New York. Dec. z6--Assembiyman p. A. Merritt jr., candidate for tho speakership of the State Assembly. saId to-day that he expects to go to Albany tomorrow and will open his 1eadquar- ters there. T shall be h this fight un- not know of any compromise. They cannot compromise with me-
 Speaking of the endorsement of Pres tdent Roosevelt and Governor HiGGlna of the candidacy of '. w. Wadaworth Jr., for the speakershfp Mr. Merritt said: T am receiving letters from up the State. some Of which say that Char les the First's head was cut or for lees. The sentiment up there against tt by the Governor and the President is pro- nounced and growing. They have lost sight of odell and Higgins in the mat ! ter and. are giving their attention to the right of tho Assembly to elect it's Speaker.
 This interference Is a part of presi. dent Roosevelt's plan to secure control of the party organization in others States as we'll as New York. They want to get control of New York frat, but the President Is trying 1t also fn Connecticut and Ohio. They are trying to get the two Senators out In Connec- ticut, but think they will have fight before they get through with Frank DrAuui&GS. uOn kuUWf Wn&En@E EM0 Presidents action comes from his nat ural desire to run things, or to adve. cate his rate legislation which am inclined to favor.
 T do not think Governor Higgins would have got into this fight If he had not been pushed into It after William Barnes jr., and others went to Waah- fngton. In the beginning Higgins waa friendly with me and talked over con- fidential matters which do beiaeva ha would not have discussed # he had not expected that would be the Speakars am no more a Odell man than a Hi9- gins man. Odell could not have taken me out of the race. but Higgins could. promised to get out for him. OdeiI simply told sofBe of tba AssenDfyxners who asked him whom he favored, that he was for me But they want to mako 1t appear that everyone who is not with them is an Odell man, and if they k8ep pounding me long enough ! shall be@ come q pretty good Odell man.
 There never would have been any insurance investigation if it had not been for Odell. Governor Higgins was opposed to have 1t taken up tn ths special session of the Legislature Tor he was fear to public confidence and that policy holders would lapse which they have done. Ha foresaw fhaf. and I can see hia@ objection. For Odeit stood for the investigation and t went through.'

 Senator Dick intimated that the Mey- ritt statement was not to be taken seri- ously. Congressman Theodore E. Burton niade imiIar statement to that made by Senator Dick. and added:
 Possibly 1t would be good for the State if the President should control the party organization. but do nok believe the President desires to do so os
 Mir. Burton thought 1t natural that the President should be interested in New York politics because he is @ native of that State.
