Owing to Bitter Feeling
Toward Gov. Higgins
Senator Remains I'm
til That Time.
HUGHES GETS CHANCE
TO NAME SUCCESSOR
Already There Is a Scramble
For the Place and AS
pirants Are Pulling
Wires.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE an
Eouncement this morning that SEN
ator Thomas {. Platt, owing to his
growing physical infirmities, recent
Iaarital troubles, and other causes,
would resign bis seat in the United
States Senate on January 4, was
confirmed by the Senator today in
telegram sent 10 7. II. Butler,
proprietor of the Buffalo Evening
News, the organ Of the party in the
western end of the State. In his
telegram, which was printed in the
News, Senator Platt said:
Question Of resignation l will
discuss hereafter. ] am not consid-
ering it seriously now"

account of his unrelenting antipathy

would take no steps looking to his
resignation until Higgins retires
from office. That II what his tele-
gram means. Some Of his best
friends have urged himst resign at
once and with ,aw frjm the tur-
moil. but the aged Senator has stub
bornly refused. He agreed TO quit
on January /, when the Legislature
could move to elect his successor,
but he absolutely refused TO take a
step that would admi; of Governor
Higgins appointing his successor
One Of Hughes First Acts.
one of the first official papers that
viii come into the hands of Governor
Hughes after he is sworn in viii be the
resignation Of the senior Senator from
the State of New York. Should Plat
send ia his resignation now Higgins
could appoint a recess Senator to serve
until the Legislature could elect. Il IS
a foregone conclusion that he would
name one Of his satellites.
\ man so appointed would have an
inestimable advantage over any other
candidate for the place inasmuch as
ne would be in possession and have the
prestige Of appointment. If there should
be a deadlock or prolonged fght il is
not incoucelvahIe that a man SO ap-
pointed might serve for quite some lit
tie time
II there was almost any other man I'm
the chair in Albany aside from Higgins
the resignation of Senator Plat would
have gone in already. but all the pres
sure and clamor that possibly could he
raised will not disiOdge his stubborn
determination 10 hold on until Higgins
is out OF oniCe, and can IN no way be a
beneficiary Of the resignation.
Butler a Possible Candidate.
BY the same token there is something
significant in the telegram 10 Z. Il.
Butler. Evidently the telegram is in re-
sponse TO one of inquiry. Butler is the
editor OF the strongest Republican news
paper in the western end of the state.
He is a rich man and popular. He has

Both Sides Pleased.

AS d rule tie games are unsatisfactory
But Virginia came To Washington with
a reputation for speed, FOR hesdy work
under the new rules, and she had the
prestige which d victory over George
town gave. George Washington had
proved during the season that she vpas
spable of playing good football but
the prediction was freely made that Vir-
ginia would repeat her work OF last
week and take the Bug and Blue into
camp. Consequently, the good showing
which George Washington made and the
tie score are particularly pleasing. Vir-
ginia, on the other hand, had gone of
and those posted in Virginia football
knew of this let down. and for that I'd

the Orange and Blue
What the result OF the game would
have been had the ground been dry is
a matter of doubt That Virginia 5
backs would have gotten under way
more quickly, that the tackling would
have been surer on both sides. is true
beyond doubt. Virginia was particu-
larly weak in tackling, and time and
again the George Washington runners
avoided or shook off Virginians who
should have had them easily. The wet
turf made it impossible for the backs
10 get under way quickly But George
Washington's attack, which relied more
upon line plunses. plays outside II
tackle, and skirting the ends. was not
hindered to the same extent as was that
of Virginia, which sent plays far around
the ends.
Kicking Played a Large Part.
Neither team was able to gain con
sistently and the kicking played a large
part. making the game all the more in

most part the punts were well handled.
On two occasions Randolph got into
his stride and carried the ball far back
