Gov. Odell came down from Albany
yesterday afternoon. The Governor met
Senator Plntt and Chairman George W
Dunn Of the Republican State Committee
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the three
had a pleasant little talk Col Dunn re-
tsrned to his home in Binghamton The
Governor went on to review the Naval
Militia This morning he is to have break
fast with senator Plat at the hotel
Little or nothing Of Importance occurred
between the three Republicans in their
short interview at the hotel last evening.
The responsible talk will be between Gov.
0dell and Senator Plat at breakfast this
morning The chief topic of conversation
will then be Gov. Odell's Mortgage Tax
bill
Gov. Odeil has ascer;ained that there
ia strong opposi ion on the par OF Repub-
lcaIs from all sec, ions OF the s, ate to his
revenue tax bills. Many lie ters have been
read wherein Republicans declare Il 20 be
their opinion that the Governor has gone
clean daffy on his tax bills" Only he

proclaimed from housetops. All that is
definitely known at the moment is that the
Governor and Senator Plat are to get their
heads together this morning and discuss
freely. frankly and candidiv the Governor's
revenue tax bills. 1t is already known,
also, that nothing definite is expected out
OF this conference between the Governor
and the Senator. for the reason that the
situation has become so grave and the criti-
cisms Of the Governors tax bills are so
general from all parts OF the State that,
will be further conferences at Albany be-
tween the Senators and the Assembymen
as to the wisdom OF pressing the bills TO
passage.
You see. the old-line Republicans are
not accustomed to having a Governor tell
any member OF the party that such and such
q bill or bills emanated from a wiser head
and 70 go upstairs and vote with your

drastic innovation In Republican State
politics at the time, was not introduced at

For weeks ana even months many Re- |

Odell and Platt. or between Platt and Odell?- |
The question has been taken up in different |
forms and many answers have been given.
A. matter Of fact, the inquiries have been
made by Republican, with considerable
anxiety. Those best informed have said
all along that there would not he any
