MEN TO RUN
WITH GOV. HUGHES
Small BOsSletS in New York
Hope to Get to Name
Part of Slate.

NEW YORK, Aug. . The RepUb-
Hcau politicians OF the State having
been told that they are to renominate
Governor Hughes, are already talking
Of the makeup of the entire State
ticket
The small bossIets of the past ere
hopeful that they viii be permitted TO
pick out a few candidates
But the situation is already c0mpli-
Gated by geographical conditions. There
is a very general desire to nominate N.
Linn Bruce for lieutenant governor and
Job E. Hedges for attorney general
The fact that both men. as we'll as Gov
ernor Hughes, live in this city is what
complcates matters.
Bruce and Hedges are two of the star
campaigners of the party They are
personal friends of President Roosevelt,
and have both toured the State with
him when he was a candidate for gov
ernor and again when he was the nomi-
nee for Vice President.
It is recognized by the hosslets that
with the nomination Of Governor Hughes
ass. red there win be plenty of candi-
dates for ali the other places on the
State ticket They also know the ad-
vantage of having on the State ticket
men OF good records who are popular
speakers.
one of the principal tips today is TO
the effect that Hedges may be nOmi-
mated for attorney general, and State
Senator Horace White Of Syracuse for
lieutenant governor. Senator White has
been one of the loyal supporters of
Governor Hughes in the senate
If Bruce is not nominated for second
place on the State ticket. he will be
nominated for the one place on the SUI
preme court bench in this county that
is to be filed this fall. He served a
year on the supreme bench by appoint
meDt OF the late Governor Higgins.

Ohio Maid Fears to Cut
Loose After Ascension
in Big Balloon.
.CLINGS TO THE BAR
OF LITTLE TRAPEZE
Daring Aeronaut Who Goes Up at
Dayton Lost in Sky-Neye
Fails Her.

DAYTON, Ohio. Aug. 2z.-somewhere
in the ethereal blue, a young girl is
adrift IN a monster balloon, hanging
to the slender bar of a trapeze
The girl is Miss May Plummer. Of
Springfield, who made her first ascen-
sion at ? o'clock this afternoon at "a
picnic given by the Montgomery Couu-
ty Personal Liberty League
It was arranged that the daring fem
mine aeronaut pun the rope which re-
leases the parachute on a signal from d
man on the ground who rres a pistol
when a sufficient height IS reached to
make the opening Of the parachute a
certainty before the earth is veached
Instructions Are Explicit.
Instructions were carefully given Miss
Plummer before the balloon was cast
loose and she understood them per-
fectly, seeming entirely self possessed.
but when the balloon reached an alti-
tude of about thousand feet. and the
signal was given her, she made no Wis
fble effort TO cut herself loose. although
six shots were fired
1t is supposed that she lost her nerve
and IS clinging 10 the bar and riding
the balloon down.
Parties have started in the direction
taken by the balloon when il. disappear
ed, ana tidings are momentariIy ex-
pected.
Two other girls had agreed 10 make
the ascension, and the persons IN charge
were to make the selection at the last
minute. but when the time came for the
/ ascension. the other two declined TO be
/ considered as candidates, and Miss
Plummer was greatly pleased at her
/ selection.
Farmers See Balloon.
Word was received here about an hour
after the gas bag had disappeared. from
| farmers, who say the balloon had been
| observed AT a very high altitude, but
| beyond the fact that they could dis
| tinguish a passenger, they could give
no information as TO what efforts the
girl was making TO release the para
chute.
Those in charge OF the balloon have
been frantically telegraphing all over
/ this section OF the country in the hope
Of locating the gas bag and Miss Plum
mer, with no success.
If Miss Flummer's strength holds out
and she does not lose consciousness. she
may be able 10 retain her place On the
trapeze bar until the bOlIoOn lands.

the beginning of the work upon the
tariff is in such good hands that they
would be delighted TO sec il Continue
