The action of the Republicans in the XX1Xth
District in leaving the name of Robert c. Nor
ris, president of the Republican County Com
nittee off the primary ticket was denounced in
round terms yesterday by Senator Plat. Mr..
Morrs's friends and Republicans generally It
appears to have been sharp political trick on
the part of some of the district Republicans to
repay real or fancied grievance against Mr.
Morris 1t will not be effective. however, as
Senator Platt stated yesterday that Mr. Morris
would be sent to the convention from another
district and would be returned to the County
Committee and elected president again.
Mr.. Norris called Senator Platt at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday morning and
talked over the situation with him. After this
conference Mr. Morris said:
Certain Republicans in the AXIXth District
imagine they have a grievance against me, ana
acting on that idea they left my name off the
ticket to be voted day in the primary election
1t is unfortunate that such MISUNDERSTANDING
should occur but if fight on me is to be pre-
cipitated 1 am determined to resist it. l shah

After the conference with Senator Platt II oe

The result of the primaries indicated pretty
plainly that the Republicans of that district ola
not relish the plan of the local Republicans to
slight Mr. Morris. Last year the Republicans
cast over thirteen hundred votes al the pri-
r7aries in this district Yesterday less than
eight hundred votes We're cast. This remarkable
falling off is due to the fact that Republicans
manifested their displeasure by remaining away
from the polls
