NEW YORK, July 51.-The fol-
DIVERS of Senator La Toilette and
enator Wheeler, the real new SEN
torial presidential oligarchy, rose
p today to remark that they, too,
re going to fight for New York
tate in the coming election. Fur
hermore, the progressives, as they
hll themselves now, are going to
hise funds in New York city to help
AIRY on their fight. 1t is asserted
h most positive fashion, however,
hat none of it will trickle in from
Nall Street.
State adherents of the La Toilette
Wheeler political merger are plan
ing to hold big convention in AL
amy in about two weeks, and there
as been some talk that they might
hdorse Mayor Hylan, of this city,
Fao is looking for g. demand to
pine from the people that he run
pr governor against AL Smith in
be event John w. Davis, the Dem
cratic presidential candidate, is sue
Iessful in getting FL TO stand for a
bird term. Mr.. Smith already has
|hrried the Democratic banner In
he state three times. twice success
billy, and is anxious to retire to
Irivate life, but national leaders of
b eparty ar einsistent that he make
Ae~6nore stand in an effort to
VS. the As votes of the Empire
ate into the Davis column.
HyIan Threatens Harmony
Mayor Hylan Is watching every
}ovement made by or in behalf of
sovernor Smith, and is holding out
$s own threat of an independent
Rndidacy as a means of discourag-
the Democrats in naming the
'pvernor a fourth time. The gov
5-nor and the mayor love each other
se a couple of strange bulldogs.
The La Follette-W Wheeler third par
coalition might be to the liking
the mayor, but the third party
Ieople~ themselves seem q bit dubl-
us about the mayor. They do not
how whether he would stay put or
bit, and most of the spokesman OF
e conglomeration Of forces arrayed
1nder the La Toilette banner are
esirous of putting one of their own
! en- at the head Of the state ticket
that there will be no danger OF
bmeone running away with the
krty at a. crucial moment in the
bmpaign.
The state conference for Progress
I've political action, which is still
he name the La Toilette following
ling to in this state, has decided
h an active program and. a full
late ticket There has been some
Xix that friends of Governor Smith
|nong the disaffected political ele-
lents gathering under the La Fol
lite flag may attempt to stampede
he Progressive convention into an
bdorsement of the governor for
bird time. These elements, how
yer, are finding the same opposi-
on which applies to Mayor Hylan.
Ind Endorsement of Al Smith, it is
rgued, might result in swallowing
b of the entire Progressive move
lent in New York and work to the
dvantage of Mr.. Davis and Prest-
Pnt Coolidge.
PrOgressives Spurred
The Progressives are being urged
greater efforts by the national
LADDERS at Washington. They are
eing told that the movement is
Rowing like wildfire, the country
yer, and there is no reason why
he flames of discomfort with the
vo old parties should not be famed
Ito full blaze here in the heart of
he conservative east. The Progress
Ives have been immensely pleased
nth the publicity they have been
etting and by the consideration /
Even them by the Republican and
democratic managers. The third
hrty is feeding fat upon the de-
being heaped> upon 1t
nd is gathering strength by the
republican announcement that it
iii draw its support from the Dem
crats and the Democratic state
bents that it will draw its support
rom the Republicans.
New England Republicans have
bme out with declarations that La
toilette will get his greatest vote
|mong the labor element in that
ection, which is said to be nor
hally Democratic. Democrats of
he middle country and the north
Test have predicted La Toilette
Fould get his greatest vote among
he Republican farmers. The La
toilette people are grinning at all
his and say it is evidence of ex
feme discontinue on the part of
he old line politicians.
