Opposition to Him is Developing, However—sSulzer Not Backward with Claims—tidder, Ely and Keogh Mentioned. NBW YORK, July 10.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Up to the present time nine men are actually in the race for the democratic nomination for governor of New York, or their friends are urging their fitnesy for the place. They are Thomas W. Osborne, Auburn; Herman Ridder of this city, Congressman William Sulzer, Carey L, Ely, Buffalo; Justice Martin J. Keogh, Worchester; Martin W. Littleton, Congressman James H. Havens, Rochester; former Comptroller Herman A. Metz and Mayor W| J. Gaynor. In addition to these the name of Willlam R. Hearst is mentioned In connection with the honor, As to Mayor Gaynor, who, though named as last in the list is doubt- less first as regards the Interest taken to possibllity of his candidacy, the opinion of the political sharps, seems to be that he has no eye for the governorship and no Qesire now but to be mayor and carry out his ideas about the proper administration of government in this city. | Gives Silent Comsent. The mayor has expressed an entire lack of interest in reports of movements to make him governor, and has several times denled that his authorization has been given to such activities. It is not lkely that he will ‘take the trouble to make many such denials, but rather that he will £o on in silence as to things political—a silence that should not be taken as mean- Ing consent to the use of his name. There is much talk of Thomas W. Os- borne as an available candidate, typifying the old-style democrat, and standing for higher ideals and harmony. Mr. Osborne is head of the Democratic State league, which organization expects to have a strong Influence In democratic counclls this year. It Is sald, however, that oppo- sition to his candidacy is being stirred in his own section of the state, it being argued against him that he has not been a regular upporter of democratic candidates in Congressman Sulzer, ¥t 15 reported, will open headquarters here, probably at the Hotel Knickerbocker, some time next week. He has enthusiastic supporters who hope to impress fammany with the evidence of his popularity. Ely Wonld Get There. It is sald that a considerable movement for W. Carle Lly is under way in the west- ern part of the state. Ely is a prominent business man of Buffalo, who has been mentloned in previous gubernatorial years. Mr. Ridder is régarded in many quar- ters as having elements of strength that would make him a good vote getter this year. Judge Koogh has been sald for months past to be the candidate who would have tho support of Tammany. By not a few it Is believed there will be a lively boom for Martin W. Little- ton a few weeks before convention time. It is also rumorsd that Mr. Metz' return from Europe will be the signal for several functions that will be the means of launch- ing and accelerating & boom for him. James H. Havens, the Rochester lawyer who defeated George W. Aldridge for con- gress at the election last winter, is re- garded as a possible candidate.

Double Indemnity Law Attacked Burlington Railroad Resists Damage Suit Brought by Government on Ground that Act is Invalid. SIOUX FALLS, & D, July 10.—(Speefal.) Judge Carland of the United States court in this city, has taken under advisement a case which is expected to determine the constfutionality of what s known as the double indemnity law, enacted by the state legislature at its 1%7 session. The suit’ was instituted by the United States government, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rallroad company being the de- fendant. The government seeks to recover from the rallway company damages in the sum of $42,78 for the destruction of timber by fire alleged to have been started by sparks from e locomotive belonging to the rallway company on its lines in the Black Hills. The timber destroyed by the fire was in the Black Hills forest re- serve, The actual value of the timber destroyed by the fire was $20,617.42, one-half of the amount sued for, less the interest. N. K. Griggs, an attorney of Lincoln, Neh., argued the case before Judge Carland for {the railway company, while the argument in behalf of the government was made by United States Attcrney E. E. Wagner. The railway company based its defense on the contentlon that the double indemnity law is unconstitutional, for the alleged reason that it is in conflict with hoth the state and federal constitutions. Owing to the importance of the case it may be sev- eral days before Judge Carland renders his deciston.
