Bishop Potter presided. He opened the
speechmaking by remarking that there
was nothing more significant in the move

the German emperor and the President of
the United States.
"Mr. Carnegie told me after his return

HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT.
Unanimously Endorsed by New York
Republican County Committee.

NEW YORK. January 30.-The republii
can county committee indorsed Coy.
Hughes last night for the republican
nomination for the presidency by a
unanimous vote. The resolution also in
dorsed the administration of President
Roosevelt
Chairman Parsons and his friends in
sisted at the meeting of the executive
committee held in the afternoon that any
resolution favoring the selection Of Gov.
Hughes as the choice for the presidential
nomination of the local republican organ
.zation should contain clause commend
ing the administration Of President Roose-
welt.
There was some opposition to this prop
osition on the part Of William Halpin and
four others of the Odell district leaders
n the executive committee, but when II
was agreed by Mr.. Parsons and those
back of him that that part Of the resolu-
ton relating to Mr.. Hughes should be
more strongly worded than the original
esolution. and should pledge the COM
mittee not only to indorse the governor.
but to work for the sending OF an In
structed delegation for him to Chicago,
The Odell men finally consented to the in
sertion of the Roosevelt clause.
The meeting of the committee was unan-
imous, so far as the voting for the resolu-
tion was concerned, but that the fight
against Mr.. Parsons is still on was made
clear by the Odeil men. who. under the
guise of seeking to pass the Hughes reso-
luton at the last two meetings of the
committee, have been really working to
undermine Mr.. Parsons control Of the
organization.
Parsons was taunted last night by men
like Edward Lauterbach and Abraham
Gruber of calling a special meeting of the
committee to indorse Gov. Hughes only
because he had received permission to do
SO from Washington. and because also it
was realized In Washington that to con-
tinue the opposition to Gov. Hughes might
mean the loss of the state to the republi-
can party in the coming election.
1t was apparent at last nights meeting
that while the two factions In the or
ganization had agreed in the afternoon to
pass the compromise resolution which was
presented to the meeting of the county
committee, the factionalism in the COM
mittee is as bitter as ever, and that in
the next few months Parsons will have
to fight hard to retain his control of the
committee.
