GOVERNOR ODELL |KNOK'S MISSION MEETS REVERSE YET A MYSTERY New Yoh\s Senate Re- jects Appointment of Baker. Three “Insurgent” Republi- cans Vote With the Democrats. ALBANY, N. Y., April 16.—Not since the memorable days of the Conkling- Platt “insurrection”” has the State Sen- ate been the scene of more bitter per- | sonalities or of a more sensational po- litical battle than that of this morning and afternoon, when Governor Odell's nomination of Railroad Commissioner Frank M. Baker to succeed himself was rejected by a coalition of Senators Brack- ett, E. R. Brown and Elsberg—the three so-called “Insurgent Repubficans”—with the Democrats, and an intensely per- sonal conflict was precipitated between Senator Brackett and Senator Raines, the Republican President pro tem. It is not unlikely that the battle will be renewed to-morrow, when it is ex- pected the Judiciary Committee will re- port the nomination of George W. Mor- gan to take the place of John McCul- lagh as Superintendent of Elections, sent in by Governor Odell to-day. The vole by which the Senate rejected the reappointment of Baker as Rallroad Commissioner stood 2 to 23. 9 In explaining his vote agalnst Baker's confirmation, Senator Brackett said: Mr. Baker is simply a pawn on the chess board 1 voted ainst this nomination In protest of the s ge and fiith that is being po d upon the head of our werthy Governor through the agents of the man who Inspired this nominat'on.
