Following tho exclusive announce

Simultaneous announcement was mace
IN Washington that Franklin ID. Roose-
welt. Assistant Secretary Of the Treas
Wv. would enter the primaries as
candidate for the nomination for

This announcement Of Hennessy and
Roosevelt disclosed the fact that new
combination had been formed 10 night
the control Of the Democratic state or
csnizstion by Tammany Hall IL VIII
nut a complete ticket IN the primaries
with the idea of breaking the Murphy
control on the state organization.
The big Three" IN the new combina-
ton. according % information obtained
last night, arc Hennessy, Louis NJ.
Antisdale. Of Rochester, and Stuart Il.
Gibboney.
Dudley Field Malone. Collector Of the
Port: Mayor Mitchell and Frank /. Polk
and William F. Schneider, County
Clerk. are not IN the combination.
nc MHNOI is not lI TIE 10 70 90
through his own decision that he could
not afford 70 mix in fractional politics.
II am not going 20 have anything TO
90 with the political situation he said
Inst night. ~ have all the work / can
DO right in this Office
The story is that the administration
first looked 20 Collector Malone 10 lead
the anti-Tammany movement here and
hoped that he would be able 10 accom-
plish something with the aid Of the
Mayors Office. However. the Mayor
showed clearly that he would not per
init his administration 10 be used by
tho Collector for political purposes.
As nothing was accomplished by the
Collector. President Wilson, u is sald,
decided 20 turn 20 Secretary McAdoo
Of the Treasury Department. The Sec
rotary a. once brought I'M Mr.. Gibbo-
nov. who used 10 be his law partner IN
this city. and IS now counsel for the
Controller Of the Currency. After a
number Of conferences Gibboney took
I'm Hennessy and Antisdale.
Experienced politicians asserted last
night that the Hennessy fight would
work cut 20 the advantage Of the Re
publican ticket. In the first place, It
was pointed out, Malone and the indie
rendent Democrats who were working
with him and who were kept absolutely
in the dark on the Gibboney- Hennessy-
Antisdale plans. will be disatfected.
Secondly. the Hennessy candidacy is
likely 10 scare Governor Glynn so that
he will reconsider his determination TO
20 into the primaries for renomlna-
ton.
One Democrat argued last night that
With Clvnn out Hennessy stood an eX-
cellent chance Of carrying the prl-
maries. II he did, the argument went,
Charles F. Murphy, fearing the election
Of Hcnnessy, would do all he could to
defeat him. resulting in the election OF
the Republican ticket.
The intimation comes from Washing
ton that Chairman Osborn Of the Dem
ocratic State Committee is back OF
Franklin ID. Roosevelt for the Senate,
and the combination Of Roosevelt with
Hennessy is likely 10 give Hennessy
strength with the Osborn part of the
organization.
Ii rs the plan Of the combination not
only 20 put a complete state ticket IN
the primaries, but also tickets for
members Of county committees
throughout the state. They assert
thcy have an excellent chance Of cut
ting in on the county committees eX-
cept in Broome, Onondsga and West
chester counties.
For purposes Of distribution Of federal
patronage and organization the state
has been divided into three parts,
Il is said. Mr. Antisdale is TO handle
the central and western counties; Mr..
Hennessy is 20 look after the Hudson
RIVER counties and Nassau and Suffolk,
on Long Island; Mr.. Gibboney is TO
devote himself 10 the city.
Mr. Hennessy declined to discuss his
plans in detail last night, but said he
would have a statement in few days.
Mr. Schneider, who was left out Of
the combination. said last night he was
not for Roosevelt for Senator, but be
lieved that Ambassador James w. Ger
ard was the man for the nomination.
Many Of the friends Of William F.
McCombs. chairman of the national
committee, who are disguised with the
vacillation Of Governor Glynn, have
been urging MeCombs TO come out as
candidate for the Gubernatorial
nomination. He has discouraged them,
however. as some time ago he decided
he would not enter the race for any
