Leaders Plead Illness ina Their
Families as an Excuse for Staying
Away-Governor Not to BE Present.
NEW YORK. March 23--No upstate
Republican, Of prominence were at State
headquarters or at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel this morning, but reports from all
sections OF the State disclosed sudden
and violent outbreak of Illness in the
homes Of Senators. Assemblynen, and To-
cal Republican leaders. The nature of the
disease that has suddenly attacked mem
bers of the families of Republican states
men was not disclosed in the dispatches
| that have been received, but it Is so seri-
Gus that several of the Senators and AS
sembIymen viii be unaeIe to attend the
| conference with Senator Plat TO be held
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel tomorrow af-
ternoon.
The conference has been called to dis
cass Mr.. Platt's proposed Metropolitan
Police District bill which Governor odeu
has refused to sign, if passed by The Leg
islature.
The few Republican politicians in The
city today say that the result Of the con-
ference is already known. The State
Senators and Assembiymen viii decide
| shat it is not wise to attempt 10 pass a
new Police bill with the Governor oppos-
ed. As result of their decision. it Is
said. no such bill win be introduced in the
Legislature. When the matter has been
talked over, it is expected that Senator
Platt viii issue a statement in which he
win say that he never was really in ia
yor Of a State Constabulary or Metro
politan Police District bill; that it was all
newspaper talk, and that the plan has
been abandoned and there is perfect har-
mony in the party.
At the same time, 1t is asserted BY Re-
publican politicians. the Senator VIII
quietly go TO work TO secure the cleo
ton Of delegates TO the State Convention
Of 1862, who viii not vote for the re-
nomination of Governor OdelI But that
is only gossip.
What is told as fact today is that
there is to be no fight between the Gov
ernor and the Senator. Governor Odeu
is TO attend a dinner in the city tonight
and his friends say that he VIII call on
Senator Plat tomorrow morning. He
will not attend the conference in the
afternoon because his position on any
proposed police legislation is known and
he is not going to change his mind. All
local Republicans are sure that there viii
be no further police legislation this year.
