NEW YORK REPUBS
ANTT-HUGHEs LEADERS ARE STILL
 FIGHTING.
Late Last Night They Pr0fessed Con- Mdence in the Success of TheiR Efforts to Defeat Hughes
 Renominatfon.

Saratoga. N. r.. Sept. i3.--FightinR desperately over every inch of ground to prevent the renomination of Gov ernor Hughes by the Republican State convention. which begins its sesSlon tomorrow. the anti-Hughes leaders late tonight professed confidence in the success of their efforts but there had been a distinct dimlnuition in assurance during the evening. Veteran politicians some of thAm bitterly opposed to the Governor. oth- CTS committed to his support. declared their belief that he will be nominated In spite of all efforts to prevent 1t.
 One of the most earnest opponents to the Governor after a careful can vass of the delegates already on the ground said:
 T have little confidence in beating Hughes. The trouble Is that a lot of delegates who ordinarily would obey orders. are thinking for themselves. They tell me that they are not going to vote against Hughes here and then so home to be crucined. There is still a fighting chance but do not take much stock in it.
 The main difficulty with which the anti Hughes leaders had to contend was that of finding a man of adequate po- litical size upon whom the opposition could unite. Secretary of State Root who will preside over the convention. was hardly on the ground before gos- sip was busy with his name. At first reticent, MT. Root finally made 1t clear that he must not be considered. The name of Joseph H. Choate was the subject of some mention, but hardly gained prominence. Finally the gossip narrowed down upon former Ambassa- dor Horace Porter and toward the end of the night his was the name most frenuentlY mentioned.
