SARATOGA, Sept. 3S.-Gov. Higgins will
reach Albany at 7 O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing. Until he arrives there Il will not be
known who Is to be the Republican nominee
for Governor. The Governor left Clean
shortly before Q o'clock this afternoon
for Albany. State Superintendent OF Pub
lie Works N. V. V. F~ranchOt, who lives in
Clean and who has charge Of Gov. Higgins's
interests In Saratoga, talked with Gov.
Higgins over the long distance telephone
Just before the Governor left Clean. After
ward Mr.. Franchot said that the Governor
still adhered to his original intention, ex-
pressed before he left Albany Friday after
| noon, that he would announce his decision
in Albany Monday morning. The Gov
ernor's secretary, Frank E. Perley, re-
turned to Albany tonight to meet the
Governor.
Pending Gov. Higgins's decision political
affairs at Saratoga are drifting. A study
Of the movements Of Mr.. Hendricks, Mr..
Aldridge, Mr.. Barnes, Mr.. F~ranchot, Mr..
O'Brien and other members Of the Higgins
kitchen cabinet here to-day, indicated that
IL Gov. Higgins decides not to run they
have a slate ready. This slate differs some
what from the one which will 60 through
the convention should Gov Higgins continue
in public life. The only name for Governor
which ana from the inner circles Of
| the Higgins advisers as to the head Of their
slate is that Of NJ. Linn Bruce, in case Mr..
Higgins persists in retiring.
Gov. Higgins has the pledges of the local
Republican leaders throughout the State
who have sided with him in his fight against
the Odell- Platt-Quigg combination that
they will support his programme should he
retire, and in turn President Roosevelt
stands pack OF Gov. Higgins and his friends.
20 that II the Governor and his friends;
want to nominate Mr.. Bruce they can do So,
despite the fact that eminent Republicans
In and out OF the Governors kitchen cabinet
believe that the nominee for Governor
should be a man who has achieved some
success in private life. hen again there
are some who do not believe that Mr.. Bruce
represents the type Of a mar that President
Roosevelt would pick as a candidate for
Governor in this political emergency.
1t seemed tonight that Bruce practically
had been dropped from consider alton by
Higgins's friends. Herbert Parsons, presi-
dent Of the New York county Republican
committee, made il plain that he did not

many in his delegation were absolutely
opposed to Bruce. Naturally Mr.. Parsons
inclines toward the type Of a candidate
Mr.. Hughes represents, and from the fact
OF his recent visit to President Roosevelt
his views heIe rave great weight.
At this turn Of affairs there was renewed
Woodruff talk as the candidate of1the local
Republican chieftains throughout the State

ideas Of political activity who they seem
to think could make a better contest against
a nominee Of the Hughes type than could
Mr.. Bruce. This change was followed by
much ak among the New York delegates
in favor Of Parsons.
The Parsons boom was received with more
favor than has been accorded any other.
and the opinion was general among the
delegates, aside from the members Of the
kitchen cabinet, who pursued their usual
r~eticenoe, that Parsons's nomination would
be an ideal one in the present situation.
After the Syracuse delegates arrived
this morning the name Of a new candidate
for Governor was suggested, that OF
Supreme Court Justice Frank Harris His
cock OF Syracuse. Mr.. Hiscock is one Of
the additional members of the Court of
Appeals by the appointment Of Gov. Hig-
gins. Lawyers agree that he has made
an excellent Judge and it has been planned
to keep him on the Court of Appeals bench
by election when a vacancy occurs. Judge
Hiscock has been a power in Onondaga
county politics and really has been the
silent adviser OF Francis Hendricks for
years.
p. W. Cullinan OF Oswego, who recently
retired as State Excise Commissioner, to-
day, when the name Of Judge Hiscock
was uncovered as a likely candidate for
Governor, said Judge Hiscock would make
an ideal candidate in the present situation
should Gov. Higgins insist on retiring.
Judge Hiscock,' said Mr.. Cullinan, was
in Cornell University when l was and he
was graduated with high honors. He be-
gan the practice OF law in Syracuse with
his uncle, Frank Hisoock, and soon became
the leader of the bar in central New York.
Judge Hiscock ia a leader OF public thought
In that part Of the State and his candidacy
would command the confidence of conser-
vative and independent citizens who have
high Ideals Of public life as ~exemplified by
Roosevelt, while at the same time he is
of that broad gauge nature that he would
not ALLEVIATE the support of the practical
politicians
Hendricks Holden, one Of the big bust
ness men OF Syracuse, said he had just left
Judge Fl iscock at Loon Lake, where he
was playing golf, and that in his opinion
Judge Hiscock would decline to be con-
sidered as a candidate, az he peferred a
judicial to a political career. Francis
Hendricks told the Onondaga delegates
that Judge Hlscock would make an ex-
oellent candidate, but that he didn't want
il. Yet they continued to talk Hiscock
just the same as they circulated among
the delegates.
Senator Edgar Truman Brackets friend
opened his Gubernatorial ~hea1quarter 8
tonight in one Of the United States Hote
cottages. Saratoga literally is plastered
with Bracket Autographs and his is the only
button that has made an appearance. Sena
tor Bracket said that he was taking thu
situation ph~ilosophically, satisfied that
before election day the party would need
a man of his type for Governor more than
he needed the nomination.
