Yesterday giving orders to the Tammany
Hall Republicans who dominate the New
York Republican county committee. The
Governor-C Chairman is TO be absent in st.
Louis for ten days, and yesterdays orders
are to be in force during that period Some
of the Tammany Hall Republicans with
whom the Governor-C Chairman talked were
Abe Gruber, the Tammany Hall Republican
leader of the Twenty-first district; Will
lam Halpin and Armitage Mathews,
respectively, the Tammany Hall Republican
chairman Of the executive committee and
the secretary Of the county committee. and
Michael Hines, the Tammany Hall Repub-
lican leader of the second district, whom
Governor Chairman Odell made secretary
OF the Lunacy Commission
Hines told friend that he didn't care
much for the job of secretary OF the com
mission, that his son could fill that place
for him, but that he didn't want his bust
ness places in New York city disturbed
Several years ago there was pistol
episode in Newburg, and one of the actors,
Democrat to whom the Governor Chair
man later gave a place. recently died in
Albany. There were Oddities who breathed
fire and slaughter at Saratoga IA Hines
did yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
and everybody grinned just as they grinned
at Saratoga.
Governor Chairman Odell expressed no
sentiments personal or official, concerning
the astounding declaration that:
For the first time in its history the En-
pire State has Governor whose personal
integrity rests under widespread suspicion
lie has surrounded himself by high officials
and advisers under whose malign influence
the public revenues OF the State are largely
diverted to private profit.
Governor Chairman Odell later in the
day lined up the Brooklyn Republican
leaders headed by Executive Chairman
Jacob Bremen. Timothy l.. Woodruff,
Republican leader of Kings county, was not
present. Chairman Bremen and his asso-
ciates we're informed just what had been
done in New York county concerning the
selection Of deputy leaders. or "chowder
Dot warmers" and were appraised that
the same system is to be carried out in Broo-
lyn. All the leaders must submit to the
appointment OF the +chowder pot warmers
whether they like it or not.
The Governor Chairman told them they
must not give out what had happened, but
he gave it out himself this time. He had
aN,epested to the Brooklyn leaders the
sdvisability" of following the same course
he had insisted should be adopted in the
districts Of this county--the appointment
of deputy leaders in each OF the Brooklyn
districts
Il told them" the Governor Chairman
said. athat they would be able to do better
work IL they had assistants In their districts
told them also that il they could not find
these assistants themselves ] would provide
the help want them to have.
THAT means that there will be a system
of deputy leaders established in BROOKLYN"
il was asked.
We'll. ] wouldn't call them deputies; I
would call them rather voluntary assist
ants the Governor Chairman replied, 1T
has been stated that the men who have
been appointed to help the district leaders
in this CITY are to be paid, but il that is 80
thew are not to be paid by mel mean by
that that they will not be paid by the State
committee If they are TO be paid, the
money will have to come from some other
source
will the men who will assist the leaders
in BROOKLYN he sent from this city or will
they he men attached to the Republican
organization in Brooklyn?'
THAT is something that has not yet been
determined upon" the Governor-Chalrman
replied.
Many of the Brooklyn leaders who at
tended the conference were by no means
enthusiastic over the suggestion made by
the Governor-Chairman Although none
Of them could be induced to say how he
felt about the proposition. it was learned
that they will probably kick against the
effort to send Odell men to their districts
practically to supplant them
I, hnf n
made objections to the plan at the meeting
whereupon Mr. Odell retorted that he had
been having a canvass of his own made
in BROOKLYN and that he knew how large a
vote the Republican leaders in that borough
ought TO get out, and then after making
t,is yeiled threat he said insnu atingly
that II would he impossible for the leaders
20 get out the full Republican vote in their
districts without assistance which would
help them to make a house to house can
vass.
The leaders, however, did not jump at
the scheme, some OF them, in fact. 1t is
said intimated that they wanted to discuss
the matter with others (ex-Lieut. Gov.
Woodruff. for instance) before consenting
to 1t and il was finally decided that moth
inc definite should be done until another
conference was held after the Governor
Chairman comes back from st. Louis.
All that was given out about his con-
ference with some of the Tammany Hall
Republican leaders was that the sole pur-
pose of the gathering was to give them an
opportunity of presenting to the Gov
erpor- Chairman the editors Of four Jewish
daily newspa pers and Of twelve Jewish
weeklies, who had promised to support the
Republican tickets.
After the meeting one OF the LEADERS,
who is himself Hebrew, said to a SUN
reporter: =, ,. 40, o,o tho I.ws
