tary of the Navy. Clifton Ryan ana

members OF the Democratic State Com
mittcc OF New York from ChcnanSo ana
Cayuga counties, respectively After the
visit of this delegation President Wilson
sent for Senator O'Gorman and talked
over the matter with him, but tho out
come of the Wrangle has not yet deVel-
oped.
President Wilson listened attcntively to
the representations Of Messrs. Brown
Roosevelt. Ryan and Rattigan, but was
non-committal. giving them
no linking OF his thoughts. II is believed
however. that Tammany Will not share
TO any great extent, i'm the patronage
President Wilson's idea being that Tam
many il essentially a local organization
and worthy OF no more consideration
than less powerful local organizations. II
is urged that, as Governor Sulzcr was
informed he must pay his political debts
with state patronage. Boss Murphy VIII
likewise be told to feed his political debt
ofs with municipal pie.
John II. Gleason. OF Albany. who is a
candidate for United States Attorney for
the Northern District Of New York, was

not mean that Mr.. Gleason has the oN-
elusive backing of the Senator from New

ceivcd some time ago Of presenting scv-
eral candidates FOR each place Tor the
