WARNING FROM SCHOHARIE
Election Result Taken as Rebuke
for Murphy.

Although the determination OF William
T. Sheehan TO remain In the Senate race
and that Of Charles +. Murphy, the Tam
many boss" to back up the aspirations
OF Mr.. Sheehan. was unchanged last night,
IT may be said that 1t was somewhat
shaken by the capitalization OF public
sentiment. as shown In the county cleo
tons in Schoharie on Tuesday. The fact
that the rock-ribbed citadel OF Democracy
upstate had gone Republican. for the first
time in more than a quarter of century.
caused the would-be Democratic leader OF
the state TO wonder whether. after all, IL
was the wise course to take In sticking 10
Mr.. Sheehan in the face of such determined
opposition.
But II was declared. on the best OF
authority. that the present intention OF Mr.
Murphy was to fight 1t out on the Sheehan
line, on the ground that It was the only
thing for him to do. unless he wished TO
surrender all ideas OF party discipline and
authority.
Montgomery Hare. the campaign man.
ager OF Edward F. Shepard, denied last
night the story from Albany that his can
didate had written a letter of withdrawal
1t is thought not unlikely, however. that
in the course of the next week Mr.. Shep-
ard may find it in his heart to retire from
what seems TO be a hopeless race. for
under no circumstances wculd Murphy
swing his votes to the Brookly n candidate
1t was reported yesterday that Murphy
had had a talk with Governor Dix or
Wednesday, but this was denied on behalf
- h. JJa
conferences. either on Wednesday or yes
terday, II was said. He spent most OF TIN
day at his rooms in the Hotel knicker
booker yesterday. seeing personal friend
and persons interested in various reforms

FEAR SHAM AMENDMENTS
Those for Highway Bill Nav Not
Make Hoped-for Changes.
COLLINS ACTION AWAITED
Republicans and Insurgents In
tend to See Bill in Proper
Shape Before Reporting It.
fBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.

Albany. Feb. 23-The expected amend
rnents To Governor Dix's bill abolishinc the
present Highway Commission. which were
expected TO "de-Tanmanyize" the proposed
new commission. were not adopted to-day.
A postponed joint session OF the Senate and
Assembly committees on Internal Affairs
was held, hut word came that Professor
Collin. the Governors busy bll-drafter-in-
extraordinary. had not been able to get the
amendments into shape. so the committees
dispersed. They now expect the amend
ments on Tuesday. properly authenticated.
with the approval Of the Executive, who
never. never. never interferes with legisla
tion.
II had been supposed that these amend
ments would take all power over plans and
epecifcatons for good roads work from
the State Engineer, and would place IL In
the hands of the proposed Superintendent
Of Highways and his engineering staff.
Adversares o. the Dix scheme say they
have pretty good information. though. that
the amendments. when they make their ap-
pearance. will not do all that was hoped.
on that score The insurgent Democrats
who first forced Governor Dix into the
position of accepting these amendments are
keeping careful watch The insurgent Demo-
Gratis and Republicans together control the
Assembly Committee, and intend TO see
that the bill is in proper shape before ac-
tion is taken on it. II the amendments
which come from the executive chamber
do not prove satisfactory. they may be
rejected by the committee and substitute
set adopted The Republicans. Of course.
are against the entire bill The insurgent
Democrats are determined that there shall
not be any Tammanyization OF the good
roads work even IL the bill never passes.
Meanwhile. widespread demand has
gone up from automobile people and
grangers for n second hearing on the meas
ure. as amended. Whether or not there is
to be that hearing will be decided after the
amendments are received In their final
form and the bill prepared With them.
Senator White, chairman of the Internal
Affairs Committee OF the upper house, says
he doesn't expect there will be one. As
semblyman Evans, chairman OF the com
mittee aor the lower house. said he was not
sure whether OF not such a hearing vas
advisable.
Assemblyman Lansing. Republican MEM
her Of the committee. SAYS ne has received
large number Of letters on the subject.
II understand. if the amendments which
have been promised actually are made
the bill will virtually he a new bill, said
he. I'm that case A hearing on II in that
form is essential. This Is big propose
tion. Wo do not believe any change IN
the present highway department should
occur. But we are determined that II
changes are n he made the bill must m
a good one and come as near To protect
ing the states interests as is possible.
