WANTSSTRONG CANDIDATE

Hopes for Nomination Of Republican
for Governor Who Will Be Accent
able to Rank and File of Party and
Will Do Everything in His Power to
Elect Such Man-Refuses to Dis
cuss Various Men Proposed.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 14.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt has given the first in
dication of his position in respect to
the nomination of Republican candi-
date for governor of New York this
fall. In an interview he said:
My position in regard to the gov
ernorship this fall is this: | want to
find the best man for the office; the
man who is most acceptable to the
rank and file of the Republican party
and the Independent voters. / intend
to do everything in my power to see
that such man is elected"
Colonel Roosevelt's indication of his
position, made less than an hour after
the departure for New York of Gov
ernor Hughes, is taken as a significant
sidelight on the conference between
the governor and the colonel. While
both men refused to disclose the pre-
else subject matter of their conference
1t is believed from the coloneFs atti-
tude that it was decided that Mr..
Roosevelt would take an active person.
al part in the nomination of candi-
date for governor
Enjoyed Governors Visit.
Colonel Roosevelt was smiling con-
tentedly when he was seen shortly
after Governor Hughes departure.
Il had a delightful visit with Gov
ernor Hughes" said he. I'VE had a
most interesting talk"
did you talk politics with him?" he
was asked.
The question seemed to amuse him.
of course we talked of political
conditions" he replied What else
could we talk about? We discussed
WHICH we nave Do6n anxious TO
talk of for long time"
That was all he was willing to say
as to the conference. The next uues-
tion was whether he had anything to
say about the visit of Clifford Pinchot,
Marshal Stimson of California and
Francis J. Heney, the San Francisco
graft prosecutor, to him in New York.
Mr.. Stimson told him about political
conditions in California and imme-
diately after his talk announced that
Mr. Pinchot would leave at once for
California to take the stump for Hi
ram Johnson, insurgent candidate for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor.
Avoids Answering Questions.
did Mr. Stimson come with Mr..
Pinchot?" Mr.. Roosevelt was asked.
Il thought he came with Mr.. Heney,
because he is an old Harvard man."
"But after Mr.. Stimson saw you he
said that Mr.. Pinchot was to speak
for the insurgents in California" was
suggested.
Aren't you telling me news?" asked
the colonel with another smile.
He was asked if he thought har-
mony in the party of the state was to
be expected during the campaign and
replied that he thought there would
be no difficulty on that score He said
he was confident all relations would
be harmonious.
Then the colonel stated his views
as to the candidate for governor. He
refused positively to talk of various
men who have been mentioned as can
didates.

port of New York, was not taken up

The dirigible Erbsloeh belonged to

The Erbsloeh consisted of twelve

The car contained two gasoline en-

The Erbsloeh had made several sat

The dirigible went aloft early in the

possible to learn just what caused the
fatal accident The disaster in all it's
details resembled the one which be-
fell the French army dirigible a few
weeks ago
Balloonists are divided as to the
probable cause OF the accident. Some
believe the suns rays expended the
gas in the balloon until they could no
longer stand the strain, while others
believe one of the 125 horsepower gas
oline motors exploded.
Well Known in United States,
Herr Oscar Erbsloeh, the aviator,
was we'll known in the United States.
having piloted the German balloon,
Pommern, in the international balloon
races held in st. Louis in 1907 The
Pommern rose in st. Louis and land
ed in New Jersey, coming down only
because the ocean had been reached.
In this flight Erbsloeh won the James
Gordon Bennett cup, the first prize.
In February, 1909, Erbsloeh, with
three companions, made a daring flight
across the Alps, rising from st. Moritz
and remaining in the air thirty-three
hours, landing near Budapest. The
aeronoid in the Pommern on this trip
showed that at one time the balloon
had reached height of 10000 feet
nearly four miles.
The Erbsloeh, in which the aviator
met death, had a capacity of 2,90G
cubic meters of hydrogen gas When
Erbsloeh and his companions rose be-
fore the sun had come out, it was
noted that the gas bags were com
pletely full. II is therefore highly
probable that the heat of the sun, ex-
panding the gas, caused too great a
strain on the bags, which exploded
