The following with reference tt the Chanler boom for the Democrat ic nomination for president of thu United States is produced from New York paper:
 Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, Lieu tenant governor of New York, is pronounced candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for the presiden cy. His canvass is under way in var. ious sections of the country and Il will be pushed vigorously. Chanler' $ friends say that he is in the race to to stay until the finish, he believes confidently that he will be the choice of his party's national conven- tion. Proof that came to The Press last night makes it pretty certain that men of financial and political weight have combined in many states to bring about Chanler's nomination. Many of the interests that were for Judge Parker three years ago are in the new combine, and emisaries are "out on the road" doing missionary work. They hope to get all the Eastren states, and with the assistance of John Sharp Williams, a big slice of the South west.
 Plausible arguments are being ad- vanced for Chanler, and reports from a confidential source are that many Democrats, who do not wish to see either Bryan or Hearst nominated, are rallying to the Lieutenant Gov ernor. The extensive belief that New York will in all probability fur nish the next Republican candidate for the presidency, also is having an effect for Chanler, as his advance agents point out that he polled near ly 22.000 more votes than Hearst in the last state election and within 35,000 of Governor Hughes total vote. It had been intended that New York should be the first to make the formal announcement of the Chanler candidacy, but some of his friends in other states were premature, and in Louisiana, Vir- ginia and Tennessee, expressions in his favor have already been publish ed.
 John Fox, president of the Demo- cratic club in this city, of which Chanler is a member, last night gave out a prepared interview dis claiming emphatically for Chanler's nomination. It was said at the Democratic club that Charles F. Mur- phy of ramany Hall, Big Tim' Sullivan and State Chairman Con- ners also prefer Chanler Democrats conspicuous in this financing of the Parker canvass ,also are mention ed as being among his sponsors.
 MT. Chanler has been invited to speak in Georgia and other South ern states and he will visit the South in a few months. None of the Democratic leaders in this state, it is learned are at heart for Bryan's nomination, while many prefer Chanler to Hearst. It is under stood that one reason for springing Chanler thus early is to embarrass Hearst, who was responsible for Chanler's nomination for lieutenant governor and who has praised him since in his speeches.
 How can Hearst consistently op- pose Chanler?" local Democrat asked last night "Chanler. beat him at the polls and can get many Demo- cratic votes outside New York which never would So for Hearst"
 Another Democrat said that if Hearst were wise and wished to make sure of Bryan's undoing, he would indorse Chanler's canvass promptly and drive Bryan out of the race, for Bryan's friends have contended all along that Bryan would decline to oe a candidate if substantial opposition should deyel- op against him before convention time A conspicuous Democrat from the south said:
 We want to win the presidency. and if New York Democrats really are on the level for Chanler, and believe he can poll more votes than anybody else in New York, We will nominate him and take another chance, although the last campaign
