OPPONENTS TOO CONFIDENT.

The Committee of Thirty forces were
completely routed by Boss Plat to-day
in the fight over the regularity of the
Republican factions in this city.
BY vote OF % to II. the Republican
State Committee, which considered the
subject. decided to refer the factional
contest to subcommittee, which is
made up almost entirely OF Platt men.
The boss has things his own way now
and II Is expected that he will nominate
his straight ticet in favor OF Tammany
Hall.
Plat merely played with his oppo-
nents.
II was case of over-coniidcnce on
their part.
They talked this morning of the i'm
possibility Of Plat having his way or
appointing IA subcommittee, but he did.
He knew he had the necessary votes in
| Committee to carry his point. His man.
Milholland, knew it, too. and SO conf
dent was Milholland that he sent out the
Information that the subcommittee had
been appointed long before the Commit
tee arrived al n decision.
| The action of the Committee Is con.
sidered a hard blow to the Committee
it,
The coup was engineered by Plat him
self. He was at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, where the Committee met early
and introduced every committeeman
personally.
| Chairman Brooktield said that he did
| not regard the decision of the Com
mittee as a defeat for his faction. 1t
| made no difference to him who decided
the question of regularity. He had no
doubt that ultimately his faction would
| be recognized. He was acting in the
| Interest OF harmony.
Mr. Brookheid denied that he threat
| ened to resign If the power to appoint tht
| Subcommittee was taken away from
him. II Mr.. Brookticld contemplated re
signing he certainly Reconstructed the
matter. He showed plainly the disap
poitment over his deIeat. He and his
| followers were ignored altogether.
