Republicans In the New York county
committee made the announcement last
evening that serious trouble was brewing
in the committee because Governor-Chair-
man Odell and William Halpin, the Tam
many Hall Republican, who is chairman
Of the executive committee, had not paid
the So a day to the four registry clerks in
each election district for the four days of
registration.
The registry clcriis, it was learned, were
very much disgruntled In the first place
because tho Governor Chairman and Mr.
Halpin had cut them down to So a day,
whom in all previous Presidential years
since 1880, they had received s. a day.
But now that they were cut down to So
and haven't got their money yet, very
general grimbling was heard.
Things are running queer, anyhow ac-
cording to Republicans in New York county
who do not like the management of Gov
ernor- Chairman Ode!l and Mr.. Halpin, or
Abe Gruber, the Tammany Hall Republican
leader Of the Twenty-frst district; Armitage
secretary of the New York Republican
county committee, and the dozen more
Tammany Hall Republican Assembly dis
trict leaders in the committee The Repub-
lioan voters in many districts, 1t was learned
from the leaders, do not view with COM
placency the domination of MIR. Odell's
county committee by these Tammany Hall
Republicans.
Governor Chairman Odell's Tammany
Hall Republican county committee has
had no treasurer since last December
when George r. Sheldon resigned. Gov
ernor- Chairman Odell Is handling all the
money for the New York county committee
He has adopted the system of Richard
Croker when leader Of Tammany Hall. In
other words Mr.. Odcll is his own treasurer
As for money matters In the Republican
is chairman, this is an authentic story:
A few days ago q Republican, who holds
ernor- Chairman ode1 Was told that he
should send to the State committee a
Of his salary for the year. He drew a
check payable to Louis Stern treasurer Of
the State committee, and sent 1t up to head
quarters In the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The following day the check was returned
to him VIII st to ass SS Hs
then drew a check payable to bearer and
sent that to the headquarters.
A day later that oheok was returned to
him, with Instructions to get 1t Dashed
and to hand the money to a certain Odell

district as the Office holder. The man
obeyed instructions, and turned over the

Japan's Desire.

New York: A cable to the Times from
Toxic says:
A leading Japanese journal, com
menting on the war situation as it af-
fects Great Britain and France, OBJ
serves that however welcome British
active assistance might be, Japan does
not desire to obtain it at the cost OF
involving France, and therefore will
never seek to derive selfish advant-
ages from the alliance. All she desires
is strict British neutrality.
The journal assures France that she
need not apprehend embroiling action
on the part of Japan, and thinks the
natural outcome of the situation will
be an alliance that will include France,
England, Italy and Japan.

the Herings, who were supposed to be
drunk and beating Mrs. Kennedy. On
account of the character of the men,
and, as they were making free use OF
pistols and guns, the neighbors were
frightened and were afraid to go near.

citizens, M. E. Day and Window A.

CREDITORS DISPUTE.
SuIIy Pledged Surplus Cotton to
Bank.


New York: The 5000 bales of cot
ton pledged to the Corn Exchange
Bank by D. j. SuIly, have caused a dis
pute among the creditors of the Sully
firm, and Monday counsel of the petit
TONERS, the receivers and Mr.. Sully
appeared before Judge Holt in the
United States district court to argue
the case as to the disposition of the
surplus. 1t was shown in the argu-
ment that the bank has sold all but
1900 bales of the 5000 bales and has
$4,000 in cash on hand.
1t was learned that after the order
was signed some days ago for the sale
of the cotton, the firm of S. w. Rey-
nolds 6, Co of Providence notified the
bank that it was the owner of the
cotton. Monday r. B. Comstock, a
lawyer of Providence, appeared to rep
resent the Reynolds firm, of which
company Sully is president, and either
Sully or his wife the majority stock
holder. The question then arose as to
who had the right to represent the
surplus. After hearing arguments
Judge Holt decided to refer the mat
ter to United States Commissioner AL
exander as referee to take evidence
Commissioner Alexander will decide
and report as to who can properly rep
resent the Sully interest. 1t is proba
BILE that Sully and his wife will be
