New York. Feb. 6.-New York Republic
ans have by no means given up hope that
this state will be represented in Mr.. Nc
K:nleE'S cabinet, and those who discuss
I thet subject declare that they know the
ground upon which they are treading. But
those who will talk admit that one or
Two complications have arisen. IL is
TIE purpose of the Republicans who are
watching things in the absence of United
States SenatOr-elect Thomas c. Platt to
iron out these wrinkles. if possible and
TO present TO Mckinley the name of a
republican who will represent all inter-
ests- By this it must not be understood
that the claim of General Stewart L.
Woodford of Brooklyn has been aban-
doned. but nevertheless. il is said that
4 II became absolutely necessary Cen
eral WOOdfOrd would be set aside and an
effort will be made to unite all ReDub-
EcanS in behalf of Representative James
g Sherman of Utica. No such step is
contemplated at the moment, but many
things may happen.
One of the complications arises from
the TACT that number of the personal
and social friends of Ex-Governor Levi p
Morton believe that ne should be made
ambassador to Er<land- This has been
new feature, injected into the situation.
AID 1t has CAUSED a heap Gf trouble. 1t
IS asserted in the inner circles of the
republican party that Mr. Mckinley a
Ettle over two weeks ago was asked to
net, and that Mr.. Mckinley did not re-
ce!ve the idea favorably. After that it
was determined by Mr.. Morton friends
to make him candidate for ambassador
to England. and to all intents and pur-
poses 1t was said last night. Mr. Morton

Republican organization of the state of
-New York has offered to Chauncey NJ

tor as TO cabinet place for the New

become mighty interesting.
To sum Up the situation concerning the

t!on of the state has no objection what
ever to the appointment of General Hor-
ace Porter to be ambassador to. France.
- PreSidSnt-elec Mckinley would like to-
have Cornelius n. Bliss and some of the
personal friends of Mr. Bliss indorse
General WOodford for attorney-general.
1t was declared that Mr.. Bliss does not
desire to do this and that General Porter
and AnSon G. McCOok and others of Mr..
Bliss personal friends, sustain him in
mis- position.
The foregoing is the situation which
confronts the Republican organization of
the state. and in view of the alleged op-
position of Cornelius n. Bliss to Cen
eral WoodfOrd it may be decided within
a day or two by the Republican organi~
zatiOn to drop General WOodford and,
concentrate on Representative Sherman
it is stated on the authority 4
of Chairman O'Dell of the executive state
committee, that Mr.. Sherman is not d
candidate against General WOOdford.
The situation. according to well informeds
is not by any means a preas-
ant one. The complication over the am
bassadorship to England will. it is said.
leave an unpleasant taste in the mouths
of many Republicans, and it was added
that the decision about this great place
of ambassador to England will have very
much to do with the selection q New
York Republican for McKinley's cabinet.
