Mr l.1uterbach, the sponsor for Mr..
lyins seemed TO he infected by the gayety
which had seized Halpin.
't'4 the best piece Of work ever did In
my Hfr," he exclaimed as he made for the
telephone For the next ten minutes
through the glass door Of the telephone
booth he was seen doing pantomime OF
juhlstop.
/. was learned after the Odell committee
broke up that Mr.. Lauterbach had learned
on Wednesday evening that Bouquet Billy
lialpin had secured from Frank Moss
promise to accept the nomination. Be-
tween Mr.. Lauterbach and Mr.. Moss there
have been feelings of only partial friend
ship, and Mr. Lauterbach DIDN'T le. the grass
grow under his pins in hustling about to
get candidate to beat Bouquet Binys
man.
Mr. Lauterbach is just as much Of a
friend of Mr.. Odell as Bouquet Billy. and Mr..
I.auterbach has quite as much to say in the
affairs of Mr.. Odell's county committee as
Bouquet Billy. as was demonstrated when
The committee broke up at the Republican
Club and Mr.. WINS had beaten Mr.. Moss
for the doubtful honor of becoming Mr..
0dell's candidate for Mayor. Further
more, it was ascertained that Mr.. Lauter-
bach late on Wednesday night had as
surances that Mr.. Ivins would accept the
nomination il he could get it. So. when
the committee met at the Republican Club
Yesterday, bouquet BILLY put up his usual
tiddly-wink fight for Moss, but Mr.. Lauter-
bach swayed the committee in favor Of Mr..
lvins.
An effort was made at the meeting to fix
on man for Comptroller, the nomination
for which Richard Young refused to accept.
1t was decided that the office should go to
Brooklyn man, but the Brooklyn members
Of the committee could not for the moment
agree among themselves, and the meeting
was adjourned on the understanding that
William Berri, Jacob Brsnner and Col.
Mike Dady should pick out a candidate
who would be acceptable to all three and
that the committee should then meet again
to-day to put him on the ticket
Despite the assurance given by Mr..
IAuterb- n that Mr.. WINS would accept,
Halpn would take no chances. just as
the meeting was breaking up he insisted
that Mr.. WINS should be notified at once
and that there should be no delay in getting
his formal acceptance. Mr.. Halpin wanted
to go at once to the office of Mr. WINS, at
81 William street, but after the telephone
had been brought into use again Mr.. Iv ins
Iintimated to the committee that the earliest
time he could see them would be at $40
o'clock Mr.. Halpin cfnched the engage
ment
When the committee got to Mr.. Ivins's
Office he had not finished the preparation Of
bis aarh - md if xuaa vaarlyal
then that he should just say few words
expressing his willingness to take the nomi-
nation and forward to the committee in
the form Of letter the longer speech he
wanted to make.
Most OF the members Of the committee
went to 27 William street with Mr.. Halpin
who, as chairman of the committee formally
told Mr. WINS that he had been chosen to
run for Mayor on the Republican ticket.
Mr., Halpin said that the desire Of the Repub-
hcans in picking Mr. WINS was to offer to
the PEOPLE candidate for Mayor "of hon
orable and distinctive achievement, one
Of unb!emished repute and with a proven
caracity and ability to meet properly the
responsibilities OF the Office of Mayor Of this
city Then Mr.. Halpin went on to explain
that the Republican platform called for the
administration of the oity's affairs without
regard to partisan interests and for the
enactment Of laws which would safeguard
future subway franchises. Mr.. WINS said
In reionder:
