statement After Conference WSth
state Chairman Woodruff Dcncs Hirn.
Il have been fighting for the autonomy
Of the Republican organization in Kings
county" said former Northumberland
Timothy L. Woodruff yesterday. Il mean by
that that I am opposed to any n outside
the county debating what the Republicans OF
this county shall do In State or local affairs.
Odell, who Ia not q resident Of this county
10 debating to the Republicans OF this
county. l am opposed TO that kind OF pro-
ceeding. I am against Wheeler in the Third
Assembly district, not because l have any
thing personally against Wheeler. but
because he Is for LAimbeer n Laimbeer
Is for Odell. l want to make It a. clear and
as strong as / can. First, last and al the
time 1 stand upon the platform that Kings
county representatives shall manage their
" Affairs
Field Marshal Mike Dady had . confer
enoe with Chairman odell in the 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 itIhas been decided that a contest
shall be made for the election Of delegates
to the State convention from all the As
sembly districts OF his county who shall
vote for Charles E. Hughes as their choice
as the candidate for Governor, IL he will
accept, or for some other maj equally as
good:
There Is 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-
The time has arrived for the election Of
delegates from the various Assembly dis
tricts to the State convention who shall DO
at liberty to voice the sentiment OF the dis
tricts they represent and not Of the cad
Of a party organization, and who shall DO
free and untrammelled to vote for the oandi-
date who in their opinion will be the strong
est man 70 place in nomination at this u1sis
Of the Republican party.
Headquarters will be opened at Inc
Clarendon Hotel IN "Wednesday, where 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 eXpendf-
ture Of money for headquarters, printing
and other articles1' asked one OF the Re-
publican leaders yesterday.
why, haven't you heard the good ne
replied one Of Dady's friends. Hes got a

f. H. Harriman's ooup on Southern Pacific.
The story goes that Harrimen let Odelll In ON
the coup, and Odell, desiring to take care 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 al

there is any money in Dady's campaign it
came direct from Odell.'
Mr., Woodruff said that it was not true
as suggested by Dady hat he was com
mitted TO the candidacy OF Gov. Hlgglns.
He wanted the Kings county delegation
to go to Saratoga as a unit and then De IN a
position to vote for the candidate which
all could agree upon
THE fight l am Interested in in Kings
county is not one in the interest OF Gov.
Higgins. 1t is a fight waged against out
side interference-Odell. Col. Dady is
Odell's lieutenant in Brooklyn. There 70 no
mistake about that. l am no man's leu
tenant. | am fighting for the autonomy
of the Republican organi zation OF Kings
county, n you cannot make hat 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 20 Brooklyn on Tuesday,
Dady offered last night a resolution
indorsing Charles E. Hughes for Republican
candidate for Governor at a meeting OF the
Republicans Of the First Assembly district
held at is Schermerhorn street. He spoke
for Hughes, and when he had finished Civil
Service COMMISSIONS r. Ross Appleton
arose and spoke, %seconding the motion to
endorse Hughes. Both speakers were
cheerfully listened to, n when they had
closed the Hughes Endorsement was carried
unanimously by a cheering vote. Some
thing like $50 Republicans attended the
meeting, il the t~wenty-four election
district captains be counted in. After the
meeting the captains made up a ticket for
the primaries and indorsed d. Harry Ralston
as executive member.
