The father only passes half of his sex chromosomes to the baby, either the X or the Y. If the baby gets the Y chromosome from the father it will be a boy. Since the Y chromosome does not carry the hemophilia gene, a son born to a man with hemophilia and a woman who is not a carrier will not have hemophilia.
