CONFIDENT HE WILL WIN Though Roosevelt Says Nothing, He Is Believed to Oppose Turning Down Man Who Dodged Bosses' Halter. NEW YORK, Aug-. 3. Chairman Hitchcock, of the Republican National Committee, today . conferred with Wil liam K. Ward, the member of the com mute from New York, but declined to be drawn Into an expression of opinion concerning; the nomination that should be made for the Governorship of this state. The g-eneral Impression Is that the Federal administration would be opposed to the turning? down of Gov ernor Hughes for a second term, and that Mr. Hitchcock holds the same view, but he has refused to discuss the question with anyone. It is believed here that, in the ab sence of some statement showing the preference of President Roosevelt or Mr. Taft. Mr. Hughes will be able to carry the coming state convention, and that Mr. Hitchcock is placing his de pendence on this assumption. His friends ay that, so long as this situa tion remains In force, there Is no need for him to alter his determination to say nothing. The management of the New York headquarters of the Republican Nation al Committee in the absence of Mr. Hitchcock will be in the hands of Vic tor L. Mason, of Passaic, N. J., who was appointed today assistant secre tary of the committee. This position Is Identical with that held four years ago by Mr. Hitchcock, when he was the chief assistant to Chairman Cor telyou. Mr. Hitchcock Intends to direct the work In all parts of the country, but will name a vice-chairman later, who will be In charge at Chicago when Mr. Hitchcock Is not there. The head quarters of Secretary Elmer Dover also will be In Chicago. TAFT CANS SOME SPEECHES Talks Into Phonograph and Ar ranges to Address Virginians. HOT SPRINGS. Va.. Aug. 3. W. H.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y.'. Aug. 3. In the matter of the dismissal of the eight cadets from the Military Academy for hazing. President Roosevelt has taken no final action, according to the fol lowing statement issued through his assistant secretary. Rudolph Foster, th's afternoon: "No action whatever has been taken by the President In the case of the cadets, the statements that they were originally ordered dismissed and that they had been ordered kept being equally erroneous. An appeal was or iginally made to the President to In terfere. He declined to take any action or to Interfere In any way until the Secretary of War had expressed his opinion, the view of the department then being, seemingly, that the cadets should be turned out, but the Secretary not having come to any final decision. "The Secretary then notified the President that. Instead of making any report, he would like to discuss the matter with President Roosevelt In person. He accordingly came and the discussion was held, but no final deci sion was reached, the Secretary stating that he was not able to make a final and definite recommendation as to all the cases and preferred to make none until he could know the full facts. President Roosevelt has not yet heard finally from the Secretary and. there fore, of course he came to no final decision. This Is the first statement the President has made in the matter, and has come to no definite conclusion ex cepting that he will probably . follow the views of the department." Secretary Wright, after his visit to the President last Saturday, stated that the cadets would be reinstated in their classes at West Point. The President's secretary, William Loeb, Jr., shortly after the endtts had been suspended, announced that the President had ap proved the recommendation that the cadets be dismissed and that the only way for them to get back to the academy . would be through Congres sional action.

The nearest approach to a 6ea serpent ever seen on these shores Is a hideous creature killed today, after a terrible fight, by the captain of the launch Roser Anita, eight miles south of this port. It Is about ten feet long, nearly three feet in circumference, black as coal, with a wide mouth and powerful Jaws tlt swung back in a ghastly manner and closed like a vise while the teeth made a grinding noise that could he heard a hundred yards. Wicked little yellow eyes gleamed in the dark head like electric light bulbs, saya the man who killed the monster. The ugly thing resembles somewhat a gigantic eel. It became fastened on a large hook, with which Ruser and his crew w-re Ashing in deep water, and Instead of waiting to be pulled up made a dash for the surface and bumped menacingly against the launch as It rushed around. Rifles and knives were brought into play, but bullets seemed to have no effect, not even drawing blood, and It was almost impossible to make a thrust with a blade. Once the jaws of the serpent closed on a knife with a metallic ring that made all hands shiver, and the blade came out broken in two. In an hour and a half the unclassified monster was dispatched.
