ARE UN|TIAG
AGAINST HIM

Washington. Jan. ia series OF big
-.ivves are promised by the anti-Taft
leaders In short order They say they will
shortly explode the claims OF the secre-
tary's supporters The first move will,
probably be In New York
Tho friends OF every opposing candidate
at the capitol have word that there Is to
be a strong coalition forthwith OF all OPP
posing factions in the Empire state. OPP
posed 10 Taft and that this will become
apparent within a week
These factions will reach out at once TO
affect coalition with the anti-Taff
forces at the capitol. Out OF that inten-
ton grew the report that Gov. Hughes
had asked for conference with Senator
Crane. who keeps i'm closer touch with
all political activities I'm Washington than
any other senator. AS the Herald's Wash.
ington dispatches have already stated no
such letter or communication passed. but
friends OF Gov Hughes do want 10 get IN
to touch with the Cannon, Fairbanks and
Knox booms II will be surprising IL some
relations are not established within
week or SO.
The Fairbanks boom is figuring espe-
cially inthese tactics. In spite OF the pop
u!ar impression that his strength has
faded. the vice president has been quietly
working A large part OF Kentuckys vote
is said To be certain for him.
