HOW THE NEW COMMITTEE WILL BE FORMED
Misunderstood here that the delegates from New
York TO the Republican Convention which is to be
held in this village on Wednesday. will elect John
H. Brady as the successor of the late Pierre Z. Van
WICK in the new With Congressional Districts John
/ OBuen as the successor of Dewitt G. Wheeler
in the With District, J. NJ. Patterson In the
With District, Cornelius Van Colt in the
lXth District, G.. +. Bruder in the Xth
District and Michael Cregan IN the XIth District.

contesting he representation of the Allth Con-
gressional District while it is not yet evident who

the XiJIth Congressional District. These all
the New-York City districts 1t will be perceived
from the names of the new committeeman
mentioned that most of them are members OF this
years State Committee. Besides increasing the
power of the city organizations the change IN the
/! Congressional districts will modify nearly every
political organization IN the country. Each Con-
eressional district with its counties formed as 1t
were political province. These provinces are now
l rudely broken INTO separate fragments.

composing a Congressional district suddenly finds
itself linked 10 an entirely different set of counties
Politicians accustomed TO ASSOCIATION with poll
tciaus of certain faction abruptly find themselves
4 compelled TO form acquaintance with strangers OF
still another faction. AS a consequence the politics
Of the interior of the State are IN state OF confu-
i son. A State Committee composed Of many men
hitherto unknown TO each other in political working
/ is likely to be chosen. The predicament of many
Heading politicians who desire TO remain members OF
the State Committee is best shown by that OF ex-
Senator Thomas G. Platt. He is a member of the
present State Committee from the XAVlllth
District which is composed of the counties OF TOga
Tompklns and Broome. Mr.. Plat lives IN Owego.
Tioga County. By the new Congressional law
Tioga County is put into the XXVIth Congressional
District forming that district with the coun Ties oil
Broome. Chenango and Mad dson. Mr.. Piatt Is,
therefore, under tho disagreeable necessity OF con-
ylHcing the ambitious politicians OF these counties
that he had better bo their representative IN tue

JOHN F. sMYTH's DILEMMA.
One prominent Republican politician, John +.
Smyth of Albany, it Is already evident Is not 10
be mombcr of this State Committee. his
former heutenants having secretly obtained dele
gates from the Albany Congressional District who
will net vote for his reelection. but will elect
another man. Messrs Luby and Bentley. two of
these mutinous lieutenants, happen to be
Federal officials. Their action has excited
| q suspicion among some politicians here
that the National Administration aims
If possible to gain control of the State Committee,
but this suspicion Is generally regarded as having
L slight foundation. In the present mixed state OF
affairs among the Congressional districts OF the
State II would be impossible Tor even the National
administration to guideits way 70 seGInns maJOr
