New York. Oct lS-In notable speech
at a dinner Of the Republican Club this
evening. Gov. Hughes outlined, by i'm
plication, at least, his attitude toward the
nomination for President. characterized
the aims Of his administration. and de-
fined his views regarding the control
which the State should exercise over the
activities of corporations. With regard
to the nomination, the governor de-
clared:
4 do not seek any public office. I have
not sought, nor shall seek. directly or
Indirectly 20 influence the selection or
the vote Of any delegate TO any conven-
ton, and with reference to the action Of
any delegate to any convention there
will be no suggestion or thought of in
huence, protest. or reprlsal in the execu-
tive chamber"
Received with Applause.
This declaration was received with an
outburst Of great enthusiasm, which was
only approached when the governor
tackled the subject Of the regulation Of
corporations.
The governor furthermore declared that
ne had no ambition to be a party boss.
but only TO be governor during his term,
with the constitutional functions of his
Office aiming in no wise to interfere in
any other department OF the government,
or to build up a personal machine.
silent on Hearst Fusion.
Not a word relative to the Republican
Hearst fusion in this county escaped the
governors lips. From what he said no
one would have imagined that he knew
there was any campaign going on this
fall His silence on this point confirmed
in the minds OF many present the belief
that Mr.. Parsons had tried to get the
governor TO voice a Public approval Of his
programme and had failed 10 DO so.
Another circumstance that helped in
this confirmation was the absence Of the
county chairman from the dinner It was
said by a member Of the dinner commit

pected, but he didn't appear. Neither do

The money market here was easy upon 9S,a
the surface. This is due in part to the
purpose of lenders to keep their funds IN

readily. The condition of ease in call

At the recent meeting of the executive
council of the American Bankers assoca-
tion at Hot Springs, Va, it was deemed
to the interstate commerce commission to
investigate the banking business now be-
irg carried on by the big express com
panies. A year ago a committee was ap-
pointed by the association to examine this
branch of the express business and the
report. recently, made by this committee
says the growth of this business Is prov
ing a menace to the banking world
1t is said one express company with
headquarters in New York city does
larger check business than any bank in
the country. The bankers maintain that
1t is unfair to them for the express com
panies to be allowed to carry on bank
ing business free from all the regulations
which the banks, national and state, have
to submit to. On the other hand the ex-
press companies say there Is nothing il
