Stand on Governorship Not Known
Saratoga Springs, July 19-With
the eyes OF the political leaders Of
state and nation focused on its de-
liberation. the New York Republican
state convention suddenly and IN
expectedly adjourned today leaving
unanswered many questions to
which replies were eagerly awaited.
Chief among them was whether
Col. Roosevelt would consent to en-
ter the race for the governorship
this fall The prevailing belief as
the delegates left for their homes
that he would. But in the absence
OF any authentic statement from
him the party managers of all fac.
tons were as much at sea as ever.
Although the convention Just
closed was featured by the central
ization Of the Roosevelt boom it
promises TO become historic for adj
ultiohal reasons. 1t marked the

1rahchised women in q big conven-

Root and National chairman Hays.
The part played by the women
was not insignificant Fully one
fifth Of the 1884 delegates were nav
voters and a woman, Miss Mary

chairman of the most important
committee, the resolutions commit

which was unanim ously adopted.

At the direction of Chairman T.

Washington. July 19.-War department
officials expected the real counter often

the enemy back off French and Belgian

it was made plain that the smashing

as only a minor operation In compa.ri-

that it alread had fallen and that
10000 additional German prisoners
had been taken were in circulation,
but no additional advices from Cen

MI. Baker indicated the hopes of

the following statement:

million pounds Of sugar, were sunk OF

wives. This amount has now been cut
