the plotters weakened and sent warning
letter to a member of the Republican ma
tional committee. That letter was placed
in the hands of Secretary Charles Dick.
who referred it TO Chairman b. B. Odell,
of the New York state committee for in
vestigation. Chairman Odell engaged a de-
tective, who speedily verified certain i'm
portant allegations made in the warning
letter. Thereupon Mr.. Odell reported to
Secretary Dick, who laid all the facts be-
fore Chairman Mark Hanna.
"Mr. Odells report caused great alarm
among the Presidents close friends and
advisers. Mr.. Odell made it plain that he
regarded the plot as a matter of the ut
most seriousness, and urged that extreme
precautions be taken to keep the Presi-
dent out of harms reach Messrs Dick
and Hanna laid the whole matter before
the President shortly before he departed
for Canton. They instructed Mr.. Odell to
continue his investigation and cautioned
him TO work with the utmost secrecy.

Odell admitted that he and certain men,
