as II he were just paying a. social WISH
when he saw the newspaper men,
w. r. Holt the London newspaper man
who was engaged in getting as man! III
pressions Of America as possible IN thirty
six hours. bounced in on the GoVernoi-
elect at the Manhattan Hotel just oeiols
noon. He asked Mr. Dix to tell him Tue
meaning Of the Democratic sweep at inc
recent election sIt was because the peo-
Die were demanding economy and the rlsnl
to initiate the laws, not to have them H'aoo
for them was Mr.. Dixs response
Taking with him big round red apps
from the Dix homestead, in washington
County, Mr.. Holt bounded down the Hull

Judge John Clinton Gray Of the Court
Of Appeals, called to pay his respects'
Among other callers were Herbert r. Dis
sell, Theodore Sutro, president of the Ger
American Alliance William H flt@-
patrick and Judge Charles A Collin. Inc
last named was the first legal adviser TO the
Governor that this state ever had, having
held that post under Governor Flower II

trying to persuade Judge Collin to go back
to his old place. but the Governor-elect

From the luncheon at Delmonicos MI
Dig went across the street to Sherry's,
where Henry r. IckeIheinner was enter
tanning the trustees OF Cornell University
Mr.. Dix met Governor White there, but
did not have a chance to talk with him
very long.
Mr.. Dix accepted an invitation to be one
Of the guests at the dinner Of the Ne"
York Press Club on January q.
Starts for Albany To-day.
The Governor-elect will start for Albany
at S:45 o'clock this morning after what he
calls the most strenuous eight days that
he ever had. He said he had found the
ofaceseekers quite as in1portunate as he
had expected, but had not found it hard
to reason with them. He does not expect
to have any more appointments to an
nounce before his return to Albany from
Canada, where he goes tonight. On
Wednesday he will be the guest at dinner
of Earl Grey, Governor General of Canada,
in Ottawa
There was no change in the United States
Senatorship race yesterday. Strong tips
were being put out on William F. Sheehan,
but men who are in a position to know
maintain that Mr.. Sheehan's chances are
not so good as they were a week ago
There is a feeling that the stock of Ed
ward NJ Shepard will take a rapid rise
next week. Mayor Gaynor has been rather
surprised that the Democratic leaders have
not taken up Mr.. Shepard. as he believed
Itthey should, and it is understood that he
is prepared to exert his influence with
Charles F Murphy and John McCooey IN
favor of the Brooklyn man.
Thomas Mott Osborne, who will be BACK
from Europe this week is also expected
to do much to aid the Shepard boom. He
will probably start a vigorous campaign
I for Mr.. Shepard at once. ~
Friends of Charles F. Murphy declare
that the state leader VIII probably keep
everybody dangling in the air on the SEN
atorship matter until just before the
caucus, which is to be held on January IT
They predict that If sneehan and Shepard
seem to be about evenly matched as to
strength that Mr. Murphy is more than
likely TO put through Daniel F.. Cohalan
as a compromise eandidats at the last
minute.
