RCABE FOR CHAIRMAN.
Sheehan-Herrick Crozcd Surrenders
to Belmont-HW Combination.

The sheehan-Herrick have surrendered 10
the Relmont-Hil combination on the state chair
rnarship fight Patrick E. McCabe. the Albany
county boss is slated for the state chalrmanshlp'
II was learned last nigh that the Sheehan-Herrlck
man had counted noses and found that Mr.. Bel
n,ont and David T. Hill had rounded up enough
members OF the State Committee to elect McCabe'
II is expected that State Chairman Cord Meyer
will cali a meeting OF the State Committee within
the next three weeks and that on his resignation
Mr.. AicCabe will be elected.
The Sheehan-Herrick men planned to elect Fran
els Burton Harrison TO the state chairmanship.
The Belmont men objected to this. on the score
that Sheehan wanted to rule or ruin the party and
that recent Democratic political history proved
thac ne was a poor general. Maurice Nj. Minton
had charge Of the inside work for Mr.. Belmont,
and he has demonstrated that he knows something
about state Iolitics. He enlisted the support of
ex-senator Hill. who has retired from politics,
but who is free with his advice and Mr.. Minton S
up-to-date business methods won.
"Packy' McCabe is q queer kind of a chairman
for organization that probably will sound the
principles. 'Packy'' has sat in every political
poker game in Albany County for the last twenty
years. He has been the water carrier and fire
builder for David B. Hill all that time. He never
has had any consideration for the feelings of d.
Cady Herrick and probably that is one of the
reasons why Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Belmont are going
TO put him head OF the State Committee.
Now that the Sheehan-Herrick men have been
routed in the fight they would be glad TO have
compromise candidate selected II was said last
men accept William Church Osborn, of Putnam for
the chaiTmanShip.
