NEW HAVEN, June l7.-Ale xander Troup.
former Democratic national committee
man from Connecticut and William ].
Bryan's most intimate friend in New Eng
land, to-day discussed whether BRYAN
wouldn't be more contented in private
life than as President of the United States.
After saving that he was greatly pleased
at the rush there seems to be to get into
line for the Nebraskan, Mr.. Troup said:
IF Bryan should be elected President Of
the United States. from that moment his
peace of mind would be disturbed and his
personal comfort interfered with. I can
picture the number Of ready made Cabinet
members that would be on tap for him to
dra W from; Ambassadors. Ministers, Consul
Generals, postmasters, collectors, too numer-
GUS to mention. There would be at least
one hundred patriotic followers ready to
do service and waiting for every place the
President had at his disposal,
The Civil Service law would not damien
the .ardor Of the invading hosts. AS only
one could draw the prize there would be
ninety-nine blanks. just picture to YOUR
self the nlncty-nine patriots holding tho
blanks. The large percentage of thrm
would open the ~iloodgates of wrath aeains;
the Executive. Almost every mother :
son of them who had beer disappointed
would figure Il out that except for what he
had done in the canvass Mr.. BRYAN would
never have been President.
i am only asking, after all, in cold blood.
ia 1t worth it"' OF course. Mr.. BRYAN will
answer In his own way at the proper time"

early yesterday morning at Flushing and
Knickerbocker avenues by julius Mayer, a
right Waterman who lives at is Vandervoort

annoyed Saturday night by crowds of boys
who threw stones at him.. 1t was alleged

fered severely from conclusion Of the brain.
The boys ran away, and at midnight Mayer
was stoned again.
He drew a revolver and shot at a crowd
which had annoyed him. 1t was alleged
that Schumacher was In the party. He
was shot In the neck on the right side and
fell with a cry. 1t caused his companions

MIR. Smith Says That Cuts No Figure in His
Contest With Woodward.

Contest With Woodward.
William H. Smith, who is running against
Collin H. Woodward for the Republican
leadership of the T~wenty-third district,
gave out yesterday a letter which he had
addressed to Mr.. Woodward in reply to
the letter sent by the latter to him and
which was printed in The Sun. In this
letter Mr.. Woodward took pains to declare
that he was against Quigg and Odell and
for Mr.. Parsons.
Mr.. Smith says that as a matter of fact
he thinks that he was the first man to come
out for Mr.. Parsons in his district when the
latter announced his candidacy for the
county committee craftsmanship and that
any impression that he is against Parsons
is unwarranted. In reply TO Mr.. Wood
wards letter he says:
Il was pleased 10 receive your favor of
June 10, embodying your platform, but re-
greet that you should limit yourself to SUP
port of and opposition TO persons. Let
us not annoy the electorate by trying TO
raise an issue between us on questions
upon which II Is notorious we both agree"
Mr.. Smith has sent out a letter to the
enrolled Republicans Of the district in
which he says that principles and not per-
sonal considerations should control the
party management and that he is in favor
of the county committee being representa-
tive Of the collective Judgment Of the en-
rolled Republicans of the county and not
dominated by any one mar or one interest"
If elected, he says, he will be glad to re-
oeive the counsel Of all Republicans in his
district, but ar executive member should
not submit to dictation from any one. in or
o ut OF the district.

The police of the West Fort,-seventh

three times, suspected that he would lie
in their precinct. as his aunt lives there,
and he visits here whenever he runs out Of
pocket money and gets financed. He was
found or a lumber pile at the foot Of Forty
sixth street last night by Policeman Dale.
He took his arrest with the nonchalance Of
a veteran roECr. He was not locked up
in a cell pending the arrival of a Gerry
society agent. but was permitted to lounge
around the station. He has a good voice,
knows most OF the popular songs and he
