REPUBLICAN CHIEFS SHY AT WADSWORTH Prohibition and Suffrage En- mity Hurt Chances of , SO ItlVAL YET IN FIELD Senator's Supporters Dcclaro Anderson Hostility Will Prove an Asset. With th special session of Congress out or tho way Itepubllcan leadem In Ntw Tork Stnte have begun io take Re- count of stock In the organization here In order that they may deterrafno In Jurt what shape It Is going Into tho com- ing campaign. Representative Bertrand H. Snell. chairman of the executive committee of the State committee. In the last week started a series of conferences with the leaders to get their views, to map out a concrete policy .and to solvo some troublesome problems. The most pressing of these Is the ques- tion aa to whether the orcanlxatlon should back United States Senator James VT Wadsworth, Jr., for renomlnatlon. The open opposition of Miss Mary Gar- rett Hay, one of tho most powerfut suf-fra- ie leaders and an important cob In the women's end of the Republican has brousht this question to a focus. This and the fact that the League has announced Its STttrmlnatlon to do all In Us power to defeat Senator Wadsworth for renomlna- tlon have set the leaders to thlnklnc se- riously about tho question of his Miss Hay, who at tho State convention of the League of Women Voters In Utlcs Jut week was Influential In the passage Of a resolution opposing; 8cnator 'Wads-wort- h, declared yesterday there was not the slightest chance that her opposition would be withdrawn. \My chief con- cern,\ she added, \la to help elect a Re- publican to tho United States Senate Sut year. It Is the business of the Re- publicans of the Empire State to unite jpon a candidate who can bo elected. jlr Wadsworth cannot be elected. I feave been around this State n. good deal la the la6t few years and I know the sentiment of the voters, particular y the women voters. We might as well face the truth, for that Is the only thing that sndures. The truth Is that there axo enough voters In the state to defeat Senator Wadsworth even If he should survive In the Republican primaries. \A wholesome Democrat, believing: In Justice and progress, would overwhelmi- ngly defeat Senator Wadsworth. It Isn't the business of women voters to select the Republican candidate. Tho task Is for the men In charge of Re- publican affairs. They should seat to It at an early day.\ While ordinarily It would be consid- ered too early to talk about State candi- dacies, the question as to who Is to be the candidate for the United States Sen- ile Is more or less tied up with the contest for places on tho Stato ticket The moves on the Senate chess board have an effect on the entire situation. It Is for this reason that Representative Snell Is anxious to learn the views of the leading fitrurea In tho organization at this time. He already has had a long talk with Herbert Parsons. New York State member of the National Committee, and with the local leaders, In addition to some of those from up State. There Is also a question as to who shall be the fourth member of the \Big Four\ to the National convention. Miss Hay said yesterday the suggestion that he would not take this place If Senator VTadsworth was a member of the dele- gation was a silly one. Friends of Senator Wadsworth the opposition of tho Antl-Salc- League nnd of the suffrage leaders. They do not, however, admit that either or both of these forces are powerful enough to cause the party to turn him down for a renommation. iney ieclare that everywhere through the State that William H. Anderson of. the League opposed a candidate In the recent election, that man ran ahead of his ticket. They point to the victory of Representative Reuben L. Hnkell In Brooklyn, whore he was elected by a plurality of 80,000 on a straight wet issue. Dry All Behind Tickets. Conversely, the Wadsworth people say It to be a fact that every candidate for th Assnmhlv who hail the Indorsement ef tho Prohibition party ran behnd his ticket In practically every county. When It comes to the women, the friends of the United States Senator upress the belief that the suffrage lead- ers who are showing themselves so bit- ter toward him do not represent lie bulk of the women of the State. That the Senator believes this may bo taken for granted because he recently declared that he intended to continue his op- position to woman suffrage. In splto of the fact that the Federal amendment has pased Congress and has been sub- mitted for ratification. However, the tactics that are being followed by Mlta Hay are gtvln the Republicans no little concern. It Is generally conceded that she Is a clover and resourceful politician. Testimony to that fact has been given by both the State and the national organizations. Miss Hay Is a member of tho executive oommlttees, both State and national. But evidently Miss Hay does not con- ceive that this official position hampers her In any way In assisting In a move- ment among the women to secure the defeat of Senator Wadsworth for re- nomlnatlon. At the recent State conven- tion of the Women's party In Utlca, Miss Hay was one of the leaders In putting through a resolution against the Wads-\irt- h candidacy. Had it not been for her leadership the notation at Utlca would havo been aten in all probability. The fact that a woman so high In the councils of the organization thus openly JWoses Senator Wadsworth Is having ,11rf'ct- - She openly asserts that she not only work against him now. wit will continue her opposition should n bo the choice In the primaries. Thero no question as to the popularity of Senator Wadsworth anions the lenders. But many of them are beginning to won-- r whether It would be wise politics to ck him for renomlnatlon. Terson-- \ they believe he has made a good united States Senator and should go ?ck. Practically, they aro looking at ms possible renomlnatlon with an mind. Wad.Trorth \Mo.t Shotr U. \Many Of US are In thin nn!llnn \ of the more prominent leaders yes-i- t, fy \Ve Ilka Jl:n Wadsworth. Wo w.nk he ought to be kept In Washington, \it we want him to 'show us that he tan win.\ There are few who do not bcllevo that senator Wadsworth could carry the pri- maries against any man who could be named against him. But they dread a Wtter primary fight, in whkh things MW be said nnd done that would not f-- weaken him In tho general election w. would create friction that would \ lts tffect in the entire Republican canvass. As for candidates against him. to far one has openly declared himself, al-- \ a number of possibilities have 'been suggested In the last few months. I For a time the nam of Jotfh Lord O'Brlnn of Buffalo was talked of. But he has made It clear that he would not consider entering- the race. Men who took an active part In the organization of the Progressive party In this State in 1913 have been trying to persuade State Senator Frederick M. Dav enport of Oneida to run against Senator Wadsworth. He has been considering the proposlton carefully from all angles for some time, but has not yet reached a final decision, although the advice of many friends Is against the proposition. It has been reported that Representa- tive William H. Hill of Blnchamton had decided to enter the primaries for the nomination. But this Is denied. Friends of Senator Wadsworth say that Repre- sentative Hill has told the Senator that there Is nothing In the story. However, opponents of the Senator have eagerly taken up the possibility that Representative Hill might lead their fight Mr. Anderson has Dlaced his Indorsement upon him. Organisation Republicans declared yesterday that the frank announcement of Miss Hay that she and her fellow suffragists would oppose Mr. Wadsworth not only In tha primaries but In the general election If necessary would make It hard for the forces to &et n real Republican to enter the lists. They ssy It would put such a candidate In tho position of carrying the banner of an organization that did not propose to abide by the result of the primaries, that no matter what he might say him- self on the subject the situation must of necessity Injure such a candidacy. The general impression Is that If there Is to be any oposltlon to Senator Wads- worth worthy the name It must bo de- veloped and come out In the open before the first of the year.

Daugherty. STATEMENT IS ISSUED Unanimous Indorsement by His Own Stato Said to Bo Promised. Srttiai Dttpatch to In Soy. Wasiiinotox, Nov. 22. Premonitory of n formal announcement that Senator Warren O. Harding (Ohio) will stand for the Republican' Presidential nomina- tion, a statement whs Issued to-d-ay by Harry M. Daugherty of Cleveland, member of the Republican State advis- ory committee. Mr. Daughertr has been hero three days and conferred with many Republi- can leaders. The Ohio Presidential pref- erence primary will take place April 27 next, when the people will Indicate their Presidential choices. The State ticket, however, will not be named until a primary In August, at which time alt the Stnte. Congress and Senatorial nom- inations may be made. Senator Harding thus will have the chance to run for President without Jeo pardising his placo In the Sonate. In the April primary, he will secure nu' State's endorsement and 111111 It will dominate the national convention. If he wins there, he will, of course, be out of the Senatorial fight If he falls, he will still bo free to pursue his candi- dacy for renomlnatlon to the Senate in the August primary. Mr. Daugherty sayi In part: \The returns of the lato elections In dicate that a large majority of the vot- ers In States where voters are allowed to vote and have their votes counted pro pose to vote the Republican ticket In 1920. \The next campaign will have two Is- sues, one Americanism, the other the welfare of our Industries and commerce. It 1 am right, tho candidate of the party should be safe nnd sensible on both prop osition. I have a personal acquaintance with each of the men who have been or will be mentioned for the high honor. With some I have an Intimate acquain- tance. I recognize In each of them the highest type of American citizenship. \Four years ago Ohio went bad. That was a surprise then and has been a humiliation to real Republicans ever since. Any candidate who can earn' Ohio will carry Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and West Virginia, and, I think, the gneat East and the great West. In Ohio we know the man who can most surely carry this Stnte. That man Is Senator Warren O. Harding. \Senator Harding, of course, has not announced that ho Is a candidate for the Presidential nomination. He Is a mod- est man, and while there Is no particular Impropriety in any man announcing his candidacy for that high office, Senator Harding's friends In Ohio and elsewhere haw admired htm for not making any such announcement, notwithstanding he has now the promise of a unanimous In- dorsement by his own State and a very strong support In many other States. Senator Harding has practically been forced Into every contest for high honors he has ever received. He has been gen- erous In supporting others. \He 13 a thoroughgoing Republican partisan who always supports his own Darty but never offends those who be long to other parties. In many respects that malio men great nnd attractive no man was ever so much like McKlnley as Is Harding. He Is the one man sure to carry Ohio If tho Republican party nominates him. Harding, If nominated. It seems to many who havo given the subject consideration, is tho surest of election of nil tho men who have been or nAy be so considered.1' TRAIN ROBBERS SEND TAUNT. 3Iesaicc to Itnllrohd Says He's \On nil Win With Load ot Stock,\ CHF.IENNE, Wyo., Nov. 22.
