TURNING TOWARD ODELL.
POLITICIANS NOW THINK HE WILL BE
NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR.
DECISION MAY BE REACHED AT THE MEET
ING OF STATE COMMITTEE TO-MOR-
ROw-REPORTED STATEMENT
OF THE GOVERNOR

benjamin B. Oden, jr.. chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee according to general
belief last night is likely to be decided upon as
the Republican candidate for Governor at the
meeting of the State Committee at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel tomorrow. Organization leaders
from different parts of the State have been
communicating with Senator Platt and some Of
these leaders have personally expressed their
views to Mr.. Odell, with the result that last
night at the Fifth Avenue Hotel little else was
talked of than Mr.. Oden and his chances for
the Governorshp nomination.
1t reported that Governor Roosevelt in
conversation with Mr.. Odell at the Union League
Club, after his arrival from the West, last night,
told Mr.. Odell that he might as well stop pro-
testing and allow the delegates to have their
way, and it is said that he assured Mr.. Oden
that his chances for the nomination looked
bright The Roosevelt story was supplemented
later by one to the effect that General F. v.
Greene. chairman of the Republican County
Committee, had urged Mr.. Odeu to be a candi-
date. Louis F. Payn ex-Superintendent of In
surance. predicted yesterday that Mr.. Odell
would be nominated without opposition
Another caller who it is said, told Mr.. Odell
that the tide running toward the State
chairman for the nomination. Assembly
Otto Kelsey, of Livingston, chairman Of
the Committee on Cities in the Assembly last
winter.
The sudden revival of the Odell boom ap-
parently made Mr. Odeu uncomfortable yes
terday. and last night he went to the Oriental
Hotel. Manhattan Beach, and Senator
Platt It is understood that he will have a talk
with Senator Platt this morning, and decide
afterward whether or not it is wise to refuse
to be a candidate.
On Monday of last week Mr.. Odeu made a
statement the effect that he preferred TO be
State chairman and not a candidate for the Gov
ernorship His statement so positive that
it seemed as if he were out of the race, and other
candidates were considered. The friends OF Con-
gresham Serene r. Payne began to talk about
the superior qualifications of the Cayuga Con-
gresham The friends of Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff began working quietly in his behalf
and the race for the nomination seemed to be an
open
Then from the interior of the State came
rumors to the effect that if Mr. Odeu did not
remain candidate, a hard fight for the nomi-
nation would revive factonal differences, and
New-York prepared 10 insist that Mr.. Odell
reconsider his determination.

nomination the other booms will not be

WOMEN CUT TO PIECES
CHINESE MERCHANT DESCRIBES
SLAUGHTER AT PEKING.
By The Associated Press.)

CBy The Associated Press)
London, July 2O.-The Shanghai correspond
ent Of The Daily Express" says:
A Chinese merchant who has just arrived
from Picking gives horrible details of the
massacre. He says he European women
hauled into the street by shriekinG Boxers,
who stripped them and hacked them to
pieces Their discovered limbs were tossed
10 the crowd and carried off with hOvvIs of
triumph. Some already dead, having
been shot by foreign civilians.
He says he saw Chinese soldiers CARRYING
the bodies of white children aIoft on their
spears while their companions shot mt the
bodies He gives other details too horrible TO
be given here.
It seems that the Boxer leaders had or
ganized plan, including the offering of re-
wards and rich loot. for the annihilation of
Europeans throughout China, and that Prince
Tuan's generals have been emphasizing the op-
portunity the soldiers have of seizing the bodies
of white women
Intense Indignation is felt here at the honors
which the British in Hong-Kong have accorded
to Ii Hung Chang, who is looked upon in
Shanghai as the originator of the whole fendish
anti-foreiEn plot.
The same paper publishes the following from
Che-Foo. dated yesterday:
The Russians are hard pressed around New
Chwang and have been expelled from Tian-
Chwang-Tai, the scene Of the great fight in
me ChineSe-Japanese War, where they have
sustained heavy losses.
They have also been compelled to abandon
Iashl-ChoW by a large body of Boxers and
armed peasants, Here again the Russians lost
heavily, but it is reported that they succeeded
in killing 700 Of their assailants The Chinese
have completely demolished the railway north
OF Tashi-chow- The Russians are now in
New -ChWang.

London. July 2O,-"The Washington idea of
sending Mr.. Rockhin to China" says THE
Standard" editorially this morning is an ex-
cellent one. and might advantageousIy be ini-
tated by the British and other Governments
The Standard" then proceeds to comment upon
the great ignorance prevalent in Europe, not
only regarding recent events but regarding
Chinese affairs generally.
The Cabinet Council convened by Lord Sails
bury yesterday came day earlier than usual
and it is expected that it will be followed by a
statement in Parliament throwing light upon
the situation. The Chinese assertions that the
members Of the foreign legations are still safe
have been so often repeated that they are again
beginning to raise hopes in some quarters Ac-
cording TO THE Daily Telegraph's" St Peters
burg correspondent. however the Russian Gov
ernment is already in possession of definite news
that all the foreigners in Peking were massacred
on July 6.
NJ. Delcasse's circular only goes to prove that
far the Powers have failed to arrive at any
concerted plan of action.
Little further news is available this morning.
The Yokohama correspondent of THE Daily
Mail" who repeats his statements regarding the
jealousy felt among the allies on the subject of
a japanese commander-in-chief and the general
lack Of unity among them adds:
The japanese correspondents charge the Rus
sian soldiers with appalling barbarity toward
the Chinese. They declare that the PeiHo is
full Of the corpses Of women and children, and
that the Russians loaded 300 bodies junk
and burned them.
Shanghai reports that three mission stations
on Po-Yang Lake have been destroyed but it is
believed that the missionaries escaped. All the

Opposite Douglass Merritt's place and TWO
miles from his own, Mr.. AstOr undertook to
turn the machine around. The road is extremely
narrow at that point. and he had to cramp the
wheels very short. He must have Cramped them
too short. for suddenly the automobile turned a
sonersault and father and son were thrown out
with great force The boy struck in a soft spot
on some grass and was not hurt but Colonel
