BARNES NOT SURE HE'LL
CONTINUE AS CHAIRMAN
Says New Law Changes Election
and, Anyway, Duties VIII
Be Different.

William Barnes. Jr.. docs not know
whether or not he will want to succeed
himself as State chairman this fall
THE EVENING SUN put the question to
him editorially yesterday, and Mr.. Barnes
dictated this reply
The office OF State committeeman. as
we'll as that Of chairman OF the State
committee. Is now statutory orice.
Members of all State committees will be
chosen on September rs by Assembly
districts enlarging the committees to
100 IN number. The chairman will have
certain duties.s though loosely defined by
the election law.
st seems to me that because OF this
departure on the part OF the State the
office OF chairman OF the committee VIII
take on a different aspect in the future
from what II has been in the past. and
especially IN the Republican party. In
the Republican party the chairnanship has
carried with II underlined qualities which
I cannot see will adhere In the statutory
position. From II came Edwin ID. Nor
gan the war Governor of New York
Alonxo b. Cornell and Benjamin b. Odell.
Jr.. also became Governors. Chester 4.
Arthur resigned the Craftsmanship OF THO
state committee to become President upon
the death Of President Garfield, am
inclined to think that In the future the
| Office will come TO resemble what Ia known
as the agent In a British Parliamentary
| election.
| There is no question at the present
| time that there are no defined functions
for the office except such as the chairman
of the state committee himself may make

HAS ANOTHER CLUE ALSO

FRErroEr. l.. l.. July ?0--Distiict At
torncy smith began to investigate yester-
day a report that Dr. Edwin Carman. the
husband Of Mrs. Florence Carman, who Is
under Indictment for having caused the
death OF Mrs. Louise Bailey, has an ad-
dress in New York where he receives mail.
The District Attorneys Information Is
to the effect that Dr. CariNan instructed
the postmaster at Freeport some time pre-
yious T. the shooting OF Mrs. Bailey to
forward all of his mali bearing certain
Identification mark to this address.
The postmaster here, following the pos
tai laws declines to give the District AT
tcrney the address Or Carman was SAID
30 have used unless permission IL given
hy the Post Office Department In Wash
,ngton. SO Mr. Smith has written the
TJstmaster-Gcnera asking that this In
formation be furnished him.
The District Attorneys understanding is
that the address was OF an apartment II
Manhattan hut he does not know whether
the apartment was rented by friend o.
Dr. Carman or was one used by the doctor
himself It is not unlikely either that tn
address will prove to be that of some hote
where Dr. Carman was In the haot o
stopping when in the city.
In connection with this newest clue II
Freeport's murder mystery II Is conslu
cred significant by the District Attorney
office that Mrs. Carman had been In New
York on the day OF the shooting. Afte
Mrs Bailey was killed Mrs. Carman sat
that she had gone to New York 10 sho
and ut the Coroner's inquest she men
toned the addresses at which she ma
called All of them were women's shops
Eut despite Mrs. Carman's testimon
10 this effect and to the effect that sh
had never seen or heard OF Mrs. Bailey
the District Attorney It is well know
pas had information in his hands FOR IN
last few days that Mrs. Bailey was niue
better known to both DR. and Mrs. Car

Mr.. Osborn was asked whether or not
he had heard much talk about mis-
management and graft in state depart

THE people have come to the conclusion
that there isn't much in it," he replied.
"but I was told that II might be revived
for political purposes | told the up
state men that II any questions OF this
