PAYNE THE FIRST CHOICE,
Ahead in the New York Republican
GuberuatoriaE Race.

NEW YORK. Aug. 10.-Every Repubii-
can politician from up the State who Wis
tied headquarters today or yesterday told
Chairman OdelI that the sentiment in fa-
vor of the nomination of Congressman
Serene Payne for Governor, was rapidly
growing. Speaker Nixon, Justice Wood
ward. Congressman Sherman. and others
who have been mentioned as active or pos
sible candidates. have already announced
that they are not in The race. 1t is un-
derstood that Justice Warner, of Roches-
ter, will not consent tc accept the nomina-
tion and that leaves Mr. Payne the eniy
man now seriously considered for the place
by The Republican leaders.
One Of the rumors about the Payne
movement was to the effect that Senator
Platt would prefer some other candidate
This Tunor had it that the Congressman
was not considered a good enough organi-
Zation man Some OF the friends of Payne
from up the State heard this rum0r ard they
went to see the Senator about il. They
found that Senator Piatt is not opposed TO
the nominat tion OF Mr.. Payne, but, on the
contrary, believes he would make a strong
candidate. Unless there is an unexpected
change in the situation during the next
three weeks the nomination of the Con-
sTessman seems to be assured.
