more harmony into the state campaign He
came to town, vert TO the Democratic Club and
sent word to Mr. Mcclure that the meeting

official" notice issued:
II has been decided to hold the meeting of the
State Committee, the State Executive Commit
tee and ths meeting of the county chairmen at
the Grand Union Hotel. Saratoga Springs, at

Springs as the meeting place. many of the
members Of the various committees are either
in Saratoga in the mountains and Chairman
Frank Campbell has agreed to have the meeting
at that place
Chairman Mcclure was asked yesterday IL he
had seen Mr.. Croker and said: mo. have not
seen him to-day but I may see him some time
this week"

or have you received any messages from him7'
Il have talked with good many people over
the telephone and received messag es from
good maay people," replied Mr.. Mcclure eva
slvely
What is the reason for the second change in
the meeting place OF the State Committee" was
the next question.

State and the city found" replied Mr.. Nc
CURE. that It would be more convenient to
hold the committee meeting in Saratoga Springs.
We found that good many people would be
there at that time and that's all there is to It,"
Mr.. MCGUIRE was asked why 1t was that the
State Committee meeting called by Mr..
Campbell when Mr.. Campbell not here TO
call it, He answered that Mr.. Campbell
