JACQUES, President of the Hotel Men's Association, TO HOLD A CONVENTION HERE WOULD WIN VOTES. Senator McCarren Declares that So Much Enthu- siasm Could Be Aroused that It Would Help Win the State. Patrick H. McCarren, Democratic leader of Kings County, declared to- day that the holding of the Democratic National Convention in New York City would aid largely the chances for success of the Democratic party in 1904, At his office, at No. 4 Court place, Brooklyn, Senator McCarren was surrounded by district leaders when a reporter for The Evening World called on him. The leaders were all discussing the movement started by The Evening World to bring the Democratic Convention to New York, “Its the best thing the Democratic party can do," they all agreed. Senator McCarren suddenly turned to the reporter. His Jaw was set as jt always is when he becomes emphatic. His eyes sparkled and he crumpled a paper in his hand. WILL HELP THE PARTY. “In starting that movement and subscribing that $5,000 for bringing the Democratic National Convention to New York,” the Senator began, “The Evening World has opened a way to add largely to the chances for Democratic success in 1904, To hold that convention here cannot fall to enthuse the people of the East, and it will enthuse them, {n a way that will bring the doubtful States into Democratic line. “I have studied this question and believe what I say will be borne out. There are 39 electoral votes in New York. Don't you think holding the convention in New York City will enthuse the people of the State to stand by the party as they wouldn't do otherwise? There is Connecticut, a doubt- ful State; Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and West Virginia, all in the doubtful list. They can send their delegates here in a few hours. They are close enough to have the enthusiasm felt in New York felt by them. I believe that holding the convention here would have a beneficial effect in all of them NO ARGUMENT AGAINST NEW YORK. “But leave the question of adding to Democratic strength out, and there can be no logical argument against New York having that convention, In the first place, New York can accommodate such a convention, and there is no other city on this continent that can. We have the hotel accommoda- tions, the railroad facilities and the comforts that no other city can boast, We haven't jhad a National Convention for thirty-six years. Its time wo had another. “Concerted action on the part of the Democrats in New York would have to come from the National Committeeman, Mr. Norman E. Mack. Should he ask that there be concerted action there would be concerted | action, Each individual leader in the State would take up the movement. | I don't know of a Democrat in New York State who would not favor New | York City for the convention. I, for one, will do all in my power to bring success to my home city, not merely because it is my home, but because I belleve the choosing of New York will strengthen the Democratic party.” But Magistrate Deuel did not take the one en: He discharged all the men, and sald: “This thing of hauling tn men on no Juatifiable, even on the occasion of the opening of a bridge.

DANIELS, OF THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD: “Every merchant, every restaurant man, and, in fact, every one doing business’ in the city—even express- men—would feel the boom. They would reap more profits, proportionally, than the railroads, because the railroads would have to cut their regular rates almost in two. This cut would bring thousands of tourists from all parts of the United States to our city. People who care nothing about the Convention itself would come just because of the low rates. “The time of the year, the summer season, when the near-by resorts are doing their best business, would also be a factor in inducing Westerners and Southerners to make a trip to the Far East. People who never thought of visiting I think there would be twice as many visitors attracted to New York HE GREATE ek. “From the city’s standpoint there is no argument to be used against havin spite low rates, there is no doubt.

In fact, no plans can be formulated until after the national com- mftteemen decide on the city that is 0 get the National Democratic Convention. “That the railroads touching New York, and egpecially the New York Cen- tral, even with its four tracks and great roll .

ENGINEER SHOWS WONDERFUL NERVE He Runs His Locomotive fof Twenty Miles After a Bad Fall in Which He Sustained a Broken Arm. (Sneotal to The Rvening World.) STAMFORD, Conn., Dec. 19.—Clement K. Bilainis, of Danbur; an engineer employed on the Consolidated road, was running the eastbound extra freight No. 50, whieh left Harlem River this morn- ing, when at Harrison, N. ¥.. the sand pipes became clogged. Billanis left his cab and crawted out on the engine to remove the obstruction. He was crawl- ing back when he slipped and fell from the engine. The train was moving at the rate of 30 miles an hour. When the fireman stoped tho train and picked Billenia up he was suffering from a broken atm end some foarful bruises, ‘The fireman waatod to wait for a pasaing train to take Lillanis baci to New York, A passenger trait following on the same track, and than cause any delay Willanis to pusn his train on to Staintord.
