'Ex-Collector of the Port Francis Hen
bricks arrived in this city this morning
from Syracuse. and went directly to the
Office of Boss Plat at 40 Broadway for
a conference.
Mr.. Hendricks is a companion in mis-
cry. and his visit to the Republican Cen
trail Power Is important because Il has
an indirect bearing on the fractional fight
in this city.
a.. There Is a dispute between Hendricks,
leader of the Plat forces in Onondago
County, and Congressman Belden, who
has a machine of his own. as to which
side is entitled to recognition as being
regular. Both nominated Independent
candidates for Mayor at the last cleo
ton and Hendrcks's man won. Hen
bricks and his followers have been pro-
scribed by Belden as boilers, and their
right to name delegates to the State
= Convention has been questioned
Mr.. Hendricks was asked to-day If he
was willing to let the local organizatio
settle the matter without outside inter-
ference, the same as the regular New
York Republicans propose to settle
their differences.
mo we are not" he said 81 am
, afraid II we submit to local arbitration
we will be beaten"

Boss Piatt. the artful dodger, would
not, express an opinion on the subject
to-day.
Excuse me-" he said, u don't want
to say anything more until the State
Committee has met"
"As a Republican, Mr.. Platt," asked
the reporter. which faction in this city
do you think Is entitled TO recognition"

A good many up-country committee

Secretary John s. Kenyon, Mayor
George w. Aldridge, of Rochester: W.

jr.. of Comstocks; and James W. Wads-
worth, of Geneseo. The general opinion
OF these men is that this is no time to
precipitate party fight, and their
influence will be exercised in favor Of
Cancellation. This is II backdown for
Platt.
He and his man Milholland are beaten
out of sight. That much Is admitted
this morning by the senior Republican
organ and the Tammany organ, which
have upheld Platt's position. Platts
cause was Tammany's. because Platt's
success meant straight Republican
ticket

land would be Endorsed.

said. ut would be the very worst thing
that could be done when success is in
