Foot AFTER Another NOTipatiOn.

UTICA, July oo.-With or without the
approval of Daniel +. Strohel. the recog-
nized Republican boss Of Herkmer county,
il was asserted to-day that Theodore
Douglas Robinson. nephew of eX-Presi-
dent Roosevelt. intends TO have the Re-
publican nomination for member of
Assembly from Herkimcr county this
year. No effort is being spared by young
Robinson to awaken interest in his candi-
dacy and each day finds him racing about

the acquaintance Of voters.
Ii il reported that Boss Strohel has
told another candidate that he is in favor
of Mr.. Robinson : candidacy. But IL il
hard to place Credence in such a report
IN view Of the conference held some time
ago. at which Strohel inquired Of Robin
son why he hadn't tried for the Assembly
nomination last year instead Of disrupt
ing the Republican organization in Herki-
mer county hy attempting TO carry off
the Congressional nomination and thus
aiding IN the defeat for reelection of cA-
Congressman Millington. now holding

On the other hand. because OrganiZa-

To stop the progress of Robinson. it would
appear that neither Strobel nor his leu
tenants are much averse TO his nomina-
ton. Insurgents who We're strong in
support of Robinsou's candidacy for
Congress- against Millington last year
are not overenthusiastc in pledGing
support to Robinson for the Assembly
nomination, saying that he has played
false in now endeavoriuE TO get within
the good graces of the "old guard" in
