OBSCURlTY OF NEW YORK IS
 GOOD ENOUGH

NEW YORK, Nov. 26. New York is big; New York is cosmopolitan-it is even friendly. But New York is also the crucible into which the great come. only to find that they have dwindled into insignificance. The fame of Napoleon himself could not survive other and more immediate questions in this great city.
 All this is preliminary to the story of C. N Haskell, Oklahomas first governor, big political gun in that state and national figure until he came to New York Haskell went back to Oklahoma last month on his first visit in five years The newspapers there got out special welcome editions, and the wclkin rang from Altus to Miami and from Guymon to Hugo considerable territory.
 In New York Haskell is chairman of the board of the Middle States Oil Company. When he made up his mind to visit Oklahoma the only ones 10 miss him were his stenographer, his office boy and the office doorman. Outside of these and a few friends, no one knew he had ever been in New York. to say nothing of his leaving 1t. Outside of his business and social orbit the tax collector is the only indi- | yidual who has cyinccd any special in tcrcst in him.
 WROTE "DENVER PLATFORM" 1 In Oklahoma the name of "C. N." was household word. President
 Roosevelt thundcred at him and newspapers exposed him. He wrote
 the Denver platform of Democracy and was the party's national treas urer.
 In New York he has made just as much of success in business as he did in Oklahoma politics. As an Okla | human his name and face were once 1 familiar to New York. AS a New Yorker-well. he still is remembered 1 in Oklahoma.
 When he made this last trip to the
 state he was the first to speak at the State Fair, and everyone hustled to McAlester and listened to him. l Publicly they cheered. but privately 1 they asked each other what he was up to-" They speculated as to wheth- CT he was about to return to Okla homa politics and give Cherokee Bob ! owen another run for the Senate, or
 was this to be the opening gun of a national Cdmpaign2 But he fooled 1 them all. He spoke of national extra vagancc and the direct election of Fed eraI judges. They went away still
 cheering and still puzzled. and he came back to the Madison avenue of fees Of the Middle State oil Com pany
 Then you are not going back into 1 |politics?" he was asked Hell, mo-" was his vigorous reply.
 I'm going to keep right on working
 six days a week, going to ball games and enjoying myself in my leisure hours"
 But how do you like the obscurity of New York life after all the popu- larity you have enjoyed?" was the next question.
 "I like it fine. I'm entirely satisfied to be a little toad in a big puddle. It has its advantages"
