NEW YORK STATE GOVERNORSHIP.
MR HUGHES STRENUOUSLY OPPOSED.
NEW YORK, August 28. Sportsmen are strenuously opposing the re-election of Mr Hughes as Governor of New York State. Although Mr Hughes waited an hour in the stand near Saratoga, the com petitors at a trotting match declined to race until he withdrew.
In June last the Senate of the State of New York passed a Bill which made gambling on a racecourse punishable by imprisonment. It was carried on the casting vote of a senator who was in a dying condition, and had to be carried into the chamber in order to record his vote.
