Eminent Brooklyn Democrats received init.
nations yesterday that e~x.Assemblynnn John
B. Stnnchnold Of ElmirR, former law mariner of
ex-senator David b. Hill, is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor next
year. The news concerning MIR. stancb.
fields aspirations was coincident with Mr..
Stanchneld's arrival at tho Hoffman Houae
in New York. TIT Hon. Hugh Mclaughlin. tho
veteran leader OF the Brooklyn Democrncv. has
been for dfto n years the warm friend Of Mr..
Hill, and In q recent interview Mr.. Mclaughlin
attributed tho success Of tho Democratic CAM
paign to Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Mclaughlin, In hat In
terview, spoke Of Mr.. Hill In tho highest ter q.
and Insisted that't the success Of the Democrats
In Greater Ne York and In New York State
was duo entirely to the lines Of battle
laid down by Mr.. Hill. In view Of this
situation Mr.. Stanchfeld, IL was asccrtainod
yesterday. has naturally called upon the Brook.
Ign Democrats first OF all to remember that he
is o candidate for Governor. Mr.. Mclaughlin,
1t was learned yesterday, has not in any way
committed himself to Mr.. Stanchfold's candi-
eoNys nav yot ~ mo 'o bblu "lLuOuG l0HI OF
contradiction that Mr.. Mclaughlin and his
friends arc agreeable to any programme that
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Stanchfeld may submit.
MIR. Stanchneld's visit to New York at this
time and the OF the Brooklyn Dem.
ocrats on his candidacy for Governor have
been accepted In some quarters to mean that
the Democrats are hopeful OF electing their
State ticket next year. and with the election Of
their State ticket expect to capture the ~Iegiela-
ture. Mr.. Hill, his friends said. is confident of
this result next year. He Is the warm political
friend Of Mr.. Stanchfleld. and the wheels have
already been set moving to bring about Mr..
Stanchield's nomination for Governor.
In view of the foregoing statements many
Bro klyn Democrats in Mr.. McLaughlin's camp
could not quite understand yesterday tho atti-
tude OF ex.District Attorney James w. Ridgway.
Mr.. Ridgway Is one Of the most popular Demo-
Gratis in Brooklyn. He is a young man. o
hustler. an orator. and q fighter, and he

Eminent Democrats familiar with what is 60

vote on the successor to Mr.. Murphy arc then
to be elected MIR. Hill desires very much TO
succeed Mr.. Murphy in the United States Sem
ate: Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Murphy have been worm
political friends for a dozen We RS, and friends
situat on yesterday. said that they feared
that II the Democrats ca,ptpred the Legislature
many friends OF Mr.. Hill and OF Mr.. Muir.
which would lead to misconstruction and
unpleasantness. Mr.. Murphy's friends say
he 10 not an orator like MIR. Hill,
but hat he is thoroughly acquainted with tho
desires OF business men and had made a very
much moro practical statesman in the United
States Senate than Mr.. Hill. In, view OF all
these comments. and with the belief of tho
Democratic that they are TO capture the Legis.
Of Mr.. Murphy are becoming somewhat uneasy
as to their course.
