davits Amount to Nothing and That
He Will Be Nominated and the People
Will Elect Him Governor of New York.
A lbany, N. Y, September 2s.-The
supporters of Gov. Black tonight disclosed
the grounds of their confidence in their
ability to defeat Col. Roosevelt for the
nomination. They claim that Col. Roose-
velt is ineligible to run as candidate
for Governor in this state at this time.
Superintendent of Public Works Al
bridge with a delegation of Republicans
who have been affiliated with him in the
fight for Governor Blacks denomination
as against Mr.. Roosevelt, left for New
York city this afternoon to tell Senator
Platt ana the local Republican leaders
why Mr.. Roosevelt is "ineligible.
Gov, Blacks friends claim to have
documentary evidence showing that when
Col Roosevelt was sworn in as assistant
secretary of the navy he swore to his resi- :
dence as Washington, d. Q. The federal
constitution provides that persons holding
office in the federal governments retain
their residences in the state from which
they are appointed, but when Col. Roose-
velt resigned his portfolio, in the navy
department., he retired to private life.
Afterwards he enlisted in the army, ana
in accepting his commission, 1t Is stated,
he again swore to his residence as Wash.
ington, ID. G.
It is claimed that further evidence of
the Colonel's ineligibility is afforded in
the fact that he was assessed for personal
property in the town of Oyster Bay. L..
l., and later appeared before the tax COM
rlissioners and swore off the assessment
on the ground that he was not resident
of Oyster Bay, but was resident OF
