Convention Hall, Syracuse. —Con- gressman William Sulztr of New York City was nominated for Gover nor on the fourth ballot by the Demo- j cratic State Convention. The name of Gov. Dix was withdrawn on this j ballot and there was a rush to the Sulzer standard. Sulzer had led after i the first ballot, when Dix showed his J greatest strength with 147 votes. Martin H. Glynn of Albany was nominated for Lieutenant-Governor on ; the first ballot. The first ballot resulted as follows: Dix, 147; Sulzer, 126; Metz, 70; Glynn, 46; Burd, 28; Harrison, 21; Sohmer, 1. On the second ballot Dix lost 23 and Sulzer gained 15; Senator O'Gorman . got 1 vote; Metz lost 2; Harrison gained 6; Burd's vote remained the same; Glynn lost 3. The break to Sulzer began on the third ballot. Erie gave him 8, Jeffer son 6, Onondaga 9, Franklin 3, Mon roe 3, New York 9, Orleans 3, Oswego 3, Otsego 3, Wayne 3, Westchester 4. g w- \ jfS WILLIAM BULZER, Congressman From New York. The name of W. B. Ellison was in jected into the contest. New York giv ing him one vote. Murphy did not vote on this ballot. The result of the third ballot was as follows : Sulzer, 195; Dix, 87, Har rison, 91; Glynn, 21; Burd, 9; Metz, 70; Dowling, 4; Wagner, 3; Sohmer, 1; Gerard, 1; Ellison, 1; O'Gorsian, 1; George W. Batten, 1. At the end of the third ballot the name of Gov. Dix was withdrawn by Judge Kellogg. Before the fourth roll was half completed it was evident that Sulzer was the victor. Then Herman A. Metz of Kings withdrew his name, and Senator Robert F. Wagner cast the solid vote of New Ybrk County (105 votes) for Sulzer, making his nomina tion ""certain, amid the greatest ap plause. There was a roar of approval. Chairman Parker wielded his gavel until order was restored, explaining: "The statute, it seems, makes it nec essary that the roll be called." This was done, county after county casting solid blocks of delegates for the New York Congressman. At 1.06 a. m. Chairman Parker an nounced the result of the fourth bal lot, saying Sulzer received all the votes but the t' ee from Cayuga, which were cast for Martin H. Glynn. Chairman Parker then announced that Mr. Sulzer was the nominee of the convention for Governor. At 1.30 o'clock a. m„ nominations for other offices were called for. Wil liam Cook of Albany named Martin H. Glynn for Lieutenant-Governor. On behalf of Kings County, Walter C. Burton seconded the nomination. New York, Monroe and a dozen other counties followed suit. Mr. Glynn was named by acclamation. The platform adopted by the Demo cratic State convention not only de clares that the administration of Gov. Dix has been efficient, clean and economical but that all the progres sive principles of the Rochester plat form on which Gov. Dix was elected have been redeemed. The platform offers to submit wom an suffrage to a vote, favors direct election of United States Senators, single and State wide system of di rect primaries, simpler election laws.

Before the night was over twenty state police had arrived in charge of Ileputy Nell of Boston. Carlo Tresca, of Pittsburgh, Pa., an editor, who is an organizer of the In dustrial Workers af the World, was in custody, but gained his freedom a minute or two later. Persons who saw Tresca's arrest said he was res cued by his comrades. Tresca, with a smile, said that the ioliec let him go. The clash between the mill workers and the police was unexpected. Mors than 20,000 operatives had gone to the railroad station to we'come 700 mem bers of the I. W. W., who had come on a special train from Boston to participate in a parade to the graves of Anna Lopizzo and John Itamy, who ■were killed during the strike riots last January.

A squad of twenty-five policemen was sent to Essex and Lawrence streets, where they drew up in a line across Essex street and awaited the procession. For a moment or two all was peace ful at the head of the line. Then six little girls who were among the-march ers became terrified at the sight of the police. They broke through the line of bluecoats and ran away, cry ing. Suddenly tho marchers in the rear pressed forward and the mill workers tried to pass tho police. The paraders struck right and left at the police, who responded by swing ing their clubs in all directions. Many of the paraders were knocked bleeding to the street. In some instances the rioters robbed the patrolmen of their c.ubs and be gan to beat the police. The latter were forced to retreat into Lawrence street. After they had driven twenty five policemen Into Lawrence street the rioters lost their courage and were dispersed. DANIELS'S SONS ILL OF TYPHOID.

Belgrade, Servia. —War prepara tions are being carried on with fever ish haste. General mobilization of tho Servian army has been ordered and, 1 it is expected, will be well under way in tweniy-four hours. The publication of news of military movements is for bidden. According to newspaper reports, the Servian Minister to Turkey, Dr. Nena dovitch, has left Constantinople for Belgrade. Belgrade is seething with excite ment. The streets are full of uni formed reservists, and the railway stations are crowded with men on their way to join the colors. The mobilization of the Bulgarian army simultaneously with that of Ser via has added enthusiasm to the occa sion. Athens. —The Greek government, in agreement with other Balkan states, ordered the mobilization of her forces by sea and by land. The reason given for this step is apprehension on the part of the Balkan states that ihe mobilization of the Turkish army and the disquieting internal condition if Turkey might induce the Porte to seek a way out of the difficulties in war. Alexandria, Egypt.—The officers of the Greek army reserve here have re ceived telegraphic orders to join the colors immediately. A Constantinople dispatch says that all Greek vessels here have received orders to leave Turkish waters. Constantinople.—The Servian min ister handed a notice to the Porte and the manner of its presentation and the nature of its text practically amount to an ultimatum from the Serb country. Servia asks Turkey to decide within forty-eight hours whether to allow the detained war munitions togo to Servia or to be re turned to the manufacturers in France. London.—The situation in the Bal kans has assumed a most menacing aspect, and in diplomatic quarters in i,ondon it is regarded as extremely serious. "AUNT DELIA" IS 88.

Morrison and Two Ma chinists Victims on the Walke j STEAM CHEST BLOWS OUT Men Go Down in Steam Filled Engine Room to Bring Up Injured—Dead Officer Had Just Been Official ly Commended for Bravery. Newport, R. I. —The explosion of the forward end of the port turbine, to- < gether with the steam chest, on the torpedo-boat destroyer Walke oft.' Brenton's Reef Lightship instantly killed Lieut. Donald P. Morrison, the chief engineer officer, and wounded eight others, two of whom, J. W. Rumpf and H. L. Wilder, both ma chinists' mates of the first class, died on board the hospital ship Solace. T. B. Crawford, gunner's mate of the destroyer Patterson, one of ehe umpires named to watch the speed tests of the Walke, and John Delaney, a first-class fireman of the Walke, were fatally Injured. By a coincidence. Admiral Andrews, Acting Secretary of the Navy, had forwarded to Lieut. Morrison a letter commending him for bravery in sav ing the life' of a seaman Sept. 22 last. The missive was received after the j officer's death. Others injured are: Lieut. Robert L. Montgomery of the destroyer Kan ning, and umpire of the speed tests; D. S. Kelly, chief machinisfs mate; j W. E. Kraus, oiler; F. B. Conway, oil-: er. The accident, the only one of its kind on record, occurred as the Walke was starting on her second quarterly trial and up to this time naval officers have been unable to fix the cause. At the moment of the ex plosion the umpires named to watch the test and fully a dozen men were in the vicinity and that any escaped with their lives is considered remark able. The discipline of the crew is saiu to have been perfect and their con duct in leaping down into the steam filled engine room to carry out their wounded comrades brought the high est praise from their superiors. Lieut. Charles R. Train, the com manding officer, who was on the brdgej I at the time of the explosion, handled | tne situation in a way to gain him per- j sonal commendation from Rear-Ad- ; miral Hugo Osterhaus, commander of the Atlantic fleet, who boariled the de stroyer later. TWO JERSEY CONVENTIONS. Republican* and Democrats Meet at Trenton Simultaneously. Trenton, N. J. —Republican and Democratic state conventions at which Presidential electors were nominated ahd state platforms adopt ed were held in Trenton the same af ternoon without creating even a stir of excitement in the political atmos phere. Representatives of the woman suf frage movement appeared at both conventions and asked for recogni tion. The Republicans inserted a plank in ther platform declaring for woman suffrage. The Democrats omitted such a plank on the gr..und that the calling of a constitut'anal convention, which their platform ad vocated, would sufficiently cover the situation. The Hudson delegation in the Re publican- convention refused to sub scribe to the planks indorsing Presi dent Taft and his administration. The vote stood 54 to 9 in favor of the Taft proposition. Governor Wilson told the delegates at the Democratic convention that the very crux and heart of the campaign is the fight which that party is mak ing against monopolies. He urged that this be made the theme of cam paigners from now on. The Democratic platform pledges the party to retain the fundamental principle of the Geran law, favors in vestigation of the method of incor poration pursued in this state and advocates the enactment of laws that will "effectually tend to prevent monopolies." The Republican platform favors the adoption of the proposed amendment to the federal constitution for popu lar election of United States Se*iator3 and advocates submitting to the peo ple constitutional amendments pro viding for woman suffrage and bien nial sessions of the legislature. Senator Walter E. Edge of Atlantic City was chairman of the Republican ' convention and Senator James. P Fielder of Jersey City presided at the Democratic convention. NO TREASURY AID FOR CROPS.
