e SA,RANAC INN, N. y, July 25.---
Governor Hughes spent the day an-
swering numerous letters received dur
Ing the past few weeks from admirers
of Ills work at Albany. which urge
him to reconsider his decision not to
run for Governor again. The Cover :
nor had laid aside these letters when
received, and to-day he took them
again and answered each one along
the line Of his announcement OF yes
atcrday. Many kind greetings were ex-
tended the Governor to-day by the
guests at 'Saranac Inn, when 1t was
learned that he was II, the race for
Governor again. Up to this evening
no VOID had been received from Fresi-
L. Woodruff by Governor Hughes, or,
lin fact, from any of the leaders OF the
Republican, State machine, as Mt pres
.ent constituted. But this apparently
is not worrying Governor Hughes. WHO
insists that this Is an excellent op-
portuntty to demonstrate to the peo.
pie whether would-be leaders or party
principles guide the party's destiny.
1t Is Unnecessary to say Governor
Hughes is awaiting with unfelgned IN
terest the response OF the Republican
State lenders to his announcement that
he would accept denomination. lie
expects 1t will be unnecessary for hinl
to make any other move: at least, that
is the Impression one gets from the
conversation with the Governor upon
this question. The fact the Governor
announced he would accept a party
renomination for Governor has caused
some OF the friends OF the State Re-
publican machine to indicate that the
Governor would not take part In an In
dependent political movement shoult
the party managers decide.
