TWO CONTESTS LIKELY.
Chairman Odell said last evening that he had
not received any notices Of contests, and did
not Srow that there would be contests for the
seats OF any delegates to the State convention.
It is believed by the politicians however that
there will be two contests which will have to
be referred to committee contested seats
One contesting delegation Will come from Rens
seaer County and the other will come from
Westchester County, II is thought. The hearing
of the contests Is not expected to keep the con-
vention waiting long. On the result of the con-
tests, it is said. may depend two possible
changes in the State Committee If a cOntesting
delegation from Rensselaer, County is allowed
10 vote In the convention Postmaster Joseph A
Leggett of Troy. may succeed Louis F. Payn
State committeeman from the XIXth Con-
gress District. The contest in Westchester
County is between the Burns and Ward fac
tions. usual, and If the Ward faction gets it's
delegation into the State convention ex-COn-
gressman William L. Ward may be State COM
mitteeman from the XVIth Congress District in
place of William H. Ten Eyck.
Other changes in the State Committee are
talked Of arranged for in the absence of con-
tests r. Ross Appleton probably will take the
place of w. c. Wallace from the lid District.
Robert T. Johnston is expected to succeed Alfred
T. Hobley from the With District. Ferdinand
Eidman wants to represent the XIth District in
place Of George Hilliard. 1t has been agreed
that William Henkel Will go into the State Com
mittee from the XIIth District taking the place
of Charles A. Hess. John Reisenweber, the
State Committeeman from the XIVth District, is
said to be willing to have the district repre-
sented by Lemuel Ely Quigg
The vacancy in the XXIst District. caused by
the death of J. lie Roy Jacobs. several months
ago. will be filled by the election Of Jacob Snen
of Amsterdam. The death of Richard Higbie. a
few days ago, made vacancy in the Ist Dis
trict, which was represented for many years by
Colonel William ]. YOungs, the Governors sec
retary. Colonel Youngs probably will go into
the state Committee again to fill the vacancy
