GOT BLACK IS EMPHATIC
Insists Upon Being q Gandi-
date For denomination.
REFUSES PLATT'S URGINGS
Events ,Pso.isea in the
Coming Bcp1l.liceR Convention
mt Saratoga-Factional Disturb
ances That May Cause Roosevelt
to Postpone Political Aspirations

New York. Aug. 2I-Gov. Blacks mind
is irrevocably fixed upon the purpose OF
securing a denomination for the CHIEF
magistracy Of this State. no matter who
suffers. His friends. and they are neither
few nor without influence. intend to pre-
cipitate fierce fight in the coming con-
vention.
Only day or two ago Senator Platt
wrote to Lou Payne, State superinten-
dent Of Insurance. requesting him 10
feel Gov. Black. Platt made big prom
ises IL Black would conform to his views.
He declared that If the governor would
decline a denomination he should certainly
wear the senatorial mantle that now
hangs upon the shoulders of Mr.. Croker's
friend, Murphy.
Black was indignant when Payn made
the proposition. Tell Senator Piatt," he
said. that would not accept his promise
of support for the Presidency IL the con-
dition were that should not be a candi-
date for denomination for governor
Here comes in the entering wedge for
much trouble and many dissensions.
The Roosevelt boom has started and Is
making great headway, but its guardians
fear that the gallant soldier, when he
sees that factional disturbance In the
party Is likely to be the outcome of II,
will say. like Mercutio, "a plague on both
your houses" and passively await chances
TO figure again In other fights than DO
litical ones.
The fact Is that the governors friends
all expected his denomination anyway,
and let the Roosevelt boom get a big
start before they attempted to check it.
The ground they take Is that Governor
Black Is entitled to a denomination, no
matter who else wants the honor They
say Blacks record makes 1t a plain case
Of party obligation.
A feeble attempt is being made to have
the Citizens Union put up an indepen-
dent State ticket with Seth Low at its
head. The Idea Is not taken seriously.
Blacks partisans rfdicule the Roosevelt
boom. One of the governors intimates
said: What would become Of the ma
chine should Roosevelt be nominated for
governor? 1t would not be a month be-
fore Roosevelt would have the State tu-
multuous from reformers. good and bad,
and what would the politicians do them"
1t is argued. also. that should Black be
reelected. the Black-Payn-Aldrige COM
bination would find its first duty to be
the annihilation Of Platt men. and with
two years more Of Black-Payn-Aldridge
rule they hope to compass Platt's destruc-
ton.
Platt they regard as an open enemy to
Black Roosevelt they know to be a
Platt-destroying agency: SO the "coun-
try combination fears most now Platt-
chosen dark horse" whose Plat colors
are hidden pending election agony.
The Black army is for open war: Black
himself Is courageous. Payn has always
been a fighter and Aldridge's tenacity in
troublous times cannot be denied. All
these men are friends. and have repu-
tation for sticking to one another and
one another's fr!enSs. and they have fully
determined that Black shall be renomi-
mated for governor.

The hot yeather prevailing In Europe
has. attracted the closest attention from

ry A. Hazen and Charles F. Marvin have
given 7 the most careful study for the
Weather Bureau.
That the present heat wave and that
of three weeks ago are unusual Is admit

tive. The most prominent meter01ogists
are out of the city. but Chief Willis L.
Moore. of the Weather Bureau. has made
the following statement, which presents
briefly and clearly the result of all the
Investigations that have been made. He

imagined could exist. Men in all stages

brought in. One of the cases was that of
Cant. Fedderle, of the Eighth Ohio, who
was very i'll, and was among number OF
the sick sent to the hospital across the
bay. where most of the yellow fever cases
were. He wanted to write letter to his
wife and children telling them that he
was just a little sick and he would oe
we'll soon. We did not think that ne
would live but when left he was better.
Il never allowed myself to think OF the
dangers of staying there, and besides
worked from daybreak until late at night
When 1 came home l intended to take a
short rest. but 1 felt SO like a fire horse
out of harness that 1 came here"
Miss Wheeler is disinclined to talk OF
what she has done. A soldier who was on
the Olivette, however, says that she toiled
day and night. and that there was not
man on the ship who Is not indebted to
the quiet little woman for many comforts
and acts of kindness.
One means by which Miss Wheeler
won the affection of the soldiers was the
declaration: II am here to help the pri-
Yates Everyone helps the officers. but

brave as anyone is too often forgotten"
Miss wheeler's sisters are expected to
join her In hospital this week.
