Dunn. i i Senator Thomas C. Piatt waa in a happy frame of mind yesterday. Ha talked politics with many people, and (or the first tlma expressed satisfaction at tha outlook tor tha Republican Stats ticket this Fall. Tha troubles in Tammany Hall have Interested and pleased.

Senator Piatt, and he made predictions about Richard Croker and Tammany politics. After several talks with CoL George W. Dhnn. Chairman of the State Committee, the Senator Said So far as I know Gov. OdeU Intends to run for Governor ataln.

He will be -renominated without opposition, if he does' not change his mind before the convention la held." "How about the Tammany situation," waa asked. "Richard Croker Is In absolute control and that suits us. Tha Tammany situation Is all-right I mean for the Republicans. Croker. will have to come back from England and stay in this country, or he will lose control of his organization.

He cannot fee the leader of Tammany Hall and stay all the time at Wantage." Asked his opinion -of the three triumvirs Tammany, Messrs. Murphy. McMahon, and Half en. Senator Piatt said: s. "They will have a pretty-hard time of It, Lewis Nixon made the best of a bad job.

but he had to resign. Taken altogether the situation should satisfy all Republicans of New York State." Chairman Dunn talked further about the rumors that Gov: Odell was contemplating retiring from politics and accepting an offer to manage the affairs ot a large rail-. road. There is nothing In the talk about Gov. OdeU becoming the Eastern representative of the Harrlman interests and retiring from politics." said ha.

He is a close personal Xriend of Mr. Harrlman. and visited him in California. I believe that Gov. -Odell will be renominate by acclamation, and I have good ground for that belief." In discussing the State CoL Dunn said: Recent events In Tammany Hall have made things easy for us.

We might have had some trouble if Nixon had remained leader. He was attracting to Tammany Hall many respectable Democrats who would not have anything to do with the or- franizatlon in the past, and he was harmon-stng the factions here and up the State, when he went oUt everybody saw that It is the same old Tammany, dominated as much as ever by Croker, and decent Democrats have abandoned all hope of carrying through thf harmony plana. The situation, could not be better for the Republicans. Coming down on the train yesterday, I met one of the most prominent up-State Democratic leadens and asked him what had become of Democratic harmony. Harmony be hanged! he replied.

The main cog in the machine is Col. Dunn was confident that the Republicans would hold their-own in the legislative elections. He said that Senator Timothy Ellsworth had practically decided to retire from the Senate, adding that Senator Ellsworth runs two or three banks, has lots of money, and thinks he needs a rest. CoL Dunn had not heard- of the proposition of the friends of Lieut. Gov.

Woodruff to rave him run for Senator la a. Brooklyn district.
