woodruff Greatly Surprised

New York, April &.-Tim l.. Woodruff,
republican state chairman, was taken en-
tirely by surprise when he heard of the
acceptance of Governor Hughes of a place
in the supreme court. When the first
news of the governors action was read
over the telephone to Mr.. Woodruff, he
said:
You don't believe that, do you?'
On being assured that the news was au-
thoritative, he said:
II am very much interested and very
much surprised. 1 have known, of course,
that the governor was considering the
offer, but doubted that he would ac-
cept it."
How do you think this action will af-
feet the situation in the republican party
in the state?''
II am not prepared to say"
Mr. Woodruff added: 'The governors
decision is so contrary to my expecta-
lions that / never even had given con-
sideration as to what would happen il
he were eliminated from the field of poll
tics and public AFFAIRS"
Lloyd c. Griscom, president of the re-
publican county committee of New York
county, and close friend of Governor
Hughes, was keenly surprised at the an
nouncement of Governor Hughes ac-
ton.
but the acceptance of the justiceship
by Mr.. Hughes" said he, lis in keeping
with the high sense of duty which has
actuated the man during his entire life,
both public and private.
Governor Hughes, as is we'll known
is a poor man and can i'll afford to sur
render the possibilities in the way of
financial betterment which private prac-
tice of the law offered him. In two or
three years of private practice he could
have amassed a fortune. That he has
elected not TO do so reflects great credit
upon his public-spiritedness
1T is one Of the finest examples of
self-sacritice which this age of COM
mercialism has witnessed. What the SUI
preme tribunal of the nation gains the
republican party OF New York state loses
His influence in politics was a most
wholesome one. and his removal from
that field will be regretted by the friends
of good government throughout the coun-
try His passing from the political arena
marks the effacement of the most con-
spicuous presidential possibility which
New York had furnished to the repub-
lican party"
