The governor lost his special car in
Syracuse Yesterday, and for a, time lost
MS suit case, but 1t was finally located
Tor him in time to permit him to catch
the Empire State express, while the spe-
clal car was sent on to New York on
later train.
.I Now Open Book.
While the governor positively refused
to make any statement for publication,
there was no question from his attitude
that the Democratic candidate was sat
isfied that his position regarding the
denomination of Governor Dix or the
naming of any reactionary candidate
was now an open book to the Demo-
cratic leaders.
When Wilson refused to have his pic
ture taken in tuxtaposition with Mur-
ply he made it rlain that he did not
intend to permit them to clam, that he
indorsed them. He followed this up
with his plal IN speech TO the county
chairman and State committeeman, in
which he warned them that the people
are tired of politics. It was generally
believed today that when the State con-
vention meets in Syracuse next month
Murphy will have the task of his life
to retain control.
Wilson will refuse to interfere, no
matter what the New York Democratic
convention does. hut it is under stood
that If reactionary ticket is named
he will refuse to recognize 1t and will
repudiate Murphy in no uncertain
terms.

not to interfere in the political tangles
of any of the States. Governor Wilson

tive discussed no politics with him.
Unaware of the program that was
outlined for the day, cognizant not until
the last moment that he was to be
thrown together with number of New

some of the days events.
The Presidential candidate declared
that he had no intimation when Invited
20 the State fair that the Democratic
State committee and Association OF
Democratic County Chairmen were to
meet in Syracuse on the same day. He
said that mad he known it he probably
would not have accepted the invitation,
because he did not wish to meddle in
the internal politics of any State. AS
it was, Governor Wilson had a diff
ficut time lodging the State political
phase of the occasion.
