Society Of Civil Engineers, already predicted
by The Tribune decided last night 10 refuse 10
participate in Andrew CarneEie's offer Of
81. 100000 union engineering building Opinion
IS divided as to whether the decision will deal
the death blow to the project. II is agreed that
the outcome is largely in Mr. Carnegie's hands
A special meeting Of the conference committee
Of the Interested societies Is also called for this
afternoon 10 pass on the matter.
\ large part OF the opposition came rom resi-
dent members. When the ballots were counted
last night II was found that sol virtually rep

been cast and that the proposal had been de-
feated by a vote OF .139 70 Co.. being ma
ioritv Of AZ. The announcement of the result
Of the ballot. which chalked I'D on the
blackboard shortly before t1-So O'Clock. was the
signal for loud cheering from the assembled
members. Among the members who voted
against the proposition was william Barclay
Parsons
Many members expressed the reason for their
opposition I'm the simple query, why should we
exchange a home for an apartment
A Tribune reporter remarked TO Mr.. Parsons
afterward:
Was not this tho sense Of the opposition
Exactly" Mr.. Parsons said Il voted against
the proposition because the Civil Engineers have
a lovely home. 7 consider they are much better

That is the way I understand the situation. It

Although Il may be the case. do not believe

apprehension of tho facts a report was printed
to the effect that the President had teleFraphed
20 Governor Odel asking him 70 come 20 Wash
ington for a consultation. As a matter of fact,
the President is very glad indeed TO have an
opportunity 10 confer with the Governor on
Saturday. but he did not send for him. when
the Governor made his last visit 10 the capital
in December the President told him when he
said "Goodby" that he would be greatly pleased
to have him come over again ir the near future
70 talk over State political matters. and so
when he learned yesterday from Senator Plstt.
as was said I'm The Tribune this morning. that
tho Governor would be in Washington on Satur-
day. he cordially invited him to the White
House
The rumor that the President may ask Gov
ernor OdeH 10 assume the Craftsmanship Of the
Republican National Committee may also ha
oenleQ VIII aulnoriE. The President does not
intend IN the immediate future 10 ask any man
20 take the place mentioned II may be that he
viii not finally decide on the man he desires 1t
the helm Of his campaign ship until about the
time the convention meets At Chicago When
the time is ripe he viii undoubtedly have his
chairman picked out, and VIII convey 20 him
the invitation 10 accept the place. But who
that is 10 be the President is still far from
decided. There are perhaps half score Of
competent, skilful workers Of high degree in the
Republican party. any one OF whom would make
a chairman acceptable alike to the President
and 10 the organization at large. Governor
Odel might be numbered IN the list, perhaps,
but the chances are altogether against his Sc
lection
Neither does the President at this time intend
% convey 20 the Governor his preferences for
the head Of the State Republican organization.
The chalrmanship question I'm New-Hork. Ike
all other matters pertaining to the State or
Eanization itself must be settled by the wheel
horses OF the party in the State. The President
wishes the fact made known as emphaticaIiy
as words can convey Il that he viii not under
any circumstances take a hand I'm the differences
between the factions. lie Is anxious for har-
rrony and concerted action. and believes those
ends can best be reached without interference
