NO GREAT SIGNIFICANCE, SAY THE HEARST PEOPLE They Take Position That Result of Elec tion Will Have no Effect on Next Presidential Campaign. Washington, Oct. 23. A New York special to thn Post asks: , l.s there an aspirant among the three men now running for mayor of Greater New York for the presidential nomination In 1912? Republican leaders here do not hesitate to say there Is, and they spell his name Gay nor. Those who are Intimate with Judge Gaynor admit that he has an honorable ambition In that direction, but the Tammany leaders assert with a vehemence 'that suggests the idea Is obnoxious to them, that this is only a local campaign, and any and all talk of coupling the name of their candidate with the presidency Is non sense.' Republican leaders takjp a contrary view, and Insist that so far as Judge Qaynor himself Is concerned that gentleman Is not applying the sou pednl when his name is mentioned among the presidential possibilities. At the Hearst hendquurtera the statement Is made with emphasis that there can be no national significance in the pending municipal campaign. Those authorized to speak for Mr. Hearst say that no matter what the result may bo It will have no effect upon tho presidential campaign, still three years off, unless It should op- wu.te.ta strengthen the parties op posed to Tammany, and to that extent ken the organlratlon that doml nates, the democratic -party In this stater """"'"' '' p f! : Mr. Hearst.'because of his fight for ths nomination' in the presidential campaign Ave yearn ago, it charged with conducting all of . his political moves with this Inevitable end In view. and this Is being used against him by some of his opponents. The Hearst leaders discount all efforts to make their candidate a national figure In A purely local contest. Republicans and democrats, however, express the belief that Mr. Hearst will not take affront at any situation that keeps him polit ically prominent before the public. As Been by Pa rums. "It Is no secret among those who know Judge daynor that he has an ambition to lead his party In a na tional campaign," said Chairman Par sons this afternoon. "I am not pre pared to say whether the Idea of such a contingency la pleasing to the dem ocratic leaders In New York state or In this city. That Is a question for them to aniwer. National questions are not being discussed before the people by any of the parties, nor Is there any reason why they should be. The nialn question before tha voters of New York Is whether there shall be an honest and progressive admin istration of affairs or a continuance of the rule of graft. "Of course. If Judge Gaynor were elected by an unusual vote, In the face of the opposition to him and the pres ent practical certainty of his defeat thai very situation might make him available as a presidential candidate, but I do not think any of the ruling spirits In Tammany have ever given a moment's thought to tne posaiuiiuy 01 their candidate being In the presiden tial class. There are many, however who understand that the possibility of such a contingency has occurred to Judge Gaynor himself, and that his personal reflections along that Una have not yet been disturbed." Garnor's SnrrMee for Nomination. Although the democratic candidate is a man of comparative wealth, his resignation from the bench entailed a loss of Income that few men outside the millionaire class would care volun tarlly to precipitate, and this fact Jus tines the 'suspicion In the minds of some that Judge Gaynor has resigned from the bench to enter politics with th express purpose of keeping In It until nominated for the presidency. He had ten years yet to serve at 117,600 a year as a justice of the Su preme court assigned to the appellate division. This Is a very Important court In the State Judiciary, and Judge flavnor was fond of his work-. He rtslsrned this Blace to swept nomlna tlon for an office at a salary of $11,004 a vear with a tenure of office of but four years, even If he won the fight. He has pledged himself to serve the four years If' elected and not to be a candidate for governor, which usually Is considered the stepping stone to the presidential nomination. Judge Gaynor may believe he can reach th-? 'White House by the short cut from the mayor's office. OoL J. H. FaunJn Dead. Savannah, Oa., Oct St. Col. James H.
