I NATIONAL BANK OF SAYRE “ws $75,000.00 Independence Leaguer to Be Named on First Ballot. OLD ENEMIES GIVE HIM THEIR VOTES ——————e Jerome's Name Is Practioally With. drawn — McCarrea Still Holds te Judge Gayner—New York Edi. ter Strongest Candidate. BUFFALO, Sept. 26 ~The Democrat ic state convention, now In session here, will, It is expected. nominate to- day a governor and u full state ticket at mn session which may go through with all the smoothness which charac terized the Orst Lrief session of yester. day, at which in leas than half an hous all the preliminaries of temporary or- ganization were disposed of and at which Lewis Nixon of New York, the telnporary chairman, made an appeal for harmony, which was applauded more than any other utterance. According to the conseusus of opin- lon heard on every hand William R Hearst of New York, who already Is the nominee of the Independence league, which he was Instrumental in organizing, will be nominated for gov- anor on the first ballot Along with Mr. Hearst it Is claimed that the con- vention will name Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler of Dutchess for lieutenant governor and John B. Whalen of Mon roe for secretary of state. Both Mr. Chanler and Mr, Whalen are on the In. dependence league ticket. It Is asserted that this Is as far as the most radical of the Hearst dele- gates to the convention will go in tak- ing over the candidates of the Inde pendence league, for included on the ticket of that orgunization are one or two Republicans. Ip Announcing their WILLIAM R. HEARST. decision to support Mr. Hearst a num- ber of Democrats here declared that they bad reached this decision not be- cause of any couversion to all the ideas of government which Mr. Hearst rep- resents, but because they feel that un. der the existing circumstances he is the strongest candidate the convention bas before It. Men who have bitterly fought Mr. Hearst In years gone by have an. nounced their lutention to vote for him today, though they declare they are not ready to retract any statements they have made in the past. They declare Mr. Hearst has entered futo no deal with them whatever and that the fight haz been fought squarely aud without pledges on either side. These same old party wen, “the regu- lar Democrats” they love to be called, While golug into the convention today with the announced purpose of sup- porting Mr. Hearst, are not pledged to such a course, gid If a storm should break they would feel under vo obli- gations to adhere to their political plans. It Is asserted that Senator Pat. rick H. McCarren of Brooklyn, who came to Buffalo bringing with him an enthusiastic delegation of supporters for Justice William J. Gayuor of Brooklyn, bas been unable to convince Leader OClarles F. Murphy of Tam- many Hall and others that the distin. guished jurist would positively accept the Democratic nomination and remain in the fleld us a third candidate sgalnst the Republican nouileee and against Mr. Hearst as the nominee of the ludependence league, Mr. Hearst has always heen an en thuslastic admirer of Justice Gaynor, and the two have been generally asso ciated as political friends Senator Me Carren was asked by the leaders who Were anxious to concentrate in an antl. Hearst movement to secure such a pledge from Justice Gaynor over his own signature. This pledge, it is stat- ed, hax not been forthcoming so far. Many of the men who, it is now de clared, will vote for Mr. Hearst would bave supported Justice Gaynor If they had been convinced of his position, but in the absence of a definite statement directly from him they have hesitated to net, Mr. Hearst Is generally conceded to have gained control of the three impor- tant committees appointed at the first Bession of the convention. These In clude the committee un contested seats, which will decide contests In twenty districts, Involving sixty votes; the commlitten on platform and resolutions Abd the committee on permanent or ganization, The platform, agreed upon by & sub- committee of six appointed from the full committee, will contain, it ja stat. plank declaring for municipal certain conditions, n '} option, proposition. This local. option. pro this subject was somewhat modified by the subcommittee. The chairman of the committee on resolutions Is Congressman W Bourke Cockran of New York. The committee on permanent organ- Ization, of which Walter Burton of Kings Is chairman, decided to recomn- mend to the convention the continuance of the temporary officers and perma. nent officials. This Includes the reten- Hon of Lewis Nixon as permanent chairman. Mr. Nixon's selection as tewiporary chairman was taken as the first indication of the Heurst strength. The conunittee on contested seats far nished the liveliest fight of the meet- fug, for It was reganied that here de. pended much as to the fual outcome of the convention, Reunator Thomas F. Grady of New York, a tember of the Tammany delegation, was nominated for chairman and was opposed by John B. Starchfield of Elmira The vote Was 2d to 20 In favor of Senator Gra- dy. William F. Kearney of the Albany county delegation, whose delegatas have declared for Hearst, was selected AS secretary of the committee. Mr. Hearst will be placed in nomina tion by former Assemblyman William V. Cook of Albany county. This coun- ty Is the first on the roll of delegates, and Mr. Hearst's friends will have the satisfaction of seeing their candidate first In the field. There is report out that Bourke Cockran will second the nomination, but this Is not verified The candidacy of District Attorney William Travers Jorome of New York has been practically withdrawn, Mr Jerome, however, has made no state ment on this subject, At the conference to which Mr, Je Tome was a party it was decided to ap point a committee to ascertain whether or not the anti-Hearst sentiment could not be centered upon either Mayor J N. Adam of Buffalo or Justice Gayuoor Mayor Adam undoubtedly will be placed in Lomination, and It was re ported that Mr. Jeronie wight Lave a proxy to be on the floor of the conven tion as a delegate. |e may seize this Opportunity to preseut his views to the delegates. Former Mayor Thomas M Osborne of Aubum declared at the Jerome conference that he favored Mayor Adam, and be further asserted that thé nomination of William R Hearst never would be made unani mous so long as be bad a voice to pro test with. —— Whisky as Maminating Fluid.

From this on enthu TIMOTHY 1. WOODRUFF slasm began to be manifested ln the entrance of well known figures and In favorite sons A genuine ovation greeted ex Gov ernor Black, who wags lustautly recog ulzed Lientenant Governor Bruce entered during the uproar which had greeted the New York marchers. Many of the delegates, hut not the min jority, recog nized him, and the welcome to the man who may head the tic ket was not what It would have been had he been more generally recoguized. It Is known that a large proportion of the delegates favor the nemination of Lieutenant Governor Linn Bruce, Herbert Parsons being almost alone In his advocacy of Charles E Hughes. Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks Is especially anxious to have Bruce nomindated, and tu this position he has the support of many of the upstate leaders, although it Is understood that 8 majority of then wonld quickly sup port former Governor Black If he could be Induced to allow his name to be used Many delegates state that the upstate strength will be concentrated upon ex- Lieutenant Governor Thwothy IL.

Two eplsodes, however, occasioned much comment and some amusewent One was a brief passage between State Chairman Odell, presiding, and Repre sentative Herbert Parsons bheadlug the New York county delegation, the two titular tigures In the recent scusational Republican priviary battle in New York city, Mr. Parsons Attempted to enter on the convention oor his protest on be half of the coutesting delegation In the Thirteenth axse mbly district, forget Hog apparently the long standing rule that all coutests must ¥o to the mittee on credentins coum He was proceed ng with a speech to back up his pro test when Mr Odell, with Just the sus piclon of an ironic drawl, Interrupted biw abruptly with, “Oh, sir, the proper place to present that will be to the cotmittee on credentinls when ap poluted Mr. Parsons sat down amid applanse and some laughter, every one appreci atlug how Chalrian Odell must relish even so slight an opportunity fo em barrass the young man who had de feated him and his adherents in the New York primuries The other incident was the tnterrup tion of Temporary Chalrman Dirlscoll’s attack upon Willlam KR.

By this thoe the delegates had come to realize that the resolution applied vot only to lynching and mob Violence ns the negro race, rep young man stood, Mr. Anderson, but ale te the anti-Jewish rioting In Russia, and there was a clamor for its reception Chairman Odell put the question, and the resolution was carried amd cheers One of the most noticeable things about the convention was the absence of the two Unitel States Platt and Depew, whose presence has been a certainty and a feature of every Repablidan state convention for a gen eratipn. Seaator Platt was elected by his Tioga county delegation. as usual and would have been the leader of the Tioga delegation. A collage was re served for him, but he had not arrived bere, and no one seemed to know whether or not he would be here at all It was taken fur granted that the con dition of Seuator Depew’s Lealth, if no other reason, would keep him away To those who recalled the oy dation with which these old time Republicans were received In the past their absence was 4 sigual example of the trony of polit cal fate and of the tremendous effects of the history of political developments of the past year COY MAID AT 10 TO 1.
