WOODRUFF TAKES COMMAND.
Returns to Brooklyn unrunied by His
ThrOw-DOwn at Saratoga.

Timothy L. Woodruff yesterday after
noon paid his first visit to Republican
headquarters in Brooklyn since the Saratoga
convention. Apparently he was entirely
unruf1ed over the high handed and trap
door methods employed by Governor
Chairman Odell in crushing his political
aspirations. He announced his acceptance
Of the craftsmanship of the finance COM
mittee, the most important post in the cam
pagn. to which he was chosen by the
executive committeeman on Wednesday,
and his determine ton to put up the very
best fight possible for the State az well as
for the national ticket.
Mr.. Woodruff had not been seated at his
desk more than a few minutes when the
Assembly district leaders began to troop
in and deluge him with complaints about
Odel's interference in the selection of
some of the Congressional and Senatorial
candidates. While expressing his entire
approval Of the Congress and Senate tickets
nominated, Mr.. Woodruff urged the district
leaders to suppress the fractional feeling
and take of their coats and work for Hig-
gins with the same energy as they would
have done if Woodruff were the candidate.
From now on until the close OF the polls
on election night Mr.. Woodruff will remain

GET RID OF ODELLISM.
Higgins Advised to Have Another Man as
Chairman OF State Committee.

ALBANY, Sept 23.-Leut.- Gov. Higgins
was in Albany to-day. He had many
talks with personal and political friends.
Prominent Republicans about the capital
are much perturbed at the Republican
situation in the State. They insist that
MIR. Higgins, as the Republican candidate
for Governor can control twenty-four OF
the thrty-seven Republican State COM
mtteemen in view Of his position as the
standard bearer of the party, and that he
should take steps TO get from under the
blight Of Odellism by causing the State
committee to convene and supplant Gov.
Odell as the chairman OF the committee.
They urge that candidate for Cover
nor is entitled to have q chairman of the
State committee Of his own selection, on
the same principle that permits presi-
dental nominee to control the selection OF
the chairman of the national committee
OF tho party. These Republican officials
believe that Mr.. Higgins should have his
campaign manager, y. V. V. Franchot OF
clean, elected as chairman Of the Repub-
lican State committee to conduct his cam
paign this fall.

Abrams Asks the Court to Inspect Ballots
Cast at the Primaries.

Lewis A. Abrams, recently defeated
at the primaries in his contest with Isaac
A, Hopper for the Tanmany leadership
OF the Thirtyfrst Assembly district, APP
piled to Justice Mclean in the Supreme
Court Yesterday for an order directing
the board of elections to show cause why
a writ of mandamus should not issue
commanding the board TO produce for
inspection all the ballots cast for Hopper
in the First Election district of the Thirty
first.
Abrams charges that all the ballots cast
for Hopper in the recent primary are il
legal and void in that they did not comply
with the requirements of the law. In
stead of being azure blue they were light
blue and the weight Of the paper fell short.
The order il is expected, will be issued
to-day.
Abrams had papers served yesterday
on four election inspectors of the First
election district, recurring them to appear
before Justice Bischoff in Part l. Of the
Supreme Colut on Sept. 81, to show cause
why the primary election in that election
district should not be declared illegal ard
a new election ordered II is his purpose to
carry the fight into every election district
if he succeeds in the First.

The Tammany Congress conventions
will be held on Oct 8; the Republican Con-
gress conventions on Oct L. There Will
lie few changes on either side, but in one
or two districts there will be warm fights.
In the Eighth Congress district Timothy
d. Sullivan will run again, despite the re-
ports that he does not want TO go back to
Washington. The Republicans have not
yet selected the candidate they will put
up against Big Tim, but he will have to be

year on the support of the hundreds OF push.

who are dissatisfied with the Tammaly
administration for driving them on Ihe
streets and confirming them in markets.
With the aid Of these votes MIR. Adler thinks
he has a good chance of carrying the dis
trict.
This district and the Fifteenth are the
only two which conservative minded he
publicans expect to be able to carry IN
November. w. H. Douglas, the Republi-
can member from the Fifteenth, will not be
renominated. He was badly beaten at

pense OF Jersey City Grocers.
Storekeepers In the Horseshoe section Of
Jersey City have been stirred up for several
days over the thefts of bread, rolls and
milk from in front OF their places Of bus-
ness in the early morning hours. They
told the police that the robbers were in
the habit OF mussing up what they couldn't
carry away.
Capt joni F. Kelly put some Of his best
men on the job They sailed out in the
early dawn, but saw no raids made on
bread boxes or milk cans. The grocers
continued to complain and the police were
ordered to get move on.
Policeman James McGovern, whose post
is located In the belt where most Of the
raids had occurred, saw a gray mare and
a mule wander slowly along Seventeenth
street early yesterday morning. The mare
whinnied, shook her tail and look ed around
knowingly at the mule. Then she started
off on a trot and her companion fell in be-
hind. McGovern got a firm grip on his
club and started in pursuit.
The mare led the way to grocery store
in Grove street and stopped. She shifted
around the grocer's bread box for mo-
ment and then lifted up the cover with
her nose She seized loaf Of bread and
held the cover up Whlle her companion
showed its nose in and brought out half
dozen rolls.
The pair contentedly chewed away for
a while and then started Off at a gallop.
The mare stopped in front Of store half
a block away and did her level best to lift
the cover off forty quart milk can with
her teeth. She lost her grip, got excited
and pushed the can over. The milk gushed
out on the sidewalk and the can rolled into
the gutter.
The cop thought that the animals had
had enough fun for one morning and placed
them under arrest. He led them to the
Seventh street station and reported that he
had at last caught the thieves who had
been raising 80 much bazes.
The owner of the animals-a man OF the
name of Hognn--was notified and he locke ed
