NEW YORK, Aug. Ex-senator Plat

ter from Elihu Root declining to be the
Republican nominee for Governor.
II received Mr.. Roots letter two
days ago." said Senator Plat. "As far
as I am concerned, it settles the ques-
ton. l don't believe that his being
the nominee of the party is in the
range of possibility now. He writes
me that he will not accept it he is
nominated, and nothing could be ore
positive or final. l am in favor of an
open convention. Governor Odell says
that he is. OF course we all ave our
preferences, but I do not believe the
candidate will be selected until the
convention assemblies in Saratoga"

National ticket in the State, Senator
Platt said:
