He VIII Speak Later.
New York. Aug 5.-Persons with little
gubernatorial booms concealed about them
can do no better than call at the Out
look office on Tuesdays and Fridays. when
the contributing editor is at home. You
need not have a very serious boom, so
long as II Is a boom Within the past
few weeks no less than twenty Names by
actual count. have been set before Col.
Roosevelt IN the hope that he viii say,
by George. this is hneF' or something
like that. and end the whole performance
right then and there. But he only smiles
and sheds a couple OF beams ever his
countenance.
An unknown slipped the name OF John
Mitchell, former president Of the United
Mine Workers OF America, to the con-
tributing editor. The sociological trip
into the coal region OF Pennsylvania
brought the two together quite good
deal. II was learned tonight that Mr..
Mitchell and Col Roosevelt discussed the
matter at that time. for somebody had
suggested 1t to the labor leader.
How far the colonel will go toward at
tempting TO get John Mitchell into line
for the gubernatorial nomination OF New
York is uncertain. Mr.. Roosevelt said
that while he had been friends with
Mitchell for many years. he had never
thought of him as a possibility for gov
ernor, probably because he was under
the impression that Mitchell is resident
Of Pennsylvania. He has learned from
others, however. that the labor leader
has maintained a residence in Mount
Vernon. in westchester County. for the
past two years. and has been actively en-
gaged in this city as chairman Of the
trades agreement committee Of the Ma
tlonal Civic Federation.
Regards Mitchell Highly.
The contributing editor admitted to-
day that he had discussed the matter
with Mr.. Mitchell. He would say that
he regard him highly. as he does A lot
OF folks. and that he had often con-
suited with him while T. r. was in the
WhiA House Outside or that. he had
nothing 70 say Mr.. Mitchell was not In
town to-day.
Those who heard Of this latest boom
appeared to wonder what Col Roosevelt
had 10 do with II. for they thought that
Mitchell was attached 70 the State OF
Pennsylvania. A good many expressed
the opinion that the labor leader has not
the slightest chance TO land the nomi-
nation, and that even II he did he
wouldn't get elected. Probably Mr.
Mitchell will speak when he arrives, the
early part OF next week.
There Is yet another besides Mr..
Mitchell who has not been doomed up %
to-day He is Edmund c. Wetmore
president Of the University Club and
formerly president OF the Republican
Club. William J. Youngs. United States
district attorney in Brooklyn. brought
his name to the colonel. Mr. Youngs
spent half an hour with Col. Roosevelt
and emerged with the same satisfied
smile they all wear as they step from
the sanctum. He said that T. r. seemed
to be interested. but nothing else. The
colonel is interested in everything and
every one.
No Others offered.
Besides Mitchell and wetmore. no
other candidates were offered for the
coloners Endorsement to-day. There will
be more on Tuesday, and they will con-
tinue to float in until the crucial moment
arrives, when he really will have some
thing TO say. That will probably be after
a long conference with politicians IN
whom he believes. Col. Roosevelt isn't
going about The matter blindly, and Is
not affected ty sentimental booms. Still,
he likes TO n set en- all

The tact that the contributing editor
has revealed on other occasions was

etor Of the Lyons Republic who has
fought against direct primaries Just as
Mr.. Green has fought for them. arrived
After his conference, he was as tIckled
