ERS OF THE SYRACUSE zICKkT

| Every Man Held ON 10 Ittr Nocnt hnt-No
Money to DO Anything with, and Nothing
TO DO Since "Dodson 81 Fore Took tho
Case on Spec"-Fuuerni Arrangements.
After all tho entreaties. and after all the
letter writing and kilograms. the Republican
| campaiRners at Coroner Haoketts bureau at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel could get only thirteen
| OF the Executive Committee to attend tho
| final meeting OF the campaign In the hotel
Yesterday morning. Those present besides
Mr.. Hackett. Mr.. Brookfeld. Mr. Kenyon and
Thomas C. Plat. who are always on the
ground. we're William H. Robertson OF West
chester. John A. Qunckenbush OF saltwater. B.
| B. O'Dell, Jr, OF Newburgh. Barnet ii. Davis
OF Palmyra. John n. Scatcherd OF Buffalo.
| Charles NJ. Newns OF Brooklyn. William
| Barnes. Jr.. OF Albany. Isaac J.. Hunt. Jr. OF
| Adams. and Isaac V. Baker. Jr. OF Comstocks.
| At none OF the previous meetings were over
| four out-of-towners present Yesterday the
| number was increased to seven. All told. there
arc twenty-five members OF the committee. and
| the attendance at these conclaves. which are
| supposed to direct the destinies of the SYRIA
| cusd ticket. have in years gone by been con-
| sidered highly important. In this campaign
tho out-of-towners haven't taken interest
enough TO be on hand At all previous meet
| ings Of the committee the two New York city
members, Cornelius Van Colt and Henry
| Grasse. put in an appearance. They were alb
| sent yesterday. DR.. Depew and Warner Miller
have been absent all the way through, Mr..
Depew because he has been very busy. and
Mr.. Miller because he is still Sick at his home
in Herkmer.
In well.regulated assembl ages 10 DOORS gem
tlemerremove their hats. and. OF course. this
was done yesterday morning when the COM
mitteemen assemb led in Coroner Hacketts
private room. But 1t was noticed that all
clutched their hats tightly to their breasts.
There was plenty Of room on the desks and
floor for the headgear. and the strange ap-
pearance Of the unlucky thirteen holding on to
their hats was commented upon. Surely the
gentlemen could trust each other not to mix
up their headgear. No explanation Of this odd
conduct could be obtained until late in the
evening. when q Republican said:
"No one can blame my colleagues for hold
ing on to their hats. There has been so much
talk going on through these useful articles
that they have become more. or less an active
feature of the campaign, and the real reason
why my associates on the committee did not
let 90 OF their hats was IN inordinHte fear that
the hats might walk Off"
Everybody will want to know what occurred
