New York State
Republicans Are
Still in Clouds
Day of Conferences Results in Post
ponement of Hostilities by
the Factions.

NEW YORK, March 14,-yAfter a day of
conference and compromise the situation in
the republican party OF New York state is
still in the clouds Hostilties have been
postponed. Both the partisans of Senator
Root, Governor Hughes and Senator Hin
man on the one hand and of Timothy l.,
Woodruff, chairman OF the state committee
on the other, preserve a trucculent and
glum mien.
There is no desire to duplicate, in the
republican party. the situation over the
state chairmanship that lately afflicted
the democratic party. II Is not wished, in
endeavoring to eliminate Mr.. Woodruff, to
make him a Corners, and Mr.. Root in at
tempting it does not wish to be a Murphy.
Yet on the fate of Mr.. Woodruff. large
measure Of the fate OF the republican party
In the elections next fall is felt to hang.
Senator Root, Lloyd c. Griscom, president
of the county committee, and the new
school Of republican leaders at large be-
lieve that Mr. Woodruff and his allies are
directly responsible for the election of
Aids as president protein OF the state
senate in the first instance, and when
that proved a mistake. Of Senator Cobb to
succeed him, which they feel tn be not only
a personal affront to Senator Root, but a
second mistake OF only less weight. There
fore there is a strong disposition to de-
mand that Mr.. Woodruff retire, and 1t is
understood that II Is with the express in
tention of demanding his resignation that
Senator Root came to New York last night.
Senator Root would not say directly to-
day that such was his purpose, but he
virtually admitted 1t.
In this purpose, ne held conferences this
afternoon with Mr.. Griscom and James w.
Wadsworth, speakers Of the assembly and
tonight with Mr.. Woodruff himself.
Neither he nor Mr.. Grscom would discuss
the outcome of these conferences, but Mr..
Woodruff was more communicative. He
consented to interview himself for the
newspapers. You may say this" he said;
when Mr.. Woodruff was asked If Senator
Root had demanded his resignation, he
answered, ask Root
when Mr.. Woodruff was asked II he
was any question Of retiring him, he an
swered with even more emphasis, ask
Root
when Mr.. Woodruff was asked II he
intended to resign of his own accord he
answered with an emphasis almost border
ing on bslligeTency: ASK Root"
In spite OF the wide diversion OF opinion
as to what 10 proper to do in the present
crisis within the republican party of the
state, and what is the proper way to do it,
both sides are still sincerely anxious tC
avoid an open breach at the primaries
The adherents Of Woodruff sum 1t up in
one word-hysteria.

the advocates OF the commission form OF
government get busy and secure the neces-
sary number of signers to petition for
special eleGtion at which the proposition

The last monthly report OF City Auditor

insufficient and have been overdrawn. For
