Evidently they think that if a candidate Is 10 De
drafted from the bench in this hour OF olre heeo
OF the Democratic party, Judge Herrlch iiilsh'
well be asked TO make this sacrlnce Tor MS
party. He has only three years more 70 serve N
the Supreme Court and, moreover. It IS known
that for several years he has had thousht OF
resigning and returning to MS Ia" pFdctice'
When he accepted nomination TOT me ou-
preme bench he was not in good healtT' +>oN'
with health restored. he could return 70 MS pla'
tlce. Judge Herrick's friends thefeloie' eNi
IDENTIFY feel that possibly he could be persuaded
10 run for Governor.
Ex-senator Hill and Judge Hefrlch are adlu
not to be as far apart as is sometimes creolteo'
and therefore If NAV be that Judge Herrick
will be prominent candidate at the Demo
cratic convention In recent years ne mas
served in Kings County occasionally. and always
has been on good terms with Hugh McLaush-
lin and other leading Kings County democrats.
Thus it may be that he will have the support
of the Kings County Democrats. AS leauel IL

ton from the Cleveland Democrats
PREPARING GOLFERS BOOM
Ex-Controller Colers friends intend at the
county convention of the Orleans County Delho-
Gratis which will be held at Albion on Septen-
Der II. to place him before the state as the man
to head the Democratic ticket 4 delegation
will be elected pledged to support him 1t VIII
be remembered that Mr.. Coler and David Is. hiIi
recently appeared in company at the talr OF 'ne
Orleans County Agricultural Society at oah
Orchard. MIR. Coler is president OF the 1heollla
Sandstone Company of Albany. when mas
capital of 50 100000 and owns range of quar-
ries near Albion. This is the explanation given
Of the acquaintance of the Orleans county
Democrats with Mr.. Coler.
Within the last few days conventions to elect
delegates 20 the Democratic State Convention
have disclosed several candidates for the minor
positions on the Democratic State ticket mus
the Wayne County Democrats expressed the
conviction that D. j Van Auken. of Geneva
treasurer OF Hobart College, should receive tle
nomination for State Treasurer. 1t is said that
Mr.. Van Auken is a passive candidate and may
not become an active one Ihen the "a Sdt-
tarauSus County Democrats have pledged thelr
delegates to support Frank II. Mott, of James
town, for Secretary of State. Democrats are
rather scarce in the southwestern part OF the
State, ana 1t is also a prosperous region. Mr.
Motifs nomination, therefore, is thought un-
likely.
WANTS TO BE NAMED FOR CONTROLLER.
Perhaps the most serious recommendation yet
made by a county convention is that OF the
Warren County Democrats, who asserted that
George r. Finch. of Glens Falls. wealthy
IumberInan, should be nominated for Controller.
Warren County is also a Republican County.
but Mr. Finch is believed by the Democratic
leaders to be a strong Ex-Controller
Joseph Gavin of Buffalo, however it Is re-
ported. was here recently, and possibly saw Mr.
would like to be the candidate for controller
and as the Erie County Democrats have No
candidate for any other place. unless Judge
Gray declines a denomination for Judge OF tne
Court of Appeals when John Cunneen, a Ieai-
ing lawyer of Buffalo, would become cahul-
date for that position, Mr.. Gavin has a Sood
chance TO be named.
The Democrats OF the LIST Assembly District
OF Oneida County have expressed a preference
for the nomination of eX-Mayor Richard w
Sherman OF Utica for State Engineer Mr.
Sherman Is an engineer and brother of James
S Sherman. the Republican Congressman from
The Oneida a-Herkimer district. There IS said &c
he a movement in Tompkins County to elect
delegates favorable 10 Congressman SulZer ol
