are that the independents, believing
this to be Governor Patterson's mo

PLEASED WITH HIS VICTORY
IN COUNTY OF NEW YORK
No Change Brought Aboutby Democra
tic Primaries, and Nothing ot
Importance by Those of
Republicans.
01
YSTER BAY, Sept. 14. Theo
dore Koosevelt expresses sat
isfaction over his victory In
the republican primaries In New
Vork county yesterday, and says he Is
to take a hand in drafting the repub
lican state platform. The Roosevelt
forces carried every district In New
York county. There was practically
no opposition there. In Kings county
State Chairman Woodruff won 19 out
of 23 districts. Neither side appears
to have gained any advantage.
No change was brought about by
the democratio primaries.
Col. Koosevelt said that under no
circumstances could he accept the
state chairmanship or the gubernato
rial nomination. He feels that he
had too much work outside New York
state to assume any office. Ha says
the question of the temporary chair
manship of the state convention can
best be settled when the time comes.
The republican state chairman is
sued this statement last night:
"The returns from the primaries In
Kings county show that while the dis
tricts controlled by Naval Officer
Kracke, Postmaster Voorheis, Con
gressman Calder and Senator Travis
have :;:t delegates out of a total of
142, 'the-other 1 wlW-aH support
the Kings county organization and
vote to ratify the votes of the state
committeemen from Brooklyn in the
selection of Vice President Sherman
for temporary chairman of the con
vention. "The returns from New York coun
ty indicate that one state commltee
man, Harry W. Mack, has lost his
place in the state committee and that
a number of the delegations to the
state convention will support the state
committee in the position which It ha',
taken In the matter of ti niDorary
chairman."
Mr. Woodruff also claims the dele
gates from Richmond and Queens.
