Republican leaders will have an
other conference this week in regard
TO the makeup of the State ticket.
There is no uncertainty about their
determination to renominate Gov. Mil
Ter. And, in spite Of the opposition in
some quarters to William NJ. Calder.
United States Senator, there seems to
be little likelihood that any effective
movement can be started against him.
But o the remainder OF the
icket, there exists a. vast amount of
une Gov. Miller's refusal to
penly in the position Of
or another term has placed
nm le strongest sort of vantage
place. Those who have talked with
him have reached the conclusion that
he is determined to have a strong
ticket If he is to run again. But it is
said he has refrained from talking
personalities. leaving the leaders to
work out the problem in their own
way
The result has been differences Of
opinion and cross-currents OF sentiment
as to the other men now serving as
state officials. To end this uncertainty
before the convention meets will be the
aim OF the coming conference.
The most widely credited story about
the ticket is that Col. William J. pono-
van Is slated" to succeed Jeremia,
Wood. Lieutenant Governor. OF Nassau.
as the candidate for that office this
year. The friends OF Wood have started
a tight 70 retain his name on the slate.
II is understood they have his approval
In their activities. but so far he has
declined to come out openly as a candi-
date for denomination.
Another problem is that OF Charles ID.
Newton. Attorney General. who is serv-
Ing his second term. He has a variety
OF interests that need his attention and
might have been willing 10 retire this
year. but the fact that certain leaders
wanted TO make him walk the plank
has aroused his dander. One leader
declared not long ago the Attorney Cen
eral could have a denomination IL ne
r.
ton has declined to say what he intends
to do. He will have no statement 10
make until next week he indicated when
he was in the city several days ago.
In the meantime. however. his friends
continue 70 seek support for him.
With William J. Maier. the State
Comptroller. II is said to be largely a
question as TO whether he will lay aside
a good business offer to run again.
The Governor is said to have been much
impressed with Maier's grasp of the
duties of the office.
Lyons Fight Brewing.
There seems to be little difference OF
opinion between the leaders and Frank
VI. Williams. who is serving out his
fourth term as State Engineer and Sur
veyor. that such length of service in a
State office is enough. Mr.. Williams
had intended some time ago to an
nounce his retirement. But so far, IL is
said, no man of prominence has come
forward as a candidate TO succeed Mr.
williams whose qualifications for the
Job are unquesuoned.
The lack OF cordiality between the
Governor and John J. Lyons. Secretary
OF State. is we'll known. He fought the
Governors program, which took away
from his office much of its patronage
and power. but It was a losing fight.
For some time after that he was seeking
a Presidential appointment in Wash
ington. having decided to resign. lie
did not get II. however. and is now
anxious to go back on the ticket with
Governor Miller, despite the fact he was
largely responsible for the failure OF
Henry II. Curran. the candidate for
Mayor last fall. to uphold the Cover
nor's hands on the transit and other
issues.
Lyons is fighter and may be ex-
pected to resist any attempt 10 dis
lodge him.
Under ordinary circumstance y. Mon
roe Marshal would rquestionably be
for State Treasurer. for
he is serving his first term and has no
opposition. II there Is to be a clean
slate" as some profess to believe. II
may bo considered necessary 20 pick
another candidate for that position.
