Strong Pressure Being Brought to Bear to Have Ex-Secretary Run for Governor. Now York, Sept. 2. Tho guberna torial problem seems as far from Its solution as it was a month ago. N6 body seems to worry particularly over the question who the democratic can didate will be, but tho question whom the republicans will nominate for tho governorship, seems to trouble the minds of tho politicians n great deal, Kx-Secretary Root, who would un doubtedly bo tho strongest candidate, does not want the nomination and has expressed himself In most unequivo cal terms. For a whiio tho Root boom was In a state of collapse and a great deal was said and writ ten about "dark horso," which Gover nor Odell was supposed to hnvo ready. Quite recently, however, tho tnlk about Root's possible candidacy has been resumed nnd It is not believed Impossible, that tho ex-secretnry may change his mind nnd accept the nom ination, for tho sake of saving tho national ticket. It is generally bolloved thnt tho most powerful pressure Is being exert ed to induco Mr. Root to reconsider his determination not to nccopt tho nomination,, oven if the convention should select him against his clearly expressed wishes.
