sonld get any opinion that wa desired as TO
Ia Republican situation IN the State. The
nSpublican state Committee meeting on Sat-

republicans to New York city for the purpose

On Saturday. after the meeting OF the Repub-
Bcan State Committee. only those holding
oflce under Gov. Black were present, and their
Negtimony as to the Governors strength in the

some Republicans to refuse himh denomination.
As a matter OF fact. there has been no final
decision as to the man who IL to be the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor. and nc decision
will be forthcoming for some little time. The
~pituation must develop itself. Most Of the Repub-
Means who called on Senator Plat did not hesi-
tate to say that while Gov. Black could be
reelected II renominated. they believed. never
theless, that Col. Roosevelt would be q much
stronger candidate. There were Repub-
licans who said that they did not be-
