politics Saturday and Sunday by way OF
! diversion He Joined the Waldorf roof
Earden coterie Of wise men from many

| without further investigation. He was
| eloquent enough in supplementing his
first statements about the distress i'm

resenting the compact aggregation Of
districts in Jersey less than fifty miles
from dear old Broadway.
After a formal report is made TO Re-

Some Outside Inducements.
Possibly some OF the local leaders may
resent the efforts OF outside Republican
wise men. but once the intimation is
given that nomination approved by finan-
cial New York and political Washington
will be aided greatly with kopecks, elo-
quence. and velvet-heeled endeavor even

sidence Of resentment and care taken TO
ask where the shekel supply stations can
be found once there Is need OF real
business methods in the righteous work
OF insuring a majority OF Republicans In
the next delegation.
But the Jersey situation was passed
over in the eagerness OF the phiianthro-
pist and his compatriots from many
States to get a line on New York and the
prospect Of doubling the Republican rep
Iesentation in Congress. Care was taken
not TO predict by districts or even to
give figures, but there was wholesome
expression Of confidence in the ultimate
outcome, especially upstate, and without
overlooking several Long Island and
