Believes Smith Won't Run
Il wish to say that in suggesting
the names mentioned | am doing so
under the belief that Ex-Governor
Smith will not reconsider the decision
which | understand he has recently
made not to allow his name to be
presented as candidate for Governor
or for United States Senator. But
if he can be prevailed upon to re-
consider it, it is my candid opinion
that no man in the state could de
Governor.
81 am going TO bc perfectly frank in
admitting taat if All Smith declines to
be a candidate Mr.. Hearst nomination.

Hylan Makes Conners Laugh
When it was recalled that Mr., Hearst
had expressed a preference for Mayor
tlylan for Governor Mr.. Conners
laughed softly, and said:
Mr.. Hylan is a good man. but We
want Hearst for Governor because of
the principles he stands fer. Hylan
thinks pretty much as Mr.. Hearst
thinks, and he might make good run
AS a candidate for Governor, but
Hearst is the man"
Mr.. Conners, who insists that oppo-
sition does not disconcert him, and
that he likes it, has been in town the
greater part of week on a still hunt
for Hearst strength. He has not been
able yet. so far as could be learned
yesterday, to make connection or
working alliance with Charles f. Mur-
ply, the. Tammany leader.
Ihe net result of his still hunt fp.
aid is revolt of tho Wilson men.
The Buffalo statesman ycsterda Y
learned that former Judge Samuel Sea
bury, OF the Court of Appeals. is wait
ing for Mr.. Hearst to stick his political
head out of his dugout, All which in
stant he will rcccive the same sort OF
q barrage that hurled him out of the
political scenery at Saratoga in 1918
when the judge got the convention
unanimously to pass resolution aimed
at Hearst as a trucker with our
country's enemies
All Set for Trouble
Judge Seabury has been quietly at
work around the state sounding the
sentiment of the county leaders, and it
was learned yesterday that he is pre-
pared to begin warfare on Hearst as
soon as the publisher indicates that he
is candidate for an. thing.
When Kelley, the leader Of Onon-
daga, was asked in Syracuse yester-
day about the possible success of Mr..
Hearst as a candidate he said:
"All that Hearst and Conners need
to do is to send few people upstate
and ask questions Of Democrats. They
will very soon find out that the senti-
ment is very strong against the nomi-
nation of Mr. Hearst"
Edwin Corning, chairman of the ex-
ecutiTc committee of the Albany County
Democratic organization. announced
yesterday that Representative Peter G.
Ten Eych, Of Albany, would have the
backing Of the Albany County delegates
in the next state convention. Mir. Corn
in2s early announcement was precipi
tated by the Hearst boom. Mr. Corn
ing believes that Albany, Schenectady
and possibly Rensselaer,, will all be in
line for Ten Eyck. This early move by
to former Governor Martin H. Glynn, a
Hearst man, that Glynn will have to
fight for whatever Hearst support he
can marshal in Albany County. Repre-
sentative Ten Eyck recently announced
that he would not be a candidate for
Congress the coming fall. Asked about
the Hearst boom yesterday, Mr. Corn
ing said:
"As far as know, there is no Hearst
sentiment here"
Ionkers Leader on Fence
Michael J. Walsh, former Mayor Of
Yonkers and former Deputy State
Comptroller, who rules the Democratic
organization in Wesrchcster County,
declared yesterday that he had not de-
cided either for or against Hearst.
"l could not speak for the organiza-
ton anyway" he added. at has not
taken any stand on candidates."
Il is rather generally conceded by
local politicians that if by any chance
Mr. Hearst could get the Democratic
nomination and beat the Republican
candidate for Governor this year he
might control the next Democratic Ma
tlonal Convention and smash the Will
son control Of the organization
Locally there is no longer any doubt
that My. Hearst, through Mayor Hylan.
is shaping the issues for the Cover
norship campaign. and that, win or
lose, the big argument in this city will
be municipal operation and ownership
of public utilities, as against Gov
ernor Miller's declared policy of uni
fcatien of all the lines and five-cent
fare. The Governor is to speak to the
New York Republican County Commit
tee at Town Hall OH Friday of this
week, and it is understood that he will
