HERRICK FOR SENATE
IS A NEW SUGGESTION
Two Platforms Prepared
Report That T. R. Won't
Aid Hennessy.

Ole OF ugly manifestation Is discernible
beneath the surface of Democratic politics
a. viewed here on the eve OF the platform
committee meetings which will precsde
Wednesdays state conference. There Is
only a slim chance that tho conference
will see the outburst which thermometers
are working hard to prevent but that
chance Ia worrying the peacemakers and
enticing lovers OF trouble.
John A. Hennessy's crusade aSainst
rammany and the suspicion that he 10

tain party figures in his own peculiar
way, tho tentative Hearst candidacy Tor
.ns s.nste. President Wilson's seeming
ooidness toward Gov. Giynn and his re-
h,otance to accept william Church Osborn
and william r. McCombs as political ad-
visers in this State, platform CONNECT
between Tammany and tho independents
these are some OF the disturbing eie-
nents bothering those Democrats who de-
sire to have the brethren dwell together
IN unity for this week at least
Although Gov. Glynn, whose primary
cs,,tions were sent out last Thursday
has nearly 5000 signatures. there is re-
curling talk OF william r. McCombs run
ming for Governor. Tho pressure along
mi. line ia coming mostly from outside

see IN New York a good opportunity OF
smoking the President OUT II MT Nc
Combs. chairman OF the National Com
mittee. and "the man who made Pres,-
dent wilson" runs for Governor hero
For their own purposes they would ike to
have II recorded that Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo either Is or 10 not the
man who passes on the fitness or candi-
dates for Federal office in this State.
IA Mr. McCombs had not arrived here at
II O'Clock his own inclinations az 20 can
didates cannot be revealed
Whether or not the storm cloud will
break in Saratoga depends on the decision
OF the conference as TO permitting dis
cuesion of candidates. The plan OF In
Producing a general resolution sanction
ing such discussion has been abandoned
because the independents feel sure II
would he squelched
Instead they purpose to make several
motions naming candidates individually
They will start with one asking the con-
vention to indorse the administration OF
Gov C;lynn and asking him 10 sub
init his nane TO the primary voters for
denomination.
1t is argued that Tammany. although
wishing to avoid talk OF candidates In
Aar SAft. IN
approve such resolution as this. And
n Gov. Glynn Ia approved In this
way the independents are ready to use
ehe Endorsement as an entering wedge and
20 have other candidates oomplimented by
tho same method.
Herrfck Suggested for Senator.
A now suggestion--D-Cady Herrick OF
Albany for United States Senator-was
heard tonight. with II came tho prophecy
that q considerable movement In Judge
Herrtcks behalf would appear at or soon
after tho conference. His friends figure
that II put on tho ticket ne would be Of
great assistance TO Gov. Glynn In Albany
county. where help IL needed. and that
Mr. Herrtck might also draw strength
from the mock OF william Sulysr. whom
Ae Attended in tho impeachment trial.
Mr. Herr,ck Is n Saratoga bearing his
y>Ars and his old fashioned dignity equal
IL we'll. He smiled and said he hadn',
heard this Senatorship talk when he
wa asked about II, and would need time
70 think over any suggestion OF that sort
II 10 certain that two platform draftl

prepared under the guidance OF Lieut.
GOV Robert +. Wagner and Is supposed
