day, on his return to Albany from

the Republican party in this city. Mr..
Odell when seen at the Republican
Club, said that the conference had
brought about harmony in place of the
badly strained relations which had ex-
listed; that Senator Plat is still the
leader of the party in the state, but that
he himself would hereafter take a more
active part in it's management; that the
restoration of cordial relations had been
brought about by concessions on both
sides, and that further details of the
conference were not of interest to
persons, but to the party
In regard to the vote of this state in
the Republican National convention he
said that he had always expressed him
self as believing that it would be given
to President Roosevelt.

statement about the result of the con-
ference at Washington, yesterday, on

conference and arranged matters in a
way satisfactory to both sides. Senator

him.

of the conference was eminently salts

active in politics in this state than l
have been. You may draw any infer

Yes was the reply. Il think the
local Republican organization can be
improved and l have my ideas about
improving it,
Are the reports true that Senator
Platt is out of it altogether"
Senator Platt." the Governor re-
piled with great solemnity, should be
regarded as the state leader as long
as he lives"
How about the vote of this state in
the Republican National convention"
II have never expressed any doubt
that it would be given to Roosevelt and
I do not like repeated questions on
that point" he replied.
