30 hosts FOR THE EDTTORS.
fialpin Assesses Them $50 Apiece for
petntoday's Feast.


The Republican editors OF rhe State, or.
TO be precise, those who are members OF
the Republican Editorial Association OF the
State are TO be entertained at dinner at the
Waldorf Astoria on Wednesday night and
Yesterday afternoon at the Republican
Club there was a discussion not by any
means Of an acrimonious character but on
the contrary inquisitorial in its nature, as
TO who is to be the host on the momentous
occasion President Roosevelt is to be
present some time in the evening, and
therefore Republicans of substantially de-
sired to know who is TO be the host.
-Halpin. meaning William Halpin, presi-
dent Of the New York Republican county
committee by grace Of Chairman Odell OF
the State committee, says he is to be the
host and he has let this impression go
out TO the editors and to President Roose-
velt.- said a member Of the Republican
executive committee.
That's all right chimed in a fellow
executive committeeman, "Halpin gives
this notion to the editors and then he gives
II by proxy to the President, but he had
IN do il that way with the President, / mean

the fact is Halpin has just sent to the NIFTY
nine executive committeeman in the or
eanizations in all tho boroughs notices that
they are expected TO contribute $50 each
for the editors feed. That makes all told
81 $50. but not rs per cent. of the executive
committeeman. can fork over the fifty.
There we're several more OF the executive
committee at the club and they confirmed
the statement that Mr.. Halpin had at
tempted to assess them $50 each for We'd
nesday nights banquet. The general
opinion was that the majority, or at least
those who could, would pay the assess
nent hut they desired THE Sun TO make
the announcement this morning that they
only did 40 out OF respect to the President
and 10 the Republican editors. and even
then they only would do so after IHE Sun
had made the further announcement for
them this morning that the ffty-nine
executive committeeman, and not Mi
Halpin, will be the hosts Of the President
and the editors on Wednesday night. They
wanted this clearly understood. they said
not they added. because they desired
an acknowledgement of the hospitality
but because Mr.. Halpin had endeavored To

such a serious condition in the old home
stead on the hin that he may not recover.
The noted turfman and coal king has been

Grip and pneumonia are the ailments from
which Capt. Brown is suffering None save
his brother Harry and the physician are
permitted to enter the sick room and all
talk OF business or horses is tabooed. Capt
Brown. noted for his girth. has lost 100
pounds in weight in the last four weeks
He has had twelve suits Of clothes made,
one after the other each suit smaller than
the one preceding. 1t had been hoped that
he would get strong enough TO take trip

 Several teaming companies today agreed to make deliveries tomorrow to Montgomery Ward and Company. If the attempt Is made by these firms to keep their promise, 1t was said to- night by the officials of the tearasterS union that all the union drivers in the employ of these companies will be or dered to quit work.
 Acts of violence against policemen detailed on the strike have become so rreuuent that in the future persons ar rested for interfering with the deliv- cry of goods from the store will be taken before the grand jury instead of being prosecuted in police courts.
