The Lost Creker.-Telegraphic advices
from New York, as well as cable adYices
from Europe, indicate that the Hon. Rich
ard Croker is lost somewhere in the wilds
of England. The Hon. R. B. Roosevelt
took ship at New York foI Europe soon
after Admiral Dewey announced his will
ingness to become a candidate for Presi-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt declaI ed that the sole
purpose of his visit to Europe was to find
Croker and see what the Tammany chief
tain thought of Dewey's candidacy. Sew
eral weeks ago Croker had the misfortune
to bI eak a leg just as he was getting ready
TO return to America, and at last accounts
the fractured femur had not mended. Of
course, he cannot De expected to come

r T. Roosevelt may be of assistance to

him. Or IL may be that the doughty old
Tiger took to the bushes when he learned
that Roosevelt was looking for him, and
that he will not emerge until Roosevelt
takes ship for New York. Mr. Croker

Another Haunn Rumor-Tbe

Another Hanna Rumor-The old
story that the Hon. Mark Hanna will re-
fuse to again accept the Craftsmanship Of
the Republican National Committee has
been revived and is being spread broad
cast over The country. 1t has been fully
two weeks since this yarn was started on
its rounds. but il seems 20 be exciting
quite much interest everywhere as IL
il were brand-new. The plain fact appears
to be that Mr. Hanna's physicians have
advised him to disconnect himself from
the active management o. the Republican
party, but that both be and Mr.. Mckinley
are convinced that the party demands the
sacrifice involved in Mr. Hanna S disre-
gard of his physicians advice. Nobody
else has yet developed the qualities be-
lieved TO be essential to the management
Of the forthcoming campaign for Mr. Nc
Kinley. and until such a person appears
the machinery Of the organization will be
continued in the control OF Mr.. Hanna. Il
is possible that the exigencies OF the cam
paign may demand a nominal change al
the head OF the National Committee. and
in that event it is believed the Hon. Perry
S. Heath, who could be depended upon to
carry out Mr.. Hannas ideas in detail, will
bs elected chairman OF the committee,
though there is some talk of Col Henry
c. Payne of Wisconsin, being elevated to
that position.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Coier for GovernOr--It appears that
the Democratic organization in New York
is preparing to make the Hon. Bird Coler
the party candidate for Governor this year.
There is no doubt of this young gentle
mans popularity with the masses, but
there is considerable doubt of lis ability
TO pull the party through in such a year
as this. Mr.. Golfer is entitled TO a large
part Of tie credit for scotehine the Rama
20 snake. but that very fac makes him
persona non grata to the forces which
really control elections in New York 1t
is known that the Crokers, Whitneys, and
other Democratic leaders of this stripe
are quite as much interested In he sac
cess of the Ramspo water scheme as s:e
the Platts, Traceys, and that Tx OF states
men in the Republican party. Indeed. in
enterprises of this kind the promoters
usually are able to rise above politics
and stand together in a common cause
like brothers Hence, il Mr. Coler s
made the Democratic nominee he wi have
10 pledge himself-secretly, OF course-to
be blind when Ramapo legislation is
brought up at Albany or go into the fight
in the full expectation OF being defeated.
At the same time. he is very close 10 the
great Hugh Mclaughlin. Brooklyn's Dem
ocratic boss, and II Mclaughlin is still OPP
posed TO the Ramapo seheme-which means
il he stil1 has interest In that project
1t is considered barely possible that
Mclaughlin could pull him through. Tie
chances, however. are 50 heavily against
the success OF any candidate of Comp
troller Coler's record in New York State
politics that IL is more than possible the
Democratic managers will conclude to put
up somebody else for GOSernor That IS
TO say. If they really care TO reclaim tie
State this year they will head their ticket
with some name that viii be acceptable TO
the men OF both parties who control she
great corporations and the money of New
York II is a foresone conclusion that the
head Of the national ticket will rot be ae-
ceptable TO this element of men in either
party; so why should the Democrat. man
ayers. il really DESTROYS OF carrying New
York In November, handicap themselves
with candidate like Coler? All the or
eumstanees considered, II seems likely
that Mr.. Hill has launched the Coler gu
bernatorial boom al this time more for
the benefit OF himself than for Golfer Mr.
Hill is too old bird not TO understand
the virtual impossibility OF eleeting any
body like Coler 10 the Goyernorship of
New York.

Who Will Succeed Roosevelt Now
odore Roosevelt is going TO be forced on the
ticket with Mr.. Mckinley. the next ques-
ton OF the greatest interest in Kew York
is as TO who will be nominated for Gov
ernor by the Republicans. II is generally
assumed that the Plat machine will con-
troll the nomination outright. in which case
the consensus Of opinion IS that State
Chairman B. B. 0dell will be nominated
for Governor. A few weeks ago there was
excellent reason to believe that the Piatt
programme was TO shunt Roosevelt OF on
to the Vice Presidential track in order that
the Hon. Timothy l. Woodruff might be
elevated 20 the Governorship Many we'll

YoOdruf's friends the machine seems to

late. II is pointed out that Odell has twice
