Albany Feb. 4.-The conference OF Re-

so whom, was postponed from this after
noon TO next Tuesday evening While
thers are two or three elements among
the Republicans now contending vigorous
" for their candidates. II is entirely prob

been adjusted so that only one name is
presented to the conference.
r. This postponement dfspleased some of the
more radical Republicans, who saw in IL

porarv president should be elected unti
the Aids case is settled. Apparently TINS
consideration had little to do with the post

largely because several Senators wished

Friends of Senator George Cobb, OF
Watertown, are pressing his candidacy
vigorously, but apparently the sentiment
is almost unanimous, with this exception,
for Senator Davis. of Buffalo. Most of the
men who voted against Aids in January
are now for Davis, although Cobb would
be acceptable to them Mr. Davis has the
advantages of seniority and of high com

Rules Committee and thus acting leader
So his elevation TO the leadership is en-
tirely logical. He is regarded as unfettered
by any connection with the Republican
organization such as other Senate leaders
have had. Frederick Greiner, his political
chief. is virtually a Hughes man. Still,
Davis now has the active support of men
who voted for Aids on all counts, and
therefore is. distinctly the leading candi-

only man considered. unless dark horse"

candid statement yesterday touching on
the methods in vogue in connection with

that more dismissals would follow, and

TWO ACCIDENTS ON

Portland, Ore, July 2S.-As she

tow of two river steamers late yester-
day the British steamer Riverdale
bound for Tsingtau, with almost g.
10000 feet of lumber, struck the sub
merged stump of the old Madison
street bridge draw pier and remains
hard and fast. Examination by
diver did not disclose whether any
of the Diverdale's plates are sprung.
II IS expected that she will be floated
tomorrow after about 500 tons of her
deckload is removed. The old bridge
was removed a few months ago to
make room for a new bridge and it
was understood that the pier of the
old bridge had been cut off at suffici-
ent depth to prevent accident such
as this. Earlier in the day the tank
steamer Rosecrans, as she was enter
ing the Willamette river, "sideswiped"

placed in drydock for repairs, but the

Oyster Bay. July 2S.-Those who
heard Theodore Roosevelt talk At
Sycamore Hill yesterday afternoon
came away with a sharply defined
shadow of what his attitude will be
in state and national politics. Pri-
marly he wishes TO be in the back
ground in the campaign for he feels
that by taking too prominent a part
in it he may be accused of assuming
dictatorship
Broadly speaking, he will, as he has
said on several occasions, do all in hts
power to help the men who stood by
him in his policies but is noncommit-
tai as to whether ne expects to carry
his policy to the point of coming out
openly in favor of the republicans all
over the country whom he considers
to be standing for his ideas. He does
say, however, that he must forget
factional differences and even party
lines and support the men and things
he believes stand for the best inter-
