Albany, N. Y, Jan. 1.-The test of
strength in the caucus of Republican as
seTnblymen tomorrow night will probably
be taken. not directly in a vote upon
the candidates for the nomination for
speaker of the assembly, but upon the
question whether the vote on the

in the contest are now concentrated upon
that single point. It's Importance is evil

Means wadsworth's Defeat.

Leaders of the movement for the nomi-
nation of James w. WadswOrth, jr., of
Livingstone. who was selected by Gov
ernor Higgins as his choice, admit that
if they cannot prevent a secret ballot
they cannot secure Mr.. Wadsworth' S
nomination by the caucus On the other
hand the adherents of Edwin A. Merritt,
vious tactics of claiming that they could
defeat Wadsworth even if they could
not elect Merritt, and began to assert
that they were certain of votes enough
to secure a secret ballot.
At last accounts tonight the best in
formed observers on both sides agreed
that in an open ballot roll call of Re
publican assemblymen in the existing
condition of affairs, Mr.. Wadsworth
would be elected Both sides agreed also
that upon a secret ballot the result would
be very different.

Diplomatic Corps.

As soon as the president had gathered
about him his official family the doors
of tbs red room were again swung open
and then, in clear voice, Colonel Brown

Russian ambassador, was missing and

succeeded to the deanship the place of
honor at the head Of the corps was to-
day held by Mr.. Hengelmuller, who was
in full uniform and wore the many dec
orations conferred upon him during his
diplomatic career. After the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador and Nine. Hen
gelmuller had bowed before the presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt and shook their
hands, Mr.. Hengelmuller stepped back
a pace. He then presented. as did the
other ambassadors, the members of their
staffs to the president

This was the third New Years recep-

Viewed With Alarm.

That Mr. Wadsworth's supporters view
the proposition of a secret ballot with
solicitude is evident from a statement
dent of Pubic works K V Y Fran
chot, one Of Governor Higgins closest
advisers. Mr.. Franchot said:
There is no change in the situation.
A desperate effort had been made by
the friends of Mr. Odell including J.
Calvin Mcknight, recently MIR. Harri-
mans private secretary, to commit the
aSsemblymen to a secret ballot The
friends of Mr.. Wadsworth are able 10
put but one construction upon this state
ment, and that is, the desire on the part
of those opposed to him to use money
for the purpose OF encompassing his de-
feat.
Even with the use of money they
do not believe this can be accomplished.
The supporters of Mr.. WadsWOrth, rep
tesenting the vast majority of the Re
puhlicans of the state. cannot be influ-
enceG by anv such means"

This statement of Mr.. Franchot soon
became known about the Ten Eyck cor
ridors and produced a profound sensa-
ton. Neither MIR. Odell nor Mr.. Nc
Knight would reply to or comment upon
ii, but Senator Aalby said:
L should say in reply to the state
ment of AIr. Franchot that it is the pol
icy of this state in the interest of hon
esty to have a secret ballot. Inasmuch
as the executive, his superintendent of
public works Mr. Franchot. and other
members of his administration, have
sandbagged every assemblyman from
Montauk Point to Niagara Falls to Sc
cure his vote for Mr.. Wadsworth, JUS

these men should for once have an Op-
pOrtunity to vote as they want to.

comes with i'll grace from a candidate
who is himself several times million

State Chairman Odel had little to say
tonight except that in his opinion Mr..
Merritt was steadily gaining IN strength
and would secure the nomination
Mr.. Wadsworth himself reiterated his
statement that he had personal pledges
enough to elect him.

TO SETTLE OLD DISPUTE
ATTORNEY GENERALS WILL TRY
TO SETTLE THE BOUNDARY
MIDDLE.

Negotiations will be opened in the
near future tending toward settle
ment of the long time boundary dis
pute between the states of Wash
ington and Oregon. There are sew
eral things in this connection that
have never been entirely cleared up.
and the authorities Of both states are
vcery anxious to wipe the old sques-
ton of the slate and start out new.
With that idea in view, Attorney
General Crawford of Oregon and AS
sistant Attorney General Macdonald
of Spokane, will leave for the
national capital before January 10
to file their stpulations as to the time
for taking the testimony in the
boundary suit in question. Mr.
Macdonald passed through Seattle
last might from Olympia en- route to
Spokane to get various private bust
ness matters cleared up prior to his
departure for the east.
While Messrs Crawford and Mac
Donald are in Washington, D. c..
they will ask the supreme court for
the appointment of a commissioner to
take the testimony that must be Sc
cured before the boundary dispute
can be settled. Just who they will
recommend for this position is a mat
ter of conjecture. 1t is understood thai
there are several we'll known attorneys
in both states who are anxious 10 Sc
cure the position, although neither
Crawford nor Mcdonald will give the
