SARATOGA. N Y. Aug. 2o.-Will!am
Barnes returned to Albany to-day highly
pleased with most OF the achietements
OF the Republican State convention.
II think II has been demonstrated" he
said. that Col. Roosevelt did not con-
trol the convention. II seems to me, IN
the light OF the events OF the past few
days. that Hinman is hopelessly beaten
unless some combination Is formed sue
cessfully to fight whitman. know Of
no such combination, although I hear
that some persons contemplate one. I
still think that Whitman Is In the lead,
but who will be nominated in tho pri-
maries-well. let the voters decide"
Mr.. Barnes was somewhat distressed
because yesterdays vote whereby the
convention stood pat on the committee
OF 43's selection OF constitutional delegate
candidates had been interpreted as de-
feat for him He has told his friends that
the attempt to make changes in the New
York city slate was engineered by Sem
ator Eon X. Brown, not by him. Sem
ator Brown says so too.
II Is understood that William d Guth-
rie. who was rejected as one OF the can
didates for delegate at large. will be
elected district delegate 10 the constl-
tutlonai convention.
Mr.. Barnes had been told that County
Chairman Koenig. Ogden L. Mills and
Henry L. Stimson OF New York are not

MONEY ORDER LIMIT
KEEPS MILLION HERE
Big Falling OFF in Flow Of
Money Abroad Since 500
Rule Went Into Effect.

Figures compiled by the Post OfIice
Department here yesterday show that
II, 100000 has been kept in this country
since August l because OF the post office
rule making II impossible TO buy foreign
postal money orders in amounts of over
800 for any one person. Joseph Elliott,
superintendent of the money order and
postal savings department. said that
thousands Of money orders are being re-
jected daily because the amounts are too
large.
There were received In the New York
office yesterday for certifoation abroad d
6.d7o money orders from all parts of the
United S,'tes. Before the EUROPEAN war
broke cut the number Of money orders
received here exceeded $4,000 daily. This
enforced decrease IN the money order
business will keep up until the foreign
exchange market clears and lower rates
can be quoted. according to Mr. Elliott
TIE following figures were quoted as the
money order receipts In Manhattan for
the day Domestic, paid. s1s2.20f.1S; in
ternationai, paid, s1,2eo,23; domestic is
sued, s3,s7sSs; International issued,
$6.072.69.
on the other hand the postal savings
bank system has received tremendou
impetus. due partly to the war situa ton
and partly to the enforced closing OF n
number Of private banks containing the
deposits of foreigners,
Mr.. Elliott said some banks and COM
mercial houses were trying to evade the
Government rule limiting money orders.
one bank bought $500 worth OF money
orders In small amounts from the sta
tons throughout the city. When the slips
came In to the main once the ruse was
discovered and the bank was forced TO go
around to the different Offices to get its
money back.
Every one seems to think" said Mr..
Elliott, that the Government can af
ford to sell money orders at low rates
| and suffer the heavy loss entailed by the
| rates OF exchange charged abroad"
