HIS RESIGNATION IRREvOCABLE - VAN
COLT MAY SUCCEED HIM.
An Informal caucus OF Republican organisation
leaders was held at the county headquarters NO
Madison-ave., at p. m. yesterday. THOSE present
had been summoned by Edward Lauterbach over
the telephone for the purpose OF giving the" MS
final and, az he said. his rrevocable decision re-
garding his resignation president OF the Repup-
lican County Committee. Many OF the disrict
leaders were present including f. S. GIBBS Cor
nelus Van Colt, George r. Bidwell George Is.
Deane Abraham Gruber. William Henke, freo-
erlck Haldy George r Manchester. John Reisen-
weber. George w. Wanmaker. Frank J. Drummond
and several others.
Mr.. Lauterbach discussed the considerations
which made his resignation imperative. the falling
health of his wife, mis- business interests ana law
practice, and the excessive demands upon his time
and private means which tho place OF head OF the
County Committee had entailed. The point par
ticularly emphasized by Mr.. Lauterbach. II was
said, that the post had been much TOO costly
for him to retain. with present prospect OF re-
endorsement
1T is useless" he said in reply to urgent ap-
pcals induce him to serve the rest OF the year,
''for my mind Is made up shall offer my resigna-
ton at the meeting Of the County Committee next
Thursday evening, and 1t is final and irrevocable.
The scene which followed this positive announce
ment OF his decision reminded committeeman VINO
was present of the historic occasion at Fon'aine-
beau when Napoleon Dade 1areWeH W MS behttdI'.
The old boys crowded around the little president
and wrung both his hands and filled the air Win
their fearful adeIs.
Plans for the future subsequently talked over
and included arrangements for hllng the Once 70
become vacant. Several members and ex -members OF
the County Committee are understood TO be candl,
dates succeed Mr.. Lauterbach but they are barred
present because they oiicehoders. 1t was de-
cided that the amendment abrogating TINS pro-
vision of the constitution. notice OF which was
given at the April meeting OF the committee, should
be introduced at next Thursday evening meeting
and pushed to adoption without needless delay BY
holding a special meeting 1t may be got through
within month. In the mean time George H. BIO
