NEW YORK, Angus: 1t.-Governor
Roosevelt has determined to take more
time for the consideration Of the testi-
! mony and the report made by Commits
sioner Wilcox before announcing his de-
| cis!on in regard TO District Attorney Car
| diner.
| He has also decided that the charges
brought against Mayor Van Wyck are
! serious enough to demand explanation.
| though he has not decided to appoint
! commissioner for the purpose of taking
j testimony in the case
It was generally understood that Gov
! ernor Roosevelt had practically determined
| what policy he would persue In dealing
| with District Attorney Gardiner before
| coming to the city yesterday. Many Re
| pl1blicans were greatly Disconnected at
! the Governors seeming reluctance TO re-
| move the District Attorney and they did
] not hesitate to let their discomfort be
( known. Senator Plat had given careful
consideration to the report MADE by Mr..
Wilcox, which acquitted the District AT
torney on some of the charges and left
the Governor to judge concerning his COM
potency and mental capacity. Chairman
Odefl, of the Republican State Central
Committee, had also made a study of the
report. Senator Platt and Mr.. Odell think
that District Attorney Gardiner should be

do so and that ample warrant for such
action is furnished by the report Of Mr..
WILCOX

What were regarded by politicians a s i'm
portant suggestions for Governor were
made yesterday, when movements were
started almost simultaneously for the nomi-
nation Of Insurance Superintendent Francis
Hendricks, OF Syracuse, and Attorney
General John c. Davies, of Oneida county.
Both ara organization Republicans, and
yet are of different types. Mr.. Hendricks,
while not an old man, belongs to the old
school, and is highly regarded by Senator
Plat and especially by the men who have
had long years Of service in the organiza-
ton. Mr.. Hendricks succeeded Louis F.
Payr in the Insurance Department, and he
was Collector of the Port of New York
under President Harrison. Senator Piatt
would be glad to support Mr.. Hendricks.
Acknowledgement Davies is spoken of as
candidate for the young men, but he is
really being groomed to be against
Controller Coler, should it become appar-
emit at the time the Republican Convention
is held that Mr.. Coler Will be the Demo-
cratic candidate.
