William R. Willcox saw Senator Thomas Collier Platt and William Barnes as President Roosevelt requested. Platt does not want to withdraw Jacob Van Vechten Olcott from the race for chairman of the Republican County Committee in New York County. Willcox expresses to Platt the concern that William Halpin was to withdraw from the race and offer his support to Herbert Parsons. He suggested that Barnes and Platt confer, but he is not sure whether that happened. Willcox believes that Herbert Parsons will be elected.
