ROBINSON WANTS TO STICK.
TIE REPUBLICAN, COUNTY COMMITTEE
DEEIEs THE STATE LEADERS.

Tonight the City Clab WIN Renominnte
Comptroller Myers In the Belief ApPar-
entity that He VIII Run n Third Csndi-
dnte-Kempner Wants TO FIJI Up Ticket.
The City Club folks believe Comptroller
Theodore w. Myers will accept the renomina-
ton. which they arc going to give him In
Cooper Union tonight. What interests them
now is to know whether Henry c. Robinson.
the Republican candidate. will withdraw In
favor OF Myers, or will stick. He wants to
stick. and Patterson. Smith Il Gibbs want
to have him stick. This worries the Republi-
can State Executive Committee. At their eet
ing in the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday they
discussed It and It was made very clear that
Patterson. Smith. Gibbs Il Go. would have
nothing to do with the withdrawal OF Robin
son. No satisfaction. in fact. could be got out
Of them. and they cvaded all efforts at concill-
alton The up-country leaders believe that
Robinson should DO withdrawn and Myers put
in his place: but the combine Is stifT-necked.
and remained SO all day.
Mr. BurleiRh OF Whitehall hustled around
town to see what could be done. He talked
with Sabine Smith and Looking Forward Bel
lany, and attempted to reach others. but every
where ne went he found the New York Repub-
lican county leaders with their heads In the
air and hostile to any proposition looking to
the withdrawal OF Robinson. Mr.. BurleiGh
after his tramp said that 1t didn't look very
favorable for the withdrawal Of Robinson.
1t looks. therefore, as II for the FIRST time
since the days OF Roscoe Conkling and Chester
A. Arthur.the country and city machines OF the
Republicans are to run their own campaigns
separately The county Republicans refuse to
have their Headquarters anywhere near the
state bureau in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. They
have opened UP u shop in the Grand Opera
House. The State leaders vlciously say thcy
will await n comparison Of results as between
Chester Arthur and Jake Patterson.
As for Mr.. Robinson himself he said yester-
day: II see no reason why should withdraw.
