Roosevelt's Friend Will Probably Be Made Chairman in the Empire Slate. Washington, April 28. Republi cans of the New York congress dele gation, including Senator Hoot, are counting on Col. Roosevelt taking an active part In the New York Statu campaign next fall. In fact it would he difficult to And a single republican in the New York representation hero who docs not believe, now that Gov. Hughes has eliminated himself, that Mr. Roosevelt will dominate tin; re publican affairs of the state In the criming contest. Several members of the delegation declared that Coi. Roosevelt would be consulted not only in regard to the selection of a cundidate for gov ernor but that he would participate actively in the campaign, probably de livering at least one speech. He Will ll- Active. Several members of the New Y ork delegation said that the Colonel had made plain to them before he left the White House that he did not in tend to surrender his right to engage actively in the political affairs of his own state and that they might expect him mi bis return to this country to take a Iiv interest in all of the party's doings. Representative Herbert parsons, who for many years was Roosevelt's rinhl hand man as president of the. New York county committee, Is one New Yorker who experts to see Mr Roosevelt assert himself in New Y'ork stale politics as soon as he returns to this country Representative Parsons is confident that Mr. Roosevelt will no! allow the fact that he has once been president to deter him.

Hughes. The ifugiics Appointment. Several of the New York republl cans here express the opinion that the elimination of Mr. Hughes hud avoid ed a very real possibility of friction between the governor and Col. Roose velt in regard to party affairs In the Ivmpire state. It is well known thai I lov. Hughes and Col. Roosevelt hav" never hitched very well together. The governor insisted on hoeing his own row at Albany with considerable In difference to the views of President Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt In ronse nuence said some disparaging thing about Gov Hughes und apparently hud no very great concern about keeping his sentiments from the Gov ernor'H ears. New Y'ork republicans here bellev that if Gov. In.. In- had remained al tho helm ami hud taken an active part In next fall's campaign then would surely have been friction be tween him and the Colonel.
