Platt Opposes All Candidates For State Chair
Senator Platt declares against all names for the Republican state chairmanship and says he has no candidate of his own. He mentions John W. Dwight as a former possibility and notes he was dissuaded. He dismisses knowledge of a movement to convene the state committee to choose a successor to Odell. He says Depew has not communicated recently and predicts the Railroad Rate Bill will pass next week. Odell attended a Fifth Avenue event and will confer with county officials on reapportionment. William Halpin’s plan awaits county committee review next week.
