WALL ST. SOUNDS ALARM

Washington, jsn. 4. - All the forces
Of corporate and political influence will
be brought into acetion to defeat the
radical reforms recommended by Cover
nor Hughes in his message TO the New
York legislature, and national leaders Of
both parties here predicted yesterday
that Albany win be the fighting field
where the battle of the trusts to knock
out the proposed reforms will become a
national issue and where the present po-
litical parties may undergo realign-
ment.
President Roosevelt is behind Cover
nor Hughes in his fight for the proposed
reforms, and though the president will
not be opeRly active in aiding Hughes,
he will make ii known that he strongly
favors the communications.
President Roosevelt feels that vic
tory Of the trusts at Albany speels de.
feat for reforms in other states, and with
his inner knowledge Of New York state
conditions obtained while governor, he
will be in position to advise and aid
Governor Hughes in his fight
Washington is being flooded with tele.
grams from Wall street calling upon
certain congressional leaders TO use all
their influence in Albany to defeat the
proposed measures.
The lobby at the capital will doubt

when the fight passes the skirmish
stage.
Dispatches from Albany Yesterday in
dictate that the old time political lead
ers in the Senate and Assembly are in.
sullen anger and preparing to make the
fight to save their political futures. The
railroad and public utilities interests are
already in tho saddle, booted and spurred
for the battle. The abolition Of the
state board Of railroad commissioners
would mean body blow at the rail,
roads, which would be followed by like
attacks in other states.
