CANDIDATES AWAIT
NEW YORK PRIMARY
Democrats, Republicans, Pro-
gressives, Independents and
Suizer in Field.
LINEUP MAY FORCE
ROOT TO RUN AGAIN
All Are Opposed to Boss Barnes, Ex-
cept Whitman, Hand Picked for
Governor by G. 0. P.

Action of the bull moose Convention"
at Utica yesterday in the designation
of Frederick M. Davenport as the can
didate for Governor os New York be-
fore the coming primaries, and Balm
bridge Colby for United States senator
completes the slate of aspirants for
nominations to be decided by the
voters in the primaries September 25.
The bull moose party is the only
one which will have hand picked"
candidates before the primaries. The
republican voters will be called upon
to choose among three candidates for
the gubernatorial nomnation-Charle rles
S. Whitman Harvey d. Hinman and
Job E. Hedges.
1t Is true that, in a sense, Mr.. Whit
man comes under the category of the
hand-pfcked, since he was the choice
OF the old guard leaders, but the voters
may upset Mr.. Barnes calculations
The democrats will present Gov
Glynn Tor denomination. with the sup
port of Charles F. Murphy and will
liam r. Hearst. The voters will be
given free swing as to their choice
for the senatorship. Democratic State
Chairman William Church Osborn and
Ambassador Gerard are the most prom
inently mentioned, while others will
enter later.
May Force Root to Run.
The republicans are given to under
stand that James W. Wadsworth, jr.,
is at present the leading candidate
for the senatorial nomination. Under
the surface. however. the feeling is
still strong that Senator Root, not
wfthstanding his recent declaration of
intention not to run again. may be
called upon to allow his name to be
used. in which event Mr.. Wadsworth
will probably retire.
The Independent democrats. repre-
senting the insurgent movement
against Murphy, will be asked to sup
port John A. Hennessy for the guber-
natorial nomination and Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Franklin D. Roose-
welt for the senatorial nomination.
After the primaries there may be i'm
portant changes in the lineup of the
factions, dependent upon the strength de-
veloped BY the several candidates as
shown by the primary returns Fusion
between the bull moose and Hennessy
was strongly limited yesterday in the
Utica conference tha as shown by the adop
fight on William Barnes. jr. Such a
combination might draw in the adher-
ents of Harvey D. Hinman, republican,
whose entire campaign is based upon
opposition to Barnes.
Thus when the voters go to the polls in
November to pass final judgment the sit
uation may be entirely changed from its
present status. with new lineup and
amalgamation.
Sulzer Plays Lone Hand.
William Sulzer, having been spurned
most emphatically by the bull moosers,
will play a lone hand in his contest for
nomination as governor on a ticket Of
his own. He Is catering to anybody who
is dissatisfied with the other candidates
and is even appealing to the prohibition
lists. The vote which he develops in the
primaries will determine the course of
his adherents in November, and IL he
falls short of a considerable vote his
following will probably break up and 90
