of the year Ir uiy such prominent Republicans called upon him during the day they were not I recognized by tho reporters who were keeping tabo Certainly no machine Republican leaders called Although the Gpvernor received many visitors none of them could be placed in the class popularly known as proml nent Republican AdjtQen Nelso II Henry whose term in the ordinary course expires at the end of the year was one caller and talkedwlth the Governor about the make up of the military Man to serve for the next two years Col Treadwell the Governors militAry ecretary said that the Governor was busy with not only official but per 1 tonal matters As to the announcement of appointment Col Treadwell was authorized to state that all such an noun menta will be made in Albany Late In the afternoon the Governor hart a long conference with the transit committee of the Chamber Commerce The committee consisted of A Outer bridge Edgar Leaycraft Howard 0 Smith Clarence Kelsey and Paul Warburg It was learned from the members of this committee that they had gone over with the Governor transit conditions in this city and bad urged the need of some kind of legislative measures to relief the congestion The Governor agreed with them that the necea Pity for providing additional trantporta tion facilities was imperative but they refused to say whetherany specific sug Kettions had boon submitted to the Gov rnor or whether In turn he had made anv The Governor dined last night at the Metropolitan Club with tho members of the Charter Revision Commission Before he left the hotel Col Treadwel said The dinner is entirely an informal one It is natural of course that there will be some discussion of the work or the commission but that will bo of no public interest because Mr Ivins on his weekend visit to the Governor at Albany last week fully explained to the Governor the nature of the provisions of the new charter which will be recommended by the commission Gov Hughes will return to Albany this morning While the Republican State machine will have a good deal of patronage to dispense after January 1 through Chairman Woodruff there is considerable patronage which Gov Hughes will handle without consultation with the State ma chins leaders Probably the most important will be the appointment of the new State Highway Commission established to take office by January 10 under a law passed by the last Legislature This law was favored by the Republican machine leaders with the assumption that there would be a Republican organization Governor after January 1 otherwise the good roads work would have been left withthe State Engineer who now lets all good roads contracts and who after January 1 will be a machine Republican The good roads law authorizes the Governor to appoint before January 10 three State Highway Commissioners one each for two four and six years the president to receive a salary of MQQ and each of the other commissioners 5000 One of the commissioners must be a Democrat The commission is to appoint two deputies and a secreatry at a salary of OSOO each The new law Fays that 400 or 600 engineers clerks and other employees shall be appointee after testa of their knowledge of actual road construction rather than for general and scientific knowledge The State Is divided Into six divisions and the new commission appoints division engineers for each at a salary of t3000 District and county superintendentssof highways are provided for as well town superintendents and properly looked after this new State commission of good roads construction would have been a most valuable adjunct of a State machine fhe next important patronage which the machine will lose will be the State Insurance Department Gov Hughes expects that the Senate will confirm a euo cessor to Supt Kelsey by March 1 Mr Kelseys friends insist that his term ol office does not expire until May 2 but Gov Hughes says the office records enow thai the term of a now Superintendent ol Insurance always begins on February I no matter how many weeks the old Superintendent may hold over pending the appointment of his successor Supt Francis Hendricks held over from February II until May 2 when Oov Higgins appointed Mr Kelsey to succeed him The State Insurance Department has a salary list of 75000 but the present Preeent Republican State machine has not many substantial appointments in the department To make up for the expected loss of the Insurance Department the Republican State machine will regain control of the State Department of Public Buildings which is a mine of small patronage The orderlies watchmen mechanics laborers draw 105000 a year while the other officials draw 30300 LleutGoveloct Horace White and Speaker James Uadsworth both machine men and Gov menhund Hughes arson tho board which controls thp Public Buildings Department Hut then the Governor will again ask the Legislature this winter reorganize the Board of Port Wardens and Quarantine Commissioners and the salary list here in 36000 If there id a reorganization the Governor will control the patron ege and a number of tho iienublican machine faithful have berths in these two partments now The Republican machine leaders defeated the Governors reorganization legislation at the last cton The new board of trustees of Public Buildings will control the erection of the new 000000 State educational building A great majority of tho big and little 0 places in the offices of the newly elected Republican State officials who take bold on January 1 are in the Civil Service fmnpetltive

Canadian camp and was re christened Camp Kill Rare in honor of Mr Woodruffs camp About two hundred diners sat down on beer kegs and champague cases empty and enjoyed the fun under the leadership of Job Hedges I It was noticed at the start that Congressman Law hesitated at the sight of a uniformed man at thedoor as he entered Come on In Congressman called out Job Hedges thats not a Secret Sjrvice man its a fireman Mr Hedges who was toastmaster announced thafnearlyevery one present except himself was a seeker of favors Hold on there Mr Toastmaster said Tim Woodruff youve been botherIng the life out of me lately forthe nomination for Mayor At first there wan a laugh aqd then the Idea seemed to take hold of the Congressmen and others and there was a shout long continued for Hedges for Mayor I believe that a good man like Job Hedges could win tr nominated said Mr Woodruff seriously The city needs a good business administration and with a man like Mr Hedges to lead there is no reason why the Republican party could not carry the election and give just such an administration Mr Woodruffs short speech seemed to be the cue for those who followed and while the dinner was not given over to any serious purpose every one sort of either jokingly or half seriously clung to Chairman Woodruffs suggestion Dill for Direct Nominations Kracke has been chosen chairman of the subcommittee of the Repub

Ackerman A Gordon Stripped of Almost Their Entire Stock by TW Who Easily Dodged Burglar Protection Hiring and Bars Following the robbery on Thursday of valuable fur goods from Ackerman Gordon furriers of East Twenty second street the story came out yesterday of how a gang of cunning thieves some time ago beat the burglar proof wiring in Solomon Stapplera place at 19 West Twentieth street and made a practically clean sweep of his stock of furs valued at 11000 Stappler who Is a manufacturing furrier has his place of business in an old fashioned five story building of brick and wood The ground floor and the fifth floor are unoccupied lie takes up the whole of the second Boor with his showrooms and factory Above him is the tailoring establishment of Jacob Leitner while Eelerstein a

when every one boa gone home the door giving entry to the building Is locked and barred and a watchman ordinarily stays on guard Inside Felerstein was going home at about 545 on the night pf November 27 when he saw three men coming downfrom upstairs One of them bad a kit of tools such as electricians carry strapped about his waist In view of the circumstanceS the tenants of the building think that these men were members of the gang that later robbed the place and that they then were just coming down from a reconnoitring trip during which they had discovered the untenanted loft where they concealed one of the number Sometime in the night the street door was opened supposedly by this hypothetical confederate They then went upstairs to the third floor where they jimmied the tailors door after first assuring themselves that It was not wired by cutting two lateral i doles In the panels and peeking through Having gained access to the room above Stapplers factory they cut a holo in the floor and got at the stock of furs without once troubling the burglar proof wiring about the furriers door and windows In order that the sound of failing plaster might not make any noise they carefully made a little hole in Stapplers ceiling through which they thrust an umbrella which on being opened caught the plaster as they kicked it through Tho umbrella full of plaster was lounu In a corner of Leitners shop the next day Once in Stapplers factory they found collection of sealskins and rare Persian furs of one sort and another some pi which had already been made Into gar moats while others were in process of tailoring In addition Stappler bad a lot of garments in the room given to him to make repairs and alterations on These were all lifted through tbe hole above and carried outaido where a truck was waiting In order to make quicker workof It the burglars took some of the skirts they found banging about Leitners room which they tied up at one end and made into bags for the transportation of the more valuable plunder they found on the floor below When they had cleaned out Stapplera place they did a little skirmishing through eltnern establishment gathering up a velvet skirt and some silks and satins worth about 175 In all Then they went ipstairs to see what Feierstein had but fCJr some reason or other gave up the attempt to get into his place after one or two TJIW Rewards aggregating 11600 are offered for the capture of the burglars Of this Uappler has put up 500 Ackerman Gordon who believe that they have suffered from the same gang 500 and tho private
