New York Governor Benjamin B. Odell has revived speculation that he will remove George Hilliard from his position as special deputy commissioner for the New York City Department of Excise. Hilliard supports Senator Thomas Collier Platt. The newspaper reports that the rise of a Republican party insurgency is possible, and that if Platt loses a supporter, President Roosevelt will not have a solid delegation in the state.
