The state Committee estimates that not over 100
delegates. or about One-hfth of the whole number
are mere. Uader these circumstances there is not
much that is decisive to be said and some of the
hest Informed Inen on both sides privately admit
+not they cannot foresee the result yet. One OF the
,uost noticeable features of the situation Is the quiet
and aunarentlv depressed mood of some OF the fOl-
ger leaders. This is the more notable because IL Is
in strong contrast with the usual stalwart method
which IS TO make loud claims and assume conf-
dence though they have il not. They claim Fol-
gers nomination as perss,enty as ever but do 1t IN
a adubious way which Is curiOusy unlike the stall
warts.
Governor Cornclps supporters who are plainly
having the best of the early canvasSing SO lar
as ou side impressions go, have been taking
steps with regard to the temporary organization
OF he convention. Senator Warner Miller arrived
here this evening. HIS parOrs were soon hlled with
Geutendnts of Governor Cornell. 1t Is understood
that steps were taken toward JOINT action with the
Wadsworth men for the control of the convention.
The Cornell men say there can be no doubt
that the anti-Admiuistration men, counting the
Cornell men and the WadswOrth men as such, have
4 considerable majority in the convention, and they
certainly seem likely to control 1t, even IT moderate
estimates of the strength of each taken. 1t is
believed that they will work ir harmony IN all
such matters both in the State Committee and
convention, and secure many Important advan-
tags. Senator Pitts is mentioned for temporary
Chairman, Beyond this point the eyes OF the best
prophets seem 10 grow dim.
The friends of Congressman WUdswor,h are evil
IDENTIFY hopeful that if they can keep their man In
the field long enough, the FOlger men may vote for
him 10 beat Cornell or the Cornell men vote for HIM
10 beat Folger hut there are good many
difficulties i'll the way of either OF these
combinations. Folgers strength isstrcty Stalwart.
Tier, Is hardly a district counted for Fogcr except
in Onondaga and perhaps OF two Others which
are not traditionally Stalwar and IN the OnOndaga
districts it is said that of The delegate are for
FolQer only because the Republicans there did
not realize how Congressman Hisc0ck and
James j. Belden stood toward the Administration
The Cornell men argue that it Is iuIpo sibe that
the whole of Folgcrs strength, all Stalwart, shall
be gwen to Mr. Walsworth, tradltiOnally an mii-
Stalwart. even to beat Cornell. On the other hand
they feel that the Cornell men will under no cir
cumstances, go over bodily to Wadsworth. They
feel that it is Wad,worth's candidacy which
il preventing COrnelPs nomination on the
first ballot, and is making danger that
he may not be nominated. Therefore, if at any
time they find they cannot nominate Cornell they
Will not take up th3 man who has stood in the way
OF q union of all the auu-Adminstraton elements
Oh Corue, but some new man.
All this IS said without any hard feeling toward
MI Wadsworth. There seem to be excel
lent relations between the two bod
les. Representative Cornell men say that mum
beg of The WadSwOrth men are really for Cornell,
bur feel that they are rejecting the wishes of their
constituents more nearly by supporting adSWOTih.
against an Administration candidate that the Cor
nell men believe they Will unhcSItatingy vote
for the Governor, If the time comes when they
must make choice between him and an
Administration candidate. IL IS tins belief that
gives the Cornell men their confidence that the
Governor viii be nomnated-a confidence which IS
strongest in the minds of OF the srcw widest
they have. Detailed estimates of the vote cannOl
be made yet, If indeed it viii he possible
10 do satisfactorily before the Conycn-
ton meets. There seems TO be no doubt That
some of the Ncw-lOrH men have made prom
lses 10 both Sides The makeup Of the Kings
County delegation is uncertain and number, Of
delegates have been elected throughout the State
without Instructions, whose exact position VIII not
be- known until they arrive here.
Thus ar hardly more can be said than that
the Cornell men show confidence
than the followers of Judge FOlgcr.
The Cornell men making the most Of Judge Fol-
g1,s deledt M his own county. which they think
