Wllon refrained from making anynutement for publication y re-

specting his long conference with Col.E. M. House In New York last night,but he was enthusiastic In his tributeto the judgment and political acumencf his friend.

There Is no doubt In the minds oithose close to Gov. WJlson that thepurpose of the hastily arranged meet-ing waa to put the finishing touches ona Cabinet elate, nor Is there any doubtthat through Col. House the President-elect waa made acquainted with theviews of Col. William J. Bryan as tothe availability of one or two menwhose selection has been held In abey-ance.

It waa the second conference theGovernor has had with Col. Houso sincetne latter returned from Miami, Flo.,where he conferred with Col. Bryanlefore the latter went to Cuba on atanking tow? Mr. Bryan returned toFlorida on Monday, and on Mondaynight Col. House called the Governorby telephone and asked him to come toNew York tho following day.

Gov. Wilson kept his plans secret forthe Drst timo since he was elected. Butin his talk with tho newspaper mento. night he permitted tho impression topre.ul that CoL House's Judgment Ishighly valued when It comes to making

n .inportant political decision. Thereis no doubt now that the I'rcsldent-clec- thas a tentative slate of Cabinet choicesiiearly fixed in his mind, although heays he must wait until ho Is In-

Wilson will mnke the decision,but hi) has nssuted himself that theNani'ns members of his administrationfam:l will be congenial to one another.S'lih influence as Mr. Bryun had haslen exercised in the capacity of atcns.ir rather than a chooser.

Xew Rasis for DelegateRepresentation.

Warhinoton, Feb. 19. The movementin the Republican party to hold n na-

tional convention next falldefinite form when Kllhu Root,

who was chairman of tho last conven-tion, Issued a formal statement declar-ing that he was In favor of such agathering.

Mr. Hoot said that the conventionought to be called to arrange a newbasis of representation In the nationalconvention for the Southern States, undnl.o to provide for the election of dele-

gates by the direct Presidential primarysystem In States which have laws pro-viding for this method,

Senator Hoot'M statement was In-

dorsed formally by Senator Crane ofMassachusetts, onn of the active leadersof the party, and a member of theNational Committee.

Here Is Senator Hoot's formal state-ment:

"I am In favor of a Ilrpubllcan conven-tion to b held at some convenient timenext Jail or winter for the purpose ofdoing two things;

"First, to makp representation In na-tional conventions proportional to theHepubllean vote, that Is, correcting thedisproportion In what is spoken of .is theSouthern representation.

'Second, the Republican of each Stateto elect delegates to national eotiventfiinsin their own way so th.it the choice Ineach State will be regulated accordlnrf tothe laws of the State.

"In order that these changes shall boeffectual In the convention to nominate ,iPresident the must be made before thatconvention and that can be done only bya special convention. The National Commlttee U still Ixiund by the old ruleswhich erc adopted by the convention.

This statement by .Mr. Hoot represents the first move on the part of theRepublican party leaders toward put-ting the organization on a more pro-gressive liasls.

The question of the South's repre-sentation has bobbed up at nearly everyRepublican convention and has been thesource of dissension and the cause ofcharges In regard to the use of Federalpatronage.

The question of the election of dele-gates under the laws enacted by eachState was a particularly Irritatingfeature at the Chicago convention. Itwas this question that led to the Roose-velt charges against the Nutlonal Committee In throwing out the Californiacontests.

One of Its chief purposes, It was saidby a Republican leader will lieto arrange a new liasls of representa-tion In the next national convention forthe Southern States.

There Is n difference of opinion amongtho Republican leaders In Congress nsto the form the reorganlKition move-me-

should take. Senator Borah ofIdaho sees little to be gained by hold-ing a conference. Some of the Pro-gressives arc Insisting that the old linoleaders in the Republican organizationshould eliminate themselves and turnthe reorganization work over to

Police.

Definite Information was obtained lastnight eorrolMiratlng the icporls cm rentfor several days that Inspector DennisSweeney, under Indictment for grafting,has begun negotiations looking towimlcooperation with the District Attorney "in

the tatter's Investigation of police Kraft.It Is t'he understanding that DistrictAttorney Whitman, If h msents toenter upon a tieaty with the accusedInspector, will Insist upon severe con-

ditions and even then will not consentto any proposal Involving Immunity.

The Inspector appealed for pleadingbefore Justice Goff in the criminalbranch of the Supreme Court yesterday.

nel, Alfred J. Talley, asked per- -

to enter a pten of not guilty.with leave to withdraw the idea andplead anew later on.

Justice Guff declined to accept sucha conditional (ilea and put over 1 its

date for pleading to next Monday.This request for permission to enter

a conditional plea strengthened therumors that the inspector was consider-ing becoming a State witness andlater Information gave definite

to the reports. If he decidesto tell what he knows to the DistrictAttorney it Is lHleved that the In-

spector will lie going over the head ofhis counsel, Mr. Talley, who stateddefinitely through an associate onTuesday that Sweeney would pliad notguilty yesterday morning.

Mr. Talley 1 a member of the lawcommittee of Tammany Hall and isclosely associated with political affairs.Information which Is now In the handsof the District Attorney connects cer-

tain politicians with the police situationas revealed In" the charges against In-

spector Sweeney, nnd tho selection of alawyer with Mr. Talley's political affil-iations to defend the Inspector has addedto the Interest In this phase.

Names of the collectors for both parI

ties to these transactions are In thohands of the District Attorney.

A new line of development came yes-terday in the Investigation of Sweeney'saffairs. This had to do with the Lenoxavenuo police precinct, which wasformed when the Kast 120th street sta-tion precinct waa split In two last July.Witnesses examined by District Attor-ney Whitman and Assistant DistrictAttorney Groehl yeterdny gave thoprosecutor details of nn nrrangetnent bywhich Inspector Sweeney himself toikover nil the graft collected In the newprecinct, a part of which before thesplit of the original Kast 120th streetprecinct had gone to ('apt. Walsh.

When the new precinct was formedCapt. Harney Kelllher was usslgned nnits commander. Kelllher was named byJames Purcell. gambler. In his testimonybefore the Curran committee as one ofthe captains who would not accept pro-tection money.

According to the testimony which hasbeen given to the District Attorney Kel-llher was never approached with respectto the graft In the new precinct, but col-lections Were made direct by plainclothes men attached to tho Inspector'sstaff.

One of the wltne.se. who told of thesethings to Mr. Whitman yesterday willbe called before the extraordinary GrandJury this morning and repent his story.This witnoss was Leroy Wllklns. anegro, brother of Haron Wllklns, pro-prietor of a widely known Tenderloinresort.

Wllklns runs a place of his own atlSTith street and Fifth avenue. He toldthe District Attorney yesterday that hehad paid $f.n a month for the two yearsprior to July 1 last to Policeman Fox,collector for o.pt. Walsh.

Fox, he said, came to him July 1,bringing along Policeman Peter .1. Duffyof Inspector Sweeney's stuff. Fox, hesays. Introduced Duffy as the man whowould do the collecting.

Wllklns says that Duffy would oomntn the saloon, that Wllklns would meethim outside nnd walk up the streetwith him, handing him the money onthe way.

Tho work of the extraordinary GrandJury y will centre around Duffy.Both Wllklns and Policeman Fox willbe witnesses. Another witness prob-ably will be J. W. Connors, negro, whohas a place in West ISMd street andwho told the District Attorney yester-day of paying protection money toDuffy.

Statements made to the Investigatorsnre that $50 a Sunday was collectedfrom two baseball tlelds In Harlem bythreats to arrest programme sellersthat they were violating the Sundaylaw. No admission Is charged for thesoSunday games.

Commissioner Wnldo said he wouldbring to trial and dismiss from theforce tiny policeman found guilty ofInterfering with the District Attorney.

Policeman John J. Ilartlgau, Indictedon Monday, like Inspector Sweeney,asked for permission tn enter a con-ditional plea. His request also was ro-

used, and the date for pleading was setdown for next Monday.

soiling for the Fntermyer plan toregulate the New and other stockexchanges through the exercise of thopower which Federat Governmenthas over the 1'nlted States malls undthe telegraphic service of tho country.

In fact the question has rulsdseriously In committee whether ornot tho Federal Government will beable to accomplish any reforms In thisway.

In suggestions tlirown out Incourse of the committee's Inquiry itwus apparent that plan on whichthe committee was proceeding tocompel the Incorporation 'of the New

Stock Exchange andthrough prohibiting transmis

sion In commerce of quotaunless the by

the Federal Government compliedwith.

It was pointed nt 's

Ing of the committee that a lawmight bring the New York Kx- -

chance within the control of ttieernl Government, but It would the

powerless to enforce thelaw In regurd other exchanges whosequotations are not transmitted exten-sively lnterstnte commerce.

The general impression was that thoFederal would have greatdifficulty In prescribing rules and regu-

lations that could be through-out country. A growing sentiment

evident among members of thecommittee regulation ofstock exchanges vnrloU Stategovernments.

Tho general Impression abong Demo-

crats of the House Is that the com-

mittee now will not attempt legislationalong this but will present a strongreport urging action on the partState governments.

The committee haa sent for copiesof the bills regulating the New
