Opposing Calder, but None
Against Miller.

to Charles f. Murphy. Tammanv
leader. that they do not want William
r.. Hearst on the State ticket next
autumn. The political scouts on the
outposts have reported that it would
be almost a hopeless fight to try to
eject Hearst.
The upstate Democracy, which is
completely dominated by Tammany
is not in the habit of serving ulti-
matums on Tamnany but It's leaders
are of one mind in advising agains.
putting Hearst on the ticket as nomi
nee for either Governor or United
States Senator.
Another development of the last
few days in the tangled Democratic
situation Is that many of the old Tam
many leaders have made it clear they
are not in favor Of Sacrificing Alfred
r. Smith by nominating him for Gov
crnor, having become convinced that
1t is doubtful whether he could defeat
Governor Miller. They do think that
Mr.. Smith could win In a contest
against William. M. Calder as Repub-
Hcan nominee for United States Sena-
tor and the Smith contingent in the
organization is now urging the selec-
tion OF "Al' for the Senatorial pos.
instead Of considering him for the
Governcrship.
Expect MiIIer's Reconciliation.
1t appears to be accepted by the Dem
ocratic managers both In New York and
UP state that Gov. Miller will be the Re-
publican nominee to succeed himself,
although he has been careful to make 1t
clear that he has not made up his mind
on the subject. 1t also is taken for
granted that Senator Calder will be re-
nominated.
4, All the reports from UP State agree
that the Governor has been gaining
strength steadily for the last few weeks,
following the adjournment OF the Legis-
lature. in the districts where he did not
show much strength two years ago. The
political advantage appears to lie with
the Governor and his organization. They
have the record OF achievements OF the
united and the opposition is torn by sew
eral partisan conflicts.
Hearst's personal attitude toward a
nomination remains as much a mystery
as ever. His now political union, formed
supposedly to unite the dissatisfied Dem
ocratic elements up State and give the
publisher club for the campaign, has
made little progress.
Hearst Strength In Albany.
One upstate scout has reported that
some Albany county Democrats are urg-
ing the nomination Of Hearst for Senator
and Martin TT. Glynn for Governor. but
outside of Albany the idea has found lit
tie response. In fact. ii is said by no
means to be the united opinion OF the
Albany Democrats, now in power in that
city for the first time in twenty-five
years. and Is said to be confined mainly
to a coterie OF Mr.. Glynn's friends. This
proposition runs counter to the interests
OF the Democrats in the adjoining county
OF schenectady, where the party organi-
zation is urging Mayor George Lunn as
available for either OF the two important
nominations.
The revolt started in Tammany
against Hearst domination following the
return of Thomas f. Foley. appears toI
have resulted already in solidifying the
opposition TO the publisher IL Hearst
Toes after the nomination for either big
buce or threatens TO bolt a nomination
he probably will still hold the veto
bower.
Tho Tammany and upstate organiza-
lions are In total disagreement regard
sng the wisdom OF nominating Mr.. Smith
for Governor. The Democratic leaders
hutside OF the city insist that Smith is
their strongest candidate. and that he
must run for Governor without trying to
discount the possibilities OF winning.
Democrats Digging had Hole.
BY insisting that Smith Is the only
man who can beat the Governor. Tam

Politicians In all parties are watch
ing closely the outcome OF the special
election In the Thirty-seventh District
tomorrow to select a representative to
succeed A. r. Houghton. recently APP
pointed Ambassador to Germany. The
soldier bonus and state prohibition en-
forcement are issues. The Republican
record OF the last two years is also an
issue

Irvine has denounced the soldier bonus.

mont on State authority. Henry is up
holding President Harding.
The district includes the Republican
counties OF the southern tier. Steubcn.
Schuyler. Tompkins. Tioga and Che
rnung. J. Sloat Fassctt is the strongest
Republican leader In the district. One
interesting development will be to show
how many wet Republicans will leave
their party on a straight partisan issue

Judge fryines denuncIation or the

great response IN some sections OF the
district This may have a decided bear
ing on the state campaign.
