GOV. Higgins has now. It was said, a
strong ally in William Barnes. Jr.. Of

mittee Of the Republican State committee.
While Mr.. Barnes Is friendly to Mr., Plat

10 Mr.. Odell, and there were Republicans
in town last night who predicted that
Gov. Higgins would see to II that Mr..
Barnes is made chairman Of the State COM
mittee and that Mr.. Barnes In his turn.
would see to it that Mr.. Plat and Mr..
Black and others. always excepting Mr..
Odell, would withdraw their opposition
to Gov. Higgins's denomination provided
that the Governor wants one.
Gov. Higgins has old some OF his friends
that he did not believe that his health would
permit him to run again. But he does not
purpose, It was added, to be put upon the
shelf by Mr.. Platt, Mr.. Odell and Mr.. Black
without a say Of his own.
Gov. Higgins, it was learned. had sug-
gested that no delegates to the Republican
State convention, which doubtless will be
held in Saratoga in September, be instructed
for him. This was interpreted to mean
that the Governor, should he desire a re-
nomination, would like to have it come
to him as a sort Of free-will gift. and II he
does not care to become a candidate would
have the delegates free to go to Lieut. Gov.
Bruce or some other Republican. 1t was
definitely learned last night that Mr.. Platt
favors Mr.. Bruce, that Mr.. Odell has re-
Unpublished all thought Of nominating
Charles f. Hughes, that Mr.. Black doesn't
care very much who is nominated. but that
Mr.. Barnes and Mr.. Ba-nes's friends be-
'ieved that Gov. Higgins should be renom-
mated right OF tho bat.
