IN take over the direction ~ the party
in the state, and this without consultation
or leave Of the recognized leaders.
Only to-day word was brought to city
members that Mr.. McAdoo planned to
make Franklin -. Roosevelt candidate
for Governor. while Gov. Glynn was to he
pushed forward as a candidate for the
Senate. This Information is said to have
come direct from Appraiser Sague.
II is pointed out by New York Demo-
Gratis that most Of the desirable offices in
New York are still held by Republicans
and that Republicans hold the offices Of
United states Attorney and United States
Marshal Complaint Is made that when
the Pr sident named n Naval Officer of the
Port OF New York he selected Otto witt

Poughkeepsie and chose Mr.. Sague for the
office Of Appraiser.
Organization men in Brooklyn are bitter

So far as patronage Is concerned II il
believed that Mr.. Wilson, when he receives
the twenty members from New York. will
try to lay down rule governing the
lection of Federal officers In the city and
state. This will be done in an effort to
Gppease the organization men.
II was said tonight that the President
would tell Mr.. Fitzgerald and his col

regardless Of the fractional Affiliations OF
the candidates proposed In this conneC-
ton 1t was said that Thomas +. Rush,
Tammdny leader OF the Nineteenth dis
trict, Is slated for appointment FOR Sur

This would be an answer to the charge
that Tammany men have been turned down
solely because they acknowledge fealty to
the city organization. Politicians here eX

The Presidents friends contend that he

II is understood that Mr.. McCombs in
his talks with the President to-day ex-
pressed the opinion that Gov Glynn would
be renomnated no matter what the
attitude Of the Washington Administration
might be. II is believed that Mr.. Me-
Combs urged the President strongly
against taking an active part in the New
YORK night at present and the President
probably will follow that course.
The bitterness that has been aroused
among New York Representatives in
Congress against Mr. McAdoo over pat
ronage matters was evidenced to-day on
the floor Of the House. Representative
Good OF Iowa, a Republican, charged
that Secretary McAdoo was using the
revenue cutters for JOY riding In viola
ton ~ the law and iutmated that Mr..
Fitzgerald in attempting to defend him
was seeking to curry favor for the pur-
pose Of getting better treatment In pat
ronago. Mr. Fitzgerald replied that he
had received no patronage from the Adj
m'uistration and had no hopes on this
score for the future.
