The question in this case was
whether proceedings had been begun
first by the civil or the military au-

Former Gov. 0de|| Speaks
Of the Contest
Between Merritt and WadsWorth
for the Speakership ?.
Says the Hand Of Roosevelt Is Back Of All
---Expresses Himself Vigorously.

New York, Dec. 2S-Former B. B.
Odell, Jr, chairman of the state Repub-
lican committee, made statement to-
day concerning the contest for the
spcakership of the Assembly in which
he is backing f. A. Merritt, Jr., against
J. w. Wadsworth, who has the support
of Gov. Higgins. Mr.. Odell said:
"Thc gentleman up at Albany who is
doing much yelling just now has had
some starch injected into his backbone
by Roosevelt. He never had any be-
fore. When you hear him talk these
days, the voice is the voice of Jacob
Higgins, but the hand is the hand of
Esau Roosevelt. Few persons are de-
ceived by the talk about Roosevelt not
interfering in politics in this way in
any other states. The fools may be
taken, but You can't catch the old birds
by throwing salt on their tails. 1t is
entirely clear that Roosevelt is back of
Higgins in this Speakership contest, and
so-callcd inspired denials 90 not count.
This is going to be a night to a fin
ish. 7 tried in every way to avoid fac
tional trouble, but it has been forced

''Is this report true that you will have
something to say about the collection
OF campaign funds by Mr.. Cortelyou
last year," Mr.. Odell was asked.
"Before this fight is over I may have
a good deal to say about this and other
matters of interest including the
Depew-Black race for the United States
Senate. 1t is altogether probable that I
will contribute something to political
literature in the near future-some
