The Executive Committee of the Republican
County Committee heard a lively discussion yester-
day afternoon when it met 10 talk over campaign
work Alexander T. Mason. the leader in the
XxIXth District started the discussion. He criti-
cised the action OF General Greene president of the
County Committee In permitting the opposition TO
the machine In the XXIXth to secure advance cop
les Of the regular ticket at the primaries The op
position made of the information thus obtained
by printing tickets IN such to deceive
many voters at the primaries. While the regular
ticket won at the primaries. Mr.. Mason expressed

nents OF district leader in district fight

trict, also complained that the opposition 10 him
at the primaries had been aided by the County
Committee.
General Greene's course was defended by Cap
tain F Norton Goddard and John Sabine Smith

ODELL GAINS DISTRICT LEADERS.
HE WANTS THE STRONGEST MAN NOM
MATED FOR HIS RUNNING MATE.

Many Republican district leaders went to tke
State headquarters in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, yes
terday and gave 10 B. B. OdeI. ir the chairman
of the State Committee their personal assurances
that they for his nomination for Governor
Several OF them expressed desire 10 know who
was favored by Mr. CdeIl for Lieutenant-G Governor.
Mr.. Odell told them ne had preference. He
wanted the convention to nominate THE strongest
man. the man who could get the most votes for
the entire ticket.
Talk about renominating Lieutenant-CIovernor
Woodruff with the rest of the State ticket was
heard at the State headquarters but II said by
some of Mr.. WoodrufT's friends from Brooklyn that
he did not desire denomination. II said that
Mr. Woodruff would not be a candidate for the
nomna ton for Governor in opposition to Mr.. Odell
but that he did not desire another term as Lieu
tenant-Governor. Mr. Odell would not express any
opinion to desirability OF renominating Mr..
Woodruff.
State Senator Nevada N stranahan was men
toned yesterday a possible candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor. Senator Stranahan is 10 be the
peJus neuu chairman of the State convention while
Nh W4e4fyua is to be the temporary chairman.
State Senator Horace White, it said yester-
day, is the only svowed candidate for the uomi-
nation for Northumberland. There said
10 be twoT6bJections him by Of the polit-
ical leaders. One objection is that he is the
father of the White Civil Service law and the
other objection is that he is not a resident Of
New-York City. Many politicians. il was said
yesterday, do not feel enthusiasm for the nomi-
nation OF a Cjvil Service reformer. There is a
feeling among many OF the politicians that If the
present State officers are to be renominated. in
asmuch as none # them live in this city and the
candidate for Governor is 10 be a Newburg man,
the candidate for Leutenant-Governor should be
a New-York City man.
Mr. Oden said yesterday that there had been
no agreement among the leaders as 10 a candidate
for Lieutenant-Go and he did not think
there could be such agreement in advance Of
the meeting of the State convention at Saratoga.
Senator Patt and Mr. OdeH probably will go to
with many of the leaders from up the State on
Sunday and Monday.

CROKER pENIEs sTUMPING STORY

Mr. Croker declared that he was not going
to take the stump as reported. Il am no
orator" he said. Il wish 1 was. All my talk
ing will be done in committee rooms and at
councils
While both Mr.. Colers friends and those who
oppose him in Kings County each assert that
the sixty three votes from Kings will be on their
side. yet they always at pains 10 discIaim
that they speak for Mclaughlin. Senator Me-
Carren who is the spokesman OF the anti-Coler
combine in Kings, said yesterday:
Kings will certainly vote as a unit. The
sxty-three votes VIII all go one way
Which way will that be-for against
Coler?"
II won't say anything about that simply
say that the coUntys vote will be cast as unit
on whatever candidate is determined upon. I
am unable to say what Kings County will do In
the convention. The organization won a VIC
tory. and that should tell its own story"
You think Hill is entirely out Of IT, don't
you?" was asked
1T looks very much that way" responded
Senator McCarren Very much that way"
At State headquarters there were many callers
from up the State yesterday. A table was made
OF the Hill and Croker strength in the State as
shown by the primaries. A Hill victory was
claimed both in Albany and in Monroe counties
Rochester going strongly for Hill. The result Of
the COHipuldllOH WdS Indlt WIN hinSS county
left as uncertain, the vote stood.

When asked about the primaries, he said the
result did not affect his candidacy for Governor

Il did not make myself factor in the prirua-
ries" said Mr. Coler. "and the result does not
affect my candidacy. I in the same posi-
tion 1 was in yesterday. II the young men OF

they don't shall support the man who Is nonni
