DISAGREE rs TO DATE.
Difference Of Opinion Regarding

Governor OdeU left the city early yesterday
and went to Albany In order to attend the din
uer Of tho newspaper correspondents last night.

stories about a fight between himself aud Sena-
tor Platt for control OF the State Committee
amusing. Tie viii probably return 90 the city
later in the week and be on hand for the meet
ing Of the Republican state Committee on
Saturday
There will undoubtedly be a division Of opinion
~ the state Committee ts 90 the date % holding
the state Convention. some believe That the
convention should bs called early. and New
York State which Is the Preside ut's STATE. wheel
into the lead iu the campaign. Governor Odcil
takes this view. Senator Platt and others think
that the convention should hC held later abOut
April %. II was said last night that there
would be no clash and that no fight would take
place. The committee viii probably DO nothing
more than call the state Convention.
The question Of Colonel Durn's retirement az
state chairman is rot likely 10 come IN at this
meeting At the April convention. however, Il
may become acute. Those who have been

The Republican Advisory Committee Of which
Cornelius y. Bliss is chairman will hold q

that three new members will Ice added to the
