around Saroniki, as well as being
senior commander in the united ac-
ton by which the allies are conduct
ing simultaneous campaigns in the
Russian, Italian, French and Balkan
theaters as part of one systematic

the Judge who IL able TO beat him Tor
the nomination.
Before Murphy left for Saratoga yes
terday afternoon he told his confdants
that he was against the nomination OF
the judge, and that he expected 70 have
candidate before the Saratoga con-
venton who would be sufficiently
strong to get the Endorsement Of the
delegates. Murphy had no idea as 10
who this candidate would be, but IL was
apparent that he was cropping about,
just as he had been for the last few
weeks, hoping TO find some one Of
greater strength than the judge.
George McAneny is the latest candi-
date Of the Murphy allies TO be trotted
out against Judge Sesbury. Il -
understood that for the last few days
Edwin A. Harris, chairman of the DEM
ocratic State Committee. has been hard
at work for him upstate, despite the
protestations Of Mr.. McAneny that he
is not a candidate for the nomination
and will not accept it.
The whole question Of Democratic
candidate for Governor probably will
be settled at Saratoga tonight, when
Murphy and his allies hold their pre-
conference and when candi-
dates and their qualifications will be
discussed in detail.
Friends of Governor Whitman shared
the view yesterday that Judge Seabury
would be Mr.. Whitman's opponent. The

WANTS APPORTIONMENT
ACT OF 1907 SET ASIDE
Taxpayers Suit To BE Rushed to
the Court of Appeals.

Following the decision of the Court
of Appeals, holding the 1916 reappor-
tionment unconstitutional, Walter l..
Rathbone, suing as taxpayer, moved
in the Supreme Court yesterday to have
also the 1907 reapportionment act,
which was reinstated by the decision
on the subsequent enactment, declared
invalid. To make possible an early de-
termination of the present action by
the Court Of Appeals Justice Tierney
formally denied Rathbone's applica-
tion.
The formal order of Justice Tierney
was by agreement between counsel for
Rathbone and NJ. L. Lewis, Deputy At
torney General.
Some timo ago Justice Giegerich
similarly disposed of a proceeding 70
the same end brought by Rathbone.
The new application was made 10 pro-
tect his right OF appeal, for which the
time had almost expired. The matter
will now be rushed TO the Appellate
Division and then 10 the Court OF
Appeals. 10 is doubtful If a final de-
clsion can be had before election.

his action, and there is no special ses-
sion 70 rectify the errors Of its super.
