ON THE HUGHES TICKET.
Gouerpor's S Friends VIII Haze Some
thing to Sag about Them.

Now that the denomination of Governor Hughes
has been assured the friends of aspirants for the
other places on the Republican state ticket be-
coming active. Just at present the state leaders
who opposed the idea of renominatinS the Gov

take kindly any consideration of candidates fcr
other Offices But after Timothy L" Woodruff, the
chairman of the state committee. returns from the
woods tomorrow he will probably hear scores of
suggestions the other places on the ticket In
deed he has received already n number of letters
booming favorite fo- various places. but he
has not had time to consider them, in view of the
uncertain condition in which the Hughes question
until Friday
1t has been suggested that perhaps Il would add
strength to the ticket in the western part of the
state to nominate Speaker Wadsworth for Ldeuten-
Governor He to been named in the
convention for Governor by Livingston County. and
delegates from other districts have been instructed
for him. 1t pointed by of his friends
yesterday, however that Mr.. Wadsworth would
probably be willing to accept the nomination.
as he would much rather hold his present place as
Speaker of the Legislature. which carries with it
much power
Senator Horace White Of Syracuse has also been
suggested for Lieutenant Governor He also has
had boom for the Governorshp. and the delegates
for Onondaga were expected to present his name to
the convention.
Ex-senator ". d. Barnes of Rensselaer, County
is the only put forward up to date as a
candidate for Secretary IF State put MANY others
VIII probably appear this week.
William Barnes, jr of Albany, his heart
on getting the nomination for Controller for Mayor
Gaus, who has carried the city of Albany at four
successive elections. 1t is possible that the nomi-
nation may be given him help him forget
his chagrin over the denomination of Governor

it is said.

mttee. has candidate for Controller in the per-
OF Edmund Fisher Mr.. Fisher is general man
ager of the Flatbush Trust Company and chairman
of the Committee on Legislation of the State Bank

Senator Hinman. of BroOme. has been suggested
as a candidate for Treasurer He lives in the
Southern Tier, which expects representation on the
ticket. The representative of the western part OF
the State will probab bly, come from Erie County. as

picking the candidate for State Engineer from that
end CT the state this year
Ex-Judge Charles S. Whitman will be put for-
ward by the New York delegates as the candidate
for Attorney General. D. G. B. Hasbrouck OF
Ulster, is also being mentioned for this nonina-
ton.
But II must be remembered that the Governor
did not seek denomination, which places him IN
a position make some suggestions as TO the
other members of the ticket. 1t is probable that
the friends of the Governor will insist on having
voice in picking out the men TO run with the Gov
ernor, and the party leaders cannot well refuse
such a request.
The Governors friends will also want to take a
hand in the nominations for the Senate and the
Assembly this year AS the Governor is 10 De re-
nominated the fact that Senator or an Assembly
man has been active in blocking the measures de-
sired by the Governor will be an argument 10 De
used, bv the Hughes supporters against the re-
nomination of that particular member of the Leg1s-
lature.
There was gathering of state leaders yester-
day AS the Hughes question had been settled the
leaders dropped political considerations as much as
possible President Parsons of the Republican
County Committee went LenOx. He will return
to morrow.
1t is understood that some of the leaders who
are unreconciled to the denomination of the Gov
ernor will seek chaIce to lay their arguments
before the President time this week. but those
who know the attitude of the President say that
any such mission would be more than useless.
No word was heard from Chairman Woodruff at
state headquarters yesterday. but it was under
stood that he had changed his plans about ar
irving in town the adirondack express early to-
morrow morning.
