Republicans wonder why II Took Them
So Long to Find That Out.
Republicans with good red blood In their
veins asked unpleasant questions at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday concerning
the interview which Mr.. Higgins, Governor
Chairman Odelrs candidate for Governor
handed out the day before. which the Gov
ernor Chairman solemnly announced to
be correct statement about Mr.. Higgins
candidacy.
The curious Republicans wanted to know
what explanation Governor Chairman Odel
could now make Of his course In sending out
thousands upon thousands OF autograph
letters all over the State TO Republicans
who refuse to vote for Mr.. Higgins, asking
for an explanation Of the independent
course OF these Republicans. II Mr.. Hig-
gins 10 not Governor Chairman Odelps
candidate for Governor, why does he send
out these letters to the recalcitrant Repub-
leans? was one OF the questions asked.
If Mr. Higgins Is not the Governors Chair
mans candidate for Governor why should
he make such personal matter Of Mr..
Higginss electionY was another OF the
questions. Still another question was,
Why did Mr.. Higgins wait until thirty days
after Governor-C Chairman Odells conven-
ion adjourned at Saratoga before attempt
ng to say that he was not Governor Chair
man Odells candidate for Governor?
In fact, those Republicans at the hotel
were walking interrogation points.
