NEW YORK. July 10-(Special Tele-
gram. .)-JJp to the present time nine men
are actually in the race for the democratic
nomination for governor of New York, or
their friends are urging their fitness Tor
the place. They are:
Thomas w. Osborne, Auburn; Herman
Ridder of this city, Congressman William
Sulzer, Carey l., Ely Buffalo,; Justice
Martin j. Keogh, Worchester; Martin w.
Llttleton Congressman James H. Havens,
Rochester; former Comptroller Herman A
Metz and Mayor w j. Gaynor
In addition to these the name of William
r. Hearst is mentioned in connection with
the honor. AS to Mayor Gaynor, who, al
though named as last in the list is doubt
less first as regards the interest taken to
possibility of his candidacy, the opinion
of the political sharps seems to be that
he has no eye for the governorship and no
desire now but to be mayor and carry out
his ideas about the proper administration
of government in this city.
Gives silent Consent.
The mayor has expressed an entire lack
of interest in reports of movements TO
make him governor, and has several times
denied that his authorization has been
given to such activities. 1t is not likely
that he will take the trouble to make
many such denials, but rather that he will
go on In silence as to things political-a
silence that should not be taken as mean
ing consent to the use OF his name.
There is much talk of Thomas w. Os-
borne as an available candidate, typifying
the old-style democrat, and standing for
higher ideals and harmony. Mr.. Osborne
is head of the Democratic State league,
which organization expects to have a
strong influence in democratic councils
this year 1t Is said, however. that oppo-
sltion to his candidacy is being stirred in
his own section of the state, II being argued
against him that. he has not been a regular
supporter of democratic candidates In the
past. y, 'ls =, ssHs-tfsa
Congressman suizer, II Is reported, will
open headquarters here, probably at the
Hotel Knickerbocker, some time next week
He has enthusiastic supporters who hope to
impress Tammany with the evidence Of his
popularity.
ELY wOuId Get There.
| 1t is said that a considerable movement
| for w. Carrie Ely is under way in the west
ern part of the state. Ely is a prominent
business man OF Buffalo, who has beer
mentioned in previous gubernatorial years
Mr.. Ridder is regarded in many quar-.
ters as having elements of strength thai
would make him good vote getter this
year.
Judge Koogh has been said fer months
past to be the candidate who would have
the support Of Tammany
| BY not few it is believed there will
be lively boom for Martin w. Little
ton a few weeks before convention time
1t is also rumored that Mr.. Metz return
from Europe will be the signal for severa
functions that will be the means Of launch
ing and accelerating a boom for him.
James H. Havens, the Rochester lawye
who defeated George W. Aldridge for con
gress at the election last winter, is re
garded as a possible candidate.
