before 8 o'clock tonight. and went to the
Hotel Ten Eyck Assemblyman James

mer Governor Odell arrived here at about
the same time IA Senator Depew but he
came on the West Shore road from New

and Railroad Commissioner Joseph Nj.
Dickey were with Chairman Odell. After
Senator Depew had greeted Mr.. odell rs
the latter entered the Hotel Ten Eyok. Mr..
Depew and his son and Mr.. Apgar dIned
alone. IL was noticeable that the usual
hustle about Gov Udell was lacking
The lobbies OF the Hotel Ten Eyck
were fairly crowded with prominent
politicians from all parts OF the State,
many Of whom were here TO attend Gov
Higgins's inauguration ceremonies to-
morrow and others to be ON hand when
the Legislature convenes on Wednesday.
In the throng were Francis Hendricks,
Cuthbert W Pound who is Gov Higgins =

Committeeman " Baker, Senators Raines,
" J.. Brown. Wilcox, Carpenter, Gates,
SAKE, Dreschler and Gardiner Assembly
men Wadsworth, Thompson, Hastings and
Parker and Col John T. Mott of Oswego.
One did not have TO wait who desired TO
get Chairman Odell's ear tonight which
was in marked contrast 10 previous similar
occasions. The absence Of prominent Tape
wormers' was not commented upon, though
undoubtedly il was responsible for the easy
approach which could be had to former
Gov. Odell as he moved about the hotel
Hobbies, talking with one and another Of
the prominent Republicans present
Gov Higgins spent part of his first day
as Governor by attending morning service
at All Saints Episcopal Cathedral with
Mrs Higgins and the members of the
Executive Mansion house purity, who are
by Gov and Mrs. Higgins.
Senator Depew was besieged on all sides
with congratulations upon his coming
reelection. Between Gov. Higgins's pub
lie reception and the reception Of the Gov
ernor and Mrs. Higgins at the Executive
Mansion tomorrow afternoon Senator
Depew will hold n reception in the Ten
Eyck ballroom TO meet tho members OF the
Legislature aud State officers. Tomorrow
night MIR. and Mrs. William Barnes. Jr.,
will entertain Senator Depew at dinner at
their home here. Mr. Depew expects TO

will not remain over TO attend the dinner
to be given tho members OF the Stats Senate
on Wednesday night by Senator Stevens
OF Attica, Wyoming county. Timothy l..
Woodruff IS TO give u dinner here Tuesday
night in honor OF Senator Depew.
Gov Higgins did not see Senator Depew
nor Mr. Odeli tonight nor did he come
near the Hotel Ten Eyck Mr. 0del will
leave Albany after the Inauguration.
Altogether there was a happy feeling
manifested by all sorts and conditions OF
Republicans from all sections over the solu-
don Of the United States Senatorship ques-
ton and Mr.. Depew was the recipient Of
many warm congratulations.
Both branches OF the Legislature will or
gani2e just before noon on Wednesday
upon practically the same lines as the or
ganization of the last Legislature. There
10 no strife OF moment and everything
promise, 10 DO harmonious.
