coaches and dining-room and observation
cars.
The coaches were well filled with New York
City's most prominent Republican politicians
and hotel men. who propose to demand OF the
Republican National Committee that they
recognize the claims OF this city to the Con-
vention because OF the peculiar advantages
for the holding OF a Convention which the
city offers and its Importance to the party.
They will tell the Committee that New
York has the best convention hall In the
country. the best and the mcst hotels and
the best OF everything, in TACT, in the way OF

The only thing which 1t hasn't got is can

will say that this city should be chosen, as
there will be no packing OF the galleries In

$4,000 FOR A HOTEL HALLBOY.
St Mares Guests Robbed of
Money and Jewelry.

Leroy Turner, colored hall 10y, seventeen
years old. Of 30 seventh avenue is locked
up at Police Headquarters, charged with the
theft OF $4,000 in money and Jewelry from
guests OF the st. Marc Hotel, Thirty-ninth
ployed.
For several weeks past gueSts have COM
plaincd TO Proprietor j. II. Nutting that
their rooms have been robbed. Mr.. Nutting
came to the conclusion that the thief was
connected with the house, because all the
robberies occurred during the temporary
absence OF the occupants from their rooms.
Notwithstanding that close watch was
kept no one was detected, and Mr.. Nutting
finally decided to call In the assistance Of
Inspector Byrnes. lie detailed Detectives
Armstrong and Clark, who installed them.
selves In the hotel.
From that day the robberies ceased and the
detectives thought that the thief had got
warning ana escaped.
They had their suspicious aroused, how
ever, by the actions OF Leroy, who spent most
Of his time In the halls upstairs when he had
no business there, and who was seen several
times to look cautiously up and down the
halls, and then, believing himself unobseryed,
tiptoe up TO door and peep in.
Leroy was kept In sight after that, yet he
succeeded in eluding the detectives long
enough yesterday to rob the room OF Mr..
Whcelock, Of Chicago. He was not caught 10
the act and not arrested. When he left FOR
home the detectives followed him.
They saw him enter pawn shop and pawn
a lacepin containing twenty-eight diamonds.
He said he had found 1t, but he could not ac-
count for number OF pawn tickets for other
articles stolen from the hotel which were
found In his pocket.
This morning the detectives took Leroy to

manded for further examination.

That You Pleaded to Be Governor,
Even for Thirty Days2
And Promised TO Do What Was
Agreeable, II You Might?
Strange Story Said to BE Vouched
for by Two state Officials.

ALBANY, Nov 21.-1t Is reported In Demo-
cratic circles here that Lieut.. Gov. Jones.
while here Wednesday and Thursday OF this
week, approached three state officials and
other prominent Democrats on the subject OF
the resignation or Gov. Hill.
AS the story goes. and It Is vouchod for by
the state orlcers, Lieut.. t..Gov. Jones wants
to have his name entered upon the
state archives as Governor, even
for thirty days, and agrees to
pledge himself, II he be allowed to MI the
Gubernatorial chair during the month OF De-
cember, to carry out every plan Gov. Hill
might suggest until MIR, Flower should come
into Office on the lst Of January.
In other words, Gen. Jones said II he should
be allowed to attain his greatest ambition,
even for one month, he would not endeavor
to use the oflce In any way, as some Demo-
Gratis fear he might, and would not make any
changes whatever In the state. Government.
The three officials who had each been
waited upon in turn, told Gen. Jones that
they could not consistently be a party to
placing In the Gubernatoriul chair man who
fought the Democratic State ticket, as did
he, at the last election.

are asking odds OF 8 to 3, but without much
success. No bets at even money have been
heard OF.
There has been no change since yesterdays
announcement in the makeup OF the teams
as they will line up on the field this after
noon. Dexter will probably play lett guard
for Harvard, and sanford will be substitute
for stillman at Yale's centre.
The men are fl the pink OF condition, and
botn teams will go into the field feeling conf
dent OF victory. Harvard's supporters rely
upon the individual work of some OF their
crack players and their heavy mon back OF
the line to carry the pigskin Into Yale's ter
ritory.
They believe that their team work is ex-

games Is away ahead OF anything heretofore

that Yale's great strength lies here.

1t Is rumored that the centre bucking game
will be a feature OF the New Haven boys

by Bull, Rhodes, Wurtemburg, Camp Knapp

Their opinion Is that Yale will surely win.
The Harvard coaches have been keeping
very quiet about their players, and 1t is this
secrecy and mystery about the team from
Cambridge which has made many unbiased
lovers Of the sport believe that Yale has by
no means as sure thing as her sympathizers
