ALBANY. n. Y, April 9.-Commit-
teeman William r. Barnes of this
county, in a statement sent by him
to the twenty third congressional dis
trict Republican convention tonight, in
acceptance of election as delegate to
the Republican national convention,
Ge clared that he would not vote at
Chicago for the nomination of Gov
elnor Hughes, whose political course
he sharply criticised. He made it plain
that his preference was for Taft.
MIR. Barnes and Mayor Horace s.
Van Voest of Schenectady were elected
as delegates to the Chicago cOnVen-
ton. There was no contest. The DEL
egation Is uninstructed, the resolutions
simply indorsing the administration Of
President Roosevelt.
There is no mention whatever of
Governor Hughes.
Mr. Barnes in his statement says:
1.-The governor of this state is can
oi0ate for the presidential nomination
and should be pledged to the record of
the party and its future cohesiveness.
did l believe that such was his at
tjtude l would cheerfully vote for his
nomination at the Chicago convention.
II would be the natural and orderly
thing to do; but confident as | am
fl ON a close examination of his public
utterances and his record as governor
that there is in his mind no deep con-
Germ for the party that created him
1 cannot justify myself IL l lend my
support to his candidacy.
From his record | learn that he is
an exponent of individualism and not
the custodian of honorable party gov
eminent. Because of this irresponsi-
biiity to those who have been his fol-
levers and adherents L will not be able.
in justice to my own opinion and to
what believe is best for the nation,
to cast my vote for him at Chicago
Referring to Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Barnes
declared that had he not requested that
| those who believe in the wisdom of
his candidacy should not interfere with
any of the so-called "favorite sons
he would have advocated that the dele
| cation support him.

ALLEGED BRIBERS
AGAIN ON TRIAL
UNITED RAILWAYS COUNSEL
UP ONCE MORE
FACES SAN FRANCISCO COURT
FOR THE THIRD TIME
One Venreman Thinks Right People
to Prosecute Case Would Be
Supervisors Who Took
the Money
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April s.-The third
trial of TREY L. Ford on charge OF
bribing supervisors in connection with
the granting of q trolley franchise in
this city to the United Railways. of
which Ford is general counsel, was be-
gun before Superior Judge Lawlor to-
day.
In the previous trials one jury dis
agreed, and one brought in verdict OF
acquittal.
OF twenty-five veniremen who were
examined, Assistant District Attorney
.O'Gara found it necessary to challenge
fifteen for cause. OF the remaining
seven, five remain subject to peremptory
challenges. One was not on the assess
ment roll and the only venirenan whom
the defense challenged for cause had
first said that in the case of man who
had been previously tried and acquitted
he would entertain certain bias IN MS
favor.
At the opening of the day Stanley
Moore, one of Ford's attorneys, entered
an objection to the courts proceeding
with this third trial of Ford on the
ground that he had been once acquitted
and that Patrick Calhoun was entitled
to be tried without further delay. This
objection was .overruled by the court
Venireman Facetious
John d. Mansfield, employed with the
Denver & Rio Grande, IN answer to
question, said
II think they are prosecuting the
wrong people. l have thought that all
the time"
"who do you think are the right
people to prosecutor" inquired Assist
ant District Attorney O'Gara, and
Mansfield replied:
1.-THE supervisors who accepted the
bribes.''
1t looked as II Mansfield would not be
allowed to serve, but as he said he
would put aside his opinion and give
the defendant fair trial he was passed
for the time.
Benjamin A. Brilliant said he thought
he could act imparitially, and he was
passed pending peremptory challenges.
Harry b. Randall, the last to be ex-
amined, fatty expressed the opinion
that "he believed Ford was innocent
and for the fifteenth time O'Gara chal-
lenged and the talesman was excused.
This left five in the box and seven
more names were drawn before the
court adjourned.
