Mr.. BILLANY'S place

Secretary Of State Thomas w. Miller
ias requested his friends not tourge his
1ame for the Craftsmanship of the Re
publican First District Committee, to
succeed Chairman Harry H. Billany.
This means that Mr. Miller will not be
the new city chairman. He was slated
for the craftsmanship and indications are
that he would have been elected unani-
mously had he consented TO the use OF
his name.
The Republican City Committee will
meet on Monday night, when Chairman
Billany formally will present his resig-
uation. Il was expected that Secretary
)f State Miller then would be elected
chairman. he being understood to be the
choice Of the committee. It was report
ed today that Mr.. Miller had told some
IF his friends that he felt that he could
not at present devote the time he would
ike TO devote to the city chairmanship
and therefore he had requested that his
name be not used. Mr.. Miller, when
asked about the report today, confirmed
il.
shortly after the 1912 campaign
Mr.. Billany informed me that he was
going to resign as Republican city
chairman" said Mr.. Miller Some
of my friends asked me to allow my
name to be used when the time came
for the committee to elect his sue
cessor. Three weeks ago it was re-
ported in the public press that the
resignation II sir. lSillany was 10 be
rendered at the meeting OF the COM
mittee on March 80 and that l was
20 succeed him as chairman.
II have been asked by a large
number Of members OF the committee
o stand for the chairmanship, but
nave requested that my name be not
used In that connection when the
committee meets on next Monday
night to act on Mr.. Billany's resigna-
lion. I have taken this attitude be-
cause II / should be elected / am in
doubt as to whether I could at this
.ime devote the time and attention
TO the office Of Secretary Of State and
10 the chairmanship Of the city COM

party. His services have not stopped
at the Republican party alone. for
the successful leader of dominant

So far as can be learned, nobody
has been urged for the chairmanship
except Mr.. Miller, and the committee
is cup in the air. as to the successor
OF Chairman Billany, now that Mr.
