Frawley had made no secret OF the id0'
that he had called. He indicated, now
ever, that when the time came Tor MIN
10 speak UP in public he would an
nounce the name of every man VINO
tried to bargain for Tammany.

derstood, are making every possible Ell
fort 10 dissuade him from even enter

and making a speaking tour or the
state, but the Governor is reported 10
have told them that he has no chance
in this Legislature, and that his only
chance is to go before the people direct
Suffers friends pointed out to him
to-day. when he indicated his intention
of taking this story to the people or
the state through platform tour, that
Tammany would ridicule it as direct
contradiction of previous statements
that have been allowed to go undenled.
He was told that Tammany had
seized first upon the point that the
Tammany men who had called upon
him made the explanation that they
were calling at Suffers behest, and
that II was the Governor and not ram
many. that was begging for mercy.
In addition, the Governor was IN
formed that while it was part or MS
legitimate attack and defence to cast
all possible suspicion upon and impugn
the motives Of Tammany, he should
concentrate his efforts on the problem
Of putting forth an actual refutation
Of the charge that he had taken his
campaign contribution checks to Wall

The Governor is considering all these
points. as we'll as his lawyers hos
tilty toward any public speaking tour
idea. but he believes now that some
such appeal 10 the people" is his best
chance.
