sr1ora & stsf Correspondent OF The Tribune
Peverlv. Mass, Sept. 11.-That Henry
7 stirlson, Secretary OF War, will he
temporary chairman OF the New York
state Republican Convention. and in
that capacity will sound the party key
note. Is the impression gathered from
The Presidents correspondents.
Secretary Stimson is anxious 10 take
an active part in the campaign for the
,s.,lection Of the President, and may
h. drafted to play somewhat impor-
,ant part in New York state. although
,h,s should not be taken TO mean that
he is an sspirant for the nomination
for Governor. II Is, indeed. far more
nobable that he will remain part Of
he national administration.
While the indications point to Will
ian Barnes. jr., favoring the nomina-
tion Of James Wadsworth, jr., and while
Secretary Kocnis is understood to ad-
vocate the nomination of Mr.. Stimson.
Il In believed more probable that the
choice of the convention for Governor
viii be Nicholas Murray Butler, whose
friends have been quietly urging him
for the place as the most available man
who has thus far been suggested
All Efforts 10 induce the President TO
take q hand in the selection of can
SIdate for Governor have proved un-
syairng, and both he and Chairman
Hilies are Of one mind on the subject
believing the choice of = candidate
should be left entirely TO the dele

Gratifying to President.
President Taft told some OF his
friends to-day that he was especially
srstifed by the exceptionally cordial
reception he had at Worcester last
Saturday. The local papers estimate
the crowd which greeted Mr.. Taft
when he made his short stop in
Worcester at from $4,000 TO 10000,
The Worcester Telegram placing tho
humber at 10000. The President is
disposed to make a more conservative
estimate, but ne is confident there were
n least 10000 persons gathered 70 re-
reive him
