New York state would have on the ma
tional campaign, II any.

be tho thing, you know. Why, my opinion
would be mere conjecture mt best. Be-
sides, I.know hut little about tho situation
In New York, anyway"

among them is the disintegration of the
Democratic party. They claim, of course,
= harmony on tho state ticket, but 1t Is

when the ballots are counted.
