Win on the First
Ballot
ASSEMBLIES
While Opposition is Still
Hopeful. Result is Not in
Doubt.

Saratoga. n. Y, Sept. 14.--That Gov.
ernor Charles e. Hughes viii be re-
nominated by the Republican state
convention which assembled here to-
day, as result Of tomorrow's balloting,
became certainty today. While the
opposition still has some hopes OF de-
feating the governor. one of the anti
Hughes leaders admitted privately to-
day that he thought the governor
would be renominated on the first bal
lot. The feature of today's session was
the speech of Elhu Root, who presd-
ed as permanent chairman. The fight
made upon Hughes has not been as
bitter as pictured and it is stated that
after the nominations for state officers
are made that the factions will get to-
|gether and work in common to win at
the polls in November.
Woodruff is Pessimistic.
State Chairman Timothy Woodruff
was drawn into an animated conversa-
tion with large group OF upstate del.
|egates on the headquarters hotel yer.
anda this morning. They endeayored
to convince the chairman that the vot-
ers upstate demanded the renomina-
tion of Governor Hughes. This brought
from Woodruff the statement that If
Hughes was nominated by the conven-
tion it would mean this fall the great
est slump the Republican party Of the
state has ever experienced.
President Roosevelt For Hughes.

Congressman Cox in reference to the
lgovernorship situation and has author
lied them to state that while he has
no intention of debating, yet to all his
| friends who have spoken to him on the
matter he has said in the strongest
sible terms that he favored the renom-
possible terms that he favored the re-
