HIGGINS MEN HAPPY.
ARE NOT LOSING SLEEP.
Effects of Senator PSatt's Recen1
"Sunday School, Not Plain.

The aftermath Of Senator Platt's Sunday
schoor at Manhattan Beach last Sunday seems
TO be a good deal of nightmare In its intangi-
bility. With the dismissal of the class and the
counting of noses. there does not appear to
have been any change in the relative positions
or the various factonal lines Mr.. Odell and
his friends count the same as before. and so do
Senator Platt and his particular friends II the
gathering was intended as proof that new
and preponderating coalition had been formed
to prevent the denomination of Governor Hig-
gins, 1t seems to have failed.
Colonel George w Dunn, who present at
Senator Platt's birthday dinner and afterward
shook hands with State Chairman odell. said
yesterday that so far as he was concerned there
was no particular significance in the getting to-
gether
II went down to see Senator Platt merely to
congratulate him on his birthday" said Mr..
Dunn. 80 far as I aware. the talk at
Manhattan Beach did not change the political
situation. We didn't discuss candidates. We
didn't talk much politics. anyway. and certainly
don't regard it an important political con-
ference. 1 don't know what all this talk about
a Platt-Odell combination means. don't know
how far into it Senator Platt has gone. doubt
If it's as far some folks say Anyway. It
doesn't mean that all the old Platt men have
gone into it. The fact is I don't know much
about it,"
Lemuel E. Quigg said yesterday that at the
Highland Mills conference between Senator
Platt and State Chairman OdelI there was no
understanding that as soon as the state COM
mittee meets in September Mr.. OdeH is to step
down and out
1 was present at the conference between Mr..
Odell and Mr. Platt." said Mr.. Quigg yesterday.
There was no agreement or consideration that
as a result of the coming together Mr. Odell
should retire from the Craftsmanship Of the state
committee.
The friends Of Governor Higgins are more and
more confident that he will be renominated and
reelected. whether State Chairman Oden re-
mains at the head OF the committee or not One
OF them said yesterday:
Governor Higgins is not believer in mid
summer politics When he thinks the time is
ripe he will make a definite statement with ref
erence to his intentions. It should be kept in
mind that the friends OF the Governor had no
trouble in electing Wadsworth speaker and later
In putting through plan Of reapportionment
that was opposed by the Odell men. When the
time comes he will have the votes in the State
convention to control It, no matter what is done
and said at this time"

There was no discussion Of BrOome County
politics at that session. Mr.. Rogers said yester
day. "and do not know the origin of the report
It will. OF course. be gratifying If my nomina-
ton is made unanimous The subject Of politics
was not given a great deal OF study by Senator
PIatt's Sunday school class. They extended con-
gratulations his arrival at the ripe old age OF
seventy three, and he chatted with his guests on
the Veranda OF the Oriental Hotel, They talked
OF many things. but politics were not seriously
