A "small fa explosion in Long bland City, late yesterday afternoon, gave rise to the rumor that a spy had probably attempted to blow up the plant of the Muerer Steel Barrel Company located at SOT Borden avenue. The police Immediately started an Investigation, but they were assured by the of the company that the explosion was thoroughly a local one. that it was caused by some of the oxygen gas igniting, and that it was due In no way to any spy or other person on the outside. Rumor had it at first that the company was manufacturing steel barrel for shipment of oil to the Allies and that some spy had learned of this and tried to blow up the plant.

Henry Kohler, years old, who was at work in the place when the explosion occurred, was badly burned and cut and taken to St. John's Hospital.

As the situation stands to-day, however, Mr. Cropsey is not in favor of It. As Mr. Cropsey's wishes will be sounded before a decision Is reached by the executive committee regarding the policy for the big fight this fall, to-day's announcement was the most Important piece of news heard In Kings County political circles for several, months.

Moose Remain Optimistic. Unless Mr. Cropsey alt its his attitude which Is unlikely It means that Westervelt Prentice has no chance of landing the nomination for Register on the Republican ticket as a concession to the Progressives. Desperate efforts are being made by the Bull Moose leaders to land a place on the ticket and up to this afternoon optimism reigned among tho herd. Men who have talked with Mr.

Cropsey during the few spare moments he has had for the last two months or more found that he believes the Republicans have the opportunity of their lives to pull a straight ticket through this fall.

Livingston. William M. Calder and others are In favor of putting an anti-Tammany Democrat on the ticket. At first the Registershlp was mentioned, but now it is understood that a Judicial place will be offered to the "Rooster" element, provided they advance the right candidate. Mr.

Cropsey will be asked to pass upon the names suggested, as he will be the one to make the campaign for the Judiciary nominees. Opposition to Raymond V. Ingersoll has developed. The name of the Park Commissioner was suggested some time SLgo, but to-day It Is stated that the chances are against him. Who will be favored cannot be ascertained at this time: In fact, outside of Mr.

Ingersoll. no names have been proposed in any official way. It is known that Magistrate George H. Folwell, his erstwhile assistant, stands high In Mr. Cropsey's esteem.

Magistrate Folwell Is an independent! Democrat, but the "Roosters" nave not been discussing" his name. J. rattan MacMahon was boomed some time ago. District Leader Disagree All the district leader are receiving suggestion as to what to do this fall, but no two Individual seem to agree. The conference at the Invincible Club howec" that sentiment Is divided.

Amcig the advocates of fusion is Borough President Pounds. County Chairman Vass favors a straight ticket. There can be no doubt but that the execu tive committee session next Tuesday afternoon will be a lively one. If developed to-day that Influential Democrats, Ilk John A. Hen-nessy are making plan for the county campaign which will give no pleasure to.

Deputy Tammany Boss McCooey. -Just what these plans are ha not yet been made public. Before tb end of the week, it la believed, the Republican leader will be. Informed of what 1 In th air.
