OUT FLAT AGAINST III.
State Chairman Woodruff Inuesti-
eating Gaynor as a Candidate.

Chairman outerbridge Of the Committee OF One
Hundred. after q two-hour session yesterday OF
the committee candidates Of the Hundred came
fatty against Tammany Hall and declared
that the man who gets the Hundreds Endorsement
Will oppose everything that Tammany stands for.
This probably that il Justice Gaynor is
indorsed by Tammsny Hall he Will not be IN
dorsed by the Committee of One Hundred unless
he puts himself squarey before the voters as OPP
posed 10 Tammany.
Asked for a formal statement with reference 10
attitus~ OF the Hundred. Mr. outerbridge, after
consulting with his colleagues OF the committee on
candidates, said:
in the consideration of the various names be-
fore tho committee candidates II was clearly
manifest that the sentiment OF the committee was
that no man could receive its Endorsement for the
Office OF Mayor except a man who will conduct
campaign opposed to everything that Iammahy
Hall stands for"
'.shau you adhere TO the policy regarding
the other candidates the city ticketT Was asked
Yes" said the chairman. That apples TO all
the candidates on the city ticket"
Before debating a formal statement outlining the
Hundreds attitude, Mr.. outerbridse went httis
further in placing the organization unequiVoeaNy
against Tammany.
No one will be considered for Mayor" said he,
who has ever had Tammsny Affiliations or who
will not conduct campaign against Tammany-
The Committee OF One Hundred will meet this
afternoon. at which time Will be taken up the
Curtis incident on Wednesday last Thomas j.
Curtis a member OF the Hundred went TO Ian-
many Hall and urged Charles r. Murphy TO bring
about the nomination OF President Bensel or the
Board OF Water Supply the Tammany candidate
for Mayor Curtis said he acted In the capacity Oh
a representative of about hfty labor organizations
friendly to Mr.. Bensel for past favors.
The declaration by Chairman outeroridse last
night makes II perfectly clear that Curtiss action
was at variance with the prevailing sentiment IN
the organization II is understood that some sort
be cd
stinnecked receiving Il. may be asked TO resign
When asked last night II the list OF "eligioles
considered by the Hundreds COMMITTEES on Candi-
dates had been whitfield down TO four-Gustav H.
Schwab, Justice Gaynor, Henry l. Stimson and
Charles s. whtman-Mr. outerbridge said the re-
port was erroneous.
Timothy L. woodruff. chairman OF the Republican
State Committee was at state headquarters yester-
day. When asked about the Gaynor boom he said:
How strong is Judge Gaynor?"
When the newspaper men told him that IL was
the prevalent belief that the judge would prove 70
be a strong candidate. especially in Brooklyn, Mr.
Woodruff said:
II think so. too There are two sides TO any such
consideration, however. and we've got to know that
the Judge is willing TO and 10 accept our nomi-
nation before we can even discuss the probability
OF his nomination"
is there any Republican who stands out pre-
eminently fitted to meet the situation which exists
and 10 lead the nt-Tammany torces"
That's the are looking for, said Mr..
Woodruff. Naturally. we Republicans would rather
support a Republican than Democrat II II
comes down TO the nomination OF Democrat there
will be lot OF kicking among the Repuolcans
But we realize that have 20 furnish the right
man IL We are going 10 ask the support Of Demo
Gratis and independents"
The executive committees OF the Republican CITY
and county committee will meet this afternoon at
O'Clock at county headquarters. The committees
will fix the dates for the various conventions and
attend TO other routine matters.
