WADSWORTH OUT
FOR ROOTS JOB
Chairman Barnes Said to
Favor Former Speaker
of Assembly.

In a telegram from Texas yesterday
James W. Wadsworth, jr, former
Sneaker of the Assembly, announced
his candidacy for the Republican NOM
ination for the United States Senate 10
succeed Senator Root.
The dispatch, copies OF which were
received in this city, read, in part, as
follows:
Senator Roots retirement is mat
ter of genuine regret to all who prize
the prestige of New York and the dig
nifty Of the United States Senate. The
action taken by my neighbors IN the
meeting at Geneseo indicates a degree
OF friendship which | deeply appreel-
ate. | accept their generous offer OF
support, and shall be candidate IN
the direct primaries for the Republi-
can nomination for United States SEN
ator. Within a short time ] shall term
mate some important business matters
here and return TO take an active part
in the campaign"
This was in reply to message sent
10 Mr.. Wsdsworth after meeting OF
Livingston County citizens on Satur-
day night.
Although Chairman Barnes Of the
Republican State Committee does not
acknowledge that he has any candidate
his friends know he favors Wadsworth.
In common with all other Republicans,
Chairman Barnes hoped that Senator
Root could be induced to run again.
When the Senator gave his final mo
last week the comment OF Barnes in
dicated to those who were FAM liar
with the state chairman that he had
Wadsworth in mind.
Mr.. Wadsworth is scarcely forty
years old. He was graduated from
Yale in 1898. In the Assembly he was
consistent opponent Of direct prl-
maries. OF late he has devoted consid-
cradle time TO a large ranch in Texas:
Mrs. Wadsworth is a daughter OF
John Hay, and the Wadsworths are well
known in Washington society.

The full report of the accountants.

receivers to-day, will not be ready
until later in the week, though there
Is remote chance that il will be
finished tomorrow afternoon. No hint
was allowed to leak out as 10 what
this will show.
Tentative plans for the reorganizs-
ton of the Claim company have now
reached that stage where 1t is thought
the company may be put on its feet
by the settlement Of claims against it
on basis OF 70 per cent cash and
the balance up to 80 per cent in stocks
and notes Of "A new company, these
stocks in part TO be preferred as to any
division Of earnings and assets. This
plan, however, or any other cannot
be adopted until the bankers who will
have TO finance the new company have
a better idea of the condition OF the
ClaAin subsidiaries and their ability
TO pay the claims against them.
Some considerable sacrifice, II Is now
thought certain, will have TO be made by
the holders OF the notes issued by
the Clafin company. The interest on
these amounts TO $l,5OO,0o0 year,
and it is among the probabilities that
the holders will be asked to waive
this in order to allow the reorgsnizer
reasonable chance to take care OF

So far as the local stores now OPP
Grated by Claim interests are con.
cerned all are sound financially and
are financed we'll into the next year,
so that the receivers and bankers
have no worries on their account.
Reports from outside cities where
Clsfln stores were located arc 10 the
effect that some properties thought
TO be very weak are showing up bet
ter than had been anticipated.
