AGREEMENT IS REACHED
 BY PLATT AND ODELL
SUNDAY CONFERENCE RESULTS
 IN SETTLEMENT.
Governor to be Elected Chairman of State Central Committee to Succeed Colonel Darn while Senator Piatt is Conceded all allAiIsgianoes oe as Recognized Leader of Republican orsanizatloa of the stase.

Leader of Republican organizatioa of the stafe.
 New York, March 20.-At confer ence held this afternoon between Sena- tor Thomas c. Platt, Governor Odell, Chairman Dunn, of the republican state central committee, and many other
 prominent republicans of the state it
 was agreed that Governor Odell should be elected chairman of the state con-
 mittee at the approaching convention in April succeeding Colonel Dunn, who has been regarded as a Platt ad- herent.
 The result of the conference was gem orally interpreted as being equivalent to a complete settlement of all the points at issue between Governor Odel
 and Senator Platt, the basis of the coni- pact being the acceptance by the gover-
 nor of the chairmanship of the state
 committee This is said to have been the point for which the governor was contending, and in return for the con- cessiOn he conceded allegiance to Sena- tor Platt as the recognized leader of the republican organization of the state. After this had been accomplished the
 governor and National Committeeman George R. Sheldon shook hands and de- clared themselves to be again in har- mony.
 A copy of the agreement reached by
 the governor and Senator Platt was forwarded to President Roosevelt by
 the senator with personal telegram from himself
 Senator Platt said after the confer-
 ence: The atmosphere has been clear ed absolutely as a result of the plain talk we had to-day. Republicans in New York had good cause for alarm up to noon to-day. It looked as if the
 party might go to the devil, but all that has been avoided I don't think
 any one could have brought together
 the large number of leaders from all
 parts of the state which met with me to-day, and later met the governor, aside from myself and one or two oth- CTS, who put the success of the party above all personal considerations Are we to look to you as our lead- err" Governor Odell was asked No; you are to look to Senator Platt," was the reply.
