It is doubtful IL an agreement 10
thrashed out before the convention IS
called to order tomorrow.
Mr.. Greiner, after conference with
Odel and others, said that he was
quite sure that the opposition TO Judge
Miller numbered enough votes to pre-
vent his nomination.
"If the computation Of our people is
correct, there are 519 votes, without
Albany County, ready and eager to
combine against Judge Miller. as
serted Mr.. Greiner. Mr.. odeil con-
firmed the opinion OF Mr.. Gre1neI.
The movement to prevent the desig-
nation of Senator Wadsworth did not
seem to gain great Roadway overnight.
The seven southern tier counties in
the Senate districts represented by
CLAYTON r. Lusk and Seymour Low
man at n conference late Monday night
decided to throw their votes to judge
Miller for Governor and Elon II.
Hooker for United States Senator, al
though Mr.. Hooker is still in the field
for the nomination for Governor.
AS counter move to this sixteen
northern tier counties were repre-
sented in late conference, the object
of which was to further the designa-
ton of Mr.. Hugo, and at this con-
ference no opposition to Wadsworth
was openly manifested.
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, the anti
Wadsworth woman leader, stoutly as
serts, as she has for the last six
months, that the designation of Wads-
worth may be fraught with most seri-
whole, as he is, in her judgment, sure
to be defeated if he is the candidate
next fall. Miss Hay worked among the
women all day long against the Senator.
Woodward Attacks Payne
Payne for the Senatorshp designation
has not made any considerable impress
sion on the delegates. Mr.. Payne
issued a statement to-day claiming the
support, of the travelling statesmen. His
boom received a blow from former Tax
Commissioner Collin H. Woodward,
leader OF the 23d District who left the
Tax Board when Mr. Payne entered it.
"Payne's boom will not get anywhere
with WELL Uniformed Republicans" said
Mr.. Woodward. at is already fairly
first important official act after being
appointed by Hylan was to acquiesce
in the cutting down Of the salaries of
the only two Republican Deputy Tax
commissioners in the departm mt
Robert Miller, former Assembly
man, and perhaps the ablest tax asses
sor in the city, and Harry G. Wilson, a
we'll known young Republican associ-
ated with Charles K. Lexow, the vet
\ eran district leader. Miller's salary
was cut by the Hylan Tax Commits
sioners from $4,000 to $3.50, while that
of Wilson was cut from $3.50 to ST.
500. This was piece of official perse-
cutlon against the only two Republi-
can deputies in the department"
William H. Anderson, state super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League.
said tonight that the designation of
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt for Lieu
|stenant Governor would not aid the
ticket, as Colonel Roosevelt voted for
the. Tammany beer bill, which the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court has made of no effect. Mr.
Anderson said that the league has no
objection to Senator Charles w. Wal
ton, who still leads for the designa-

Broome County to-day brought for
ward Major Charles S. Blakesley, of
Blnghamton, as suitable candidate

designation would be pleasing to the
World War veterans
Ely Rosenberg, of the National Re-
publican Club, to-day brought to the
conventlon the boom of Judge William
