ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 6.—There are to be plenty of fireworks in the Re¬ publican State situation in the next few months.
A candidate for the Presidential nomination. Governor Whitman will seek to control the 87 New York dele¬ gates to the national convention in Chicago. He believes he will be able to do so.
This move, which is already being undertaken by his friends, means a row with William Barnes, William L. Ward, Francis Hendricks, Oeorge W. Aldridge and a few others of the Old Guard. The prospect of such a row does not disconcert the gover¬ nor. His friends conslantly call his attention to the popularity and strength which came to Juslice Hughes when, as governor, he climb¬ ed on the opposite side of the fence from tho party "bosses" and stayed there.
It may be stated aulhoritalivcly that Governor Whitman favors the nomination of Charles E. Hughes for President. He doesn't know whether the one-time governor of tlie Slate will take il. If it can be shown that Juslice Hughes would accept Gover¬ nor Whitman will swing all his influ¬ ence lo bring about his nomination. If It be shown that Juslice Hughes Ik Irrevocably out of it, well, then Governor Whitman will be an active candidate himself.
Francis M. Hugo, Hopiiblican Sec¬ retary of State, is building up a very rormidable machine to nominate him for governor if Governor Whit¬ man's political path leads elsewhere. Mr. Hugo easily has the load of all other aspirants.

en to the rooting out of the undesir¬ able hotel, the gangsters rendezvous and the gambling dens.

Rocka'way Beach Widened.
FAR ROCKAWAV^ Jan. U.—The winds and lidos of the last two weeks have caused considerable change in the bathing beach at this place. Be¬ tween the Ostend bulkhead and the tresllo at Roche's a width of at least fifty feet has been added lo the beach. The sandbar in front of the beach which has been apparent for the last three years is now increased in height and length and is close to the Rock¬ away shore. It is really an extension of Long Beach, and in a few years probably will be known aa the outer boach or bathing beach of Far Rock¬ awav.
R. R. Men's Wages Go Up.
The motormoii and conductors of the New York and Long Island Trac¬ tion Company will receive a 10 per cent, increase in wages, which goes Into effect at onco. There are I.'iO men who beneflt by the Increase.
Long Island operators closed the year wilh predictions that 1916 would be as prosperous as the boom y<iai of litOO. The pall of depression has been lifted by better flnancial and businetiS conditions. Money is easier. .\s a result real estate faces a brisk movement in tho new year.
An increase of 1,,')00 commuters on the Long Island Raliroad in Novem¬ ber over the same inonth of 1914 and the steady busilding movement on Long Island generally show a growth. Ten years ago real estale activity was in lots. .Nassau county is no longer an area for vacant lot speculation, but a close adjunct to the greater city, where land is too valuable to lie idle. There is hardly a farm lett In the >:ub;irbaii home area from Lynbrook lo Freeport on iheoouth shore, wh'lo the real estate ard buildin,^ riiv,- mont 'loUMoii Kockville CcnUc id F'reeport is unprecedented in that neighborhood.
Along the north shore of .Nassau cofinty there is a stronger market for country estate acreage, while Hompstead is the hub of activity In the central part of Long Island.
There were many dealings of an almost sensational nature in water front estate along the north shore during the year, and it is expected that tlie activity will continue, as many people have been attracted by the wonderful sliore line broken by numerous bays and harbors—the de¬ light of yachtsmen—and wooded promotories that stretch out into the deep waters of Long Island Sound. Inland is found a rolling park like country extending from Greal Neck to Huntington.

DR, OVERTON DEFIED! BIG QUEENS DINNER
OYSTER BAY TOWN BOARD OP¬ POSED TO HOSPITAL.
[SECRETARY GARRISON TO BE GUEST OF HONOR AT BANQUET.
The town of Oysler Bay will not build an isolation hospital at Glen Cove. The committee appointed by Supervisor James H. Cocks to investi¬ gate conditions at the Orchard, the Glen Cove Italian colony, flled its re¬ port with the Oyster Bay town board Monday. The report is signed by Su¬ pervisor Cocks as the exofflcio mem¬ ber and Justice of the Peace Wiiliam Kl. liuyster and Health Offlcer Dr. Wil¬ liam J. Burns.
Supervisor Cocks, in presenting the report to the town board, scored the attempt to have established a con¬ tagious hospital at Glen Cove. "Glen Cove is one of the healthiest villages —not only on Long Island, but in New York State," he said. "We have had but two deaths from diphtheria since Sept. 1, and I defy Dr. Overton to ahow that conditions are better in any community with a population of 11,000, such as Glen Cove has."

FAMOUS HOTEL LEVELED TO THE GROUND IN TWO HOURS.
The Oaks, at Oceanside, a hotel of 50 rooms, was burned to the ground last Thursday nigbt. The loss Is $10,000. The cauee of the fire is a mystery.

NEW BRICK BLOCK
BURNED STRUCTURES TO BE RE¬ PLACED BY MODERN BLOOKS.
. The disastrous fire which swept away a block of buildings at the lower end of Main street, Hempstead, on Saturday, has taught property owners the lesson that frame dwellings are not suitable for a bueiness centre.
The old frame structures will be replaced by brick buildings, if the present plans of the owners of the property are carried out. Anna and Alfred Frank are planning to put a three-story brick atructurs in the place of the large wooden building, which formerly occupied the corner, and was occupied as a dry goods store. Their loss waa over |50,000. a large part of whieh was protected by In¬ surance.
$12,000 Fire in Inwood. I
Early New Year's morning fire to¬ tally destroyed two frame buildings at Kelly avenue and Walter place and partially damaged a frame dwelling In the rear. One building was owned by John J. Kane ot Far Rockaway.
