AND “WHAT THE USE?” Tammany Opinion Appears | to Favor Bensel for Gov- emor—Sulzer Mentioned. Aa the Democratic situation evolves Itself, there is every reason to elleve that the State convention n Thurs- @ay in Terrace Garden will be a quict Uttle tea party, from which cundidates Will emerge after having been selected with the utmost political finesse. So far ho one is allowed to know much about the grooming that ts going on. There 1's no open scramble for places on the ticket. It is a safe bet that Charles F. Murphy and h have the puzzle of picking one out of Afteen or more for the Governor's Job, fs they had two years ago. No boom “has been started with anything like pub- Welty, if the one launched three weeks Qgo at an east side dinner for William Bulser be except: Yeuterday, at the Hotel Knickerbocker, After, State Committeemen got over talking about “the flurry” at the meet- ing, @ member from just above the New York boundary line asked John A. Ma- fon, Gov. Dix's secretary: “Do you think the Governor will be @ Candidate again?" To this Mr. Mason replied in equal Berlousness with that which accom- pamied the question: “I really do not think he has given fnuch thouwmt to it." Then the two passed and neither Qnfled. Asa matter of gossip, the only time the Governor's name was men- tioned except this was as a possivle Gelegate-at-larse to the National Con- Vention. TAMMANY OPINION APPEARS TO FAVOR BENEEL. ‘The undercurrent of opinion among the Tammany Hall men is that the Molce will fall on John A. Bensel, State Engineer and Surveyor. He ts belleved to be the choice of Mr. Murbhy and in ® year when the Stat uation seems bo be safel; hold by the Tammany leader this appeared to be enough, Persons Who came from up the State brought teports that Mr. Bensel was working ep an organization trough the upper sounties. It was suggested that he @ight have a good lever through the and Department of Highways. nd Bensel and Sulzer no names ‘Were mentioned. ,,As for the Presidential candidate, all ached said it was ‘ose associates will not of H in Harmon, kota, 10; Gov, Mar- Here are some of the prophecies: y York State delegation wit! |" jon, Harmon will not get the nomination because the Fryan influence ts strong fnoush to prevent tt Wilson will go to the national conven- tion with a majority of the delegates, but not enough. Wileon can't be elected because he tan't carry New York, The ticket will be Clark and@ Hearst. It will be shown that Clark and Underwood are out only with the sole w@bject of keeping votes away from Aviison. It may be Bryan after all. Keep your eye on Gaynor. BELIEVE TAFT WILL LEAD THE ENEMY. Looking to the other side of the fence, {{ was the general opinion that the Sentiment of the Republican ‘orguniza- tion throughout the State ts for Taft. Being strong organization men, they de- clared that if Roosevelt were to bolt the tmdependent Democratic vote he Might attract would not amount to ‘much. “We have a good chance this time," ald one, “and the independents are Just @s eager to take hold of it as we are.” Having followed the course of William Barnes jr., Republican State Chairman, the Democratic observers could not fig- ure how he could turn to Hughes. “{ think that Barnes would throw the Taft boom into the Hudson River to- morrow and not bat an eye,” sald one. “I don't see how Earnes can tle up hi "was his rejoinder, low to forget, Besides, ¢ by chance Hughes were nominated and elects, where would Barnes come in on the State patronage? Hughes in Weshing- fon would be the same as Hughes in Albany.” ‘The Democrats are resting up a bit to-day after thelr committee meetings. They got four off their hands yester- day, The three last night in Tammany Hat were almost over before the late arrivals got seated. These chairmen were named: County Committee, Dr. ‘Thomas Darlington, former Health Com- missioner; Judiclary, Leslie W. Tomp- kins; Borough, Rartow 8, Weeks. Thos.

As the men, women and chil- dren, all in night clothes, ran into the main hallways, the thick smoke almost suffocated them. Some returned to thelr rooms and went to the front windows, Others climbed out on the fire escapes. About a dozen of the families fought their way through the smoke to the street. The Katses and Weitzlands had been hemmed in by the flames, and they fled down the rear fire escapes. At one end of the private hallway the kerosene-soaked clothes and papers were found. Near by were the demijohn | and quart bettle, A few minutes more and the oll would have been ignited Had this happened, the fireman said, the entire building would probably have deen in flames before aid could have arrived, and @ great loss of life might have followed, After the fire had been put out, most of the terror-stricken families refused to enter the building and stood in the street, shivering. The children cried to be taken indoors, as they stood on the sidewalk in bare feet. The smallest children were in their mothers’ arms, some with nothing over them but thin little bed sheets, which had been jseized with the bables when they were taken from their cribs. A soore of the tenants were taken in by friends. The Fire Marshal was informed of the circumstances and at once began an investigation. nt SHE COULD NOT WAKE HIM.
