In commenting the political situation In New
York. the Berliner Tageblatt' says: THE nornIna-
uon OF Hearst the Democratic candidate for
Governor of the State of New York was the result
or scandalous combination between the yellow
millionaire and Tammany Hall. The result of the
deal is the disruption Of the Democratic party
The followers Of the leaders OF the Democratic
party who defeated the convention will
vote for Hughes. who has received the indorse-
ment Of Roosevelt. On the whole, the chances OF
Hearst are meagre. because the independent voters
are dtsgusted with his demagogio tendencies"
Which goes to show that they keep in touch pretty
well with American politics IN Berlin.
