New-York tribune., 1910-08-26

watch the Democrats win with Gaynor
II is not a long chance guess to say
that there would be fairly broad smiles
in Albany. Rochester. Syracuse and at
few intermediate stations if such a Sc
ries OF events occurred.
Menatime. ii begins to look as II there
would be a pretty radical re-d1ustment
OF affairs in and out of the state COM
nittee before this fight ends. Lloyd Girls
com is receiving all kinds of communi-
cations and many visitors from upstate
counties
These tell him about dissatisfaction
with boss rule. sentiment for direct pri-
maries. desire for Roosevelt as tempo
rary chairman of the convention, and
the strength which any effort 10 ever
throw the "old guard would muster
above The Bronx. He is getting such
cheerful news that he is quite willing to
keep plugging along at this work while
Nesrs. Barnes and Woodruff issue their
statements.
The result of the Orleans County con-
vention seemed to him merely an indi-
cation Of what was going to happen in
many other counties.
Cheered by Orleans.
The news from Orleans County this
morning" said Mr. Griscom. shows how
the Republicans of New York State feel
in the present contest. 1t will ring from
end TO end of the state and stir Repubfi-
cans everywhere II will be followed
soon by other victories for the men who
have sided with Taft and Roosevelt
This mornings mail brought additional
good news Of the progress We are max
ing"
While Mr.. Griscom's statement gave
positive evidence of the state of affairs
over which the Progressives are SO
rleased. negative evidence was furnished
hy the announcement by State Commit
teenlan John J. Bartlett. from Nassau
and Suffolk counties. Mr.. Rooseveit's
home district. that he had dropped out
Of the fight
Bartlett did not show up at the meet
ing of the state committee at which ex-
President Roosevelt was defeated for
temporary chairman. He had given
proxy to Lafayette b Gleason. secre-
rarv Of the state committee and mem
Der Of the "old guard"
When asked last night whether he had
repIieG to the letter Of Samuel L Par
rish. former chairman Of the Suffolk
County Republican Committee. Nr.
Bartlett said he mad dispatched the
answer. He had no memorandum at
hand, SO he could not give the terms Of
his letter.
Did YOU answer his first question
whether you would have voted as your
proxy did at the meeting of the state
committee was asked of Mr.. Bartlett.
MIR. Bartlett Evasive,
Although the telephone had been
working quite clearly UP TO that mo-
nent. Mr. Bartlett suddenly discovered
an interruption on the line. and the
question had to be repeated several
times. Finally, he said:
What is the use of talking Of things
that are past and gone? So far as /
am concerned. I am through with the
whole thing. A year ago, l served no
+ice that I would not serve another
form. and during the last few m 'nlhs
have not done a thing as state cof'-
raitteeman."
DO YOU intend TO do anything to bring
about a change in the appointment of
the temporary chairman
Whatever is done will be done by the
deegates 10 the Saratoga convention. I
am out Of II for good. The delegates
viii be chosen AT the coming primaries
and they viii act as they see fit. have
tried TO do my share in the past but I
am through now for good.
What part will you take in the cleo
ton of your successor or Of the delegates
TO the convention?'
None al all l am taking absolutely
no interest in the matter I am through
and do not want to have anything more
10 do with the matter I have as much
as I can do TO attend to my business"
Dady to Heed the People.
Michael J. Dady. boss of the 1st As
sembly District of Kings, expressed
fervent wish last night that the news
papers would leave the Republican party
alone for a short time. What We need
is harmony" said he. and we would
have a good chance TO get together if
the papers would let us alone"
The voters of your district are asking
what your position is III regard TO the
state situation.
There is no question of position" he
replied i viii do what the people want
me TO. AS soon as I can find out what
their wishes are in regard TO my voting
for Sherman or Roosevelt the next time
I Will have a statement to make. The
people of this district know that I Will
do the right thing
1T is not true that I voted for Vice
President Sherman for temporary chair
man Of the state convention under any
misunderstanding or misapprehension,"
continued Mr.. Dady. i knew what !
was doing, as did every one at the meet
ing II was announced that Mr.. Sher-
man had been selected for temporary
chairman. and We all We're pleased with
mentioned before the meeting was
called. In fact. none of US knew that
he was candidate until Mr.. Griscom
sprung the former Presidents name. 1t
was a surprise practically to all Of us"
