ALBANY, Jan, 2—The second and final round in the Speakership contest | betng fought to-day will terminate in “the aes caucus to-night, when | the thajority membera will deciare thetr choice for Speaker of the Assembly. Boss Odell, full of fight, yet affable, ‘sailed into the lobby of the Hotel Ten | Byck this morning to continue his battle against the Roosevelt-Higgins candl- date, James M. Wadsworta, jr, of Livingston. Mr. Odell arrived here Inst evening and he did not quit the game until long after midnight. For seven hours he ca- joled, fought and ridiculed the anti-| bosses buck of Wadsworth, brought into | play his superior knowledge of the sea- soned campaigner, and worked hext to the ground With the men who are to decide the political fortunes not only of the candidates fer Speaker, but of Chairman Odell himself. Half an hour on the scene and a quick survey of the situation were enough to convince Odell that he had a oid ehance to knock out the Rooseyelt-Hig- gins combination, He announced ‘positively that Wads worth was biaten. This opinion he not only rejterated to-day, but emphasize. with the additional statement tnat he was now certain that Wadsworth would be defeated. Ouell’s whirlwind methods of oam- Paigning bore such prospective results that the Wadsworth bosses took fright. ‘They cut down their estimates of the young millionaire’s strength, called. upon Federal and State officers for more active work and tried to check the effective onslaught Odell wus making inst. them, cosevelt Was informed of the situa- tion. “Odell is here and he's ralsing hdl,” is the Substance of the message Which ft is reported was sent to the WEN? anyining to defeat thet “Do anythin; ‘J feat thi man," is the reply which the President ie ena to ave sont to his agents in Albany, While big and little bosses and ‘thelr messengers were in the hi serap a cry of bi uy “Votes are worth $200 aplecs,” was the underground messige th and. the hotel corridors. “* Went fcholas Vanvranken ‘Franchot, tor the milifonaire candidate trom Living- ston, lesued @ formal statement ascuse the other side of using money to influence votes against Wadsworth. was pointed out that “cal” Chairman Odell’s secretary, cently sécretary to Harriman, When McKnight learned of it he went direotly to Franchot's room and pound- hig fist #0 hard on Franchot's cen- tre table that the bellboy made a grab Seltzer water to keep it from jour.
