WILBER, BUFFALO THE MECCA Over Nomination, HEARST SAID 10 BE FIRST CHOICE —————— Numerous Candidates For Gevernow, Jerome; Mayer MeClelian and Salser of New York aad Adam of Buffalo. BUFFALO, Sept. 24 —Delegates to the Dewocratic state couvention, which opens in this city tomorrow, are arriv. ing from various sections of the state. The 106 delegates from New York county, generally termed the Tammany delegates, will reach here early today and will go into caucus tonight, Upoa the outcome of this caucus de- pends much as to the =ituation in the senvention when It Is called to order by Cord Meyer, chairman of the Dem- ecratic state committee. Informal conferences between the leading Democrats of the state were beld at the Iroquols hotel, where all the opposing forces are gathered un- der ene roof. The time seems to be devoted for the mest part to a measuring of the stresgth of William R. Hearst, whose name will be presented to the conven tien with the greatest number of pledg- od votes of aly of the candidates. Mr. Hearst already bas been named as the gubesnstorial nowinee of the Inde pendence leagne, of which be is presi dent. Nax F. Ihmeen state chalrman of the Independence league. and Lewis Stoyvesant Chanler of Dutchess, the nominee of the Independence league for lleutenant governor, who is a dele ta $0 the Democratic convention ress Dutchess, are here. W. J. Conners of this city, one of the Erie county delegates to the conven tion, whose proposal to the Independ- ence league that its nominations be de- fesred until after the Buffale cenven- tio was voted dewn, has declared that Mr. Hearst has 175 delegates. The entire number of delegates is 450, with 22¢ necessary for a nomination. Mr. Cenners at Rochester joined Qharles F. Murphy, the leader of Tam- many Hall, who was en route to this city. Mr. Conners and Mr. Murphy were closeted together in the drawing room of = slédeping car all the way from Rochester to Buffalo. - On their arrival hete neither would discuss what conclusion, if any, had been ar vived at. Mr. Murphy bas been quot- od 2 number of times as saying that be bad found pienty of sentiment In Tammany Hall fer Congressman Hearst. District Attorney William Travers Jerome of New York county, one of the leading eandidates for the guberpa- torial momination, was a conspicuous figure in the lobby of the Iroquols and was always purrounded by a trong of Jursenal friends and sdmir- ore. Mager George B. McClellan of New York, one of Mr. Jereme's stanchest supparters, is at the Iroquois and also Fire Commissioner Joka ¥. O'Briea of New York, who is allied with him. The supporters of Mayor J. N. Adam of Buffale for the pemination as gov- ener are quite conspicuous. Bach wears a blue ribbon badge with Mayer Adam's picture on it. The advocates of Congressman Wil Mam Sulser were aleo active, and Sal- ser badges were numercusly displayed The fact that some delegates to the convention from Erie county are in- structed to vote for Mr. Hearst, pro- be is not the candidate of any party at the time of their se vot- ing, bas brought up the question as the Joga! status of the nominations made by the Independence league. These nominations are not effective and are net entitied to 2 place on the official baliot until petitions signed with fifty Sawa in each county are filed with the secretary of state at Albany. Bo far the petitions have not heen com- pleted or filed. Whether or not under the circumstances Mr. Hearst stands as the official nominee of another par- ty remains apparently for the dele- gates themselves Lo decide. There is sald to be a movement on foet to have the convention declare for William J. Bryan for president in 1008, The fight for the governorship is so emgrossing, however, that the question of presidential indorsements will probably not come up until after that is settled. Congressman Willlam Sulzer, who has been mentioned In connection with the Democratic gubernatorial nomina- tion, sald: “My friends feel confident of my nomination for governor, but I bave po puffed up vanity In the matter. I want to do my best to bring about Democratic unity and harmony and the success of my party In the Interest of better state government for all the people. If the comvention nominntes me I shall accept and carry the stand- ard to the best of my ability. If It so- jects another man I will support him loyally and enthusiastically. “Mr. Hearst and myself have been friends for years, and for my part pol- ftices will not sever the friendship, If hie is nominated there will not be In all the state a more earnest worker in his behalf than myself, and I sub- mit to the candor of the Democratic delegates and to the electprate of the manly on part of Mr, Hearst to now that bs am nominated he will Support me." FIT TO PRINT". RS for the Republican state convention, all frankly dependant upon the fual word from Govervor Higgins as to whether or not he will cousent to stand for a remomination. That decision, It is expected, will be given by the gov- ernor from Albany today upon his re turn from his home In Olean. There is real uncertalaty as to what Governor Higgine' decision will be, though most of the leaders who have been in bis eonfidence lucline to the belief that he will refuse to be a can- didate. The pressure upon bim to re scind what I= generally believed to have been a negative declsion was con- tinued by telegraph and telephone, but no intimation fame from him as to what his decision would be, Meanwhile there has been active speculation ds to who will be chosen for the head of the ticket if the gov: ernor should decline. The names of Lieutenant Governor Bruce, Charlies E Hughes and Timothy L. Woodruff are those most prominently mentioned. While it Is ackpewledged that Mr. Hughes would be a strong candidate, it is freely asserted that the upstate politicians do not take kiadly to him Perhaps it would be nearer the truth to quote from ene of the leaders whe remarked that “no one couid tell what Hughes would do If he was governor. He might smash things, and none of us can tell whether he himself would net be amoung those hurt.” Republican leaders bave started a movement to nominate Elihu Root for governor If" Governor Higgins refuses & renomination. FAKE BROKER'S GAME. Young Woman of Montclair Drugged, Robbed und Abducted. E UPPER MONTCLAIR, N. J. Sept 24.—Miss Eleanor Wood of 130 Delle vne avenue Is recovering at her home from the effects of an experience which has stirred that city to anger and which the police are investigating with stern purpose. She responded early last week to an advertisement offering “s good paying position and requiring no previous ex- perience.” On Wednesday a touring automobile with red leather upholstery drew up In front of her home and a tall, well built man, baring a pros perous appearance, dressed Im dark clothes aud wearihg a brown touring cap, stepped out of it and inquired for Miss Eleanor Wood, stating that be bad received her application for the ddvertised position and desired to en- gage har. He represented himself as the senior member of a firm of New York brokers and made loquiries concerning her capability to take charge of an uptown office they were about to open in New York, He called again with his automobile, accompanied by his chauffeur, om Thursday and loformed Miss Wood that he bad decided to engage her, but added that she would be required to give bond for $25,000. Miss Wood did pot koow of amy friend who could furnish it. While Miss Wood was at the home of a neighbor she was called to the telephone by the stranger. His auto- mobile had broken down in the busi ness ceuter of Montclair and he was anable to proceed further, be said. He made an appointment to meet him at the Montclair Savings bank. where she could pay bim $100 for the bond Mise Wood hastened home and induc ed her father to advance her the mon- ey, which he did by writing out am order for $100 on the Montclair Bav- ings bank. She had this cashed and handed the money to the alleged broker at the bank, according te the appointment, Miss Wood returned to her home Sunday morning, but was so prostrat: od as to be unable to give a coherent account of herself or tell where she bad been since her disappearance on Thursday afternovn. After she pald over her money to the alleged broker be bad invited her to ride with him over to East Orange, where the surety boud was to be procured. What be- came of her after that cannot be ascer- talned. Miss Wood is too Ill to speak of her experience, and no one seems to know hew she reached home again. It is thought that chloral or some sim- ilar drug had been given to her, Dr. Willlam H. Areson, who Is the physician of the Wood family, was called In at once. He stated that Miss Wood was in no condition to be ques tioned. Later * was found that the automobile bad been hired at Bloom- feild, N. J. Foreign Food Barred.

ATLANTARACE RIOTS Capital of Georgia Held by State Troopa SIXTEEN SECROES ARE SHOT DOWN ——— Med Lawiessness Came as Result of Repeated Crimes of Colored Men. ‘Many Victims Thought to Be innocent Citizens, ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 24.-Atlanta is In possession of the state troops Governor Terrell issued an order at midnight calling out eight companies of the Fifth infantry and ome battery of light artillery. This order was pot issued until sixteen negroes and one white man had been killed and fifteen taken to the hospitals, five of whom will dle This condition came as the result of numerous and repeated assauits or at tempted aasauits upon white women by negroes. The reports of an even dozen of such assaults within the lim- its of Fulton county within the last nine weeks came here Saturday, four attemnpts at assanit being recent Flaring headlines in the special edi tions of newspapers wrought the pop- ulace to a high pitch of excitement. The usual Baturday night crowds were largely increased by men and boys who througed 11% downtown streets. There was no leader aud no overt act uatil ate in the evening. About 10 o'clock a negro man shoved a white woman from the sidewalk on White hall street, in the ceater of the town. Almost simultaneously a negro womnnsa made an insulting remark to a white mau on an adjoining street, and be administered what he considered due punishment From this start the mob began its work of destruction. Five thousand men and boys thronged the downtown streets looking for negroes. News that t riot had started brought thousands more from thelr homes lu the suburbs and residence districts until fully 10. 00 men througed the downtown sec tions, They made attacks on the in- coming street cars. Each car was scanned for negroes. The trolleys were pulled from the wires, and in the semi- darkness of the unlighted cars negroes were beaten, cut and staruped upon in an noreasoning, mad frenzy If a pegro ventured resistance eor remonstrated It meant practically sure death. One car half filled with negroes approached from an outside run, The mob dashed for the car, Resistance was made by the negroes, who had not been apprised of the trouble. Three negroes lay dead on the floor of the car when it was permitted to move on, aud two more were seriously beat: en and unconscious Negro men and women riding to thelr bomes after the work of the day were torn from the cars or attacked in the streets. In a few cases negroes re- taliated in the early part of the night, but after 10 o'clock they were scarce in public places The fire department was called out to disperse the mob In Decatur street, a street most frequented by negroes, and for a time seemed to hold the crowd at bay. The police reserves were called out and will hold the sit. uation until the troops can be mobilix ed. The moh seemed to lack leader ship, and this doubtless prevented great slaughter. Mauy reports are being received from the outskirts of the town of rioting and negroes being killed and driven from their homes. Rumors have f(t that at least twenty-five to thirty or more negroes have been killed, but it is impossible to confirm these reports, A moeting of citizens, bankers and business and professional men, repre- senting the best element of Atlanta citizenship, was held bere to cousider the present emergency. Governor Jo- seph M, Terrell, Mayor James G. Wood. ward, Colonel Robert Lowrey, Colonel James English and others to the num- ber of 800 were present. Speeches were made and waruly applauded, in which the killing of half a score of in- noecent negroes and the woundiug of a score or more of whites and blacks were condemned as a reflection on the best spirit of the city, the state and the south The heralding of recent assaults on white women by negroes In flaming headlines In the extras of local papers wis condemned In unmeasured terms, and the earvest request was nade that hereafter no special editions covering these topics be issued Such “inflam matory headlines” were declared to have been the direct lacitement to the outrages. = Resolutions were adopted urging upon the city council the enactment of laws closing low negro dives, In which, it was declared, much of the crime among the negro classes has its origin Although urgently requested from many sources to declare martinl law, Governor Terrell has so far declined to do ss. Mayor Woodward urged that the city and county police, with the militia, are amply able to handle the situation. The entire elty Is belog pa trolled, both In the center and Ju the residence districts. Mayor Woodward has issued a re quest that all citizens, white and black, rewisin off the streets at night. He an: nounced that he will order all saloons closed all day If necessary.

American intervention : That the differences of the opposing factions could be reconciled was not believed to be possible until now, when it was announced that the Liberals and the insurgents had agreed to a peace conference with the American wediators, It is evident that the business inter ests of the island have no confidence in the ability of the Cubans to rule themselves. and now, when it appears too late, they are openly favoring forel. ble intervention and possible annexa- tion. Secretary of War Taft Is cog: nizant of this geueral opinion that peace cannot last unless It Is enforced by an American army, but he consid ers that it is the duty of the United States to give the republic another chance and belleves that It would be bad policy for the United States to keep a force Im Cuba longer than was required to supervise the laying down of arms. He sald that If the Liberals and Moderates harmonize thelr differ ences the United States must regard the compact as made in good faith. That peace will come as the result of the mediation of the United States is wow bLelleved by Cubans, regardless of party atfiliation, but whether it will be on termi: which will insure permanent tranquillity Is questioned Thete was considerable comment over the fact that a salute of alueteen guns was given Secretary Taft when he visited the warships Previously he had beer given the usual seventeen guns, to which the secretary of war Is cutitled.
