Announcement That He
Will BE Candidate Again
Is Expected Soon.
CALDER FIXES UP FENCES
Troubles in Democratic Camp
Because of Hearst Become
Worse.

Gov. Miller went back to Albany
last evening after comforting all day
in the Republican Club with State and
city leaders, fully aware that he is
the unanimous choice of his party in
this State for denomination next
autumn. Although this fact was inn
pressed upon him from all quarters
his lips We're still closed on the sub
ject. He has not made up his mind
what he will do, but the leaders are
OF one mind-that Re will be com
PEELED to yield to the demand that he
run again Formal announcement on
the subject may come from the Gov
ernor soon.
Senator Calder is the lone entry to
date in the contest for the Republican
nomination for Senator Tie Repub-
lican leaders say they are almost
certain the ticket will be Miller and
Calder. There is some opposition to
Calder in spots up State but no can
didate has appeared against him. The
Senator has been up State recently
fixing his fences and appears to have
the nomination clinched. Some of
the up State leaders reported that
Calder was not particularly popular
in their districts. but there is nothing
special against him and no one has
appeared to oppose him.
Not After Another Term.
The Governors attitude was made
clear to the leaders. He does not want
10 take another term in Albany II he
can see any way out If it appears
reasonably certain that the Republican
party WIFI win. II is believed the Gov
ernor will not take another nomination.
but II 1t is to be hard fight, with odds
against his party, 1t is believed the
Governor may consider it his duty to
run.
George w. Aldridge of Rochester, Re-
publican dictator in Monroe county and
now Collector of the Port of New York
is strong for Mr.. Miller. So is William
L. Ward of Westminster. They were
agreed yesterday with the New York
county leaders who talked over the sit
uation that they should pay no atten-
ton to the Governors refusal to an
nounce his candidacy. They all mp
peared to take II as settled that The
Governor would run again, although II
was admitted he had not given the
word himself.
Reports brought from Albany, SYRIA
cuse. Rochester and Buffalo were to
the effect that the Governor had been
growing stronger every day since the
last Legislature adjourned. The New
York men said that opposition to tho
Governor here was fading slowly now
that the Transit Commissions work and
his transit policy are beginning to show
results. That opposition Is credited az
due almost entirely to the transit issue
and it is believed 1t will disappear by
autumn.
Half dozen district leaders called at
the Republican Club TO see the Governor
about their own troubles. George Glyrn.
State Chairman, was at the club all day
and conferred with some of the upstate
leaders The campaign appears to be
getting away to an early start.
Miller Sentiment Up stntc.
From Rochester came word that Aid
ridge and his organization In Monroe are
q unit IN backing Miller and Calder. The
Rochester man Is one of Callers strong
est supporters in the State organization.
The drys in the State are against Cal
der because of his outspoken advocacy of
modifying the Volstead act to provide
for light wines ard beer. This stand has
won him support in the cities, especially
in the Albany district, Syracuse and
Buffalo, but the Anti-Saloon League Is
getting ready to make an issue Of 1t ard
that may cause the Senator some trou-
BILE. IL would not be surprising II the
drys were to name ~ candidate OF their
own for United States Senator against

Whatever weaknesses Calder may have
appear to be offset by the fact. that
Adridge Is his chief lieutenant
The Republican leaders found much
comfort yesterday In the troubles besct-
ting Tammany. The Democrats appear
to be heading foe all kinds of complica-
tions. with w. u. Hearst I'm the role of
chief trouble maker.
Hearst Has Tnmmany Guessing.
Tamnany men don't Know whether
Hearst Is serious In his candidacy or Is
merely trying 60 get a following to use
as a CLUB. He has the Democratic lead
crs worried. Tho anti-Hearst faction IN
Tammany Hall Is urging Charles It.
Murphy 10 take an open stand against
tho publisher.
There is little or no Hearst sentiment
IN half n dozen big upstate counties. ac-
cording TO reports made yesterday. This
appears TO contradict the assertions ~
William J. Ccnnsrs. the Hearst manager,
that tho Democrats above the Bronx are
demanding Hearst
Judge Frank Irvine OF Rochester Is
looked upon favorably Ia the central part
Of the state as a candidate for Senator
on the Democratic ticket and Mayor
George r. Lunn OF Schenectady has a
considerable following for the nominal
ton for Governor. The upstate Demo-
Gratis believe that Hearst Is trying TO
work up some sentiment for himself that
he may swing Il to Bunn In the conven-
ton and freeze out Alfred r.. Smith or
any other Tammany favorite.
