STATESMEN CHOK ED OFF.
THE REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEES MEET
ING A PAINFUL FIZZLE


mittee. which began In the Fifth Avenue Hotel
at noon yesterday and ended Mt dusk. was de-
scribed as fZZle by some Of the astute per-
sons who took part in the deliberations. Other
astute persons said that the real purpose for
which tho committee had been called together
had been thwarted and certain amount OF
damage thereby averted. It was learned that
Chairman William Brookfeld. on the advice OF
several Of his intimate friends had sent out
the call for the meeting on the snpposition
that certainly by yesterday the Court
Of Appeals ut Albany would havo handed
down its decisions In the contested
election cases. and that there would be
flre opportunity to denounce Gov. Hill. Reso-
buttons had been prepared. 1t is snid that
Col George Bliss was the author Of them. But
with no decision from the court the commit
tee could not we'll fire in the dark, and what to
do was conundrum.
It was definitely learned that when. on
Thursday last, word came from Albany that
tho decisions would be handed down at 10
o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Brookflcld do
cided to issue tho call for yesterday at noon.
No allowance was made for tho possibility OF
change Of programme at Albany.
The committee was not assembled IN the Dig
parlOr IN stairs without some delay. Menn-
while Senator Hiscock,. Senator. Fassctt. Mr..
liam ii. Belamy. and the committeeman and
proxies talked over the situation. Some OF the
