NO CHANGE IN SITUATION.
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR
MAY DEPEND UPON THE DE-
CIsION AS TO COLER.

Senator Platt said at the Oriental Hotel at
Manhattan Beach, last night. that there was
no change III the situation regarding the Repuo-
lican nomination for Governor. No Information
had been received by the Senator since Friday
pointing to the development OF a boom for any
new candidate for the honor. L'eutenant-Gov-
ernor Timothy L. woodruff and Congressman
Serene E. Payne still the most prominent
of the Republicans talked of for the nomination.
not counting B. B. odell. jr. who has served
notice on the organization leaders that he would
not take the nomination il IL were offered TO
him by the State Convention.
The opinion held and expressed by Senator
Platt that the State convention should nominate
for Governor man who has been active
worker for the organization has been expressed
by many of the organization leaders, but 1t Is
apparent from the talk among the leaders that
the Republican plan OF campaign for the cleo
ton Of a Governor is waiting upon the result
of the quarrel among the Democratic leaders
as to the advisabIIity OF nominating Controller
Bird s. Coler for Governor. II it becomes plain
that Mr. Coler is to be nominated by the Demo-
Gratis the Republican leaders probably will de-
eide to nominate either so-called independent
Republican a man who can count upon re-
ceiving the support Of independent Republicans.
The fact that ex-Mayor Strong recently came
out openly in support Of Serene z. Payne. when
the nomination of Mr.. Odell was being talked
of as almost a certainty by many Republican
leaders. has been taken by the machine poll
ticians as an indication that Mr.. Payne could
get large independent support as candidate.
Senator Platt has indicated that the Republi-
can organization would not take kindly to the
nomination OF ex-Judge Andrews. who has been
suggested by Governor Roosevelt as a suitable
candidate to attract the independent vote, and
MI. odell yesterday said enough to snow tnat
the mention of Mr.. Andrews's name would not
evoke much enthusiasm by the machine. MI
Andrews is not strictly an organization man,
MIR OdeIl said although he was nominated by
the Republican party for the Court OF Appeals
some years ago. Members Of the judiciary when
elected to high Offices usually try TO carry with
them a non-partisan spirit"
Mr. Odell said he did not think the nonina-
ton of William Cary Sanger was being consld-
cred seriously. Colonel Sanger is now in
Europe" he added and nobody can tell II ne
wants the nomination for Governor He prices
himself more on his independence than on his
af1liation with the party. organization

PROBLEM NIGHT IN ENGLISH JOURNALISM
From The London Chronicle.

Yesterdays news set a curious and interesting
problem in Journalism BY Of those comet
dences which not unusual, three news Items OF
the first Importance arrived the same day
namely, King Humbert's assassina ton, Prinsloo's
surrender and Sir Claude Macdonalds message.
These three topics arrived in the order named, and
the problem was in what order they would be
treated by the different morning papers contents
bills the first two having been discounted to a
certain extent by having been published in the
evening papers.
In spite OF that fact. however. our readers will
have observed THE Daily Chronicle" decided that
tho King Of Italy's murder retained the pride of
place; then followed two lines devoted the Boer
collapse and three to the Picking legations. THE
Morning Post" bill was practically Identical with
ours. with the exception that only two lines, in
stead Of three. given to China. The Times
also placed King Humbert first, followed by "Ci-
pher message from Sir Claude Macdonald and
Prinsloos surrender. The Daily Graphic" and
The Daily News" were practically Identical with
The Times the latter giving Picking cessation
Of hostlities" as its second subject. The Daily
Telegraph" on the other hand, gave Sir Claude
Macdonald the pride of place, followed by King
Humbert and Prinsloo The two halfpenny papers
The Daily Mail' and The Daily Express" appar-
entity adopted the curious plan of devotng three
complete bills respectively to China, South Africa
and Italy.

Chicago Aug. 11.-w J. Bryan's visit to Chicago
has practically resulted in understanding that
he will travel almost much during the present
campaign as he did in 1896. The first inclination

speeches this year. but there has been such gen
eral pressure that 1t is understood that he is now
inclined to yield, and to visit many parts OF the
country. No positive promises for participation IN
the campaign have been made for other states
than Naw-York but the probabilities are that he
will go from that State TO Maryland where there
