1t is considered certain that Walter s.
Dfckey will be made chairman OF the En-
ecutive Committee 1t is thought that
possibly Otto Stifel may be treasurer. as
he has always been liberal contributor
to the cause The committee adjourned
shortly after 4 O'Clock.
Mr.. N;edringhaus departed last night for
New York. where he will attend meet
ing OF the Board Of Directors OF the Ma
tional Enameling and Stamping Company.
He said that he would not stop in Wash
ington to pay his respects to President
Roosevelt.
II have no business there" he said. 81
am State Chairman. and 1t is my intention
to work here and not have anything to do
with the post offices. The President is
busy. and so am ]. There is no reason
why / should see him"
Friends OF State Chairman Akns said
that IT would do no good for Mr. Niedring-
haus to see the President about patronage
especially since Mr. Niedringhaus has been
SO active in his efforts to nominate n cam
date against Folk. instead of leaving that
place vacant.
Mr.. Niedringhaus said that he did not
expect to appoint a secretary or the Ex-
ecutive Committee until after his return
from New York. He expects to be back
the latter part Of this week. Most of the
committeeman went out to the Worlds
Fair after adjournment.
PLACATIVE MEASURE.
John II. Boutwell, of Sedalia, defeated
candidate for Governor. was made vice
chairman Of the committee. This provides
for the defeated candidates for Governor.
with the exception Of Leo Rassieur of
South 81. Louis Tho waIbridge pro-
gramme seems to be to ignore this part of
the State.
Mr.. Niedrinehaus asked that he be Civ
en- the right to name the secretary. az he
he wished to have someone In whom he
was in close personal touch. According to
the Atkins faction. Nr. Niedringhaus would
like to have Doctor f. b. Clements Sec
retary. With equal pertinacity the Wal
bridge faction declares that he would like
to have Eugene C. BrolSmeyer 1t, this posi-
tion. Doctor Clements was a candidate for
State Chairman. and 1t Is said the Med
rinshaus policy is to give all OF the minor
positions possible to the Atkins faction.
Mr. Brokmeyer Is the editor OF the State
Republican. and has been doing Wal
bridge work for the past two months.
1t was also moved that the chairman
should have the right to name the Exec
utive Committee. and that this commit
tee should name the treasurer. Mr.. Med
ringhaus resigned in favor of Mr. Dickey
at the morning session. Mr.. Niedringhau,
announced that. IL the committee would
adjourn until p. M. he would then an
nounce the names OF the Executive Com
mittee. after a consultation with the NOM
inees and his friends.
At o'clock Mr.. Eiedringhaus was a
great deal further from being able to an
nounce this committee than he was at
the morning session. The opponents Of
the Atkins faction had declared that they
wanted this committee to show his un-
