The headquarters in the Fifth Avenue Hotel
where the Republicans OF the State have re-
ceived news Of defeat on election nights for
ten years were reopened yesterday morning.
The rooms face on Twenty -fourth street, and
are provided with the usual desks and type
writing machines. William Brookfeld. Chair.
man Of the State Committee. occupied the
chief desk for q short time in the morning.
Gen. James W. Hustled. the renowned Bald
Eagle Of Westchester. Chairman Of the Execu.
tive Committee OF State campaigners. was
also on hand for an hour or so. He went to
Peekskill in the afternoon to get his carpet
bag
Reuben Fox wearing the same old slouched
hat, and chirrupng the same old legend that u
momentous and swelling victory was at hand.
and Anderson Lawrence. as conservative as q
chair leg. are the other two moguls OF the
Headquarters Brer Fox has citadel to
maintain in the shape Of a place in the Senate.
Bundles of heavily enveloped packages were
tossed in and piled up for later distribution.
Brer Fox. as secretary OF the headquarters,
lay very low when questioned about the con.
tents OF these bundles. Some said they were
copies Of the speeches OF ex- Corporation Coun-
sci William C. De Witt Of Kings. who at Sara.
toga opposed the nomination OF Mr.. Flower:
and Of Gen. Isaac s. Cstlin. who supported Mr..
De Witt. Straightway Mr.. Fox was asked II the

The Democratic State headquarters will be
opened in the Hoffman House early next
week. and the printing presses are already at
work on documents which will demonstrate In
letters OF fire Just who was responsible for that.
But some OF the Republicans met last night
could not for the life OF them see how the Fair
could be made an issue in this fight. If Mr..
Platt said one whose opinion Is accepted In
Republican councils. "waged the warfare that
took the Fair from the State he got his reward
last fall when his calico ticket was beaten out
OF sight. That ammunition was used once
and Is now exhausted"
This was bosh in the estimation OF others.
and not few who had contrary views We're
Republicans. These people said that as long
a. the Fair lasted and far beyond. the,people Of
New York State would not forget by what
methods the Fair was turned over to the
windy city.
But the Republicans who direct the affairs Of
cheek by FOWL. they say. with the Platt men,
benefits next year. especially during the cleo
ton for members OF Congress.
One OF the men expected now at any hour at
Republican headquarters is John H. Camp. the
newly elected State Committeeman from
Wayne county. Mr.. Camp was spoken OF last
night as the Champion Doodle Raiser OF the
country. He is the intimate OF .presidents and
directors OF corporations with Republican
leanings. not only in this State. but In Penn
sylvania. New Jersey. and Ohio. Great things
are expected from Camp. and II he doesn't ma
terialze he won't find his new place on the
committee congenial.
