oDELL's VISIT POSTPONED.
White House Conference on City Politics
Off for the Present.
FB7 TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Washington Dec Ex-Governor Odells an
nounced visit to this city tomorrow has been
postponed and the conference on New-fork
City political conditions which was scheduled
to take place between President Roosevelt. Sen
ator Platt and Governor OdeIl is accordingly off
It is believed that this will simply result In a
postponernent of the conference. The Governor
announced his decision not to come, by telegraph,
to the President this morning, and Senator
Platt learned of 1t in his long talk with the
President Consideration of Mayor Lows ad-
rninstration, which was believed to be the OBJ
ject of the Governors visit. is accordingly de-
ferred. Senator Platt said this morning:
There never was any programme about the
conference, despite those cooked up in the press
Still it is quite likely that at such conference
Mayor Lows administration would be consld-
cred. I learned of the Governors change OF
mind from the President this morning.
Another subject generally believed to be held
in allegiance pending this conference is the re-
election Of Robert C. Morris as chairman Of the
County Committee. Mr.. Morris conferred with
President Roosevelt last summer at Oyster Bay
and it is believed that the matter will be left
open until a conference between these three men
takes place II Is regarded probable that il
Governor Odel does not come to Washington
before December IS the date of the Presidents
first state dinner the Cabinet, he will be
present then as the Governor of New-York and
as a White House guest.
