Albany, Jan. 10.-The Republican
State Committee meeting in New York
on Friday may not pick a successor to
State Chairman Fred c. Tanner after
all. Farreaching plans of a group Of
influential Republican leaders, who
speak for the organization throughout
the state, propose TO shelve the selec-
tion of new state chairman until after
the Legislature is well under way and,
perhaps, il possible, until after it has
adjourned. Some Of Governor Whit
mans stanchest supporters are said to
acquiesce in that programme, and the
formation Of their plans tells the rea-
son why the Governor is spending this
week in the city.
Ii is understood that the state com
mittee leaders merely will appoint a
nominating committee on Friday to re-
port its selection for chairman at a
future date. Governor Whitman is
known to have been amensble to that
plan last Saturday, believing that the
nominating committee would undoubt-
edly report the name of George A.
Glyun. his executive auditor, in about
another week.
According 10 we'll informed Republi-
cans here, however, Glynn may get the
place eventually, but unless the Gov
crnor makes a fight for him Friday and
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-01-11

insists that he be named then and there,
a radical reorganization of the party ad-
ministration in this state will be we'll
on the way TO perfection before the
new chairman takes office.
Party Reorganization Planned
This reorganization was discussed In
detail, il was said to-day, at the con-
ference in New York last Friday,
when William l.. Ward, Of Westchester;
Senator-eloct William NJ. Calder, Of
Brooklyn; Speaker Thaddeus c. Sweet,
Of Oswego; Jesse l.. Brayton, of Utica;
Representative Charles NJ. Hamilton, of
Cattaraugus County, and National Com
mitteemRn Herbert Parsons met at the
Hotel Biltmore. Their plans, IL is I'M
derstood, dovetailed with n legislative
programme TO be advanced this session,
providing for a new legislative reap
portionment and changes in the state
election laws.
The most significant part Of the pro
posed State Committee arrangement Is
the selection of an executive steer
ing" committee, TO consist, probably,
of Ward, Francis Hendricks, George
W. Aldridge. William Barnes and half
dozen other state leaders. IL is pro
posed that this committee be the real
administration Of the Republican state
organization and that the new chair
man, Glynn, or whoever else may be
chosen, shall follow out the wishes OF
this committee rather than of Cover
nor Whitman. There is said 10 be no
intention to let Whitman be the whole
party.
1t is proposed. according to Repub-
hn cAln n
the chairman off until after the Legs
lature adjourns, so that the party
heads will know where Whitman
stands on certain legislation which Will
be introduced. The Governor then will
have had a chance to do his best or
worst and the conduct of the Repub-
licans can be arranged accordingly. 1t
is limited in thinly yelled remarks that
Whitman, in his desire to insure him
self a third term, may come a crop
per" if he is not careful.
To Amend Election Laws
The most important thing back Of
these plans. il is understood, is a move
10 amend the election laws, especially
in relation to the direct primary, TO
bring about return as near as pos
sible TO the old party nominating sys-
TEN. II is regarded as unllkelY thaI
the party convention will be re
established but whatever is attempted
will be a long step toward 1T. he
designating committee plan, which
would restore party and not individual
responsibility. is the most favored. II
is said here that Ward, Barnes, Aid
ridge. former Senator Harvey ID. Hin
man and other influential Republican
leaders will combine in such move.
The correspondent for The Tribune
is informed reliably that Governor
Whitman is unalterably opposed to
any change from the present direct
primary system, and will exercise his
veto power on legislation proposing
change. II is in that situation that
the Republican anti-Whitman orgsnizs-
ton in the Senate and Assembly will
probably be called into play.
So far as the state chairmanship Is
concerned, it was learned to-day that
Augustus F. Allen, the candidate OF
Representative Hamilton, Western New
York Republican leader, believes that
his cause will win over Glynn's.
