 My position today is just where it has been for months past. l have repeatedly stated that if the convention sees fit to nominate me would not refuse thn nomination. I know nothing about that pro- posed nomination for state treas urer except what I read in the newspapers.

 Mr, Wadhams was asked if inc plan 10 nominate him for state treasurer was agreeable, and he re- piled:
 NO. would not look for that nomination. l believe it has been promised to another man anyway"
 The Register says that Senator Rogers is the man whose name is mentioned for treasurer and who is expected to be nominated.

LA TOILETTE HITS
 HIGH LIVING COST
Tells Labor Chiefs It Is a
 Fundamental Issue"

Washington, Sept, S,-Addressing
 group of labor leaders, who assem- led here today to discuss ways and means of cooperating in support of he independent presidential ticket, 'cnator La Toilette declared that
 one of the fundamental issues in 'his campaign is the high cost of wing as it was in 1912. when Wood Dw Wilson clearly defined it in un- i'rstandable terms"
 Shall the people of America con- inuc to be subjected to the control
 f the special interests which crack rhc whip in the corridors of the capi- lo. swagger in the White House, lictate appointments in the cabinet, and control the markets of the "ountry?" asked Mir, La Toilette. These powers have been in con- rol. otherwise we would not have 1ad d Palmer or Daugherty in the
 ouncils of the nation"
 Asserting Tlat the coming election will show whether the American geope are strong enough to re- possess themselves of the govern iAent, originally designed for then" |" Mr. La Toilette declared there had been a false basis of reckoning the advance in living costs adopted in the campaign"
 Living costs" he said, started to mount in 1897, artificially increas- cd by the high tariff law and the strangling of competition. We should therefore compare the buying pow CT of the dollar today with what it was then. If we do we find forty cents in 190Oawould buy more neces- sities of life than $1 will purchase now"
 Warren S Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin- eers, presided at the conference. Those in attendance included D. B., Robertson of the Railway Firemen and Enginemen: Timothy Healy of the Bremen and Oilers; B. M. Jew ell, head of the Railroad Shop Crafts: Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor; F.. J. Manion of the Railway Tele- graphers: l.. E. Sheppard of the Railway Conductors; H.

PRINCE MOTORS
 TO MITCHELL FIELD
Will Greet World AViatOrS on
 Their Arrival

syosse,. N. Y, Sept. S-Th. Prince of Wales motored to Mtchc Field this afternoon to greet tn, American world ayiators.
 His presence on the flying Gcb was to be unofficial. however, for h, will be there not as the British rep resentatiye but as Edward Windsor one of the thousands who partici pate in welcoming the airmen.
 Great Britains formal and oticia congratulations to the birdmen wiD be extended by Sir Esme Howard the British ambassador. Tn, Prince, with his secretary, Capt, A F. LascclIes, will join Sir Esm, after motoring to Mitchcl Field iron the James A, Burden home, l2 miles distant, where his highucss is quartered.
 Having foregone his usual before breakfast exercise, the Emile iaun. by motor was the Princes first rec reatloh of the day. He had retired according 10 Captain Lascelles. "a: the usual hour." By this the cap tain meant a. m., when the Prime, reached the Burden mansion afte q dinner at the Piping Rock club Sir Bsme's guest at party for th, British and American polo teams and dancing at Glen Head.
 Wales planned, after participating in the welcome to the fliors, to drive to the w. R. Grace estate for some play with his polo ponies.
 Captain LasCelles said today that the Prince would auction his ponies, with those of the American and British polo teams, at the Will liam Post Field on September 16.
 The Prince, he explained, planned to spend four or five months in South Africa, beginning next May and he is selling his ponies because when his present holiday ends he will have little chance for polo for some time.
 The captain asserted that Wales "certainly isn't a beau4 brummel" and that he pays no more attention tp clothes than the average man.
 Captain Lascelles pointed out that, while the Prince naturally possesses quite a few suits of clothes because of his obligation to attend functions of varied character he has alter mated between two gray suits dur ing most of the time since he boarded the Berengaria en route to America
 The Prince, having got into good shape on the polo field and cxer- cised daily in the swimming pool on the James A. Burden estate, where he is staying, is expected soon to take another form of country gen. tlman sport on Long Island-fox hunting. He paid a visit to the kennels of the Meadowbrook Hunt club yesterday and looked over the English and American hounds and hunting horses with great interest.
 The hunting season on LonG Island has just begun, and a chase in which some of the princes party participated a few days ago brought in two foxes. His Royal Highness is very fond of mounting a hunter and riding across country jumping fences and ravines, and it is likely that he will try his skill with the Long Island rail fences within d few days.
 While His Highness has thorough ly enjoyed his stay on Long Island, with its unexamped facilities for the kind of sports he likes best, it is considered extremely unlikely that he would remain after next Sunday, his scheduled day of departure, even though the polo matches should require a third days play to settle the contest.
