.o,,inated as the Republican candidate for
,,avor of New York last night. arrived here to-

~. will support me, have not had the chance

aoe,i,ev with regard 10 the campaign is that
have informed Mr.. Parsons and the Repuo-
I,can leaders in New York that they can count

which is within my power

vr Rannard said that his advices from New
YORK were that his nomination would prove
satisfactory 10 all the anti-Tammany elements.
~ ,,os,,,on n the Hearst forces, of course
:. -a.r,io-" he said II have been and am now
on organization Republican. The Hearst rep
resentative Quit the conference committee when
was attempting 10 agree 10 ticket and
declaration OF principles. In the face OF his
withdrawal, considering the reasons which he
.ecr55ed il is difficult TO imagine his supporting
me. There is no political or practical possibility
chat the Hearst interests can support the Tam
many nominee. whomsoever he may be. The
Hearst people may have TO go it alone. in which
case Mr. Hearst might become a candidate for
Mayor himself Stranger things have happened
sn New York.
HAS LITTLE FEAR OF GAYNOR.
Personally, should welcome a duel between
Justice Gaynor. as the Tammany nominee. and
myself / would have little fear Of the result
r. that case. Murphy may not name Justice
Gaynor. His only reason. the political lead
ers understand is that TamHlany throws sop
20 Brooklyn. in the expectation OF securing the
rest Of the ticket and the control of the Board
Of Estimate. which is all that Tammany wants
and al Tammany ever has wanted
The real issue is down 20 one big dominating
point: Is Tamnany 10 be permitted 20 continue
& It's control Of the contracts. through the Esti-
mate Board. and is the patronage Of the Con-
trOlsrs Office TO remain the chief asset Of the
rammany organization?" ,"
Mr Barnard did not wish 20 give hts views in
Ee ssid thar TO do so at this time would not be
4 .nr 70 himself or 70 the convention which NOM
81 mated him.

Republican convention formulated. / am ad-
vised from New York that need have fear
IN making such q statement although have not

I Mg Barnard said that his return 70 New York !
n or Tuesday w5tld open the campaign 50 far as
be WAS personally concerned, but that. due TO
ihe festivities incident u the Hudson Fulton
celebration, active ork would not be undertaken
mil some time later.
TPresume Of course that my connection with
tae New York Trust Company viii be used as a
h c2-npaign argument" said Mr. Barnard. THAT
might have been expected That institution
io"eser' is not IN the control of any financial
Clique or Of any particular group Of financial
interests. and certainly il is not controlled by
s4y railroad or traction interests"
