When asked about the strength Of
Governor Hughes in upper New Yorl;
state Mr. Vrcelund put it this way:
Il know and have talked with many
of Governor Hughes most intimate
friends in that part of the state. They
a.o the very mon who would bo like
IS 10 make move IN behalf of Gov
crnor Hughes nomination. So far as
have been able 10 understand they
have moi yet made a stop in the di
rcction OF CAPTURING delegates for tho
Governor. This leads me TO believe
that they arc respecting n wish from,
Co"oTno! Hughes. In accordance viii,
his expressed attitude. OF not seeklng
any political prcforment Ny Sizing
M of the upper New York situation
is this. The Republicans there would
DO for Roosevelt as between Hughes
and Roosevelt. provided the latter
will accept the nomination for linn
self AS between Governor Hughes
and any on;sIdc----tllat Is. anyone
other than RooEevelt--ihey would be
for Hughes. Tho situation Ia snch
that President Roosevelt can secure
