Former Is for Ambassador
Gerard for the Senatorship,
He Says.
LATTER TELLS ROOSEVELT
HE WILL WIN PRIMARY
New Workers Here Now Think Hen.
nessys Aspirations Are at
Disadvantage.

Two incidents marked yesterdays de-
yelopments in New York state politics.
One was formal announcement by Will
liam f. Hearst that he will not enter
the primaries as a candidate for the
United States senatorship. but will
throw his influence to Ambassador
Gerard. The other was a visit of Will
liam Sulzer to Col. Roosevelt and a
three-hour conference, during which
Mr.. Sul5er served notice upon the col
onel that he expects to win the pro-
gressive party's nomination for gov
ernor.
Dispatches from New York recite that
Col. Roosevelt listened to Mr.. Sulzer.
but did not pledge himself to support
him and, in fact was not requested by
Sulzer to do So Sulzer is said to
have told the colonel that he was salts
fled he would be the choice of the pro-
gressives for the subernatorial nomi-
nation.
Counting Upon the Colonel.
Inasmuch as Col. Roosevelt has pub
1icly stated that he would support who
ever the progressives nominated in
their primaries. Sulzer is said to be
state for him in case he wins, and that
is why he did not ask him to commit
himself. The committee Of twenty-one
ence in New York probably will deciue
upon another progressive to oppose
Sulzer and the choice will be decided
in the primaries.
Mr.. Hearst's announcements was tale
graphed from San Francisco. where he
mas been for several weeks 1t Is
thought that his statement was the re-
suit OF information wired him from
in conference. Charles F. Murphy was
originally in favor of Mr. Hearst for
the senatorship on a ticket with Gov.
flynn. Dispatches from Saratoga,
however. in the past two days have In
dfcated that some of the other demo-
cratic leaders are inclined to Ambas-
sador Gerard in preference.
Views of New Workers. Here.
New Workers at Washington say that
Mr.. Hearst's outspoken Endorsement of
Gov. Glynn and his frank but less
ardent declaration Of intention to sup
port the democratic national admins
tration will go far toward restoring
HNarmony IN the democratic party in
Ne" YORK state. With Tammany, Mr..
hearst and the upstate democrats in
accord, 1t was said here TODAY. that
Jonn A. Hennessy's prospective cam
palgn for the gubernatorial nomina tion
VIII De at disadvantage.
Mr. Hearst's announcement follows.
SAID before leaving New York that
! was not candidate for senator and
"ould not be. unless called upon to make
a night in the public interest, either in
oenalf OF some vital cause or in OPPOSE
ton to some evil condition.
Ihere are no circumstances that I
tivity
Ambassador Gerard is mentioned as
the candidate Of the democracy for
United States senator. I consider him an
exceedingly fine man. and l am sure he
would make admirable senator. If
he is nominated l shall support him most
enthusiastically.
Gov. Glynn. it is believed will receive
the democratic nomination for governor
Mr.. Glynn has made an unusually good
governor. No governor of New York in
my time has done more for the people
No governor has succeeded in securing
the adoption of greater number of i'm
portant progressive measures. No gov
ernor has shown more sound sense and
practical executive ability in the conduct
of his office. Gov. Glynn is quiet and
conservative in his methods, but radical
in his results.
