In these words ex-senator Jacob Worth has
nounced that he Will stand for the nomination to
Congress from the With District. For some time
passive candidate. Mr.. Worth has for the
first time declared himself openly and entered the
lists. 1t viii In way be a fight against Michael
j. Dady, who chose Charles 7. DunweH for the
place and has repeatedly said that under no cir
cumstances could Mr.. Worth be chosen. What part
this open opposition played in determining the
Senator to yield to the opportunities Of his friends
may be seen from his remarks on the subject He
says
Il didn't think much OF being candidate at the
time ii was first spoken Of But the pressure has
been great among my friends in this district IN
general, and in view If some. of the expressions
of opinion given out by some OF my enemies felt

nation, and I expect to win
Mr.. Dady and some Of the DunweH managers
seemed TO be somewhat confused when they
learned Of the defiant attitude taken by Mr.. Worth.
Mr.. Dady seemed laboring to suppress himself
when he said
Il Mr. Worth is candidate. that is his privilege,
and [ have nothing TO say against It. Any man
has right to be a candidate
Quarantine Commissioner Frederick r. Schroeder
was less discreet. He declared that Senator Platt
wanted Dunwell nominated. "He has got to be
nominated and that is all there is to IT,, said Mr.
Schroeder, with considerable warmth. He con
unued by adding that John G. Deubert and Frank
Williams and others would have to support Dun
well whether they wanted to or not.
They will have to get in line and be for him."
said Mr.. Schroeder. There may be few election
districts that will drift away through friendship
for Worth but the leaders have got TO be for Dun
wells nomination. If Senator Platt says to me that
he is willing 10 let the people of that district de-
eide to suit themselves, then will pull DunweT out
or the race at once and we will pitch in to nomi-
nate Mr. Worth. But II is Dunwer, and he
is to be nominated unless Mr.. Platt says to let
him alone"
In spite of the positive assertions OF Mr schroe-
der Senator Platt when seen yesterday continued
his noh-committal policy, and to direct question
replied:
I cannot interfere In Kings County politics
The subject seemed to distress him. and TO further
questioning. he exclaimed:
Worth 0''" A'''''''S ON'
Now that Mr. Worth has come out openly as
candidate. he has broken long silence snd has
spoken freely on the ceming campaign. He be-
lieves that Mckinley and Roosevelt will carry the
State by 100 900 votes. He said yesterday:
The cry Of imperialism will have any effect.
The Germans are not easily excited. They are a
