Sept. 25. Major Delriar trotted a mije against time this afternoon in 2.00 flat, | equalling the record of Lou Dillon. | Major Delmar and Lou Dillon are the oniy horses that ever trotted. in this time and are joint holders of the world’s record. The $40,000 gelding was brought on the track at 4.30 o'clock for the crucial trial of his life. He was in perfet condition, despite the fact that he was sent against the record yesterday and failed because of an accident, There asa trifling breeze across the stretches and the track was as smooth as.a billiard table. Two running horses, hitched to sulkies. were provided for pacemakers. | The sulky equipped with the wind shield was driven by George R. Spear, the regular trainer for E. E. Smathers, Major Delmar’s owner. Alta Mc- Donald drove the gelding. The first start -vas made after scoring twice, but the Major went out of his stride at the quarter-pole and was brought back. On the next break he got away faultlessly. The quarter was made in 80 1-4 seconds, with the gelding well in hand. McDonald called for more speed and he got !t The half wae covered in ‘59 seconds, and it was seen that there was a chance that Lou Dillon’s record might not only be equalled, but beaten. The three-quarters pol was reactied in 1.29, the fastest time ever made by a trotter for the distance. Here another running horse, ridden by a jockey, joined the pacemakers, and they came down the stretch like chariot racrs. There was not a sound from the great crowd on the stand and the lawns, The voice of McDonald shouting encouragement could be heard all over the track, - ‘Major Delmar 4ni¢hed faultlessly in 2.00 and the spectators knew it as he passed under the wire. Then arose a yell that rang through the hills of ‘Westchester, and as McDonald slowed down and turned the panting gelding back toward the stand the crowd swarmed on the track in a fury of excite- ment. The betting was-3.to 6 that Major Delmar would not break the record. kid Circulation Books Open to All.” As 25 -. | 903, Ee een en . (NIGH ae PRICE ON CENT. ‘HERMIS| WINS HANDICAP. | ST.

MURPHY'S OTAND OR MCLELLAN At Meeting of the Executive Committee This Afternoon it Was Decided, Against Feeble Opposition, that Congressman Shall Head Ticket Unless Unforeseen Reasons Should Make a Change Advisable. of Nixon Consenting to Head an Inde- pendent Ticket, Backed by Jerome, but - Thus Far Has Received No Confirmation. The members ot the Executive Committee of Tammany Hall decided ‘i | in a meeting held .nis atternoon to support the candidacy of George B. McClellan for the Mayoralty nomination unless it should appear, betweem now and the convention, that such a course would be unadvisable. This decision was practically unanimous. Some of the members, were disposed to rebel against McClellan, but their protests were ft If the Brooklyn men remain obstinate and Mr. Murphy does \nof, change his mind in the mean time, the convention will open next Thurs” day with McClellan against the field and a majority of the votes behind Re him. : In an interview this atternoon Mr. Murphy said that thus far the, name of no candidate has been mentioned in any conference of moment. “In that conncetion,” he continued, “I shall issue an address to the: voters of Greater New York on Monday. It will bo an appeal to all Demos — | crats to withhold judgment and not commit themselves to the Republican ticket until they learn who all the candidates of the Democracy are.” Mr. Murphy admitted that he had paid several visits to Lewis Nixom but would not say what was discussed. When asked point blank if it was his personal opinion that Mr. McClellan should be nominated, he replig#e that he wae wilting to leave it all to the convention. Concerning this Senator McCarren made a significant remark to-day | He called attention to the fact that the Fusion ticket had been jammeq through by a few men. ‘I think,” he said, “that we'll show a contrast. There*fnay be titres or four or more candidates before the convention and the candidate will be chosen by the delegates.” M’LAUGHLIN CLAN GATHERS. Senator McCarren, John L, Shea, Bernard York, Congressman George H. Lindsay, James Shevlin and other Brooklyn leaders gathered at the Wile loughby street auction rooms to-day and conferred long and earnestly with Mr. McLaughlin. Now and then the name of Edwin M. Shepard was heard. Mr. Shevlin sald that when the proper time comes in all probability Kings County will present the names of men for Mayor and all the other officers on the ticket. | “We'll get what we are entitled to,” he declared. A delegation of 150 German citizens, representing the allied Germans of |New York, called at Tammany Hall to-day and presented to Mr. Murphy @ | memorial adopted at a mass-meeting held in Terrace Garden, urging that |tormer Sheriff William F. Greil be given the nomination, It was a non= |partisan delegation and several speeches were made. Mr. Murphy said that Hugh McLaughlin remains unshaken in his opposition to McClellan. He sald to-day, immediately after his arrival at his headquarters in Brooklyn, that he had no change to make in the sentiment of his statement published» ‘in The Evening World two days ago. He believes that McClellan will |smother the ticket in Kings. : “Lam of the opinion,” said the veteran leader, “that Lewis Nixon is ba one man to draw out the big Democratic vote in Brooklyn.” Mr. Nixon {s complicating the situation a lot and he Is irritating the jmammeny, leaders. His conference with District-Attorney Jerome yesterday land the subsequent meeting of the two with Borough President Cantor have caused a great deal of guessing. In fact, the attitude of Mr. Nixon just now is one of the important features in the ante-convention work. So far as appearances go the Democratic Mayoralty situation hag all the cohesiveness and continuity of a piate of macaroni, MURPHY SEEMS TO HAVE UPPER HAND. Mr. Murphy, backed by Borough President Cassidy of Queens, and with j assurances of the support of Borough President Haffen of the Bronx, seems determined to force McClellan. Mr. McLaughlin and the Staten Island men) |seem to prefer anybody but McClellan, According to the statements givem out after the meeting of the City Committee last night, it has been deters — mined to let the whole matter so before the convention and be fought ous on the floor. Inasmuch as Mr. Murphy controls enough votes in Tammany Hall aon to dominate the convention it would seem that he has the upper hand, fs content to let his opponents exhaust themselves. Mr, McLaughlin: wheel into line no matter who the candidate may be, but his ant before the convention has a bad effect in the eyes.of Democrats, He carry his opposition so far as to refuse to name a Brooklyn man for & on the ticket. The latest phase of the muddle is a conviction in the minds’ that Lewis Nixon has determined rc get nominated by petition @ontinued on Second Page,)
