NEW YORK. July 9.-Up to the present
time there are Just nine gentlemen who
are either actually in the race for the
Democratic nomination FOR governor of
New York or their friends are urging
their fitness for the place. They are
Thomas w. Osborne Auburn, Herman
Riddcr OF this city, Congressman Will
liam Sulzer. Cary w. Ely OF Buffalo. JUS
,ice Martin w. Keogh of Westchester.
Martin w. Littleton. Congressman Havens
Of Rochester, former Comptroller Herman
A. Metz and Mayor w. ]. Gaynor
In addition to these. the name of Will
liam r. Hearst is mentioned in connec-
tion with the honor, AS TO Mayor
Gaynor who. although named last In the
above list, Is doubtless first in regard
to interest taken In the probability of his
candidacy the opinion of the political
sharps seems 10 be that he has no eye
for the governorshlp and no desire now
but to be mayor and carry out his IDEAS
about the proper administration OF gov
ernment in this city.
Gaynor Indifferent.
The mayor expressed entire lack Of In
terest in reports of movements to make
him governor and has several times de-
MED that his authorization has been given
out to such activities. 1t Is not likely
that he will take the trouble TO make
many such denals. but rather that he
will go on In silence as TO things po-
litical-a silence that should not be taken
as meaning consent to use his name.
There Is much talk OF Thomas NJ. Os-
borne as an available candidate, tyPifying
the old-style Democrat and standing for
his higher ideals and harmony. Mr.,
Osborne Is the head OF the Democratic
State league, which organization expects
10 have q strong influence In Democratic
councils this year. IT Is said, however.
that opposition to his candidacy is be-
ing stirred In his own section OF the
state, 1t being argued against him that
he has not been regular supporter OF
Democratic candidates in the past
Sulzer Gets Busy.
Congressman Sulzer, it is reported. will
open headquarters herc-probably at the
Hotel observation-disclosures time next
week. He has enthusiastic supporters
who hope TO impress Tammany with evil
dences OF his popularity. 1t is said that
Cary w. Ely of Buffalo is under way in
the western part of the state, Mr.. Ely
Is prominent business man OF Buffalo
who has been mentioned In previous gu.
bernatorial years.
Mr., Ridder Is regarded in many quar-
ters as having elements OF strength thai
would make him good vote gctter and
| governor
Judge Keogh has been said for months
past to be the candidate who would have
| the support OF Tammany hall By not 6
few 1t is believed there Will be a lively
| boom for Martin w. Littleton a few
weeks before convention time.
1t is also rumored that Mr.. Metz's re-
| turn from Europe would be the sigma
| for several functions that will be the
means of launching and accelerating {
boom for him
James ii, Havcns the Rochester law
