New York, Aug. 2s.-With the
heads of both national committees
engaged in councils with their advis-
ors, the new executive committee of
New York state Republican commit
tee in session considering the govern
orship question and the officers of the
Republican Congressional committee
ccnfering with President Roosevelt at
oyster Bay, there is decidedly more
activity in political circles in New
York today than since the parties or
ganized for campaign work.
From a point of wide spread in
terest the gathering of the New York
state executive committee ranks the
highest, and 1t is believed here that a
majority of the men present oppose
the nomination of Hughes for anoth-
eT term.
The meeting was called for the
the purpose of making up a basis of
representation in the senatorial con-
vention in several of the upstate coun-
ties but there is no doubt but what
the denomination of Hughes will be
discussed. No announcement on this
subject is expected however.

GIVE ANDREWS MAJORITY
Travelling Auditor Stafford Says the
Voters Want Statehood and
Know Who Can Get 1t.

Las Vegas, n. M, Aug. 2S.-Polit-
ical conditions have shown a marked
change in Colfax county and Dele
gate Andrews, head of the Repub-
lican ticket, will be elected by a ma
jority of at least 500 in that county.
That is the statement made by Ter

the books and accounts of San Miguel
county, following a trip to Ration.
Dawson, Springer and other points
in the northern section of New Mex
leo.
THE Democrats may get a few II
the minor offices in Colfax county at
the fall election" Mr.. Stafford says,
but the main offices and the head Of
the ticket will carry the county with
a good margin.
II find that political conditions are
better understood up there than in
the past and the majority of the peo-
pie are out for Delegate Andrews
They want statehood, and they know
the only way to get it is to elect a
Republican to Congress. This it is
their intention to do"
Reports from Colfax county through
other sources are to the effect that
Candidate o. A. Larrazolo, who is the
Democratic nominee in opposition 10
Mr.. Andrews. received anything but
a cordial reception during his recent
tour of Colfax county. 1t Is claimed
! that he endeavored to inflame pretu-
dice and arouse feeling between the
native voters and the other residents
of the county and that this effort on
the part of Larrazolo only served TO
make stronger the sentiment against
| him and in favor of Mr.. Andrews.
