statement After Conference WIFI
state Chairman -wOOdruH Denes Him,
I have been fighting for the autonomy
OF the Republican organization in Kings
county said former Lieutenant-Go Governor
Timothy.L. Woodruff yesterday. Il Q by
that that / am opposed to n one outside
the county debating what the Republicans Of
this county shall do In State or local affairs.
Odell, who Is not a resident Of this county,
is debating to the Republicans Of this
county. l am opposed to that kind Of pro-
ceeding. l am against Wheeler in the Third
Assembly district, not because l ave any
thing personally against Wheeler, but
because he 10 for LAimbeer and Laimbeer
Is for Odell. ! want to make Il as clear and
as strong al l can First, last and all the
time ! stand upon the platform that Kings
county representatives shall manage their
own affairs"
Field Marshal Mike Dady had a confer
enoe with Chairman Odell in tho Fifth
Avenue Hotel in the morning and then on
his return TO Brooklyn issued this state
ment, which Odell had o. KID;
After consultation with many OF my
friends itAhas been decided that a contest
shall be made for the election Of delegates
TO the State convention from all the As
sembly districts Of this county who shall
vote for Charles T.. Hughes as their choice
az the candidate for Governor, IL he will
accept, or for some other man equally as
good.
THERE'S no contest being made by me
for the position OF leader Of the Republican
party in this county. l have never desired
TO be a leader, and do not want the unthank-
full position.
daIa 0a AZ from fhA Na rtNaRa AaanVnhlw dis
tricts to the State convention h shall be
at liberty To voice the sentiment Of the dis
tricts they represent and not OF the leader
Of a party organization, and VIII shall be
free and untrammelled to vote for the candi-
date who in their opinion will be the strong
est man to place in nomination at his crisis
of the Republican party.
Headquarters will be opened at the
Clarendon Hotel on Wednesday, whore all
Republicans who desire to aid in the above
movement will be welcome"
IF Dady is a poor man, heavily in debt,
as some of his friends suggested on Tues
day, how can he wage a primary campaign,
especially when il necessitates the expendi-
ture of money for headquarters, printing
and other aIticlee?" asked one Of the Re-
publican leaders yesterday.
Why, haven't you heard the good news2"
replied n Of Dsdy's friends. He's got a
barrel Of money. He got his share out OF
p. II. Harriman's coup on Southern Pacific.
hC bJOIy kOcs JIM Ihtl ltilCH Atb OdCu III III
the coup, and Odell, desiring to takecare OF
Dady, let that gentleman also in, and the
result was that Dady made his barrel out
Of it
Funny remarked the FIRST speaker,
that nothing was heard Of Dady's money
before to-day. Dady's great coup only
became known after his interview with
Odell this morning. The story may be all
o. K, but il seems a triie hshy. Guess IL
there y any, money IN Dady's campaign it
Mr.. Woodruff said that it was not true
as suggested by Dady that he was COM
mitted TO the candidacy OF Gov. Higgins.
He wanted the Kings county delegation
to go to Saratoga as unit and then be in a
to vote for the candidate which
all could agree upon.
The fight I am interested in in Kings
county is not one in the interest OF Gov.
Higgins. II lie a fight waged against out
interference-Odell: Col. Dady is
about that, am no mans leu
/ am fighting for the autonomy
the Republican organ ization OF Kings
county, and YOU cannot make that too
plain"
Mr.. Woodruff, after a long days work at
his desk in Republican headquarters, started
for his Adirondack camp last evening. He
will return to Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Dady offered last night a resolution
indorsing Charles f. Hughes for Republican
for Governor at a meeting OF the
Republicans Of the First Assembly district
held at Is Schemerhon street. He spoke
for Hughes, and when he had finished Civil
Service Commissions r.. Ross Appleton
arose and spoke, %seconding the motion to
Hughes. Both speakers we're
cheerfully listened to. and when they had
closed the Hughes indorsAment was carried
unanimously by a cheering vote. Some
thing like $50 Republicans attended the
il the t~wenty-four election
captains be counted in. After the
the captains made up a ticket for
he primaries and indorsed D.. Harry Ralston
rs executive member.
