tative organization of the new bureau,
knowing that anything he has decided
to do can be changed by the triumvir-
ate.
Controller Travis has decided to ap-
point one of his present staff as head
OF the bureau, and doubtless the Gov
ernor and Messrs. Sage and Machold
will assent to his choice, inasmuch as
1t IS necessary, if the bureau is to
work expertly after January l next,
to have skilled and able men at the
head of the bureau and its important
divisions
1t is understood on all sides that the
Controller will refuse to appoint as
head Of the new bureau any one not
personally satisfactory to himself.
There is possibility of deadlock from
the very beginning, if the Governor.
the Senator and the Asemblyman at
tempt to dictate. On the other hand
as already explained, the Controller
cannot dictate, as his coadjutors, by
withholding their approval, can prevent
the Controller from appointing any one.
Another interesting phase of the sit
uaton is the possibility that the Gov
ernor will request the State Civil
Service Commission to waive its pre-
rogative and consent to the appoint
ment o. clerks without regard to
eligible lists, on the ground that the
bureau is new and that the exigercies
of the occasion require q free hand on
the part Of those who organize the
bureau.

Says Clown Topics''
Editor Mann Prints Warning
to Public That Vampires
Are Going About Claiming
to Represent His Paper

The open season for politicians, men
about town and others whose names oc-
casionally appear in journals like
from an editorial warning printed on
the inside cover of this weeks issue
of Town Topics" W. D. Mann, edl-
tor, in signed notice says:
"Reports reach me from time to
time that some persons are going about
the city and other cities claiming to
represent Town Topics in an editorial
or reportorial way--in this city even
claiming to be managing editor-lnti-
mating that they are in position to
have nice things said in the paper or
to keep from its columns matters which
might be disagrceable.
"Probably all newspapers at some
time meet with this sort Of thing, but
owing to the special character of Town
Topics as the journal of society, in
which every one likes to be pleasantly
mentioned and has a mortal dread of
having peccadilloes exposed, it is
fertile field for the operations Of such
vampires.
Il wish now to distinctly state that
nc credence should be given to any
such representation. When l have oc-
casion TO seek information, a member
OF my editorial staff will be furnished
with letter Of identification and in
structed to exhibit the same Any per-
son pretending to represent the cd
ltorial department Of this publication
should be asked to produce such au
thorlzation. | will consider it favor
TO be informed of any visit from an
imposter."
Among those so approached. it is
SAID, was Governor from Western
state who was in New York to welcome
the s9th Division back from France.
upon being informed that he would be
written up If he did not produce $500,
the Governor simply said, "Go to it."
The article did not appear.

Wilson in Message
Tells Women Their
Victory Pleases Him
Conveys ''Warmest Congratu-
lations'' to MRS. Gait; Ken
lucky Only State So Far to
RefusetoCalIExtraSession

WASHINGTON, June 6.-President
Wilson, through the White House, to-
day sent to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, the fol-
lowing message:
81 join with you and all friends Of
the suffrage cause in rejoicing over
the adoption of the suffrage amend
ment by the Congress. Please accept
and convey to your association my
warmest congratulations"
Thus far but one state. Kentucky,
actually has refused to call a special
session Of the Legislature to act on
the suffrage amendment. a statement
issued to-day by Governor James D.
Black to that effect has caused quite a
storm in the Blue Grass State, accord
irg to reports received here, and the
suifragists have already named dele
cation to call on the Governor and try
to persuade him to reconsider his de-
cision.
In Texas The Equal Suffrage Associa-
tion has mapped out plan of cam
paign to urge the Legislature, which
meets in special session June %. to rat
ify the suffrage amendmenh. A can
vass of members Of the House and
Senate shows that the proposition will
receive the support of more than the
necessary majority.
Governor Bartlett of New Hampshire
is strongly in favor Of the ratiffca-
tion Of the amendment and believes
that special session of the Logis-
lature should be called TO act on the
matter, but, as he explains, the legis-
lative body of his state is composed
almost entirely OF hotel men and
farmers. and special session before
next fall would seriously interfere with
them respective businesses. In the
mean time. the Governor intends TO con-
fer with as many legislators as posi-
bic and do all in his power to further
the movement.
The Georgia Legislature ccnvenes
June 2s, and while there has been nc
positive indication as to what action
VIII be taken on the suffrage amend
ment. the state suffrage leaders arc
confident that Georgia viii not refuse
TO rat-iy.
From Tallahassee, comes the news
that the 1919 session Of the Legislature
of Florida adjourned tonight. without
having taken any action on the special
message Of Governor Gait, recommend
ing the ratification of the suffrage

10 Be Candidate
For N. Y. Bishopric
Choice of Leading Rectors
Asks Withdrawal of Name
as Suggested Successor Of
the Late Bishop Greer

The Rev. Dr. Finest NJ. stires. who.
on an informal ballot of leading New
1orA rectors, was first choice to sue
ceed the late Bishop Greer, yesterday
asked that his name be withdrawn from
further consideration. The request was
made in the course of an interview
with representative of The Tribune,
VINO had asked DR.. Stires for state.
ment as to the plans for a division of
the New York Diocese.
The convention called for Septem-
Der II cannot consider any other ouos-
ton than the one stated in the call,
which is the election of a Bishop" said
Dr. Stlres. wherefore, the plan to
create diocese with Newburgh or
foughkeepsie as the See city will not
be decided at that time. Personallv, |
THINK the plan for division of the
diocese is natural, wise and just"
DR.. Stires was asked whether, in
view of the informal balloting and
the prominence given to the mention
OF himself as a probable successor to
Bishop Greer, he would make anv
statement as to the result OF the CON
venton.
"Rightthinking people deprecate
the discussion of this subject in the
daily papers," he said. "In such mo-
mentous and sacred matter there is
need for deep thought and prayer. 1t
is unfortunate when the press tries to
forecast.
ut is to the credit of the diocese
that many names are under consider
alton. Before the convention meets
other names will naturally come TO
mind Among others I think of one
who has for many years been one of
the ablest and best loved men in the
diocese He was once elected to the
episcopate but felt his other duties
prevented his acceptance. There is no
lack Of good material.
Your question. however. makes it
possible for me to make personal
statement. My name has been men
toned, by the papers, in connection
with this sacred Office. I quite under
stand that the suggestion has come
from a very few old friends, and that
my S4ecIiol Woulu DO quite lmpOSSlH ie.
"Nevcrthcless. should like to say
Wnat have said to many friends, that
l am quite convinced that it is clearly
my duty to continue in my present
work, if ny patient parishioners per
nit; and that am utterly unable to
believe that it could be my duty at
present to undertake any other task,
even the highest Office. OF course, [
know that I am neither great enough
nor good enough for that sacred task;
but I am ventUring to declare that,
in addition 20 these reasons, l have
such clear indication Of my present
duty as compels me 10 be explicit.
My friends VIII easily turn their
thoughts to another, and this they
should do
Dr. Stires was asked if his reference
to "one of the able and best loved"
clergyman who had once declined the
blshoprlc was to the Rev. Dr.. Milo H.
Gates, who in 1913 was elected Bishop
OF Cuba. DR.. Gates, heretofore. had

Captain Barrett Asserts He

yOrce

Mr.. and Mrs. John r. Drexel have
accepted cheerfully the unexpected
marriage of their daughter. Miss Grace
Gordon Drexel to Captain William
Barrett on Thursday, according to Cap
attn Barrette's statements Yesterday.
He and Mrs. Barrett, he said had
spent several hours at the Drexel
home, l East Sixty-second Street, and
later Mrs. Drexel visited them at the
St. Regis.
The suddenness and secrecy of the
wedding in New Rochelle, Captain Bar
rett said, was due to his wife's desire
to avoid a formal ceremony. The mar
rage was a surprise to her parents,
ne declared, only as to the date, az
they had known for some time that it
was to take place. He denied state
ment made by Protestant Episcopal
clergyman of New Rochelle that he
had refused to perform the ceremony
because Captain Barrett nd obetined a
divorce from his former wife.
Captain Barrett declared that they
had applied only to the Clergyman who
performed the ceremony. He and his
bride would spend their honeymoon
abroad, he said

New Rochelle Rector Talks
The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Carnedv, Of
Trinity Church, New Rochelle, was the
clergyman who said he had refused to
marry Captain Barrett and Miss Drexel
because Of Captain 3arrett's divorce.
"Captain Barrett was perfectly
frank with me-" said the Episcopal
clergyman. He told me that the
divorce decree from his former wife
was granted in San Francisco on Sep
tember %, 1915. This statement ruled
out the possibility Of my performing
the marriage ceremony, because the
qesertion decree does not pass muster
AS far as the canons OF the church
are concerned without going through
some technical procedure. The City
Clerk of New Rochelle volunteered the
opinion that they could be married
under the law of the State of New
York. Ny objections were purely
canonical.'

You requested my cooperation in

cept those conditions, you very clear

that call at your Office to submit
the names of the witnesses I desire
you to call with statement of what

The obvious suggestion is, how
ever, that you call the Police Com
missioner to testify in public session
and ascertain from him whether it is
true or not:
THAT Inspector Honest Dan Cos

That the commissioner ondeav-

reasons;
