support of the New-York delegation. This re-
port seemed to amuse Senator Platt when he
asked about it.
MY talk with Senator Fairbanks" he said
was along general lines. 1 don't think he
wants the nomination for Vice-President. He
didn't say anything to me about It,"
How about the County Committee" was
asked.
II do not expect an answer from Mr.. Bruce
before Tuesday" replied the Senator. THE sit
uation is unchanged I believe that he will
cept the place. but I have authoritative re
ply from him that he will. We all hope that he
will"
Senator Platt was asked about President
Roosevelt's speech at Huntington Long Island
in favor of a larger navy. He replied: Il be-
lieve that should have an adequate navy
but 1 have not heard just what the President
asked for. l think he knows his business. and
l believe that he should be upheld"

some time in September, when the campaign
opens. Senator Platt said: We'll. Ridder is all
right. That is what l have urged
Then you still in doubt about Low?' was

Mr.. Low is the strongest man the fusion forces
can nominate. Possibly may change my mind
before convention time. but I feel that way now
