wife we're entertained tonight by Gov

Mr.. and Mrs McCombs will remain here
Until tomorrow afternoon II IS under
stood that the national chairman comes
as the personal representative OF the
President 10 talk over with Governor
Giynn the appointments which Glynn
will make In the next few weeks.
Governor Glynn. while refusing TO dis
cuss the visit. did not deny that such was
its purpose when called upon by Inc
Tribune correspondent The conference
was evidently intended 10 be a secret one
FOR the Governor expressed surprise that
The Tribune knew Of It,
Where did Your paper learn about
this" he asked.
Not IN years has any Governor been
called upon 70 iii so many big state jobs
as Glynn. The Governors trouble I'm get
ting men that suit him for these places
has led many 10 believe that 10 would
surrender finally TO the opportunities of
Tammany Hall. which has been bringing
pressure TO bear on him 10 get some OF
the plums at his disposal. To-nights con-
ference, however is an indication that IN
stead OF Tammany ne will turn to Presl-
cent Wilson for advice.
There has been considerable talk OF a
Wilson-Glynn- Mitchell combination TO
starve out Tammany on patronage. 1t
started with the effort OF Governor Glyhh
10 see the President when he was I'D
WASHINGTON 10 attend the waterways CON
ference early in December Al that time
the President was ill and could not see
Governor Glynn, and so far as is known
to-nicht's conference j. the first time that
any emissary Of the President has called
,,pon the Governor since. The Governor
u,o,,ld not discuss the negotiations which
brought about the meeting, but IL is I'M
Gerstood that he took the initiative.
Some of the larger places which Gov
ernor Glynn must fill soon are Public ser
vice commemorative TO succeed Frank
W Stevens. resigned. Curtis y. Douglas,
a hold-over incumbent. Martin :. Decker
and john H. Eustis. whose terms expire
in February. all Of the I'd District com
mission except Eustis; State Health Com
missioner. for which the Governor has en-
deavored 10 get Dr.. Hermann NJ. Biggs. OF
New York: Conservation Commissioner,
state Hospital Commissioner, Superln-
tendent Of Weights and Measures, two
Judges Of the Court Of Appeals, Supreme
court Justice 10 succeed Justice Gerard
Of New York. Superintendent of Banks 10
succeed George Van Tuyl. whose term
expires in May; five members Of the State
Insurance Fund Commission. under tbs
workmen's compensation act and State
Excise Commissioner.
There are many other small places &c
he filled Since Governor Glynn took ur
the duties Of Chief Executive he has filled
,nlv one important place-that OF STATE
Labor Commissioner. 10 which he ap-
pointed James VI. Lynch.
Tammany Hall has received severa
minor Jobs, and The Governor has always
considered the representatives of that or
Eanization in looking for men to fill the
olaces.
4 small army Of Tammanyites came tc
Albany this week, with the converting Of
the Legislature. but they got little salts

which they left here in the last few days
