William Barnes provides William Loeb with an update on the political situation in New York. Former Senator Edgar Truman Brackett is antagonistic toward Barnes because Barnes was instrumental in defeating his renomination and instead nominating Senator William W. Wemple, who was a member of Barnes’ state committee district. Brackett’s district’s attitude in the National Convention will be a problem. Brackett has made arrangements with parties from various other districts for control. Barnes is concerned about the implications of this situation.
