pected two contests would be put UP
against his MEN, in the Ninth by Doyle
and In the Sixth by Mcclure. The home
rule element it was estimated, would
stand solidly behind McCarren.
Senator McCarren said that he had no
candidates to announce as yet and that
everything was at skies and sevens 30
far as he had observed.
Attorney General William Schuyler
jackson was one of the arrivals here
to-day. He opened headquarters on the
second floor of the Whitcomb, one flight
above Chairman Conners. and announced
that he would be a candidate for renomi-
nation to the finish, and at once became
very busy.
Not one person in a hundred here be-
lieves Mr.. jackson has a chance, Mr..
jackson has not met with any encourage
ment from anybody to-day in his aspira-
tions to succeed himself. He has not been
near Mr.. Conners. Ex-Judge John P Linn
OF Rochester is a candidate for Jaokson's
Although the situation is largely up
in the air tonight Mr.. Brown Is reported
to have the best show. He was men
toned prominently for the place at Buffalo 10
two years ago, but there Ia nobody who is
willing to bet even postage stamp to-
night that Mr. jackson will be on the
ticket There are. Of course, other can
Thomas l. Wagner Of Brooklyn and
Thomas l. Carmody Of Penn Yam, who
was temporary chairman Of the Carnegie
Hall convention, and Charles n. Bulger
are among these candidates. Martin F.
Dillon, one OF Jackson's deputies, Is
another.
Another State officeholder who hopes the
lightning win strike him again turned up
to-day in the person of Secretary Of State
John Whalen. Mr.. Whalen was a redhot
Hearst man two years ago. and in COM
pany with some labor men made a 80
called cannon ball tour of the State for
Mr. Hearst and the ticket. The most
Mr. Whalen would say to-day was that
he was hopeful of being renominated. or
course, like the other places, 1t all depends
on the powwow OF the leaders tomorrow.
There have been rumors that Thomas
W. Finucane OF Rochester wants to be
nominated for Comptroller. and Of course
Monroe cannot claim more than one
place on the ticket. 30 that would leave
would like to be the nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor, but nobody takes that
seriously. Mayor Walsh Of Yonkers is
here crying for recognition and wants to
be named for Whalen's job, 30 does Will
lam c. Page Of Monroe.
Comptroller Martin H. Glynn can be
renominated IL he wants the job. The
interests are being looked after by Patrick
f. McCabe, the Albany county leader
1t is understood that Glynn. who Is a
great favorite, could have any place out
side Of the Governorship.
Neither State Treasurer Hauser the
Long Islander who was discovered sud-
denly at Buffalo two years ago. nor State
Engineer Skene is here and nobody ap-
pears to be working for either Of them.
As for Mr.. Hauser he W would be glad enough
to be renominated, but the Indications
are that he won't be. Even the Demo-
Gratis are asking who he is. Mr.. Hauser's
chances are imperilled by the candidacy
Of George W. Batten, who is close to Chair
man Conners and Is deputy under
Hauser.
Stephen Ryan. one OF Mr. Skene's depu-
ties said tonight that the State Engineer
did not want a denomination. Mr.. Ryan
said IL would mean great sacrifice per-
to Mr.. Skene II he consented to
run again. The report tonight is that
McCarren can nominate a Brooklyn man
for this place il he wants to. Ithas more
patronage than most Of the other places
and is said to be part or Mr.. Connerss
peace plan which Mr.. Murphy so rudely
