THE CONVENTION.
The Republican State Executive Committee de-
cided Yesterday that February % would he s'ilt-
able date for holding a meeting of the General ooii-
mittee to arrange for the State Convention. Chair
man Brookiied, who present, thought SO, TOO,
and agreed to issue the official call accordingly.
The time for holding the convention was also dls-
c,Isscd in an informal way, it not being within
the power of the Executive Committee To do any
thing mere than recommend a particular day. As
this recommendation however, is almost certain 70
hc adopted il is altogether likely that the conNen-
tion will lie held on about May j. that beln&
the date generally favored by those present.
These were as follows: General Hustled, chair'
man, who presided: William Brookiicld, chair-
man Of the General Committee: Congressman "adS

thus represented. Verplanck Colvin, Republican
candidate for State Engineer last fall was present
by invitation TO discuss plan that he had for
bringing about a more efficient party organization.
Other visitors included delegation from the
Americas Labor Club They sent IN word that
they wanted to talk to the committee as repre-
scntativcs of the Blanket Ballot League lhey

reform, however, they began to ask 'hairmal
Hustled about some remarks which 1t was alicgea
that he had made in the course of debate IN inc
Assembly on the Anti-Pnkerton BILL ms Dill
as introduced in the Assembly forbade the employ
ment Of men from outside county Tor WORK s"cn

Democratic Assembly emasculatcd it complcteV o"
this point. AS amended and passed, IN"
! bill leaves matters just AS they were:
General Hustled opposed the measure, and some oil
tho labor men took him to task for CHASING all

Much satisfaction WAS expressed, III the as
cu,sion which followed about campaign work, at
the result of the supervisors elections, and tie way
in which the Republicans all over the State were
aroused over Hills high-handed proceedings
! Absolute confidence expressed In the apii.y
of the party to carry the State this iall Tor the

doubt that the next legislature would he saieiy

MAY was favored as the date Tor inc State
Conwcn,,on for obyious reasons The state CoIl-
vention at which four delegates large 10 MN
neapols will be chosen, must he hcld at least
thirty days before the National Convention, when
opens on June :. May :, however, falls on
Saturday, so "Wednesday was chosen, 1t being as
near the limit possible. In other words tne

to give the party all the time possible TO select

day. the 2?d six weeks at least before that Of the
