WADSWORTH AND
WHITMAN LEAD IT
State Leader Says All Kinds OF
Groupings Upstate Are Due
to Primary Law.

Word was brought from upstate yes
terday by man who has been visltihg
the Repbican organizations that there
is being circulated a slate for the state
Offices and United States Senator
which is said TO contain the selections
of William Barnes. The statement was
that this slate was on slips OF paper on
which the names had been placed win
q mimeograph and the understanding
was that they had come from Albany.
The list was headed by James W.
Wadsworth. jr., for United States Sena-
tor and Charles S. Whitman for Gov
ernor. The selections for the other OF
fees we're: Lieutenant Governor, Frank
S. Subway, Buffalo; Secretary of state
W. D. Cunningham, Ulster; Controller
Eugene VI. Travis, Kings; Attorney
General, Egbcrt +. Woodbury., Chau-
taudua; Treasurer, James l.. Wells
The Bronx; Engineer and Surveyor
Frank NJ. Williams, Orange; Associate
Judge of the Court Of Appeals. Justice
Emory A. Chase, Greene.
Although there is no slate for New
York County, the leaders have talked the
matter over among themselves and, IN
some important particulars, the candl..
dates that will receive the support OF
most of them are different from those
on the so-called Barnes slate. To start
with, Representative William VI. Calder
is the choice of New York County for
the Senate. The leaders lean to Ed
ward Schoeneck, Of Onondaga. instead
of Mr.. Subway for Lieutenant Governor.
For Secretary of State their preference
seems TO be Francis NJ. Hugo, Of Wa
tertown; for Controller, Samuel Stras-
bourger. Of this county. and for Attor--
ney General, Edward r. OMalley, Of
Buffalo, instead Of Mr.. Woodbury..
There is to be a meeting Of the New
York County executive committee this
afternoon. At that time it is not un-
likely that there will be some informal
talk of the various candidates. for
places on the state ticket. When Chair
man Barnes was asked yesterday
whether he had any slate. he laughed
and contented himself with the gen
eral statement:
"As far as ! can judge from what
have heard from various parts of the
state, there are all kinds Of groupings
and combinations natural result OF
the direct primary law. Each county
seems to have its favorites in com
binaton. The number Of combinations
must be legion"
81 notice that my friend. Judge
Hedges says that Mr.. (Lemuel E.
Quigg is running Mr.. Whitman's cam
paign," said Frederick c. Tanner, last
night. "That is not true. am run
ming Mr.. Whitman's campaign, and
Mr.. Hedges knows il. ! never met Mr..
Quigg in my life, nor have I had any
communication of any sort with him,
directly or indirectly"
Mr.. Whitman personally made a
similar denial, saying that Mr.. Quigg
had nothing 20 do with his campaign,
directly or indirectly.
In reply to arguments that if he ran
for Governor it would throw the Dis
trict Attorneys Office into the hands
Of the Democrats, Mr. Whitman said
that, if nominated and elected, he
would not resign as District Attorney
until he took up his duties as Gov
ernor. That would mean that he would
have the opportunity Of selecting his
