DRYDEN STILL SOLE CANDIDATE.
He Meets the Members-Elect Of the Next
Legislature In Trenton.

TRENTON, N. j., Nov. Is.-When United
States Senator John F. Dryden left the
State House late this afternoon, after a day
spent in receiving the members-elect OF the
next Legislature, he had the satisfaction Of
knowing that he remained the single avowad
candidate in New Jersey for the position he
now holds. He had also the assurances Of
his friends that had a Republican caucus
been held to-day he would nave received
a majority Of the vote Of the party which
is to elect his successor.
10 Offset this encouraging information.
Mr.. Dryden also learned through his friends
who circulated about the corridors that
there was a strong undercurrent Of senti-
ment ~favoring the selection of some one
other than himself. In the absence of any
other avowed candidate. however. the ex-
pressions Of discomfort at the Dryden slate
lacked form. and the first gathering
OF the legislators since election was gener-
ally looked upon as a preliminary round in
favor of Mr.. Dryden.
The most serious blow to his hopes came
late in the day, when as a result of the
canvasses made during the afternoon
Senate Everett Colby, who had been lead
ing the opposition movement. received
bers would refuse to ratify any caucus
action indorsing Mr.. Dryden. However. IL
was pretty definitely stated that these
reports we're not to be entirely relied upon
hut that probably four members would
decline to be bound by a caucus favoring
Mr.. DRYDEN.
There will be forty-four Republicans
in the Legislature. with forty-one nece .sarv
20 a choice on joint ballot, so that il four
members refuse to vote with the majority
It would result in a deadlock and il is this
possibility which seems to most seriously
threaten Mr.. Dryden. With a deadlock
once established by a refusal 10 be bound
by the aucus the fight would be resolved
into a question OF Dryden against the field,
and this Is exactly what indications point to.
Senator Colby and Assemblymen Martin
and Heinz OF Essex were in a conference
with the Governor which lasted till a late
hour. As a result IL was announced to-
night that an extra session Of the Legisla-
ture would probably be called about Decem-
Der 1 TO consider the proposition of a trunk
sewer TO prevent the pollution of the
Passaic River.

WOMEN RIDING ASTRIDE.
Predicted That the Custom W soon BE
the Rule In England.

Special Cable Desp lteh 10 The SUN.
LONDON. Nov. l3.-The custom of fashion,
able women riding horseback astride is
40 growing in England that it can be pre-
dicted that it will be the rule instead OF
the exception in a very few years, and
that it will attract no more remark than
the custom of women bicycling. The prac-
tice is already often followed by society
women in Rotten Row, lLs fashionable
riding place in Hyde Park.
Among the prominent women' who ride
in this fashion are V~iscountess Castlereagh,
the Duchess Of Westminster and the young
daughter Of the Duchess OF Sutherland.
Their riding habits are 40 contrived as
to present the neatest appearance. Seen
from some points of view 1t can hardly be
realized that they are not using a side
saddle.
The chief opposition to the custom comes
from the teachers of horsemanship, who
find the new style much easier taught.
The course of lessons is much curtailed;
indeed, girls learn to ride astride as quickly
as their brothers.

CUBA FAVORS IMMIGRATION.
Shouid BE Encouraged, the Economic
Bodies Tell GOV. MakOon.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
HAVANA, Nov. 1S.-In view Of the appro-
priation Of 81 100000 made by the Cuban
Congress to encourage immigration Gov.
Magoon asked the economic bodies to ex-
press their views on this and kindred ques-
tions. A report was handed to Mr.. Magoon
to-day favoring the encouragement of i'm
migration and the spending OF $500, 900 on
laborers and $500 600 on their families.
The report also favors a reduction of the
customs tariff in order to lower the ex-
~cessive cost Of living. 1t urges the Cover
nor to employ the many at his
command to make the local authorities
and police endeavor to reestablish among
the people those industrious habits which
have been 30 deeply affected by the revolu-
ton.
The committee representing the economic
corporations pointed out to Mr.. Magoon
that Spain, the source Of Cuba's immigrants,
was being tapped by the United States and
the South American republics, which are
stimulating m exodus to Panama, Argen-
tina and else where. Cuba, which needs
immigrants from Spain and the Canary
Islands, should do the same in self-defence,
especially az laborers are needed to harvest
the sugar crop.
There is much cattle stealing in Cam
aguey, the owners being foreigners. One
owner says that his cattle are stolen when
on his own land. but when he sends them
to pasture on land owned 10y Cubans they are
not touched. 1t is estimated that 1000 head
were stolen last year. The stealing was
largely stopped by the rural guards, but
it a broken out again since the revolution.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-Fashion having ruled

GERMAN COMPANIES PAY HALF
Three VIII Settle San Francisco Insuranc,
Losses on 30 Per Cent. Basis.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.
BERLIN, Nov. I3.-As City Attorney New
burg OF San Francisco tells a SUN reporter,
three German insurance companies doing
business in Hamburg have agreed to COM
promise with their San Francisco policy
holders. 1t is expected that the result
will be a paymant OF about 50 per cent.
of their liabilities. Mr.. Newburg is con-
WINGED that it is useless to hope for better
terms, that being the limit OF tho COM
panies' capacity. In order to pay even
this they will be obliged to make a heavy
sacrifice OF real estate. Moreover, the Ger
man companies are severely Handicapped
by the taxes on their reserved
capital, amounting to 10 per cent. against
from to ~ in England.
A definite announcement Of the amount
that can be. paid will be impossible in less
than a month, owing to the necessity Of
worldwide inquiries. The Hamburg Bremen
Insurance Company, which is connected with
the Hamburg American Steamship Conn.,
pany, is receiving every day hundreds of
complaints and threats of suits, all calling
for the full pound Of flesh.

wrong. Hearst Strengthened.
Benjamin B. Odell was in town yester-
day and talked for nearly an hour at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel to the reporters. Asked
what he thought OF the result OF the cleo
ton. Mr.. Odell said;
Il think it is a defeat for the Republican
party. There is no doubt that Mr.. Hughes
was elected by Democratic votes, and
there is no doubt also that the entire Re
publican ticket could have been elected
II a proper effort had been made. But
there was no proper canvass and no proper
campaign. We didn't see anything OF a
campaign in my county, and l am told
that the same conditions prevailed in other
counties. I was not asked to help, in fact
in my county we didn't know that there
was "a State committee, and from all l have
learned the committee didn't know where
IL was at most of the time. What work
was lone was lone by Mr.. Hughes him
self. He did all the campaigning. the
COMMITTEES did practically none, and the
whole management of the campaign was
most asinine.
Il don't want to do any knocking, but
if this asinine policy is continued it will
ave the Republican party in the same
bad shape the election has left it in. l
am told that to carry out the deals which
have been made with George W. Aldridge
and Francis Hendricks two of the most
important places in the gift OF the Gov
ernor are to go TO their henchmep. l
am informed that Winslow NJ. Meade,
Aldridge's man, is to be made Superin-
tendent OF Public Works, to succeed Mr..
F~ranchot, and hat Ray B. Smith OF SYRIA
cuse Is to displace Archie Baxter as clerk
of the Assembly. Appointments of his
kind will not tend to reunit the party in
this State and to put il in shape to make
a strong campaign in 1908.
The interference OF the President was
unfortunate, and the result Of 10 was the
result which always follows Presidential
interference, hat, il, disaster.
Il think that the outcome of the election
has strengthened Hearst. l do not mean
that it has made him a greater Presidential
possibility, but he is stronger than ever
he was in his party. He mad a remarkable
campaign. Almost every paper in the
State, except his own, opposed him, and
the great run he made under those con-
ditions shows that he is a man OF unusual
political force. l don't think he will be a
candidate for the Presidential nomination
in 1908, because I think he will work with
Bryan and will help Bryan to capture the
nomination and then help to elect him .
In that way Hearst will continue to be a
great force in the Democratic party

Meeting VIII ne Called for Thursday.

Nov. 77-NO HarmonIzing.
Mayor Mark NJ. Pagan of Jersey City
and his advisers in the New Idea move
ment decided yesterday to call a meeting
at Elks' Hall, Henderson and York streets,
on Thursday evening, November %, at
which An independent organization will
be formed along the lines recently sug-
gested by Mayor Pagan, to be known az
the Central Republican Committee of Hud-
son County.
Tomorrow night a preliminary meeting
of Republicans prominently identified with
the movement IN all parts OF the county
will be held at the rooms of the Bergen
Republican Club. II ia expected that
plans for the new county committee will
be discussed, and perhaps a rough draft
of a constitution to govern the new or
ganisation will be made. One of the novel
features of the constitution, il is said, will
be a clause SO cunningly drawn as to make
it impossible for any one man to become
a boss or exercise the functions of one.
Great interest il being manifested by the
New Idea men in Hudson county in the
formation Of this rival body to the Repub-
lican county committee. which is controlled
by Col. Samuel d. Dickinson, the county
leader, and there promises TO be a big turn
out at Elks' Hall,
Rumors are current in Jersey City that
several men in the ~counsels Of Col. Dickin-
son are in favor Of making overtures to
the New Idea leaders with a view TO party
harmony. They feel, it il said. that if a
Republican Governor is to be elected next
fall it will be necessary for the regulars
and refOrmers TO get together. They
nave rome so far AZ to suggest a plan Of
harmony whereby the differences could be
Strengthened out and unity restored by the
retirement OF Col. Dickinson az leader
and by the elimination of Corporation
Counsel George l.. Record from active
participation in the Republican politics OF
the county.
Several prominent New Idea men who
were seen yesterday afternoon declared
that no offers on the part Of the machine
leaders 20 enter into any kind OF harmony
agreement will be considered.
