidate. Superintendent Jameson at the present time has choree nf the.

suDervislon of the high and training schools throughout the city, and his. work fits him for tne position or. assotmie superintendent. A number of school phln: cipals are also listed as candidates, but their claims for the position are discounted by that of the district superintendent. The impression seems to prevail that the position of associate superintendent should be considered a promotion from the district superintendency, and for that reason the strongest candidates are at the present time in that list.

Brooklyn will be represented in the contest by probably three candidates, although ut the present time Miss Strachan, district superintendent, supervising districts 31 and 34, is the first in the field. The opposition to women associate superintendents will, it is feared, dispose of her candidacy. District Superintendent James Edsall, James J. McCabe and Charles W. Lyon, are generally looked upon as the real Brooklyn candidates.

Unlike other nominations the board of superintendents has no power of Initiative, and for that reason it is expected that there will be from five to ten names proposed at the September meeting for the consideration of the members of the board. Any member can ake a nomination, and the large list of nominees gives indivation of a close contest. The Building Department will be busy during the summer alterine and repairing old buildings and constructing new ones. Contracts for; repairs provided by the Board of Education have been awarded and the work will be begun immediately. As yet it is too early tc.

predict whether or not the buildings will be able to accommodate all who apply. No efforts are being spared to rush the work, and a number of new buildings In the local districts will be ready in the fall. JUMPED FROM 150 FOOT BRIDGE. Messenger Boy Took the Place of a Professional High Diver. Wheeling, W.

July 14 In full view of several hundred people, Theodore McGrane, a messenger boy. has jumped from the suspension bridge over the Ohio River, a distance of 150 feet, for a paltry 'sum. A professional high diver had failed to appear, whereupon young McGrane, who was one of the assembled spectators, quietly announced that he would make the leap, mounted the rail and dropped off. He disdained a skiff that was hurried to him and swam the fifty yards to shore, landing without a bruise. ASKED TO FAVOR ZOO.

The committee on Improvements of the Republican organization of the Twenty first Assembly District, has been asked to advocate the idea of having a zoological garden established at Forest Park instead of In Prospect Park, as has been proposed. OF Appointments Under the Morgan Bill to Be Made Early in the Autumn. HE HAS SEEN SNOW AND HILL Conferences Indicate Mayor's Purpose to Give Brooklyn Benefits of Consolidation. On the very best authority, the Eagle is able to announce to day definitely that Mayor Low will carry out the provisions of the Morgan Library bill passed last spring by the legislature, and approved by him, but that he will not take action until September. Although the Mayor approved the Library bill, for the consolidation of the Brooklyn Library and the Brooklyn Public Library, his long delay in taking action has been construed by opponents of the consolidation as an indication that he had become frightened at the strength of the opposition and the case put up by It, and had decided to let the matter drift without carrying the law into effect.

Mayor Low will not permit the Morgan act to become a dead letter or to remain asleep, in the expectation that further legislation may be had on the subject, but he will, early in the fall, take steps to put the law into operation as completely as lies in his power. Probably in September his appointments to the new board of trustees, provided for in the act, will be announced. These, it is expected, will represent the better known clement in each of these institutions. Mayor Low had a talk with Henry Sanger Snow to day, and he has recently conferred with Librarian Hill on the same subject that of the Brooklyn Public Library and its future and they are acquainted with his Intentions and his present attitude in the matter. The Mayor, according to the authority from which this announcement is derived, still believes iu the great benefit to be derived from the consolidation with the Brooklyn Public Library of the Brooklyn Library, with its large and valuable collection of books and the valuable property which it posseses.

The Mayor, be3ide that, is not disposed to allow a law which he was partly instrumental in having placed on the statue books, go by default, and it is believed that this experience, in addition. in observ; ing the management of such institutions as the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Botanical Gardens and the New York Zoological Park, have strengthened his confidence in the principle of semi private administration of large institutions designed for public benefit. The Mayor at the time of the hearing, before the Morgan act became a law, pointed out the admirable administrations of such institutions as those named and intimated i his inability to see any harm in turning over the Brooklyn Public Library to a similar body of public spirited men. As the Mayor intends to go away from the city early in August on his vacation and be away possibly a month, action by him before September in this matter will very likely be impossible. There is no pressing need at this time to start the work and It will probably go until his return and his active rc entrance inio municipal affairs.

ROW OVER TOUGH STEAK. Two Boarders, Now Under Arrest, Charged With Assaulting Landlady and Her Husband. 13nMa Ing house at 237 Freeman street, tireeupoint, yesterday, which, according to the boarders, was due to the scarcity and bad quality of the food. Mrs. Karetski, the landlady, says the beef trust is responsible for the complaint, and the prices in the local markets are prohibitive.

She urged her boarders to pay more board when they objected to the food, and alleges that wijth the prices as they are no reasonable person could expect better quality for the money. As it is, she says there is no longer any profit in the business of keeping boarders. The star boarders at the house are Joseph Godublawski and his brother Henry. On Saturday they complained vigorously about the beefsteak, and the landlady was forced to tell them to go elsewhere. They refused to go.

Yesterday noon they proclaimed loudly against the food. The good woman, this time provoked to anger, called her husband and told him to put the two brothers out. He was more brave than discreet, it appears, for the blood was up In the star boarders and they were ready to tackle tougher propositions than steak. Dishes on the table presented the most available weapons at hand, and these were seized with avidity. Karetski and his wife dodged the mlsBiles as best they could and then sought refuge behind a table.

They were driven from there by two chairs hurled at them by the brother, and were soon beaten into a state of insensibility. In the meanwhile, the cries and the noise had attracted the neighbors, and fully five hundred people gathered in the street. Roundsman Monahan and Patrolman Conlin hurried to the boarding house, where they found three of the twelve boarders of the house lying on the floor unhurt, and Karetski and his wife in a serioUB condition. An ambulance was called from St. Catharine's Hospital and Mrs.

Karetski was taken to that Institution, while her spouse's head was dressed by the surgeons and he remained on guard at the house. Henry and Joseph Godublawski. on the appearance of the police, fled to the roof and hid behind the chimneys. The officers easily found them and, after small resistance on the part of the brothers, escorted them to the Green point avenue police station. There they were locked tjp pending the recovery of the FEWIES0LE, AT 12 TO 1, Wins the First Race at Brighton From a Good Field Wealth Second.

AN EFFORT AT HARMONY. Bepresentative of the Platform Company Says It Would Save the B. B. T. Money.

Bridge Commissioner Llndenthal was not at his office this moruing and it was stated that he was imt expected before to morrow. Additional particulars concerning the new moving platform company an i what it intends to offer the people of the city in the event of its plans being adopted are daily coming to light. The company which is at present being organized with a view to operating the moving platforms on the bridge is made up of former railroad officials and prominent capitalists. When asked this morning who the stockholders of the company were, one of the representatives stated that the list in the Eagle of Saturday was conect, and then announced that the following men made up practically the full list of stockholders at the present time: Stuyvesant Fish, Cornelius Vanderbilt, S. S.

Palmer, Moses Taylor Pyne, E. P. Ripley, George W. Young, John O'Rourke, Frederick and Albert Gallatin and Max Schmidt. The representative would not state who the officers are.

The representatives were pleased this morning to learn that Controller Grout had stated that if the moving platform would do all it was reported to be able to do it was undoubtedly a good idea. It appeared this morning from what representatives of the company stated that a proposition may be made to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company whereby the moving platform idea of itself would not work so trolley cars. Full particulars of the proposition are being withheld from the public until such time as the new concern feels that it is well to make an official announcement of the offer. From statements made by the representatives at odd times some idea has leaked out of what the offer will be. At the Rapid Transit hearing last week the announcement was made by Consulting Engineer George Morrison that the moving platform idea of itself would not work as well as it would in conjunction with the trolley system, and the suggestion was made that when the traffic reached 5,000 an hour the moving platform should be placed in operation, and when it returned to that figure again the trolley lines would be expected to handle the crowds and the moving platform would be stopped.

This morning, in talking with representatives of the company, it appeared that the feeling prevails that some arrangement can be made with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company whereby the two concerns may work together for mutual profit. The idea of the new concern is that a large terminal station be constructed at the Brooklyn end. The moving platform would reach as far as Tlllary street and stations would be constructed at the intervening streets through which it is proposed to have the different trolley lines pass from Washington street to Fulton. By arranging for the more crowded lines to loop through Tillary and the adjoining streets it is expected that the. passengers will be handled with greater ease than at present.

In talking about the possibility of com' bination of interests, one of the. representatives this morning said: "The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company have stated time and time again that they are losing about $90,000 a year by "crossing the bridge with a five cent fare, offer to relieve them of the necessity of crossing the bridge, theroby saving them that expense, and in return we ask them to construct at the Brooklyn terminal loops for the accommodation of passengers. You see the proposition has been made to construct four more loops at the Manhattan end, but nothing more has been heard of it. At" practically the same expense the necessary loops could be constructed through the streets from Sands to Tlllary, and all of the passengers we land in Brooklyn will find cars ready to take them to their destination." "Do you intend," asked the reporter, "to make a definite, offer.to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, or is the proposition merely one which you believe will be accepted as a protection to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit interests?" "I would not like to answer that question at this time on my own responsibility," replied the representative. "Just what the concern will eventually do I cannot say.

We believe that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will agree with us that the real point ls to handle the present traffic satisfactorily to the people and with profit to ourselves."

HE THINKS HE WILL GET THEM. Bronx Is Far Better Off Than Brooklyn in the Matter of Police Protection. Eorough President Swanstrom and Deputy Police Commissioner Ebsteln had a confer en this morning on the police situation, as a result of which Mr. Swanstrom will go before the Board of Estimate and Apportionment this afternoon and make a demand for additional policemen for this borough. Mr.

Swanstrom and Major Ebstein went over the situation thoroughly, and after the conference was over the Borough President said that the Deputy Police Commissioner agreed with him that there was a grave need for additional patrolmen In this borough to protect the lives and. property of its citizens.

"Major Ebstein told me that there has not been an addition to the force in this borough since 1S96. I do not mean by that that no vacancies have been filled.

I mean that the force has not been increased by as much as one man since December of that year. "Then I found." Mr. Swanstrom went on. "that in the Borough of the Bronx there are over "00 patrolmen. The population of the b'oax ls 4U.uuu.

while the population of Brooklyn is a million and a quarter. Yet there are only patrolmen on duty in Brooklyn. Though the population of Brooklyn is nearly five times as large as that of the Bronx, our police force is only a little more than twice as large. The number of men on patrol in this' borough is riot at all proportionate to its size. "Major Ebstein told me that he needed from 200 to 500 more men lo properly patrol the borough and if he is not an authority on the situation I don't know who Is.

I shall certainly call the attention of the" Board of Estimate to Major Ebstein's statement." "Have you made up your mind as to how many men you will ask for?" the Borough President was I have not," Mr. Swanstrom replied. "I think I shall simply set forth the conditions to the Board and ask that body to provide more policemen for this borough. Before the Board takes any action I expect it will call upon Police Commissioner Partridge for a report and such a report, 1 am sure, cannot but confirm what wo have learned as a result of our own investigations."

FLEET REACHES NORWAY. rhristiania, Norway. July 14 The United Stutos battleship Illinois, flagship of Rear Admiral Crowninshield, and the cruisers rni' HMJ and Albany have arrived here. M. Rousseau, the former president of the French council of ministers, has reached this port on the yacht Ariadne.

tor Hill has had a severe wrench, but that within the last forty eight hours circumstances have arisen to restore to it something of its former strength. The signs of weakness shown lately are believed to be due to the wire pulling of Senator Sullivan and his Tammany associates, who want to be In a position to make certain demands of the stale machine before they definitely accept ex Senaior Hill's programme for the campaign. Suggestion of the possibility of nominating either Edward M. Shepard or Bird S. Coler has been adroitly renewed to help the anti Hill maneuvers along.

Opposition to both the Brooklyn candidates has been so strong, however, that the Wil loughby street leaders have not yet committed themselves to the support of either. It may be saij to dav that nronnsals in nmlnrsn Shepard anil Coler have both been rejected the present Senator McCarren, in speak lng Oi tae situation, declared that the Kings County organization is not committed to any candidate, and that its wishes to the governors hip would not be indicated for some time. A well informed leader added this toSenator MeCarreii's information: He said that the Kings County organization would not go to the convention for either Shepard or Coler, and that it would not favor the nomination of any Brooklyn man for governor or minor place on Uie ticket. Asked if the organization was likely to propose the nomination of Martin W. Littleton for attorney general, he replied that it was not.

"Kings County," he declared, "is not at all likely to have a place on the state ticket. Of course the friends of Shepard, Coler or Littleton may succeed in changing the situation before the convention, but as the case now stands Brooklyn will ask nothing and receive nothing. "This is the reason: Brooklyn Democrats, at the very outset of the harmony project, agreed that the state ticket should, as a matter of good politics, be made up entirely of up state candidates. 1 his was not the result of any antagonism to local candidates, or the inability to agree on local men. It was; believed to be the best way to win.

Recently state campaigns have been fought under city control and have been lost. This Near Brooklyn considers it important that the country men have full swing. The impression to this effect is so strong that tl cre is a practical certainty that Brooklyn will into the state campaign free to follow Kill's icacl in all thing. "There is no need," he continued, "to weaken the state Democracy in the interest of any city candidate. The city vote for the ticket will exceed 7i.000 and may exceed ou.uu laiiuuidic susetsLtu cumu in i crease this vote.

Now. if Hill is allowed to: use tne wcoie suite ticket to sirengtnen the i "vote in tne intoncr counties he ought to come tiown to the metropolitan district not more than 50.000 vote behind the Republican candidates. "In my view the nomination for governor of Shepard. Coler or any other city man. who has been conspicuous iti local politics, would cost the state ticket iTi.OOO votes and insure the election of Governor Odcll.

I believe this i. also Ihc view of most well Informed Dem cr rnts. "As to the likelihood of a Tammany Kings County combination against Hill. I will say I it It is an impossibility, so far as the nake up of the state ticket is con cerned. a combination might possi bly bo effected to control the election and organization of the new state That.

1 cr.n,.ve. is what Sullivan wanis and no doubt he is acting on the advice, of Rich nrd Croker. who docs not want the state to fall irredeemably into the hands of Hill." Tammany sentiment for Bird S. Coler is undeniably strong. Friends of both Senator Sullivan and John Carroll are talking of hi in as thi'ir choice.

A few Tammany men may be found to say that he is slated to receive the Tammany votes in the convention. DUNCAN LOST HIS WINNINGS. While Waiting for a Trolley Car He Was Assaulted and Robbed.
