not be a record, but they think it is. and are

money was in to cover her share. If it was not
there she did not feel called on TO leave the

Hotel Savoy and received message from her
lawyer, at the West End Theatre, that the ad-

CONFERENCE WITH PLATT
Senator'S Friends to Oppose OdelPs
Plans, Says Report.

Senator PIatt had a conference at his Office
yesterday with a number of leaders in the Re
publican organization. George r. Sheldon.
member Of TIE Republican National Committees
Lemuel E. Quigg, ex-president OF the Repub-
lican County Committee: Postmaster Cornelius
Van Colt. W. H. Ten Eyck, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Republican County
Committee NJ. Linn Bruce, president of the
County Committee: Edward Lauterbach and
others saw Senator Platt. None would say what
had occurred Senator Platt was the most reti-
cent of all
1t is understood that Governor odelrs general
plan for recognizing and improving the Re
publican organization in this county contem-
plates the retirement of Mr. Bruce as president
of the County Committee 1t is also understood
that the Governor personally is fond of Mr..
Bruce. but that he believes the best interests Of
the organization will be served If Mr.. Bruce re-
tires and a district leader succeeds him. MI
Bruce il is reported will be cared for otherwlse-
It was said last night that Mr. Bruce would see
Governor Odell to-day and talk over the situa-
ton with him.
Governor oden will not come to the city to-
day. as was originally intended He will remain
in Albany and will consult there with various
leaders of the organization from various parts
of the State.
Some of those who were interested in the con-
ference said that Senator Plat and his followers
were not inclined to agree entirely with the
Governor and that some opposition to his plans
would develop. 1t was intimated that the plan
for retiring NJ Linn Bruce as president OF the
Republican County Committee was one of the
things that would be opposed. 1t was declared
by some of Senator Platts friends that at the
meeting Of the Republican County Committee
On December IL when president Of the County
Committee would be elected any attempt to
supersede Mr. Bruce by some one else would
be fought by the friends of Senator Platt-
The air was charged with rumors that there
would be a fight between the Platt men and the
followers of Governor Odell. and that the first
clash would come in the proposed changes in
the county committee. This was followed by
stories that the proposition to retire Colone
George w. Dunn as chairman of the Republican
the friends of Senator Platt in that organization
NJ Linn Bruce when asked last night whether
he would stand for reelection as president OF
the county committee. would not discuss the
subject 1t is said that he prefers to wait until
he has talked with Senator Plat, President
Roosevelt and Governor Odell.
The friends OF Governor Odell asserted that
he would go ahead and carry out his plans for
recognizing the party and bringing it up to
higher state of efficiency. 1t was declared that
the stories of opposition to his plans came from
trouble makers and that Senator Platt was not
at all in sympathy with them. All the talk
was from those who said this isn't for publica-
ton you know and then talked about what
was going TO happen.
