THE NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.
MEETING OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
TO-DAY-THE QUESTION WHERE AND WHEN THE
STATE CONVENTION SHALL BE HELD.
III IS not expected that there VIII be full attend
ance OF the members of the Republican State Com
mittee at its session to-day at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel Several members have sent word that they
did not think it possible for them to be present but
they Will be represented by proxies. Only few of
the members Of the committee were in the city last
night, and for this reason there was very little
talk about the hotels as to what would
be done. James Low, of Suspension Bridge
Judge Carpenter, of PoughkeepsIe, Martin L.
Slower, Of Amsterdam, Cornelius K. Parsons. of
Rochester, and Thomas c. Plat and Michael
Crcgan, of this city, were the only members Of the
committee who at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
last night. James S. Smart, of Cambridge. and
Theodore s. Sayre, Of Utica, were in the city, but
not at the hotel. Congressman Richard Crowley
sent word that he would be here before the meeting
OF the committee tO-day. The only questions that
Will come before the committee that are likely to
cause discussion the time and place Of holding
the convention. The friends of Governor Cornell
favor q convention TO be held at Saratoga not later
than the 1911 of Septemb T. The opponents OF the
Governors denomination want later convention,
and az general thing prefer some other
place than Saratoga. ostensibly for the reason
that the Governor has taken 20 tage at Saratoga
which he will occupy to-day, and may remain there
for month or two, IN which case he would
he there during the time of the Con-
ventiOn. There are those who oppose Saratoga
on other grounds, however than question affecting
the acton of the convention, high prices at the
hotels and Door hall in which to hold the cOnven-
ton being the princlDal objections. Syracuse and
Rochester are the places favored by those per-
sons opposed to Saratoga. while some persons were
