Travis of Brooklyn. A ajrong un-der-the-surfaro movement against him has been quietly agitated for sev eral weeks and unless the present programme is upset a tremendous drive WW be made at the fall primaries to push him off the Stale ticket and substitute a man from some of the northern counties. The anti-Travis move is declared to have been fostered by the group of leaders which forms the Governor's kitchen cabinet, the main figures of which are George W. Aldridge of Rochester, and William Ward of West- On this particular issue they have enlisted coiiMideriil.lv strength all ahum the line up-State. In these counties there is a feeling that New York City is "grabbing everything." The annul quite freely now that unless there is a big turn in the situation they miisi re-nominate Governor Whitman, a Manhattanite.

In their estimation William M. Calder. a Brooklynite. is at present the only man in sight for t'nited States Senator. In some ills tricts this feeling is engendered hv the multitude of friends the Brooklyn ex-Representative has made: in others il is founded on the belief that he cannot be beaten, anyway, and that they must except the inevitable.

In either case it amounts to the same thing that the I'nited state must go to Xew York. Coupled with the belief that Whitman must be renominated, it has driven home to the tip-Si. -iters that at least two of the biggest plan on the State ticket must go south of the Harlem River and with that staring them in the face they have apparently unite. i to grab what is left the Controllershlp. Aldridge Is known to have had his eye on the state controllership fur some time and his friends say lie believes that now is the time to get it.

L'p-staters believe that the position of Travis is just at present weaker than tl lin ar: been before. The patronage of his office was worked to the limit last week in New- York to beat Stale Chan man Tanner wiih a Barnes candidate and the fact that it failed to "deliver the goods" is pointed to as proof positive that the controller's patronage ma. Ir.ncry is in "very bad order." and makes him a most vulnerable target. In fact, it was pointed out. that lie delivered only the votes of these who were actually on his payroll.

In many couniks such as Suffolk and Nassau, where he has planted patronage, he did not get a single vote for the Barnes programme. Travis has been aning on William Barnes who is credited with having given the support Unit him and the weakening of Barnes has additi effect that Barn the Albany I SPY PUT TO DEATH fl IN LONDON TODAY London.
