NOT A CANDIDATE,
Sec. CorteIyou Will Not Enter Lists
Against Gov. Hughes.

New York. July 30.-Gossip has
been in circulation in this city for
several days to the effect that George
B. Cortelyou, secretary of the treas
ury. would allow the use Of his name
as a candidate for the nomination for
governor against Governor Hughes.
This gossip, however, apparently had
no basis in any statements by Mr..
Cortelyou on his friends. 1t is said
some of the leaders of the Republican
state organization approached Mr..
Cortelyou before Gov. Hughes an
nounced his willingness to accept re-
nomination, and that these leaders
asked Mr.. Cortelyou whether he would
be willing to become Il candidate in
the event that further consideration
indicated his probable nomination. 1t
is not under stood that the nomination
was definitely offered to Mr.. Cortelyou.
Mr. CcrtelyOu gave no explicit reply to
these suggestions, but promised to con-
sider them. Today the Evening Post pub
lisllcd the statement that it is highly
improbable that Mr.. Cortelyou will allow
the use of his name and that Mr.. COretl-
you has reached that decision after dis
