NEW YORK STRONG :

Politicians Up in the Air on

State.

II is thought that New York once
more will be the pivotal state in a
Presidential contest. A good deal OF
talk is heard that New York no longer
Is necessary TO either party, but this is
not credited by practical politicians,
who calculate that New York today is
Just as much the determining State a.
il ever was.
Much attention Is being given TO En-
pire State affairs. especially by the Re
publicans Their party has some pecu-
har difficulties there, which cOmplicate

AT any rate. il Is now apparent that

All these suggestions. OF course, rep

The leaders of the House have been

Senate will not put them through. The
result is that the Senate mas TO stand
for any criticism that may come for
the failure 10 enact the bills into law.
Feeling resentful as a result of this,

F Senators said today that they were
not particularly anxious 10 adjourn,

II the Republican national convention
decides that it wants Senator Beverage
as temporary chairman instead Of Sen
ator Burrows, It will be accommodated
with a speech Mr.. Beveridge will be
ready With one OF the Roosevelt style,
and there is reason TO believe that If
he doesn't deliver 1t, the reason will
be that he will have been rejected by
roll call OF the convention itself
The action of the subcommittee of the
Republican National Committee I'm Sc
lecting Senator Burrows Of Michigan
to be temporary chairman has caused
a remarkable protest from all parts of
the country. The fact is made appar-
ent not only by newspaper comment,
but, stiN more plainly, by personal let
tiers of which a great number have been
received by Senators and members or
the House. All sorts Of protests are
voiced: but in general. the objection is
20 having the convention keynote sound
ed by a Senator who is not regarded by
the followers OF President Roosevelt
as their kind of man."
May Be Convention Feature.
Il has become apparent in the last
three or four days that this protest Is
! certain TO assume such proportions as
will make 1t the great, oyershadowing
feature Of the conventions opening
days. The political possibilities of the
affair are of course absolutely unlimited.
A revolution ia favor of Roosevelt ideas
and ideals and policies, which in the
opening hours of the gathering could
| crystalline enough strength to undo the
action of the national committee, cause
the rejection of its nominee for chair
man. and the selection Of another man
merely for the reason that the conven-
/ ton wanted a spokesman of Roosevelt
/ ism rather than an exponent Of the Op-
posite idea would be something -'lIh
