greatly disappointed because Mr.. Cannon

ODELL VS.. PLATT.
A Hot Time Expected in New York
From Now On Between The Re
publican Factions.


Special to Baltimore Evening Herald.
New York, Oct. l9.-Old timers at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel were amazed yesterday at the
spectacle of the old republican boss of the
state, Thomas c. Platt, making his way by a
side entrance to the rooms of the new repub-
lican boss, - Benjamin B. OdelI, Jr., and
pleading for the reelection of Chancey NJ.
Depew to the United States Senate.
Ii was shortly before 3 o clock when Sen
ator Depew walked into the hotel. Presently
cab rumbled across Twenty third street, and
vanced slowly into the hotel with Senator
Platt. The walk upstairs was accomplished
with difficulty. Reaching the first landing,
the two senators went to one OF the private
doors in the Odell suite, and there they found
the Governor chairman awaiting them.
Senator Platt, for years accustomed TO CIV
ing commands, took up the role Of pleader.
he told the new boss of his continued IN
terest in the success of the party.
Il have written -, 900 letters TO my personal
friends throughout the state, Senator Platt
declared, urging them as a personal favor TO
me to stand by the entire ticket, national as
well as state.
Senator Plat asked whether the Governor
chairman would favor or oppose the reelection
of his old friend Depew TO The Senate mex
January. Senator Depew reminded the Gov
eruor that tor weeks and weeks he had been
going about the state making speeches for The
ticket and doing his utmost in It's behalf He
made IL plain that he believed a reelection 10
be no more than his due.
Governor Odell declared that his position
regarding the senatorship was the same as u
had always been.
The senatorial election. he saId, will
not take place until next January. just now
| am too much absorbed with other matters 20
take up that question. Until next January /
shall do nothing either for or against YOU, Sen
ator Depev. and until then shall DO nothing
tor or against any other republican who may
be a candidate for that office.
Thus WIS the second time within a lew
months that Plat and Depew bad tried to get
a definite promise Of support from the new
boss. As soon MS they realized that this
effort promised 20 he no more successful than
the previous one. they discussed the stale sIt
cation for q few minutes longer. and lett. IL
was the understanding Of the Odell men thai
the two senators left the hotel satisfied that
they could force Depew's reelection, mo- matter
