liam X. Ward. member of the commit
tee from New York, but the national
chairman declined to be drawn into an
expression of opinion concerning the
nomination that should be made for
the governorship of the state. The
general impression is that the federal
administration would be opposed to
turning down Governor Hughes for a
second term. Hitchcock holds the
same view. but he refused to discuss
the question with any one.

of some statement showing some other
