COLOMBIA FEARS TROUBLE.
The Question Of VINO Was Elected President
May Cause an Outbreak.

WASHINGTON, May 2,-Rumors have
reached here that unhappy Colombia is
again on the verge OF political trouble.
The question of who WAS elected President
at the last general election has never been
settled. At first it was declared that Gen.
Reyes, Vice President and commander-in-
chief of the army. who was then in WASH
ngton trying to get the United States to
make Panama rejoin the Colombian fedora
ton. had secured majority of the presi-
dental electors.
Gen. Reyes was popular them but when
his mission failed and he went TO Paris
instead of going back to Colombia, there
was change Of sentiment. and Sehor Velez
WAS regarded as the winner. Word comes
now that Reyes is on his way back to Co.
lombia, and there is All uneasy feeling
down there. Nobody knows what will
happen when Reyes arrives, but an out
break is feared.

GOVERNOR. .CHAIRMAN'S NINE.
SLATE FOR 4 SNALL AND HANDY
EXECITIJE Committee.
As for Treasurer OF the County Committee,
II H suggested That lie Take That
Place IIinlse,f--E,s on = Man With
Three Millions to Hun jor Governor.

Governor Chairman Odell is to appoint
his executive committee Of the Republican
State committee within few days, and
this was the slate rs made up last night by
one Of the Governor or-chalrman's adherents:
william Barnes. Jr., George W. Dunn,
Francis Hendricks, Charles II. Murray,
Michael j. Dady, William G. Warren, George
W. Aldridge, Louis +. Payn and Cy Durey,
For years the executive committee was
made up Of nineteen members, but the
Governor-chairman has decided that nine
will do. Mr.. Barnes, according to the
latest bulletin, is to retain his old place as
chairman. While the names OF Mr.. Payn
and Mr.. Durey are now on the Governor
chairman's slate. Mr. Payn may be displaced
for John r. Mott, or Cy Durey may give
place to Mr.. Mott and Mr.. Payn remain.
Naturally in the selection OF the nine
members OF the new executive COMMITTEES
the Governor chairman retains his grasp OF
this committee as well as OF the State COM
mittee. Murray, Dady, Warren, Aldridge,
Payn and Durey are out-and-out Odell
men, Durey being the representative OF
Littauer.
Governor-C hartman Odell on his next
visit to New York is TO select a treasurer for
the New York Republican county COM
mittee. Although the Governor-chairman
-reorganized and reformed" the committee
in December, he has not yet been able to
corral a treasurer. He has offered the
place to dozen prosperous Republicans
and they have declined, some OF 'em with
out returning thanks for the profered
distinction.
The latest sugges lon Is that the Gov-
ernor- chairman should take the place
himself but after his experiences i'll the
United States Shpbulding bond scheme
he is not fond OF Jobs where 1T is all putin
and no take-out." Those who suggested
his se,f-appointment recalled that first the
Governor chairman was to be renominated
for Governor next fall and debated with
himself whether he really ought to take
the nomination. When he ascertained that
the Democrats stood ready. for purposes
OF their own, to chip into his campaign
fund il Odell would only run, he became
suspicious and turned his eyes toward the
lucrative place lin flush yearsl Of chairman
Of the Republican national committee.
He declined that, though, when he learned
that President Roosevelt and the Presi-
dents friends wouldn't give him the post
for any consideration known even to
political expediencv, and there was nothing
left in sight save for the Governor to be-
come the chairman OF the State committee.
Now he is telling the Odell bunch Of
grafters that Lieut. Gov Frank Wayland
Higgins Of O,ean might make a good candi-
date for Governor next fall The Governor
chairmans first choice is Mayor Erastus
e. Knight Of Buffalo. Knight would be
friendly 20 the Governor-chairman but
he's poor, while MIR. Higgins ho' tern't-
ing fortune ct 39.OO0,Oo0.
