President Roosevelt tells William Barnes that he will support the decision that the Republicans in Albany make, as he has given them his best judgment about the political situation in New York state. His judgment was based on information from various sections of the state. Roosevelt believes that Charles Evans Hughes will be nominated for governor, and that it would hurt the party more not to nominate him than to nominate him.
