Special Dispatch to The Star
ALBANY. N. Y. June 26-Tammany
Hail. according to word sent back
to this state by democratic leaders.
has enough votes pledged at San
Francisco to kill any third-term am
bitions of President Wilson or beat
any candidate that may be put forth
by the Wilson supporters. For months
the New York state delegates to the
democratic convention have been
working upon plans for the elimination
of President Wilson at San Francisco.
At this time it is definitely understood
that the empire state leaders have
entered into agreements with Ohio,
Pennsylvania and other state leaders
to eliminate Wilson at the gathering
which opens tomorrow.
Gov. James NJ. Cox of Ohio. it is un-
derstood. will be the first choice of the
Tammany delegation for the presiden-
tial nomination, but it is freely ad
mitted that the New York state votes
will swing to Thomas r. Marshall at
the first indication that he has
chance to win out. Just what plans
have been made for Gov. Alfred j..
Smith are not known. But he will be
presented as a vice presidential pos
sibility and il New York and Ohio
WELD the influence they expect a,
San Francisco the New York STATE
governor will be selected.
Smith Opposing Coolidge.
Smith has been offered as an ideal
opponent for Gov. Calvin Coolidge, it
being pointed out that his popularity
and general record is equal TO that
of the Massachusetts, executive and in
the opinion of many even stronger. 1t
is definitely understood that Smith
was decided upon for Vice President
at the recent conferences at French
Lick Springs. where some of the old
guard leaders got together on their
way to San Francisco and threshed
out a convention program. The New
York executive may be entered as a
presidential possibility. but the real
object is to put him across as the
candidate for Vice President.
Former GOV: Martin H. Glynn is an
other New York man being men
toned for the vice presidency. but his
support is expected to come from an
entirely different source. In demo-
cratic circles of this state Glynn is
expected to be put forward by VIII
liam Jennings Bryan and the Nebras-
kan is expected to show considerable
strength at San Francisco. Ex-Gov.
Glynn will not receive much support
from the New York state delegation,
which is controlled by Tammany and
bound by unit rule agreement at
this time.
Unit Rule First Problem.
The unit rule will be the first prob
lem placed before the convention by
the New York delegation. for certain
Wilson supporters among the dele
gates object strenuously to being
bound to Tammany hall. They will
appeal to the convention to be freed
from the unit rule and feel that they
will be victorious in the movement.
If the unit rule agreement is repu
dated not more than fifteen votes
will swing from Tammany and they
will go to the Wilson lineup in a
body it is declared There is little or
no sentiment for Bryan in this state
and none at all in the New York city
delegation to San Francisco.
Nicholas Murray, Buffers attack
upon Gen. Leonard Wood has Gre
ated a distinct sensation in certain
republican circles of this state and
it will be some time before the bitter
feeling is eliminated. Buffers charges
the rural districts upstate which were
strong for Gen. Wood and many of
these voters are inclined to hold the
New York state republican organiZa-
tion responsible for Buffers accusa-
tions. In support of this opinion they
have the organizations Endorsement
of Butler previous to the convention,
and they charge that Wood was de-
liberately double-crossed by certain
New York state leaders
Harding Not Entirely Accepted.
This state has not accepted Hard
ing yet, according to those most ac-
