By JOHN SNURE.

NEW YORK, sept 2A-Republican
politicians today are busy holding final
conference and catching trains 10
Saratoga and the state convention
Interest is aroused to a high pitch
in the outcome of the situation The
feeling prevails that the Republican
party I'D this state Is on the eve Of one
Of its bitterest facuonal fights. and
that the scars of the struggle coming
on at Saratoga viii not be edaced for
years
If the convention winds up without
the party being split wide open beyond
healing, not merely IN this campaign,
but in 1872, il viii achieve more than
most people expect Of IT.
Already William Barnes. jr-, State
Chairman Woodruff, and Lou Payne
have some to Saratoga. and from their
hotel there have begun issuing trum-
pet blasts Of defiance They are in ugly
mood, IN the attitude Of men who know
that defeat for them means political
ruinati0u, so far as exercising State
wide Influence Is concerned
ThiS l. especially true Of Woodruff.
Barnes has his own bziwick Of Albany
over which he exercises supreme con-
trol, and no matter what may happen IN
the convention, must remain a force in
New York politics
Bitter at Roosevelt
The old guard leaders are especially
bitter at Roosevelt They denOunce him
for getting into this fight Barnes has
issued a statement In which he declares
the issue is whether the Republican
party Is to remain the party Of conser-
vatism OF be carried away with radical
Ism
More than this. he warns the Repub-
hcans that Roosevelt success in the
convention means Democratic victory in
the State de says the question Is
whether the minds Of the people are TO

they are to be fed continuously on "A
