FIGHT IN COMMITTEE.
Seventeen of Thirty-sir Leaders
Tote Support to Straabourger.

Seventeen of the thirty-six leaders of the Re
publican County Committee met in conference at
the Republican Club yesterday and decided to
support Samuel strasbourger for vice-presdent and
Ambrose o. Neal for secretary Of the county COM
rnttee at the annual election tomorrow night Fol-
lowing the conference Mr.. strasbourger said:
The statement printed In an afternoon paper that
I was out of the race for vice-prestdent of the
committee is absolutely false. L am in the fight
to win. My cause is in the hands OF the members
OF the county committee, and not in the keeping
of any man.
The district leaders present at the conference
were Messrs. Merwin, Hackett. Hea1y Ten Eyek
Windolph Shea, March, LevensoD Strasbourger,
IIalpin. KCenig. Newstead, Mckee, Lexow, CTruber,
Gunner and German.
There are 79S members in the committee. It Is
expected they will split about even on the vote

FIREMAN FALLS TO DEATH
Employees Missing in Chicago Fac

Chicago, Dec 1a.-one fireman was killed and
several employees may have lost their lives in fire
which destroyed the enamel sign factory of the

Until the ruins of the building have been searched

fire or by the falling of the walls and floors which
followed soon after.
When the fire was at its height of the walls
suddenly collapsed and several fremen were pre-

EXPECT HOUSECLEANTNG
IF Wadsoorth Becomes Speaker
Many Heads Nag Fall.

Among Republican leaders who commented
upon the announcement of the candidacy of
James w. Wadsworth. jr, for Speaker of the
Assembly, yesterday, the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that this portended a complete sweep
of the committee heads in the Assembly if
Wadsworth should be elected. The opinion was
freely expressed that the majority leadership
would pass from James T. Rogers, of Broome,
together with the craftsmanship of the Com
nlittee on Ways and Means. Sherman More
land, Of Chemung, and Robert Lynn Cox of
Erie, were named as possible successors to Mr..
Rogers. Moreover, 1t was learned that when
Mr.. Rogers withdrew from the Speakership race
he received no assurance and asked no pledge
that he be continued in his present position.
More important from the point of view of
New York City is the practical certainty that
Ezra F. Prentice Of Manhattan. will be made
chairman of the Cities Committee, succeeding
Jean L. Burnett. of Ontario It has long been
regarded as unfair that a member from Canaan
daigua should preside over the eomInittee
which is mostly concerned with the business of
New-York and the larger cities. Mr.. Prentice
comes from Herbert Parsons's district and will
be strongly urged by Mr.. Parsons. who has
made the fight in this county. This will make
Mr.. Prentice the representative OF the RepubIi-
can organization Of 'New-York at Albany.
Equally interesting to this city is the practi-
cal certainty that Louis Bedeu, of Orange, will
not be reappointed chairman of the Railroad
Committee, Whether a general change is made
or not, the opinion IS widespread that Mr.,
Bedell win be replaced. Robert Lynn Cox, of
Erie, or Sherman Moreland. of Chemung, wiz
probably get this plaee--that is. one will be
named as floor leader and the other appointed
to this important committee.
James x Apgar. Of Westchester. chairman of
the Water Supply, Gas and Electricity Corn
mittee. is also regarded as likely to be re-
placed, possibly by J. Mayhew Wainwright of
the same county who is now chairman Of edn-
cation Arthur c. Wade. chairman of taxation
and retrenchment, Is another of the chairrnen

OF Genesee. VIII not ifnprobably succeed him
Another change, believed to be inevitable af
fects Thomas Lewis, of Oswego, present chair
man of Insurance AS a result of the present
investigation it is believed he will share the
general retirement of chairmen of important
committees. tt is possible that W w WeYnnla
Of Schenectady. member of the Armstrong
committee, viii be his successor, and as such
he will be in position to assist materially in
the carrying out Of the programme recon-
mended by the committee. Edward A. Merritt
CT st Lawrence, the one remaining opponent Of
Mr. Wadsworth, may also fail to be reassigned
TO the drst place on the Committee OF General
Laws. Charles w. Mead. of Albany is not un-
likely to succeed him. Other changes are not
