I'VE arrived dt , perfect understand

State ~ New York"
The fact Sat Nc. Harris wae pleased
was sufficient for the Tammauy men
who dropped IN on him during the day.
His having gone to Washington with
Collector Malone. one OF the mon who
started on some tlIna nyo 10 build up
in this state an independent orgatiza-
ton under the patronage Of Secretary
McAdoo. WAS interpreted as an indica.
lion that the Waite House il In entire
accord will the feeling of Tamnnny Hal
that now is the time for all good men
10 come together for the good OF their
party.
BEFORE Mr.. Harris was elected State
cha irman II was understood his recon-
mcnda,lonS for pos maste-ships up state
were usually favorably considcied by the
President. He Is expected to have in
cfeasing influence from now on. NJ.
Harris said yesterday. hoNeve-, that he
DID not discuss the New York post
mastcrship with MIR. Wilson. Senator
Nasncr's name has not been withdrawn
and the feeling here is tina. 1t Will not
be until the President liz ready 20 send
IN a name acceptable to Senator
O'Gorman.
Mr.. Harris intends to lie a, state
headquarters in this city at least three
days a week. Ptlgr.mages to his office
began yesterday and those who saw him
came away feeling that from now on
the Democrats who got GU, the vote
for Mr.. Wilson in 1912 are going to
have a show. This necessaril, relates
TO the Endorsement Of their state ticket
ny Washington rather than To appoint
ments. Mr.. Harris is believed to have
mentioned u number 81 names to the
President In connection with the Gov
ernorship and the United States SEN
atorshla.
With respect to the former. Judge
Samuel S-Ibury Of the Court, ~ tp-
peals and Ambassador Gerard are
thought to be possibilities who stand on
the delightful edge of probability. Both
have shown themselves strong vote get
tiers and Democrats here believe either
would be welcomed 10y the .Administra-
ton at Washington.
II developed In connection with tho
return of NJ. II iris that Martin ".
0lynn, formerly Governor, Is very likely
TO hc chosen as temporary chair nan
OF the Democratic iUtiona convention
in -. Louis. and this ,s held to mean
that h. H. likely to DO "A candidate for
the United states senate 10 succeed sem
ator OGorfnau. While Governor MIR.
0lynn was well liked IN Washington
and his recent reply TO Flihu Roots
attack upon MIR. Wilson raised him to
high favor.
A. a general proposition 1t may he
stated ON good authori;! that While
suggestions viii occasionally he IN dc
with resicut to possibilities Tor certain
offices nothing will he decided until
after the -. Louis convention. Mr.. Har-
rs let II he known that there vas no
actual discussion OF patronage with the
President.
