ANOTHER BOOST
 FOR HUGHES BOOM Substantial Men Propose To
 Aid the Movement TEST WILL SOON BE MADE At the Meeting of the Republican County Committee a Resolution
 indcssing Hushca Will
 Be for Adoption.
TEST WILL SOON BE MADE

Washington, December 30.-(Special.l- The issue among the republicans of New York promises to become a fight between those favorlng delegates instructed for Governor Hughes and an uninstructed delegation, with the national administra- tion lined up with the latter It is said that Seth Low, E. R. h. Gould and other substantial citizens will shortly put their shoulders to the Hughes boom and take if out of the indifferent category 1t now occupies.
 The first decisive test in the fight will come three weeks from Thursday night at the regular monthly meeting of the re- publican county committee. At the last meeting of the committee a Hughes in dorsement resolution was offered and was laid over for one month. Should the committee at it's next meeting pass that resolution the action would Tn erect amount to the instruction of the dele gates to the next national convention rom the congressional delegates of the county for the governor. and would pave the way for similar action by local organlza- tions up the state.
 The republican leaders who are making for an uninstructed delegation, say that they have no candidate for the nomina- tion for President At the same time they say Governor Hughes is not the only New Yorker of the calibre of which Presidents are made and nine times out or ten they mention the names of Secre- tary of State Elihu Root and Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou The anti-Hughes men keep on urging the point that his views on national ques- tions are unknown.
 This time four years ago democrats were making similar charges against the candidacy of Judge Alton 5. Parker, who managed to get the delegates Just the same
 Bascom Clemp, who will be sworn in next Monday as the new republican member of Congress from the Virginia "mountain district" says;
 "The hope of the republican party in Virginia lies In a safeguarding or the southern traditions and spirit and dem onstration to the people that southern republicans are as much southerners as democrats are. This feeling is gradually taking possession of the people and the last elections showed republican in- crease all through the state. l do not doubt that the President is in large measure responsible for this. as he has undoubtedly removed a great amount of unreasonable prejudice against republic anism The coming generations are go- ing to vote on economic questions and social ones not because of blind senti- ment. This will come about the quicker when the south learns that it's republicans cherish the south as fondly as anyone else does." w. s.

MINERS MEET
IN GOLDFIELD
Session Was Short and, So Far
as Known, Nothing
Was Done.
PEOPLE ARE OPTIMISTIC
EXPECT TROUBLE TO BE SET
TIED THIS WEEK.
Especial to The Herald.)

Goldheld. New, April 1s.-At the
meeting of the miners tonight. a meet
ing which lasted less than an hour aft
er converting, Acting President Ma
honey Of the Western Federation OF
Miners, stated in a few remarks that
ne had just received a telephone mess
age from George Wingfield asking him
TO state that any remarks which had
been attributed to Senator Nixon or
himself by the local press were untrue.
Mr.. Mahoney further stated that he
had every reason to believe that the
trouble would be settled by the coming
saturday, but vouchsafed no eason,
and then the meeting was dismissed.
The miners coming from the hall were
asked what had been accomplished,
and stated that nothing had been done.
Optimistic Feeling.
There have been no explanations
from either side. Although the reasons
for the generally optimistic feeling re-
garding the early settlement of the
trouble are rather vague the feeling
Is very apparent. Outside of the re-
marks of Mahoney, there was nothing
in tonights meeting which tended to
relieve the situation. but there are
those among the miners who believe
that the brevity of the meeting was,
IN itself. a good Indication, and that it
was short purposely to prevent another
job by the radical element and that
before the week is over plans for a
peaceful settlement will be perfected.
the conservative men here. however.
are none too sanguine over the result,
as they have been misled often during
the past month by hundreds of rumors
that constantly fill the air.
Mines Expected to Start Up.
But the most persistent rumor which
Will not down, and which has neither
been affirmed nor denied by the mine
owners. is that the mines in this dis
trict will be opened next week. 1t has
been stated that enough men have sig
nlned their Willingness to go to work
to reopen the properties, though there
Is positively nothing definite to war
rant this. 1t is desired by the mine
owners and everybody else in GOldfield
that this remain union camp, and
every possible influence will be brought
To bear TO bring this about. There is
not man in Goldfield who cannot ex-
plain just how to settle the trouble. but
those who really know are reticent and
the outcome is still uncertain.
One of the most hopeful signs of the
day was the posting of Old Glory on
Miners union hail. an unprecedented
performance.

The meeting was thrown into consid-

fered by Alexander Troup Of Connecti-

At this moment Senator Chandler in

to appear as his defender in this re-
SIect."
Mr.. Chandler explained that what the
president had denied was that contri-

strength of promises to do something.
Il accept the correction said Mr..
Troup, but AIR. Cortelyou knew differ
emily. Hhe should not have deceived
the president. The president claims he

ed the national committee only, but at
a suggestion that this would be a par
tisan movement, he changed it to take
in the Democratic committee.
Mr.. Troup wanted the resolution
adopted Immediately. but eventually
compromise was reached and the mat
ter was referred to the executive COM
mittee with the understanding that il
should make a report at some future
meeting of the association. The meet
ing then adjourned.
