meanwhile piophocles are valueless val-ueless EYES ON NEW YORK During the day the VicePresidential question seemed to revolve around New YOI kThe potlUon of the Slate with four men available for candidates the feeling In some quarters that political considerations should give the second place on the ticket to the Empire Stale and the somewhat strained ro lutlond between Senator Hanna and Senator Plait all serve to turn attention to New York SITUATION LAST NIGHT Tonight the Ituation in New York Is Just this They want the VicePresi dency Senator Platt docs not want Bllsfi because he
