WORTH NOT DISCIPLINED.
The main interest In yesterdays meeting cen
! tired i'm the action which the committee might
/ take on local issues. a report had been circu-
/ lated 10 the effect that Mr.. Platt had con-
/ cludad 10 use the power Of the State Committee
| To administer punishment 10 Jacob Worth, Of
| Brooklyn. FOR his temerity in presumlng to sup
/ port Mir Low for Mayor. II did not take long
/ after the committeeman began to gather at the
/ Firth Avenue Hotel yesterday morning TO eX-
/ rl1de this story. II the organization chiefs
seriously entertained the project OF dlsciplining
Mr. Worth. somewhat after the manner OF the
/ Democratic state Committee In the case of
County Clerk Henry d. Purroy. as was pre-
dictcd. they thought better OF II. Mr. Worth
escaped Indictment.
The address which goes out To the Republican
electors Of the state this morning. with the State
Committees stamp Of approval. has been in
course OF preparation for fortnight or more.
Senator Platt who Originally outlined its con-
tents has examined II with Where he
thought improvements could be made. he sug
gestcd them. and nobody doubts that the Sena-
tors suggestions received prompt attention. It
was submitted 10 Chaunccy NJ Depew for such
additions and bluc-pencllling as he might think
would improve the document. Edward Lauter-
bach criu, ally and studously overlooked It. and
Congressman QugG also gave IT the benefit Of
his classic style and vast knowledge of politics.
Then II went through the hands OF the State
Committees subcommittee. composed OF Sena-
tor Krum. of Srhoharie: cX-Assemblyman Henry
T.. Ah"l!. Of Brooklyn; William Barnes jr., OF
Albany; City Magistrate Clarence w Meade,
OF this city, and John t. Parkhurst. of Bath.
After running the gantlet Of all these revisers
II was noticeable that in spite OF a great deal Of
blustcr and pother about the ineffabe cussedness
Of the Citizens Union word permitted TO
remain In the address which might be construed
to interfere with the nomination of Seth Low
for Mayor, II the eXgencics OF the situation
make this the best thing to be done before it is
too late.
