The echoes OF that fight in Syracuse be-
tween ex-ColleCtor Francis Hendricks and
Representative James ]. Belden we're still
heard yesterday In Republican circles here in
New York CITY. There is wrangie coming
out OF this AFFAIR surely. and there will be
trouble over 1t when the next Republican
State Convention meets.
MIR platt's friends said last night that he
had been criticised severely for recognizing
Mr.. Belden in the Onondaga contest at the
Convention which nominated Edward I. Bart
lett. Louis T. payn and John Dwight said
that Mr.. Platt had no thought ut The time Of
engaging in any controversy over The seating
Of the respective delegates OF Mr.. Hem
bricks and Mr.. Belden in that Convention.
They said that the Hendricks people we're
buncoed at the hearing before the Committee
on Contested Seats. which was held In the
Yates House. Syracuse. Just before the Con-
ventlon assembled. They declared that at the
meeting OF this committee one OF Mr. Beldens
friends got up and said that Mr.. Bedeu would
be satisfied II the delegation was made half
and half aud that Mr.. Hendricks friends did
not demur. However this may be. there will
be trouble In the future.
The struggle now between the Hendricks
and the Beden factions will be to secure the
delegates to the next state Convention. It's
very evident that the Belden p ople will elect
delegates and that the Hendricks people will
elect delegates. and one OF the knottiest prob
Ions ahead for Mr.. Platt to decide will be on
the admission OF these respective delegates
