That High Gears Are Losing Ground.
Tonight there will be n meeting Of the Nomi-
mating Committee OF the New York State Divls-
Ion OF the l.. A. W. at which names will DO pre-
scented for the Offices Of Chief Consul and Vice.
Consul. to DO voted upon next fall. Many candi-
dates arc In the field. Judge q. +. Simms. Jr.
who last year was talked OF rs an opposition
candidate to Walter jenkins, is one who would
probably accept tho office OF Chief Consul and
who would make an excellent executive officer. |
Milo NJ. Boiling. tho present Woe Consul. de-
serves promotion, and by some It is thought
that he hopes for II. Louis nosenfeld. Senior
Consul Of the local Consulate. has done some
strong work for the division In this city.
and It Is thought by more than q few that
he would be q reasonable candidate. Charles
+. Cossum Of Poughkeepsle Is another who has
been mentioned in the political circles Of the
League us a good man who would like the office.
Tho question Of ]. d. Potter again becoming
tho executive head OF the state has not been
preached until within q few weeks. Potter will
not again run for the Presidency. Some think
that no is sorry he has II now. Tho greatest
| work that he has done has boon In this State
and q greet many consider him to be the only
| logical candidate for Chief Consul. He built up
the membership OF the division, aud now that
It Ia losing so rapidly 1t Is thought that he is the
only man who could restore the State lender
ship In the ranks Of the League. 1t Is not un-
likely that the Nominating Committee
will tonight name Potter. He hns made
come enemies and some opposition 10 likely
to DO made II no concludes to run for Chief
Consul. but the difficulty OF his antagonists
will be to find q capable man who is we'll
enough known to have o chance and ls willing
TO run against such o hard-aghting politician
as Potter has shown himself to be. That he
will accept the nomination is assured BY the
fact that II has several times been said that he
