The demand for tickets to the republican national eon vent ion, whi'h convene net Ttiedny. is groM that WO ia the ) nst figure at which one can lie obtained. The mcu who subscribed toward the ex- jiennes of the convention are receiving tickets at the rate of each ttft0 con tributed. No one has yet admitted they received ticket. Three thousand ticket are to be dis tribute to I hicago politician nnd the rest of the spar in the (olienrn is to be devoted to pre men anil friend of the polit:cinn. Many h offered to act a call boy to get inide the great convention hall, so grest i the demand for ticket!. a special session of the legislature was called to pass it. The fate of the II ughes an ti race track gambling bills, which are before the senate today, hangs on the physical mud it ion of Senator Otto Koc liter of Brooklyn, who was brought here last night after being taken from his bed. where he had been ill for u month. Kuelker was carried from the train, and early today he was seized with a fit of vomiting. Ho was operated on for ap pendicitis three weeks ago. Depended on Foelker. The senate stood equally divided on the bills, without tho vote of Foelker. who favors their passage. Tnless he had been able to be in his seat at the cap itol when the vote was taken the meas ures would have been lost. Albany has seldom seen such tense feeling over a legislative contest. The racing interests have dozens of lobby ists busily at work. Supporters of Gov ernor If ughes a re here i n large n n m -hers demanding the passage of the bills, which would put an etnl to racing in this state.
