NEW YORK, Feb. z7.-Menfhers of

bled at the Fifth avenue hotel today to
discuss the question of date and place
for holding the state convention. Ow-
ing 10 the difference of opinion among
the party leaders the matter may not
be settled definitely for another week
The settlement of the date for holding
the convention is regarded as the first
test as to whether Senator Platt or
Governor Odell is in actual control OF
the party machinery. Governor Odeli
favors an early date. Senator Platt
prefers a late one. for the alleged rea-
son that he desires all the important
legislative business to be out Of the
way before the convention meets. The
selection Of a late date, therefore. will
be accepted as evidence by the rank
and file that Senator Platt has moi =
linquished the party reins. An early
date will be regarded as indicative of
