NEW YORK REPUBLIC AN
LEADER OPPOSER TO GOV.
ERNOR AS NOMINEE.

Albany, March 1.-THE Repubii-
can mapeuvers here just now are In
some respects regarded as having tao
teal bearing on the lineup of the
New York delegation at the next Re-
publican national convention.
There are signs that William
Barnes is moving to head off the
Whitman In the national field, and
that a break between the two has al
ready taken place.
While there is talk that Governor
Whitman and Senator Root may be
opponets for the Republican nomina-
ton for President there Is some rea-
son TO believe that the ex-senator
has no wish to be a candidate.
AS the story Is told, Barnes is
ment of Governor Whitman, and is
bent on sending solid delegation for
Root to the next national convention.
Barnes, cit liz added is not for
Root so much as he is determined
to eliminate Whitman from the ma
tionai field
Some OF the, Governors friends are
advising hin, to go ahead and be a
pood Governor to lose sight of his
nmbition TO become President. and
ct his presi Dental possibilities grow
Other friends of the Governor, how
aver. are advising him to act In ways
'rl-xh will bring him more into pub
~ Fotice and further his presidential
desires. This program would consist
mostly of ignoring the Republican
state machine.
Mr. Whitman also has been told
that the Barnes rock is in the same
old place in the political stream. and
that If he wishes to continue in public
life after his present term as Cover
nor he must not strike II.
His frien2s have shown him how
Hu9hes nit this rock. and the result
wa hat Hughes withdrew to Wash
in - from the politics OF this State.
The same fate awaits Governor Whit
man. some Of his friends believe. II
he antagonzes Barnes,
Senator Root is expected to be a
guest at the executive mansion when
ne comes e Albany. either tomorrow
or next day. to talk over the consti-
tutioral convention program with the
Governor,
The main ambition of Senator Root
now, II ia sale. is TO be Secretary of
State under I, Republican President,
in order that he may aid In clearing
up the diplomatic tangle which is
hourd TO result from the European
waI.
