matter. Added to the influence of
the president is that of James s.
Sherman, Taft's running mate. who
has announced himself in favor of
Hughes. Secretary of State Elihu
Root, temporary chairman of the
convention has taken no part in the
word warfare, but it is known that
Joseph II. Choate, who will preside
as permanent chairman, fayors the
denomination of the governor. Tim
othy L. Woodruff, chairman of the
republican state committee. former
foe of the present chief executive.
is said to be wavering under the in
fluence that has been brought to bear
upon him.
Despite the fact that the tide has
seemingly turned toward Hughes. the
governor will have many enemies in
the convention who will fight to pre-
vent his selection as the head of this
years ticket. William Barnes, Jr..
of Albany. is the head and front OF
the Hughes opposition. and will con-
troll the Albany county delegation.
1t is alleged that Barnes and his
followers are preparing to name a
dark horse. in the person of a man
of prominence. Secretary Elihu Root.
General Horace Porter and George
B. Cortelyou have been suggested as
candidates, although the latter defi-
nitely declared that he will not al
low his name to go before the con-
vention.
Opponents of Hughes admit that
they plan to select a gubernatorial
candidate who will prove to an
tithesis of the governor. but accept
able to the president and Candidate
Taft. With him at the head OF the
ticket they may name either Sena-
tor Horace White. of Syracuse. the
personal choice of Francis Hendricks.
Speaker James w. Wadsworth. or
NJ. Linn Bruce for lIeutenant-goy-
ernor; Mayor Charles II. Cans. the
Barnes favorite in Albany. for comp
troller; and then perhaps permit the
Hughes men to select the remainder
of the ticket
When William Barnes. Jr.. was
asked who the anti-Hughes dark
horse is. he said:
Il won't deny or affirm that there
is one. but would / not be foolish
TO disclose who he is just at this
time?
