HUGHES
DECISION
STRIKES DISMAY
Machine Men View With Alarm
Governor's Intention to
Run for Re-election.
"BILLY" BARNES BLAMED
Execntlve Decides He Can Insure
Carrying Out of His Reform
Measures Only by Staying at
Helm Another Four Years.
BT I.UDTD F. LOXER8AS.
NEW YORK. July 30. (Special.)
Republican machine leaders are blaming-
Billy Barnes, of Albany, because
Governor Charles Evans Hughes lias
decided to remain in the political arena.
The Governor's statement that he will
accept a renominatlon "if the people
want me has filled them with dismay.
For the "practical men"- who most bit
terly dislike him are the very ones who
candidly admit his great strength with
the voters.
As already stated in The Oresfonlan,
Hughes was willing- to retire If he re
reived satisfactory promises that re
forms he favored would be enacted Into
laws. Parsons, of New York, gave as
surances; State Chairman Woodruff, of
Brooklyn, was willing to promise any
thing, in or out of reason, and the only
stumbling block was Barnes.
- Barnes Said Rough Things.
For Barnes said Hughes had disrupt
ed the party, that the legislation he
demanded was ridiculous, and advised
Ignoring anything the Governor might
say or do. and nominating a straight
out machine ticket.
Parsons and Woodruff tried to sup
press Barnes, at least until after elec
tion. They met with some success, and
were horrified when Hughes exploded
his bombshell and entered the lists for
the nomination.
The Governor's friends say that the
reason he made up his mind to continue
in office was because of the "thousands
of letters'" he had received from all
quarters of the state. This was only a
minor consideration, however. The real
cause was that the Governor realized that
an attempt to hoodwink him was being
made by tricky politicians.
Sees Willcox, Then Announces.
It is an Interesting fact that this
most important local political an
nouncement was made a few hours
after the Governor had been in consul
tation with William R. Willcox. chair
man of the Public Service Commission
of the First District.
Mr. Willcox Is one of half a dozen
Intimates who have been carefully can
vassing the situation," under orders.
"Governor Hughes does not believe in
hasty action. Before he decides on any
particular line of policy, he wants to
know all that Is possible on the sub
ject. And he is Interested In the prob
able fate of the reform legislation with
which his administration Is identified.
The Governor does not use slang, but
he knows what "the double cross"
means, and he has been satisfied he
was slated to be the victim.
How Hughes Was Won Over.
His ti lends told him there was abso
lutely no intention of passing the bills
he demanded, as the legislators would
simply ignore the "orders" of their
leaders. The only way he could be cer
tain of success, they said, would be for
him to remain "on the Job." and finally
he was brought around to their way
of thinking.
Ah already stated, the Governor
wants the passage of a direct nomina
tions law. and a thorough revision of
the election laws which have been en
acted In the interest of machine control
in both parties.
Furtheremore Hughes feelB that a
Governor friendly to the Republican
state machine would not be friendly to
his Public Service Commission law. He
believes If he could have two years
more of service this law by that time
will have Justified Itself beyond cavil,
and no party would dare to interfere
with its operation.
Warns Whack at Kelsey.
Another matter that Interests Gover
nor Hughes is the fact that the term
of Otto Kelsey as State Superintendent
of liMrnj-ance will expire on February
11 next. Ever since he went to Albany
Hughes has been trying to oust Kelsey,
and in addition to It being a public
duty, he would regard it as a personal
pleasure to name another man to run
this highly Important department. For
the Governor believes that the right
man In that place would be bound to
accomplish lasting reforms.
No Money In Office.
The reason Governor Hughes at firBt
did not desire to run again was purely
personal. He wanted to return to his
law practice, as he had expected that
the last legislature would enact all of
his pet measures. Then again, being
Governor was rather an expensive
honor. The salary is 110.000 a year.
Last year the Governor spent $23,500
In maintaining the dignity and honor
of the office of the Chief Executive of
the Empire State.
Should he serve four years, this
means that the $1iO.00O "rainy day
fund" which a friend Intimated Mr.
Hughes had when he became Governor
will be cut In half. Senator Agnew in
troduced a bill last Winter Increasing
the Governor's salary from $10,000 to
$25,000. but the Senate defeated the
measure when It came up on final
passage.
The re-election of Govfrnor Hughes
would mean he would have the naming
of a state racing commission In May,
110. This naturally would not overjoy
the bookmakers, who regard the Gov
ernor as their enemy.
Hughes' Course of Reasoning.
It Is no secret that Chairman Wood
ruff and the county leaders associated
with him feel they must get a Gov
ernor of their own selection If their
control of the state machine is to con
tinue. Apparently the Governor Is of
the same opinion. Lacking a primary
direct nominations law. through which
he believes his nomination would be
demanded by the voters of the Repub
lican party, the Governor makes his
position known thus early In the fight,'
In order to put the matter directly up
to the "organisation" leaders. In the
opinion of Governor Hughes' advisers
there is no question of the outcome, and
they predict a renominatlon. in view of
the caliber of those at present in con
trol of the Republican party In the
state.
Jt Is the general opinion that both
President Roosevelt and William H.
Taft are pleased with the Governor's
determination, as they regard him as
th strongest candidate who could be ,
named. Voters are satisfied with the
honesty and earnestness of Hughes,
and are likely to condone any faults
that may have been committed during
his administration.
Bossism to Be Issue.
Everybody knows what the principal
planks in the Governor's platform will
be. In public speech and privately
during the past 18 months the Gov
ernor has strongly condemned political
party boss ism.
It was on this Issue he fought, and
won out In the short, sharp campaign
he conducted In the Niagara - Orleans
Senatorial district prior to the special
election called as a result of the defeat
of the Governor's anti-race-track bills.
The great majority of the Republican
leaders refuse to be quoted on the local
political situation. Congressman Wil
liam S. Bennet Is one of the few ex
ceptions to the rule. He is the leader
of the Nineteenth Assembly district,
Manhattan. Mr. Bennet says:
Can Have It ir He Wants It.
"If Govei nor Hughes wants the nom
ination. In my opinion, he will get It.
f do not think there will be much. If
any. opposition to his renominatlon.'
Another prominent leader, who per
sonally opposes Hughes, was asked If
the' pronounced hostility of many active
machine men to the Governor might
not produce a Kilkenny fight In the
jtate convention. He replied:
"The Chicago convention of 1904 was
not altogether a peacerul affair. A
majority of the leaders did not take
kindly to the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt at that time. And yet. after
he had been nominated the people,
much to the politicians' disgust gave
him the greatest popular majority that
any President has received In recent
years. It would seem to be a good
thing for a candidate these days to
have a repu cation of having been hard
on the bosses."
Barnes Expected to Calm.
Although William Barnes, Jr.. of Al
bany, Is one of the most formidable
opponents to the renominatlon of the
Governor, he Is expected to calm down
before the convention meets. Those
who know Mr. Barnes best declare that
he Is enough of a politician and a
party man to sink his personal dislike
of the Governor, should Mr. Hughes be
come the choice of the Republican state
convention for the Gubernatorial nom
ination. Post Eulogizes Hughes.
The Evening Post, Independent Demo
crat, devotes over a column to a eulogy
of Hughes. Here are a few extracts:
Ever since his election he has ffven to
late and country an Invaluable lesson in
what Is the propar attitude of an executive.
He has compromised with not a single poli
tician: ha has allied himself with no fac
tion, and in office has forgotten whether he
was a Democrat or Republican. His appoint
ments to office hive been made for merit
Imply. In brief, he has been the Governor
or all the people of the state, doing precisely
what he considered to be right, without the
slightest regard for consequences. He has
gathered the strength and satisfaction that
ever come with unselfish labor: and It is a
pleasure to record that his straightforward
devotion has been recognized and appre
ciated the country over. He ha been the
poorest self-advertiser the country has In
high ofrlca today. He has resolutely re
fused to become a sensationallat when suc
cessful political sensations were the order
of the day.
That Mr. Hughes can win an Immediate
and effective response from the bulk of our
citizenship Independent of party is known.
That the machine is against hftn Is all too
plain. He Is to be loved, like Orover Cleve
land, for the enemies he haa made. Wall
street we know shakes Its head over htm
as a "reactionary"; eminent corporation
lawyers .assure us that Mr. Hughes is a pcor
lawyer, and a worse political leader a dem
agogue, we have even heard him termed. As
for men of the Aldridge. Woodruff. Barnes
Ilk. their language about him we know is
not fit for print. To them he is a oazy
man a politician who will not play the
game according to their rules: who bows
down neither to the Federal nor to the
state machine; who dickers with no one.
and cares not a Jot what becomes of him.
and accepts defeat with apparently greater
serenity - than victory. Mr. ttugnes, ir
chosen, will be nominated against their
every wish. Yet we do not see ho even
they can prevent It.
- Mr. Hughes Is a vote-getter wherever he
goes. Independent lcmocrats everywhere
admire and respect mm as tney do not
Mr. Taft. the echo of Theodore Roosevelt.
Nothing would do so much to insure Mr.
Taft's success as the Governor's renomina
tlon. But were this otherwise. It would
still be to the best Interests of the party
an of the state to renominate and re
elect Mr. Hughes.
The Evening Post, In this Instance
anyway, fairly reflects the attitude of
the Independent voters of the state.
A poll of the Republican leaders.
were they to speak their minds quite
freely, would disclose an overwhelming
majority bitterly opposed to the con
tinuance of Governor Hughes and his
policies. On the other hand they are
aware of the strong sentiment among
the rank and file in favor of his re
nominatlon, and dare not run counter
to it.

Kcacly to Handle Crops.
Reports made by Portland bankers In

be bandied with ease. All the city
banks are In excellent shape to advance
whatever funds may be necessary to
move the crops, but the demand from
country banks for accommodations prom
ises to fall below that of former years.
It has been the practice of interior
banks In years past to call on city In
stitutions not only for their balances, to
a great exent. at this season of the year,
but to do considerable redlseounting of
bills in order to provide the necessary
currency to move grain crops expedi
tiously.
This year It ls reported that the banks
of the Interior have been getting ready
for the present time for the last few
months and have accumulated more than
the usual amount of cash In their vaults.
City banks regard this as a good stroke
of business on the part of tbeir corre
spondents, as It distributes the cash funds
to points where needed without disturb

that only outside Interests can intervene

NEW YORK. July SI. The Brother

for which Charles Savage, a negro. Is

After trailing the woman to Leaven

Federal building and asked permission
to see her son. This was granted and
it was honed that through the conver

the money was made by either the wom
an or her son.
Suit to Enjoin Xew York Police
Ignominlously Kails :Grand Jury
Lays Ugly Facts Before
Governor Hughes.
NEW YORK. July 31. An application
made by the Coney Island Jockey Club
for an Injunction restraining Police Com
missioner Bingham and his subordinates
"from interfering with the assemblage of
orderly persons on the race track" at
Sheepshead Bay was denied today by
Justice Blanchard in the Supreme Court.
The Justice said:
"It is the settled law of the state that
it Is the duty of the police to enforce the
law and prevent its infraction. Their
duty is not merely to arrest those who
are guilty of crimes. It is also their duty
to prevent crime and this duty is quite
as important as the duty of punishing
crime after it has been committed."
Bearing an official copy of the present
ment, made by the grand Jury today, ex
posing conditions at the tracks. Acting
District Attorney Elder left today for
Saranac Lake, where he will confer with
Governor Hughes on the race track sit
uation. The Governor has made an ap
pointment to meet Mr. Elder tomorrow
at Saranac Inn. Mr. Elder will submit
to the Governor a huge bundle of affi
davits and evidence of law breaking that
has come' Into his possession recently.
Law Flagrantly Broken.
Recommendation that Governor Hughes'
attention be called to the conditions exist
ing at the Brighton Beach and Sheeps
head Bay racetracks, and charges that
there has been systematic and flagrant
violations of the new antl-gambling law,
are made In a presentment handed down
by the Kings County grand Jury today.
The grand jury also recommends that the
attention of the Governor be called to
the special laws under which the race
tracks now are operating and that the
provision of law permitting the racing
associations to employ special police
men should be repealed. It is asserted
In the presentment that under the laws
permitting the employment of special
policemen it has been impossible for
the authorities to close the grounds
of the association, which action would
have been possible otherwise "because
of the lawless character" In which the
racing grounds were conducted.
The grand jury says that its present
ment is based on evidence laid before
it and also upon personal Investigation
made by committees appointed by the
grand jury. This investigation dis
closed, the presentment says, that op
portunities for gambling were among"
the attractions which the managers of
the racecourse relied upon to attract
crowds to the tracks, and "we learn
that a very large percentage of the
gate receipts that constitute the In
come of these racing associations Is
the result of maintenance of gambling
on tho racecourses and of affording to
the public generally the opportunity to
come to the tracks and gamble on the
races." ,
Activity Suddenly Ceased.
The presentment declares that while
for a short period after the law went
into effect the police had been quite
active In suppressing and preventing vio
lations of the law, "At a certain period,
their activity ceased."
It says that the members of the grand
jury have no hesitation In saying that
the police departmeent at that tlm. was
not doing all It could have done to pre
vent the commission of crime on the
race courses.
The Brighton Beach Racing Association
which continued a racing meet at the
Brighton Beach track on Wednesday was
indicted by the grand jury today on a
charge of aiding gamblers to violate
the new antl-gambllng laws. Indictments
also were returned jointly with the asso- ,
elation against Christopher Fitzgerald, its
president; William Engman, a large
stockholder in the association, and John
G. Cavanaugh. ex-superintendent of the
betting ring. These men have previously
been indicted on similar charges.
MAY CRUSH FEDERATION
France Regards Labor Organization
as Menace to Government.
PARIS, July 31. The rioting at Vlgneux
yesterday has precipitated rather a se
rious situation, owing to the decision of
the Government to arr?st the leaders of
the General Federation of Labor and pos
sibly suppress the entire organization, on
the ground that it threatens public order.
The reports in the press agree that at
Vlgneux. the agitators deliberately Incited
their men to provoke bloodshed and that
the troops patiently submitted for hours
to Insults and stoning before they fired.
The conservative papers unite In demand
ing the suppression of the General Fed
eration of Labor as a revolutionary or
ganisation which is demoralizing the
country and terrorizing the people.
The organization Is expected to light
bitterly for its existence. During the
night the city was placarded with inflam
matory accounts of what Is called the
' Government's crime," calling for an ex
tension and prolongation of the strike.
