NATIONAL c. OF.
FORCES SHIFT IN
. NEW YORK STATE
Loss of Senator and Gov
ernor Arouses Republic
an Leaders.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-Having
lost the senatorship and permitted
the Democrat, Governor AL Smith to
run up another victory, the New
York State organization of the Re-
publican party is now undergoing
change of leadership demanded by
national party leaders.
Senator James w. Wadsworth, Re
publican, New York, defeated for re-
election in November by the Demo
crat, Robert F. Wagner, has been
considered the head of the party in
the State for the last few years. He
headed the New York State delega-
ton at the Republican National con-
vention of 1924 and with the assist
ance of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton, spiked the vice presidential
plans of some national party lead
ers.
1t is considered certain that Wads-
worth will sometime in the future
return to the Senate or a higher ma
tional office. He is yet young in
years and the general expectation
here is that he will run against SEN
ator Copeland Dem.) New York, in
1928. Despite this prospect, how
ever, moves have been made to en-
courage fresh leadership of the party
VI the State.
Charles D. Hilles, Republican ma,
tional committeeman of New York
was recently named as chairman of
the State organization to rebuild for
the 1928 presidential campaign. He
succeeds William l.. Ward of West
chester County. His first duty will
be to patch up the party split which
resulted in the November campaign
over the party stand on the wet and
dry issue. Hilles is regarded as en-
tirely acceptable to the drys who
rebelled against the designation of
Wadsworth, wet, as senatorial can
1idate.
Wadsworth has given no indication
feated Republican gubernatorial can
didate, has been nemed assistant sec
rotary of treasury since his defeat
and this position may add to his in
ffuence in the party by giving him
certain patronage.
1t is generally believed that Hilles,
and perhaps Mills, will take the place
of Wadsworth as party leader and
that either one or both of them will
be- in charge of the all important
New York State delegation at the
next Republican national convention.
