G.mc along on time this afternoon, when
tho Republican State committee held a
meeting At the convention hall immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the con-
vcr'rN and formally threw Benjamin B.
Olcli. IT.. of the throne which he has only
nomir.,y occupied since Tuesday OF last
weoa. In his place the committee elected
Timothy l.. Woo,lrGT, It's chairman, thus
CARVING out thclast detail of the programme
arranged Nv the Leaders when they agreed
to nominate Charles Z. Hughes for Gov

The ucxt step was the election Of Lafa-
yette 3 Gle. son. clerk If the State Senate,
AZ secretary Of the committee. This, too,

beaten chief into retirement. When the
question Of an executive committee was
reached Mr.. Barnes. who used TO he chair
man uf that body, transformed himself into
the mouthpiccc Of Herbert Prisons and
explained that it had been thought best to
do without any executive committee here
after. Mr.. Barnes has been the chairman
Of the executive committee from the time
Mr.. Oicll vas promoted 20 the Craftsmanship
OF The state committee.

ny bctRcen Mr.. Odell and MIR. Barnes, and
Mr.. Od"lI IN carrying on the work OF the
committee during Camuaigns practically
ignored Mr.. Farnes altogether a. the chair
man Of the executive committee. ConSe-
qutn' y Mr.. Barnes came to the conclusion
that tue powors in the committee should
not b" divided, but should all be lodged
IN the chairman. GIis is the reason the
state committee to-day abolished the
executive committee. Most Of the COM
