HUGO Reaf1ir11ls
Decision to Fight
For COvernOrship
State Secretary Says Nomi-
mating Petitions With
10000 Names Are Ready
To Be Filed August IA

Francis NJ. Hugo, Secretary of State,
yesterday at the Hotel Commodore re-
affirmed his decision to contest at the
primaries for the Republican nominal
tion for Governor. Pressure from both
state and national sources to induce Mr..
Hugo to abandon his Governorship
plans has been exerted
my nominating petitions carrying
$4,000 names are all ready for filing on
August a." said Mr.. Hugo. "Rumors
to the effect that J am not going to run
at the primaries are entirely unfound-
ed, as | fully expect to run. Not only
that, but | am confident of winning.
The resolution of the state conference
stating IN terms that participation in
the conference would not prejudice the
candidacy of any asplrant gives every
one perfect freedom to enter the pri-
maries. The conference was entirely
unofficial. The primaries offer the only
nominating method.
"The delegates who supported me, to
the number of about 32O, asked me
what | wanted them to do after it be-
came known that the leaders favored
some one else. l told them that the
purpose of the conference and the roll
call was to bring out sentiment, and
that if they favored me for Governor
wanted them to show it. | do not
expect to lose prestige or the friend
ship of the rank and file of the or
ganization by entering the primaries.
The primary law is for the purpose of
enabling aspirants to appeal to the peo-
le. That is what am going to do"
In spite of the determination of Mr..
Hugo, organization men throughout the
state believe he will yield to pressure
from his friends and refrain from filing
his nominating petitions. They say it
entails large outlay of money for any
candidate not favored by the organiza-
ton to lay campaign plans in all the
counties. When that matter was
brought to the attention of Mr.. Hugo.
he said he was widely known over the
state. and that it would be easier for
him than for others to wage cam
paign.
Senator George F. Thompson, of Mid,
dleport, Niagara County, who walked
out Of the Saratoga convention when
he found it would designate Judge Mil
Ter for Governor, will begin his cam
paign for the Republican nomination
for that office next week. He expects
to cover nearly every county in the
state before September IA, the Official
primary day.

Mayor Says City
Lost Millions on
Conduit Contracts
Due to Laxity of Past Ad-
11linistrations, He Asserts;
Urges Independent Bu-
reau 10 Supervise Firms

Mayor Hylan yesterday said that the
laxity of past city administrations
in exercising supervision over the two
subway conduit companies Con-
solldated Telegraph and Electric Sub
way Company and the Empire City
Subway Company, subsidiaries respec-
lively of the New York Edison Company
and the New York Telephone Company
has resulted in the loss of millions of
dollars to the taxpayers Of the city.
He sent communication to the Board
OF Estimate calling attention to the
contracts existing between these COM
panics and the city
According to the terms of the con-
tracts, the Mayor said, whenever the
net annual profits of the company re-
naming after the payment of expenses
Of maintaining and operating the sub
way conduts exceeded 10 per cent, the
excess should be paid to the CITY of
New York. The contracts were award
ed under the administration of Mayor
Grant. in 1891, and since that time the
condults have remained under the con-
NIOl VI OuCSC companies.
Cost Declared Padded
The contracts also provided that the
city could take over the underground
condults, containing both the high and
low tension conductors supplying the
entire city with electrical facilities.
and operate them at any time, upon
the payment of the cost thereof plus
10 per cent of such cost, if the COM
panies had not earned 10 per cent a
year on the actual cost during the
term of the contracts. This cost, ac-
cording to the Mayor, has been padded
by the companies we'll into the millions
of dollars in such way as to render
it out of the question for the city to
exercise its legal rights. The Mayor
declared that no accounting or super
vision was ever kept by the city of the
outlays Of these companies.
Referees had found that there was a
profit of more than 10 per cent in the
early operations Of these companies,
but the city had not received cent,
the Mayor said. Both companies, how
ever, allege capital investment
against which a large shortage OF the
10 per cent profit is charged, amount
ing to about Sl6,000,000 for both COM
panies.
City Lost Millions, He Says
"As a consequence of the policy of
the companies" said the Mayor, land
the Indifference of past administrations
there has resulted, according to the
contentious OF the companies, deficit
of $4,000 900 to both companies, which
they claim they must recover eventu-
ally before the city can legally make
any claim for share in the profits
The laXity of past administrations in
exercising proper supervision over the
operation OF the two monopolistic sub
wav conduit companies has resulted,
believe, in the loss of millions of dol
lars to the Taxpayers of the city"
The Mayor recommended the estab-
lishment OF an Independent burealAln
the Department of Water Supply. G$e
and Electricity to have supervision over
these companies, with similar powers
as formerly vested in the Board of
Electrical Control.
