Requa Plans Ban on
Oil i'm Northwest

WASHINGTON, May TO- Mark l..
Requa. oil director of the fuel admin
lstration, is considering issuing an
order prohibiting the use of fuel oil in
parts of the Pacific Northwest to re-
lieve the fuel oil shortage in California.
Oregon, Washington and Alaska will
be affected. An embargo would be put
on fuel oil shipments to British Co.
lumba
More than million and a half bar
rels of oil per month would be saved
and diverted to California if this were
done
Mr.. Requa has had the question of
issuing the order before him for some
time and he indicated that he might
take action within the next few days.
AT the fuel administration it was said
there was sufficient coal in the Pacific
Northwest to take care of all fuel re-
quirements of the territory now using
oil: including British Columbia.
PENDING passage of the oil leasing
bill Mr.. Requa and oil operators from
the Pacific Coast have been marking
time regarding the oil situation in Cali
fornia. The oil men have agreed to
accept the bill and Director Reoua told
them two weeks ago they would have
to agree on some plan that would en-
able the opening up Of California lands.

Hin1nan Comes Out
For Attorney General

ALBANY, May 10.--The announce
ment to-day by Harold ]. Hinman of
his candidacy for Attorney General
may be followed by the placing in the
field for nomination at the Republican
primaries next September of two COM
plete tickets, one headed by Governor
Whitman and the other by Attorney
General Merton 4. Lewis, who is ex-
pected to announce his candidacy for
Governor at any time. Mr.. Hinman is
one of the right-hand men of William
Barnes. He is now deputy Attorney
General, and was formerly majority
leader of the Assembly
1t is known that Barnes, with Will
lam l.. Ward, of Westchester County,
is against the third-term nomination of
Whitman, and for that reason the Gov
ernor, it is believed, will not stand for
Hinman on his ticket. The Governor
is more likely to favor Lieutenant Gov
ernor Schoeneck, of Syracuse, who has
already been widely mentioned as a
candidate for Attorney General. He is
close to Francis Hendricks, the Onon-
daga County Republican leader and a
Whitman backer.
Humans announcement follows
closely the determination of Attorney
General Lewis to refuse renomina-
tion and to enter the gubernatorial
arena. Barnes is counted on as one of
the Lewis hackers, and for that season
Hinman will undoubtedly be a part of
the Lewis ticket. George w. Aldridge,
the Republican leader of Monroe Coun-
ty, who had been the political sponsor
OF Lewis, is still firm in his support of
Governor Whitman and is keenly dis
appointed because of the refusal of
Lewis to accept denomination. 1t is
man may be put on the Whitman tick
ct, and Senator George F. Argetsinger,
OF Rochester, is now being talked Of
for Lieutenant Governor.

Only Roosevelt or Miller
Could Defeat Whitman,
Ex-Governor Glynn Says

ALBANY, May 1o.-In leading ed
itorial in his newspaper, "Thc Times
Union," former Governor Martin H.
Glynn, who ran against Governor
Whitman four years ago, declared to-
night that Attorney General Merton
+. Lewis could not beat Governor
Whitman in the primaries. He said
there were only two men who could,
Colonel Roosevelt and Nathan l.. Mil
Ter, of Syracuse, former judge Of the
Court of Appeals.
"But Barnes" says Ex-Governor
Glynn, would prefer Whitman as
Governor to Roosevelt, and SO would
Odell and Ward, too. But if Teddy
took the bit in his teeth and went into
the fray, he could be nominated with
out the help Of any boss or bosslet
He could nominate himself. And if
he were nominated, sadness would
reign in the Democratic camp and the
camp fires of Democracy would need q
lot of fuel and oil and grease to
light the way to victory. Teddy would
be hard man to beat, a nightly hard
man to beat, and every Democratic
leader of sense is praying that Teddy
keeps out of the fight. And if Teddy
were elected Governor, he would be
the Republican nominee for President
as sure as tomorrow is Saturday.
Then would the country see battle
royal for the Presidency between
Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roose-
velt, with the third term issue in the
discard
$50 what would there be so strange
about Teddy suddenly throwing his hat
in the ring and announcing himself as
a candidate for Governor-not that he
cares peanut for the governorship,
but that he would be willing to worry
ship to clear the way for the Presi-
Dental race"

$4,000 Is Subscribed
To Aid Dry Fight

William H. Anderson, superintend-
ent Of the AntiSaloon League of this
state, announced yesterday that S. S
Kresge, of Detroit, owner of a chain
of S and 10 cent stores, had contributed
$4,000 to the league in this state pro-
vided $250,000 was raised by October
1. The fund, if raised, is to be used
in helping the fight for the ratification
by the Legislature of the proposed
bone-dry amendment to the Federal
Constitution.
"Mr. Kresge," said Mr.. Anderson
"feels that Governor Whitman. by his
able, fearless and statesmarlike mes
sage exposing the fraudulent charac-
ter of the so-called referendum, has
placed the prohibition forces Of the
entire nation in his debt, and desires,
provided the people Of New York are
willing to do their share, to help meet
the organized liquor opposition to the
Governor to get the facts before the
people so that the moral element will
rally to protect the Governor from the
old brewery serving element in his
own party"
Mr. Anderson says the $250,o00 will
be raised

man. He said this without any equivo-
cation. Those in his confidence said
yesterday that he would remain stead
fast in his determination and that, on
Monday or Tuesday, the formal an
nouncement that he would be the can
didate of the Whitman forces
would be Forthcoming.
Lewis Answers Glynn
Mr.. Lewis's attention was called
last night to the statement Of George
A. Glynn, whom the Attorney General
accused of using party funds to pro-
mote the candidacy of Governor Whit
man. Mr.. Glynn said that the first he
knew that he was promoting any ones
candidacy was on reading the Attorney
Generals letter to him.
Chairman Glynn," said Mr.. Lewis,
evidently asks for bill of partic-
ulars. That usually is the defence of
lawyer who hasn't good defence.
If he is anxious for bill of par
ticulars l am ready to furnish onc."

No Move Against Hearst

The prime example of failure bv
the Administration to proceed against
newspapers which opposed the war or
attacked our allies or directly or in
olrectly aided Germany is afforded by
the failure of the Administration to
deal with Mr.. Hearst's papers as it
mas dealt with certain other papers.
WI. Hearst is very wealthy man,
reputed to be much more then a mill
lonalre, owning a dozen newspapers
more or less and half dozen maga-
zlnes IN different parts of the coun-
try. At the very beginning of the
war the government proceeded sue
cessfully against Tom Watson's pub
ilcation in Georgia. Yet Tom Wat
son had done nothing that was any
thlng like as dangerous to this coun-
try and our allies and as helpful to
Germany as MIR. Hearst had done.
1T is interesting to remember that
the Administration had full warning
about Hearst's probable attitude by
ms previous editorials attacking Ger
many's foes and defending Germany.
nave before me at the moment a
copy of The New York American
editorial of June 6, 1915, signed by
Mr.. Hearst himself, saying that we
have no right to ask Germany to
refrain from submarine warfare
against the commerce of her enemies.
and tnat the Lusitania was an Eng
lish vessel and was properly a spoil
of war. and that it's destruction bv
the German submarine was in ac-
cordance with the authorized and &C.
cepted rules of warfare.
Wanted to Fight at Home
After we went into the war. on
April II, 1917, Mr.. Hearst wrote:
Stripping. our country of men. money
and food is dangerous policy. Our
earnest suggestion to the Congress
is that it imperatively refuse to per
NIT the further draining Of our food
