Henry l.. stimson. Republican candi-
date for Governor. visited Republican
State headquarters on West Thirty ninth
street yesterday TO confer with Ezra p.
! Prentice. the newly elected State Chair
man. While there Mr.. Stmson was asked
for his viNws concerning the attitude Of
the Independence League in nominating &
John j. Hopper for Governor and Mr..
Hearst for Lieutenant Governor. when IL
had been understood In political circles
for nearly two weeks that the Indepen-
deuce League was 10 indorse Stimsou,
name Mr.. Hearst for LieutenAnt-Govern
and thea to indorss the remaining candi-
dates on the Republican State ticket.
Mr. Stimson said In reply: There In a
great difference Of sentiment In New
York city and up State in this matter
Up State they seem to have little use for
the league. lt all depends on the To-
cality I am a Republican and believe In
standing ON my own platform without
sntangling alliances. Still | do not want
90 discourage any one from voting for
me shall he glad II the Independence
League nominats- a separate ticket.
Mr. Stimson seemed 90 believe that an
independent Hearst ticket would draw
more largely from the Democratic party
than from the Republicans. In these
views Chairman Prentice conceded. With
ont the slightest doubt there has been
change on the part of Republicans toward
the Hearst Independence League. bel ore
Mr. Hopper Was nominated 10y the league
the Republicans were confident that the
proposed attitude OF the league IN in
dorstng MIR. Stimson and others on the
Republican ticket would greatly benefit
them in the campaign.
Several years ago Benjamin b. Odell.
Jr.. then chairman of the Republican state
committee. hitcned up an alliance with
the Hearst league and thus won control
of the Board Of Aldermen. although the
late Little Tim sullivan came IN later and
recaptured control Then too the he
publicans recalled that Representative
Parsons as president Of the New York
county Republican committee has made
alliances 10 times past with the Hearst
league. Whatever the sentiment IL now
II may be stated without the slightest
fear Of contradiction that about every
Republican connected az Saratoga with
the Roosevelt Parsons -0riscom forces
whispered in your ear Wait for Hearst.
and this was said with something like
genuine enthusiasm.
Tammany men recsived yesterday a
circular which they said emanaeed from
Repuhlicans offering them IS a day TO
join with the Hearst people on registra-
'ion days IN working for a heavy Republi-
can registration. There - no doubt
that these circulars were sent out. az the
Tammany men turned them over TO Re
publican Assembly district leaders with
the inquiry What th. devil does this
mean'" The Republican Assembly dis
trlct leaders who knew about this matter
said that they had plenty Of Republicans
who would work on registration days Tor |
IS day and they couldn't understand !
how these circulars had been nent to |
Tammany men. Their explanation OF the ,
matter later in the day was that some !
body had either Numbered OF that some |
body was attempting the old Indiana |
game Of blocks of five
Republican candidates for Congress in |
New York county have begun already. II |
was learned. TO besiege Wall Street men !
with requests for campaign contribu- |
tions. Most Of the Wall Street men i'm /
portuned 10 contribute Haid that most |
Of the Republican candidates wound up !
their appeals by saying i am going TO |
have very hard fight and need substan.
