Tcner, of the National league, and other magnates are here for a conference in the case against Charles W. Murphy, president of the Chicago Nationals, but what the out come will be is a question, as Murphy will not be present, owing to an attack of lumbago. In the opinion of those present., it would be folly to go ahead without Murphy, as well as unfair. The news that President Murphy," of the Chicago Nationals, would not be able to attend proved quite an upset to Herrmann. "I don't know Just what we can do or what we shall do." he exclaimed. Of course, it is neither right nor legal to touch on any affairs of Mr. Murphy in his absence, and since Governor Tener has not yet arrived the situation is perplexing. Still I have great confidence in Tener. I firmly believe that he has found a solution of all existing problems, with out prejudice or injustice to anybody, and that he will to-morrow present a decision which will be acceptable to all of us, oven to Mr. Murphy, should that gentleman be unable to attend. If Tener has not yet reached a de cision, however, I am unable to say what can be done—whether the meet ing would have to be postponed oi carried on just the same." A serious attack of lumbago will prevent the attendance of Charles W. Murphy, the Chicago Nationals' presi dent, at to-day's meeting. This was announced by his secretary, Charles Thomas, who said President Murphy, who has been suffering from lumbago for some time, had found it necessary to leave his downtown office and go to his homo. The meeting at Cincinnati, it is thought, will concern the Chicago Na tionals vitally, the transfer of Sweeney and Perdue from Boston to the Cubs being on the program for consid eration. The Chicago club probably will be represented by Charles P. Taft. of Cincinnati, who is understood to be a large stockholder in the club.
