chairmen from al over the State had an all day
conference yesterday with State Chairman Meyer.

committee; Senator Victor J. Dowling and William
5. Rode, chairman OF the peculiar appendage TO
the State committee known the bureau OF or
ganizaron.
The visitors told the state committee officials in
uncertain tones that the tide all toward
Roosevelt. and that the only chance of carrying
the State for Herrick against II gglns TO spend
lots Of money.
State Chairman Meyer is greatly embarrassed by
the importunate demands Of the countrymen- 1t
was in vain that he told them that the State COM
mttee had little money TO work with They
insisted that they would have TO have the money
and have it right away. or they would not hold
themselves responsible for results Election Day
Charles F. Murphy was one Of the callers on the
State committee officials in the afternoon. When
his name was announced Senator McCarren ex-
cused himself. and not present when Mr.. Mur-
ply told Chairman Meyer that Tammany would
roll up the usual vote in New-York County.
The conference yesterday was called by State
Chairman Meyer two weeks ago. Every county in
the State was repr' senled yesterday There were
hard words between the State committee officials
and some of the visitors over the fact that While
some Of the upstate counties had received liberal
allowances for preliminary campaign work, other
counties had been Disseminated against. The OBJ
tectors were assured that as soon the State
committee could get the money they would send
some around the State
The fact that there little money in
sight Yesterday caused trouble. The stories OF ex-
travagance and fat salaries paid at the national
committee headquarters have made the upstate
brethren hungry for some Of the good things
