infer from the fact that he would meet Senator
Platt that he would enter the so-called odell-
Platt alliance, he replied:
You can infer nothing of the sort. 1 am sim

whom have always been on the friendlteSt
terms. am not committed to any candidate for
Governor, nor for state chairman. far as that
Platt, Chairman Odel, Governor Higgins or any
other Republican leader as to what is the best
policy for the Republican party.
There Is no reason why should commit my
self two months before the convention. My aim
now is to get all the light on the situation. If it
is Senator Platts purpose to harmonize the fac
tions and get everybody together. then It is GER
tainly work in the right direction
It was learned yesterday that Robert c. Nor
