Several Of the members arrived last night, but the
majority will come on the morning trains There Is
no doubt that General Knapp will be elected chair
man. Charles A. Chickering's election as secretary Is
also agreed upon. 1t is likely that another secre-
tary will be chosen assist him. The Executive Com
mittee will be made strong as possible, and In
fact everything viii b. done, far as the committee
Is concerned, TO carry the campaign In the most
vigorous and effective manner possible.
All the members who were seen last evening ap
pealed TO be in remarkably good spirits, although as
practical men they realized that IL was big under
taking TO elect the State ticket in the face of the en-
trenched enemy. Said one of the shrcwdeSt Repubh

remember, with Tammany against Smith. That will
cost him $1,000 County Democracy votes in this city
sec if it dOn't'
