See Whitman Victory
in Tanner Telegram

Albany, Feb. 25.-Except 20 say that
be believed the telegram sent him to-
day by Frederick {. Tanner, chairman
Of the Republican State Committee,
spoke for itself, Governor Whitman to-
night refused TO discuss the message
which cancelled a conference arranged
to be held here by the New York dele
gates -at-large TO the National RepuD-
lican Convention.
Governor Whitman's friends, how
ever, regarded the telegram as a vic
tory for the Executive in his stand that
United States Supreme Court Justice
Charles L. Hughes should receive the
Republican nomination for President.
They maintained that there never was
any reason for calling a conference Of
the delegates-at-large, except to try to
get the Governor TO pledge his support
TO ex-senator Root. Mr.. Root, IL was
said, would be supported for the nomi-
nation by the other three delegates-at-
large.

BARNES THWARTED
IN PREFERENCE PLAN

observation-disclosures Still
Favors Hughes.

The efforts of the Barnes forces In
the Republican Old Guard to obtain a
snap preference of the four delegates
at-large to the Republican National
Convention for ex-senator Root have
finally failed. State Chairman Tanner
wrote tho closing chapter of the Barnes
episode yesterday in telegram which
he sent 70 Governor Whitman. 1t read:
Senator Wadsworth notifies me that
in the present crisis in Washington 1t
will be impossible for him TO leave. SO
far as | can learn from the candidates
for district delegates, they agree with
the candidates for the delegates-at-
large that there should be no pledges,
but that the delegates should go to the
convention free to do whatever their
Judgment at that time shows TO be wise.
There is. therefore, not the same rea-
son for n conference that there ap-
peared TO be when l wrote you on the
10th instant"
Mr.. Tanner was asked what effect
this change Of plans would have on the
efforts being made to advance the can
didacies OF ex-senator Root ard Justice
Hughes.
"ln my opinion he replied. the idea
Of an uninstructed delegation by no
means eliminates the consideration OF
Justice Hughes's name at the proper
time. nor that Of Senator Root. On the
contrary. with both Senator Root and
Justice Hughes forbidding the use OF
their names as candidates. the proper
course to pursue Is for delegates to
remain unhampered and to use their
best judgment at the time Of the con-
vention."

Tanner Blocked harness Move.

The conference of three OF the "Big
Four" Senator James W. Wadsworth,
State Senator Elon r. Brown and Mr..
Tanner, which was held at Republican
state headquarters soon after the close
Of the state convention at Carnegie
Hall on February 10, was instigated by
William Barnes. Senator'S Wadsworth
and Brown were willing and ready 20
indorse the candidacy Of Mr.. Root and
wanted a public statement 20 that
effect issued by the Big Four" The
Barnes forces were evidently hopeful
that such an announcement would re-
suit substantially in pledging the New
York delegation for ex-senator Root.
State Chairman Tanner blocked the
early move by objecting to any an
nouncement of preference until Gov
ernor Whitman. the fourth member OF
the Big Four" had Joined in the con-
ference. Mr.. Tanner telegraphed Gov
ernor Whitman on February l6, asking
him il he would confer with the other
delegates-st-la large on some day in the
latter part Of this week. The Governor
replied that he would be glad TO meet
the delegates in Albany Thursday, yes
terday or to-day. Senator Wadsworth
was expected here yesterday, but re-
mained in Washington and after Mr.
Tanner had talked with him on the tel
ephone he sent the telegram to Gov
ernor Whitman.
Meanwhile Governor Whitman had
announced that he still held his prefer
ence for Justice Hughes. While Mr..
Tanner did not announce his prefer
ence, his friends declare that he favors
Justice Hughes.
