At a late hour both Governor Odell and Senator Piatt said that nothing will be settled tonight; that they had a number of conferences during the day, and tomor row will meet again. One of the interest ing features of the day has been the fact that the final arbiters between the divided interests for Governor were Governor Odell and Senator Piatt.

In the evening the State Committee will meet and adopt final details for the con vention. As for the Lieutenant-Governorship, the man most spoken of for the nomination has been Borough President George H. Cromwell, of Richmond, N. T., who is un derstood to have the approval of both Governor Odell and Senator Piatt Mr. Cromwell, however, tonight formally de clared himself out of the running. There appears to be no doubt of the .re nomination of Secretary of State John F. O'Brien. Controller Otto Kelsey and State Engineer and Surveyor Henry A. Van Alstyne. The friends of Lieutenant-Governor Francis W. Higglns, the rival of Ex Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff for the gu- Dernatoriai nomination, express them selves as confident their man will be se lected. A feature of the afternoon was the In creasing talk of a third candidate to set tle the conflict between the Higglns and Woodruff interests. Two names were men tioned in this connection, those of Insur ance Superintendent Francis Hendricks, of Syracuse, and Collector of the Port Stranahan, of New York. The "Woodruff men, however, continue very confident. Senator Piatt said today: "I think the probability of ilr. Woodruff's nomination increases as time goes on."

GLORY NOT THE DEMOCRATS. Shaw Shows Roosevelt Really the Man Responsible for Irrigation. DENVER, Sept 12,-Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw addressed a large audience at Coliseum Hall tonight He touched on all the issues of the cam paign, but devoted considerable time to answering the claim that the Democratic party was responsible for. the passage of a National irrigation law "the bill as adopted originating with Senator New lands, of Nevada. Secretary Shaw admitted the entire Selegatlon in Congress from arid states favored irrigation for more than a decade, and many bills were Introduced looking to the reclamation of arid lands. These men, he said, would have been retired to private life had they not done their ut most for irrigation. It was different with the representatives from humid states none were willing to risk their political fortune by an aggressive espousal of ir rigation. When President Roosevelt sub mitted his message to Congress in De cember, 1901, conditions changed. "That message gives Theodore Roosevelt the SIstlnction of being the first to risk his 5wn political fortune by espousing the sause of irrigation." said Secretary Shaw.

To the school receiving the largest vote between yesterday morning and 6 r. m. of Wednesday, November 23, ine moaei wui be given. As can be seen by a look at the model, now in one of the large Fifth-street dis play windows of the store, this model has great scientific value and will be of interest for years to come as an object lesson, and in no slace could it be of greater use than in a public or privateschool.
