Stale If California. the magnitude of the
controversy can be judged. 1t is stated
on the streets by New Workers who are
in POSITION TO know that Mr.. Hunting
ton viii be ablo to command the support
Of the Empire state in his fight against
the interests in opposition to him. but
that seems a radical assertion, since it
is known that Huntington is not person
ary popular with political magnates in
New York. one rumor that has lately
he,Y attracting considerable attention
is 10 the effect that Russell Sage has
promised his aid to Huntington, and that
through Sage the metropolitan bankers
will employ their influence in favor of
the rsfunding bill. But in the face OF
this report is the fact that many bankers
are hotly opposed to Huntington and the
Pacific interests. 1t appears. further
more. that the New York delegation in
congress has been sounded and that they
are TO a man in favor of dealing with
this railroad debt matter in no lenient way
so far as concerns Huntington. 1t is an
odd circumstance that the origin of
Huntngton's personal unpopularity,
which is said to be costing him power
f1i support in New York. is ascribed to
the hauteur of his daughter shortly after
her arrival with her prince of a husband.
She looked down upon the ordinary hnan-
c.srs families, and in one case inflicted
severe snub. The women remember the
occasion and it is noteworthy that the in
fuence now striving TO undo Huntington
is largely feminine The contest prom
tes to involve social as well as financial
interests. and to become one Of the most
famous episodes in our history. 1t is
well known in society that Miss Hunting
ton took great pride in a coat of arms
that somebody contrlved for her. and
now the snubbed society con-
tingent are whispering that the
broom and pail and ak of Hunt
ingtons early days would be more APP
propriate. This is because Of assertions
that If Huntington losees his present
tight he may have to begin life all over
again.
Inc railway magnate Huntington. is him

New York financiers who have conversed
