been mentioned as one OF the posi-
BILE appointees. but il was not be-

completely eliminate himself for all
time from the political field. With
the appointment of Governor Hughes
is felt here that the Republican
situation in New York State is not
'larified. but rather made more COM
pick. for not only will Governor
Hughes political enemies hail his re-
tirement with much satisfaction for
the reason that with him out of the
way for all time, but with his retire
