LANE CALLED CONFAB.
The conference last night was called by
City Chairman David H Lane and was a
preliminary "show down" by Senators
Vare and McNIchol. Incidentally, the
Organization leaders carefully went over
a list of more than 50 names of Mayoralty
possibilities and sifted them down to a
tentative eight.
In the sifting process, the name of
Louis J. IColb, who has been urged upon
the leaders by Governor Brumbaugh,
was among those dropped from considera
tion at this time, at least
Tho eight who survive are, In the order

MAY REVISE LIST.
The Organization will hold future
meetings and will ndd or subtract from
this list as they see lit, it was announced
after last night's confab. The above
list, however, represents the men who are
being seriously considered by the bosses
at this time.
The conferees last night kept away
from harsh words that might have car
ried through the" locked door behind
which they "frnnkly" discussed the sit
uation, and the confab was almost a
travesty on politeness.
McNIchol lieutenants named Vare fol

would have the support of the Vares,

bitrator, called for nominations." Others
around the table recommended the Mc
NIchol candidates. Who brought up the
name of Congressman Vnre Is still a
mystery, as the leaders are throning a
The conference lasted for tbr hnn,.
and at the end of It Lane appeared with
the list of eight. He looked n little wor
ried, and his manner Indicated that the
discussion had not brought about the
harmonious result that he wished After
announcing the select eight, he eold:
HOPE FOR HARMONY.
"We are striving for unanimity In the
selection of our choice for Mayor, and wo
hope to reach a harmonious decision. All
of the men attending the conference ex
pressed themselves as favoring har
mony." ,
Every one of tho eight men whose
names were finally left on the list met
with some opposition at the conference,
said Lane, and there may be changes In
tho list when It Is considered at future
conferences. Another meeting will be held
at the round tablo In about two weeks, he
said.
Senator McNIchol will go to Cleveland
and nttend the races in tho meantime.
Neither Senator Vare nor Senator Mc

meeting, "so, of course, we discussed his
name as little as possible."
"Did Senator Vare say his brother Is a
candidate?" the city chairman asked.
"He did not say that he wasn't,"
snnpped Lane, in answer.
The conference was the first held be
tween the leaders this year that has been
attended by tho Vares. Senator Vare rep
resented the South Philadelphia leaders.
The others who participated were Sena
tor McNIchol, City Chairman Lane, ex
Register of Wills David Martin and
Select Councilman Charles P. Seger.
These five men represented Organization
control over every ward ln Philadelphia.
DANGER OF BREAK.
That the possible candidacy of Con
gressman Vare Is worrjlng the McNIchol
faction was shown during all the three
hours of conforrlng. The Congressman
was excluded from the meeting and when
his name was reached on the list of 50,
there was little discussion except that If
he really In a candidate. It means a
"break." as1 Lane put It.
Senator McNIchol came to the confer
ence ready to fight If the necessity for It
arose. Senator Vare, however, only
smiled all during the confab, and made
no' move to Insist that the conferrees be
permitted to bring up the name of uny
candidate outside tho list of eight at any
time In the future. This was done after
the name ot Louis J. Kolb had been
dropped.
McNIchol yesterday afternoon went
over the entire situation with his lieu
tenants, nnd when he reached Lane's
room ln the Strand last night he had his
complete slate ready. It Included either
John T. Wlndrlm or William C. Had
dock for Mayor, ex-Receiver of Taxes
Hugh Black for Sheriff, Magistrate Mor
ris for County Commissioner and ex-
Magistrate Robert Henderson for one of
the downtown Magistrates. It Is over
the offices of Ma) or. Sheriff and County
Commissioner that a fight would be
waged in the event of a break between
the Vares and McNIchol.
David II. Una presented the names ot
Wlndrlm and ItadaocK at the conference.
The names of the others were not brought
up. Senator Vare made no recommenda
tions. Lane, who supported Congressman Vare
in 1S1L Is now openly aligned with Mc
NIchol, and according to politicians who
flocked to the shore last night to learn
the result of tne conrao oi me dosscs, no
will lead the fight for McNIchol In the
event of a split between McNIchol and
the Vares. Daytd Martin and Charles
Seger are also lined up with McNIchol,

friendly company last night.
