member of the committee from Ohio,
has declared that the only question
involved in these contests Is whether
or not the man is for Mckinney. and
that line of policy is what New FORK
objects to
AS tor the New York contests"
platt declared, they must be settled
in favor of the regular delegations.
There are twelve of them. | do not
now assume that they must be all SO
settled, but refer more particularly
To that arising in the Twelfth district
in New YORK city"
In the distric. 10 which Platt re-
ferrcd, Cornelius Bliss aud ;. V. Il.
Cfuger appear as contestees and How
ard Carroll and T.. W. Barnes as Platt
contestants.
eft Bliss and Crugcr are seated"
platt continued, with tight drawn
pursuing of his lips, 1.-THE delegation
from the state of New York will march
out of the convention hall"
Platt paused u moment and added,
as IL he had mentally pictured the re-
suit to himself, 1.-The place assigned to
the New York delegation in the con-
vention will look like a big hole with
a rim urounu it. The result will be
the same il an unjust decision is
reached in the Thirteenth district"
In the contest from the Thirteenth
distr ict referred To by Plat, William
:. Brooktield and Arson q McCook,
anti Plat men, are the contestecS, and
John Reiscnwebcr and Alexander T..
Mason the Platt contestants.
Plat made it as Enthusiastically clear
in his manner rs in his speech, that
he and his would bolt. There was
every suggestion OF sincerity,
1t is learned from members of the
national committee, none the less,
that in all probability the six Plat men
will be thrown ont and the other men
placed on the temporary roll.
When what Platt had said was re-
ported to Mr.. Hanna he declined to
discuss the matter in any way. Il
shall not get excited over this even il
Mr.. Platt sad it," he remarked, and
when assured that Mr.. Platt had
made the remark, he was not dis.
turbcd.
One of Platt's friends stated en-
phatically that the position OF Mr..
Piatt was that in case six regularly
elected delegates in New York should
be unscated, there would be sixty
more delegates who would walk out of
the convention. This view is contro.
verified by some Of the delegates from
New YORK now on the ground, who
say that there are from Twenty-Five to
thirty delegates from New York who
are ardent Mckinley men and cannot
be expected To follow Platt in any
such move.
Members of the national committee
think the talk OF n New York bolt Is
wholly for the purpose OF the intlu.
ence 1t may have on the decision of
contests yet to be decided.

the fight which is to be made for a
straight gold platform under the
leadership Of Mr.. Reeds lieutenant,
