Sherman, as stated above. Saratoga
County, they declare emphatlcaiiI'
should be considered as doubtful Win
the chances largely that II VIII De LoI
Roosevelt Senator Bracket, VINO con-
trolls there, Is considered mucn OF an OPP
portunist, and the Progressives expect
him to climb on the band wagon
The entire delegation from Orange
County. consisting of seventeen votes, Is
counted for Roosevelt. according TO the
Progressives They also claim tnat they
viii get some of the eight delegates Oh
Borough President Cromwell In Ricn-
mond, and are also counting on getting
at least sixty instead of only forty votes
in Kings County.
Effect OF Shern1an's Defest.
AS a matter of fact, the Progressives
believe that the defeat of Vice-President
Sherman In his own district and the
capture of the Schenectady delegation
from Mr.. Barnes will have a great moral
effect, resulting in still further defec-
tions from the "old guard" ranks
I'VE really showed what we could do
where we really made fight at the pri-
maries.'' said one of the Progressive
leaders. What we did in the Sherman
district we might have done IN Monroe
and in other districts if there had been
time to organize real fight"
On the other hand, the ''old guard do
not yet publicly concede that Roosevelt
will get some of the delegates credited
to him in the above table. They
claim all of the nine delegates in Allie
gany,S for instance, and the seven del
egates IN Chenango.
They do not admit that Roosevelt will
get any of the six delegates in Essex.
and claim the entire delegations in Or
leans and Niagara. They also claim the
entire delegations in Ulster and Yates,
and declare that Roosevelt will not have
more than thirty-five Of the delegates in
Kings County. They also claim Tioga
because of the fact that Assemblyman
Howard, an "o1d guardsman.' has been
renominated.
Delegates in Cayuga are to be elected
to-day, those in Niagara tomorrow, and
the Broome and Rockland county con-
ventions are to be held on Saturday.
Barnes Breaks the News.
When William Barnes, jr., used the
long distance telephone from Albany
yesterday TO break the news about
Schenectady gently TO State Chairman
Woodruff it is understood that some in
Nv
Woodruff expressed surprise, whereuUon
Mr.. Barnes is said to have retorted that
the state chairman did not seem alto
gether successful in holding together his
own delegation.
Soon after o'clock the state chair
man started in an automobile for his
summer home at Garden City to forget
politics for the night, if possible. Soon
after he had left William L. Ward, the
''old guard leader Of Westchester,
bobbed into headquarters through the
private entrance from the Republican
Club.
He was looking for the state chair
man, but when he saw the newspaper
men he avoided them and went into con-
ference with Lafayette B. Gleason, the
secretary.
Mr.. Griscom will leave the city on his
way TO Saratoga tomorrow afternoon.
He is going UP the Hudson in the motor
boat Tarpon, owned by Earl Dodge the
same craft in which Mr.. Roosevelt had
his exciting trip across the Sound on his
way to see President Taft on Monday.
Mr. Griscom will be accompanied by
Ogden L. Mills. treasurer of the county
committee, and the party will remain
overnight at the summer home of Mr.
Mills, in Staatsburg. They start from
there for Saratoga in a motor car on
Saturday.
