How did you get the contract" asked a Trib-
une reporter of Mr.. Hopkins yesterday. after the
reporter had made an inspection of the bales
and bundles of tents ready for the truckman.
why. IL was easy enough" said Mr.. Hopkins.
I'VE made lot of tents for our own army dur
ing the Spanish American War. and when we got
the hang of the thing we just sailed right In and
underbid the Englishmen for one lot Of five thou
sand fifteen-foOt tents. We are Just conceited
enough to believe that there no such tents in
the English army these sending. They
are made of cotton duck, and as tight as a
board. The English made tents are, We under
stand made exclusively of flax. They'll come to
cotton duck tents sooner later. because the
wind can't get through them. It's cold weather
in the Transvaal now and the warmer a tent is
the better it is for Tommy Atkins.
Il want TO make the prediction added Mr..
Hopkins. that Sir Thomas Upton won't win
cotton duck sails. The wind will get through

HUNTING QUIGGS SUCCESSOR.
EFFORT TO CHANGE THE RULES OF THE
COUNTY COMMITTEE ABANDONED

Lemuel E. Quigg is not yet ready to resign the
presidency Of the Republican County Committee
He has declared that he will resign when the COM
mittee is ready to elect his successor. The COM
mittee IL Is we'll known, will be ready until It
has found a man who will suit Senator Platt and
who will take the job The trouble in finding the
right man Is Mr.. Quiggs reason for holding on
and the prospects that he will hold on for
several weeks longer.
Since Collector Bdwen allowed to back
Of an offer to be Qugg's successor several of the
district leaders who have been trying to find an
other man for the place have been consulting with
Senator Plat and with prominent Republicans of
NeW-1ork County, and last week. when Senator
Patt was IN the city. they thought they had found
the right man. Senator Plat willing to
cept the man mentioned, although he had ex-
pressed a wish to have Chairman Ode OF the State
Committee consulted. Mr.. Odell is in California on
pleasure trip, ard will not return TO New-York
until near the end of this month. Plans were
formed TO have a change made in the rules and
regulations of the County Committee so as to re-
lieve the president OF the responsibility for the
work In the campaign. 1t being understood that
the man the leaders had in view did not want to
devote too much time to political work.
The present rules make the president Of the
County Committee chairman of the Executive Com
mittee, and clothe him with power for directing
the work of the organization In the campaign. 1t
was planned to amend the rules so as to permit
the appointment of another chairman of the Ex-
ecutive Committee who should have all the power
and allow the president of the County Committee
to be an ornamental fgurehead. The plans for
such change had gone so far that It was
pected to have the necessary resolutions intro
duced at the meeting of the County Committee on
Thursday evening of this week.
At the last minute, almost the who had
been selected by the leaders take the presidency
Of the County Committee declined to be a candi-
date stating reasons. which made his declinat ton
positive. His refusal spoiled all the plans which
had been formed. and left the situation ii
weeks ago when Collector Bidweu backed out
The hunt for a man will be continued, but In the
mean time the plans for the amendment of the
rules of the County Committee have been aban-
doned.
Mr.. Quigg has been watching the hunt for a
man to succeed him with considerable interest.
and he said yesterday that five problems in
VOlved in the choice OF his successor. 1T will be
necessary he said. Ito ind a man. first who can
be elected president of the County Committee:
