A Boston evening paper claimed General John M Corse would be appointed collector of the port of Boston. Corse told a Post reporter he has made no application and warned such stories originate with a Washington reporter. He noted the Massachusetts state committee has done nothing to distribute or fix offices, beyond one member, Mr Pratt of Greenfield, who got his appointment without committee influence.

Most supported the plan, though three dealers objected with amendments. Session to resume tomorrow.
