Discussed Adversely by the Governor.
SARATOGA, Sept. 12.-Most Of the Repub-
licans here say that In their opinion there
will be no fight over the candidate for
Governor in the Republican State conven-
ton, which Is to assemble on Wednesday.
1t was their opinion that only one oandi-
date will be voted for in the convention.
Governor Chairman Odell, 1t was do
olared, Is determined to nominate Frank
Wayland Higgins for Governor; that he has
been determined to nominate Higgins all
along; that he was never for Elihu Root,
even IL Root had needed the demands OF
the Republican party Of the State, and
that the Governor-C Chairman has had no
other candidate in mind for months save
Mr.. Higgins.
This, according to those familiar with the
situation in the State, IL a most unfortunate
situation for Mr.. Higgins who Is known
to be a man OF very high reputation, and
one who is thoroughly sensible Of the fact
that the Republican voters Of the State will
not accept any candidate for Governor
with the Odell tag upon him."
Senator Platts friends said that any
body who averred that there would be but
one candidate voted for In this convention
shot exceedingly wide Of the mark and
that Timothy l.. Woodruff would develop
unexpected strength with the delegates.
The Governor Chairman's adherents, how
ever, insisted that in their opinion the
Governor-Chairman, at the last moment.
would induce Senator Platt to forego his
support Of Mr.. Woodruff rather than have
an acrimonious dispute in the convention.
Senator Platt replied to this statement
by declaring that he was for Woodruff
first, last and all the time, and that he would
30 formally announce later In the day after
he had talked over the situation With his
friends. Governor Cnairmsn's Odell's
body wardmen, consisting Of yMcfus NJ
Littauer and William L. Ward and q few
others, declared, however that the Gov
Chairman had already eelec the
following ticket:
For Governor-Frank wayIand Higgins
Of Olean, Cattaraugus county.
For Lieutenant Governor--George G.
Cromwell Of Staten Island, Preddent of
the Borough Of Richmond.
For Secretary Of stats-John =. O'Brien
Of West Chaxy, Clinton county.
For Comptroller Otto Kelsey of oenssso.
Livingston county. = - '7~-'s''If ~
For Attorney General-Julius n. Mayer Of
New York county.
For State Engineer and Surveyor Henry
A. Van Alstyne OF Chatham, Columbia
county.
No candidate for State Treasurer has
yet been selected John g. Wickser OF Buffalo
has declined a denomination. OF course.
It has been settled that Chief Judge Cullen
L. to be nominated and that Judge Werner
Is to be nominated Associate Judge Of the
Court Of Appeals in place Of Judge Mar
tin Of Binghamton.
Some said that Job e. Hedges Of New
York county or Frank II. Robinson Of
Hornellsvile Steuben county might be
nominated for Attorney General, but the
insider, intimated that Judge Mayer ives
the man. The most likely candidate for
State Treasurer Is John NJ Cordts OF King
ston, Ulster county. Mr.. Cordts Is popular
business man Of that county, and II local
conditions amount to anything In politics,
might keep down the Parker vote in that
county.
Mr. cromwell himseif mas objections to
taxing the nomination Tor Lieutenant
Governor, believing that he sfouid remain
as borough fresldent OF hchmond Tor MS
Iull term on the ground that the richmond
borough BOARD wmoh would name Els
successor is pemocratic py tol.
