WOODRUFF SAFE
FROM PRESIDENT
Administration Does Not
Want Him to Lose New
York Leadership.

The White House is not going 10 be
party 10 any enterprise aiming TO
drive Timothy Woodruff from the
chdirmanship of the New York State
committee, for the excellent reason
that the Administration friends are
convinced that il woodruff were 10 be
unseated OdeIl would gain control OF
the committee.
More than this, it is declared in the
highest Administration quarters that
the stories of a conference Of New York
leaders, to be held at the White House
to cook up a plan TO unseat Woodruff,
are really emanatIons from the Odell
camp. designed TO divide the friends Of
the Administration and to cause dis
trust and friction among them.
The national Administration has no
doubt that its friends will be strong
enough to retain control of the New
York organization, and are determined
that Woodruff shall be reelected chair
man This IS said most unequiVocally.
II is admitted, upon the same high
aut lority, that there Is a good deal OF
dissausfa ction with MIR. Woodruff as
State leader. and that no inconsiderable
number OF the Administration sup
pcTteTs would be glad 20 see him drop
ped. but IL can't be done without EiV-
thing against which all effort IS now
being directed.
Notwithstanding the Administration
attitude, there IS q strong impression
among New York people in Washington
that Woodruff is liable 10 be beaten.
The movement against him has been
brewing for weeks. It has enlisted many
members OF the Congressional delega-
ton, who feel that the night this year
is going TO be critical. and that the very
best political generalship VIII be needed
to keep the State Republican.
William Barnes, OF Albany, was at the
White House this morning, and accepted
an invitation TO lunch: but neither he
nor the White House would tell the pur-
pose Of the visit II Is understood that
the contest over the State Craftsmanship
VIII be the chief theme.
