ODELL HITS HIGGINS
Declares the Governor is Weak
and Should Not Be Re-
nominated.
CONVENTION ON SEPT. rs.

Same Date as That of the Democrats
Gathering Likely to Be Chosen by
New York Republicans = Congress
man Sherman Says Higgins Has "a
Lead Pipe cinch."
New York, Aug. 15.-The Tribune
says:
"Ex-G Governor Odell at the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel, after comforting with vart
Gus members of the state committee,
friends of Governor Higgins among
the rest, came out squarely against
the denomination of Governor Higgins.
He said that he regarded Governor
Higgins as weak candidate; that he
would, If nominated, be the candidate
of a faction. He would not predict
that Governor Higgins would be de
feated if he ran again.
"There was nothing acrimonious
about Mr. Odell's manner or words in
discussing Governor Higgins possible
denomination. He took pains to say
that he had no personal feeling against
the governor, but was giving express
sion to his best Judgment of the po
litical situation from the Republican
point of view.
Only One Exception.
cit is the custom of the Republican
party to refuse q denomination to its
governors, said the ex-governor. There
has been only one exception, and that
was in my own case. My experience
as a candidate four years ago proves
the correctness of the rule which de-
nies a denomination to governor. |
don't think Governor Higgins would
poll the full party vote. When man
has served term as governor compli-
cations follow which weaken him as a
vote getter. There is nothing personal
in my opposition to the governor. l
am simply giving expression to my con
viction after careful consideration of
the circumstances
Among other things Mr.. Odell said
that he would remain chairman of the
state committee until the convention
and that no effort would be made to re
move him. He said also that it had
been decided by both factions of the
party that the state convention should
be held in Saratoga on Sept. %. which
is the same date as the Democratic
convention in Buffalo.
Representative Sherman, chairman
of the congressional campaign commit
tee, said:
Governor Higgins is going to be re-
nominated by acelamation, and no 9th
er name win be mentioned. It's all
fixed up, and Higgins has a lead pipe
cinch. l don't know whether Higgins
is candidate or not, but he will be re-
nominated just the same.'

Fl. .Y|NG FROM MEXICO
Americans Predict an Uprising
Against Foreigners viii
Occur Sept. l6.
THOSE WHO STAY ARMlNG.
They Do Not Believe Movement Will
Succeed, but Predict the Death of
Many "outIanders'-Laborins Glasses
Alleged to BE at the Bottom Of the
Trouble.


San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 15.-Not-
withstanding the efforts of the Mexi-
can government and our own state de-
partment to allay the fears of Ameri-
can residents in Mexico regarding the
reports that an uprising against for
eigners is to take place on or about
Sept 16, many Americans are sending
their families out of the republic.
Within the last week a number of
them have come to San Antonio With
one accord they say that, while they do
not expect the uprising to be success
full and that the Diaz government will
suppress it quickly, they are confident
that there will be trouble and that fa-
talities are probable. In many cases
men who have positions in Mexico
have remained at work, but have sent
their families here.
Convinced That There Will Be Trouble.
A man who lives at San Luis Potosi
brought his family to this city and will
return. For obvious reasons his name
cannot be made public. He would lose
his position and would not be safe in
Mexico if he should be quoted. But he
is familiar with conditions and has told
his friends that he is convinced that
there will be trouble. He says the la
boring classes are aroused and are de-
termined to make an attempt on or
about Sept. 16 to drive foreigners out
of the republic. He does not expect
the uprising to succeed, but he fears
that number of foreigners will be
killed.
Nobody who keeps his eyes and ears
open in Mexico can fail to see what is
coming, 2 he said Il would not take
the chance and expose my family to
the danger"
The correspondent has seen a letter
from well Informed man who lives
in mining town in the state of Dn-
range, in which he says that so certain
are the Americans that there will be
trouble that they have armed them
selves. Supplies of arms and ammuni-
tion have been shipped to the Ameri-
cans from the United States, says this
man, and at the first sign of trouble
the Americans will stand together and
fight for their lives.
