Az the same time thpt "clOse friends
of the President" In ash ngton were
saving ne would support Governor
Clynn for reelection the Governor WAS
giving out a statement In Albany IN
which, after highly prsising the Presl-
dent he declared himself free from
tho domination of Charles F. Murphy
n NAV have been coincidence,
"If elected" he said, ~ shall be Gov:
ernor In fact. promise the people OF
New York that so long az am Gov,
ornor no faction, clique or indivldufl
will be permitted - insult the SOW
ereipnty of the state by subordinatinG
IFS government to selfish interests or
personal ambition" u
About the same time John A. Hen
messy, the defeated opponent OF Gov,
ernor Glynn, who has had the moral
support of members Of the national al.
ministration, refused to indicate what
his future course would be.
Early In the day intimstions came
from the office of Stuart G. Gibboney'
former partner of Secretary McAdoo
of the Treasury Department, who mas
been the head of the snti-MuFphy
movement, that Hennessy would run
independently. Early in the afternoon
Hennessy said he was going down 10
see Gibboney and might have some
thing 10 say later After his CONFER
ence he had nothing to say except
that be was going fishing to-day. he
did not cay how long he would remain
In w Hnrton stress is laid on the
statement that President wilson re,
manned neutral in the fight agalnst
Murphy. Here it is understood tnat
the President realizes that he may lose
the United States Senate at the COM
ing election and that he cannot imperli
a single Democratic seat. II he should
countenance fight against Giynn mere,
or even II he did not let II be known
that he favored the election OF the
ticket the candidacy Of Ambassador
lanes w. Gerard might go down to
defeat with that of Governor Glynn.
Asks Gerard 10 Shun Tiger.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidate for
the nomination against Mr.. Gerard,
sent word TO Berlin yesterday that ne
would campaign for him if he would
declare himself against Murphy.
Hearty congratulations" he ssid.
"Shall abide result primaries. In addl-
ton will make active campaign lot you
if you declare unslterable opposition
to Murphys leadership and all he
stands for. Please answer
1t is believed that part Of the un;
derstanding between Washington ana
Governor Glynn is that William +. Nc
Combs shall be chosen as chairman OIL
the Democratic State Committee and
that he shall be recognized by the fed
eral administration. One OF the reArI
sons why william Church Osborn de-
termined not to take another term was
that he had been unable to get any
recognition in Washington on matters
Of patronage.
= Mr.. McCombs is at present in Hot
Springs, Va, and Is not expected back
for a week. In his absence a friend
said he did not think the plan to name
McCombs state chairman had crystal
lized. From u source close to the Gov
ernor, however, came the definite state
ment that McCombs would be the next
chairman. 1t is quite likely there
would be some understanding that he
could retire, if he desired, after the
campaign. President Wilson, it is
known, has a high opinion Of Mr.. Me-
Combs as a campaign manager. he
managed the Presidential campaign and
is still chairman Of the national COM
mittee.
Before the suggestion to name Nc
Combs chairman was made Iammany
Hall leaders had been asserting they
wanted to induce him to run again.
Yesterday he issued call for the new
committee to meet for organization at
noon on Tuesday. The meeting will be

Judge Alton b. Parker joined in the
"get-together" movement. ut is now
the duty of every member of the
party" he said in a statement given
out in this city, without regard to pre-
vious preference or fractional leaningS,
to strive to assure his (Glynn'sl cleo
ton. This duty we owe to the party,
which has spoken through its majority;
to the national administration, at the
head Of which stands President Will
son. and to Governor Glynn for his
faithful, brilliant and efficient service
to the state"
Returns from the many contests for
membership in the state committee
outside the city were not received here
Yesterday. John A. Hennessy gave out
a list of about fifty Assembly districts
where, he said, the anti-Murphy cRndi-
dates had won. II may be that they
have won from five to ten seats outside
of the city.
In this city they won just two fights.
! Frank Hendrick defeated Percy Maggie
in the south end of the Goth; Fred
Lundy, for years the "boss" of Coney
! Island (the 1871 Assembly District. III
! Kings), went down before the assaults
Of Fred Ward.
! Tammany men were jubilant over the
defeat of Thomas Z Doherty, who ran

Washington, Sept. 29.--Close friends
Of President Wilson asserted today
that he would support Governor Glynn
in the campaign, although II was said
sem; icially that he will not make
any speeches in the New York State
campaign.
Secretary Bryan said to-day that re
understood that Ambassador Gerarl
will take no art in the campaign in
New York, but will leave his political
fortunes IN the hands of his friends.
