Thinks Hearst a Winner.
Buffulo, Sept. 25. The Albany dl
egatlon decided for Hearst this morn
ing, and being the first on the list
will pbvoe Hearst- name before the
convention. The anti-Hearst demo,
crats have decided to withdraw their
support from Jerome and throw thcil
strer.glh over to Oaynor or Adams, a
the expediency may require.
The moinlng session lasted 28 mln
utes. It was energetic, but not en
thusiastic, ait all energy Is stored foi
the big fight tomorrow, which has de
velopt Into a contest between Hears
and Jerome. Old line democrats hav
frran around to Jerome and are golin
to fight Hearst to the limit.
The new chairman of thu rtate com.
mlttee will be either Pat McCabe of
Albany, or William' Conners, of Erie
Hearst ItiHim Growing.
Bnftalo, Sept. 25. The II cm rat
boom Is stronger than ever. Murphy
Is openly supporting him, but Shee
han says Hearst will be defeated. Je
rome Is silent. It Is expected If Hearst
is nominated that Jerome will be
nominated by petition and run Inde
pendently.
Murphy HilnkK llrwrst a Winner,
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 25. Murphy
this morning said: "We don't care for
Hearst, but think he can win. If he
does he will carry Into office a lot of
good democrats. We will nominate
Hearst for governor, and Lewis Stuy
vesant Chanler. who Is a good demo
crat, anyway, for lieutenant governor,
and may get the rest of the ticket."
Erie country has promised If their
man Is nominated for controller they
will stand for Hearst with 20 or 27
votes.
Murphy's declaration is taken that
ho expects to deliver tho Tammany
vote to Hearst and Chandler. He
said: "It Is Hearst nnd victory, or
anybody else anil defeat."
Will Puss l' Hrynn.
It Is authoritatively predicted there
will be no Indorsement of Bryan by
the democrats and perhaps his name
will not even be mentioned. A rule
was rushed thru and adopted today
that all resolutions must go unread
and undebated lo the committee. A
Bryai resolution was drawn, but lt
supporters did not recognize the gag
until too late.
Buffalo, X.T., Sept. 25. Not for
mnny years has the political situation
In this state been as complicated ns It
Is now nnd with the democratic state
convention meeting here today and
the republican state convention In
Saratoga, thero Ib every reaxoii to be
lieve that history will bo made today.
The hall had been remodeled for
the purposes of the convention. The
seats of the 450 delegates were separ
ated by a substantial railing from the
rest of the ground floor, parts of
which were given over to the alter
nates and the public In general. The
seats for the spectators, about 1400
in number, wero arranged behind the
seats of the delegates, while the seats
for tho members of the press were
plnct right In front of, the stage, be
tween the platform nnd the seats of
the delegates. The galleries .accom
modated nbout 1000 spectators In ad
dition. The seating accommodations
for tho. press were entirely Inadequate
and there were more correspondents
than seats to accommodate them.
The situation may bo briefly sum
med up as follows: Altho thero has
been some talk of several other can
didates for the gubernatorial nomina
tion, It Is generally admitted that
there are only two bona fldo aspirants
for the nomination before the conven
tion Hearst and Jerome. Hcnrst,
who has already been nominated for
governor on the Independence League
ticket, Ireprezcnts the rndlcal element
In the party and has a strong follow
ing. Not only has pnrt of Tammany
Hull declared In his favor, but many
county delegations are cither Instruct
ed to vote for him, or nre known to
fnvor his nomination. The Hearst
men nre bitterly opposed by tho con
servative clement, which Is particu
larly strong In tho Interior towns and
country districts. Altho not many of
the delegates are Instructed outright
to vote for Mr. Jerome, It Is well un
derstood that he will have the support,
of the conservative element, which

does not consider Hearst a safe man
to be at the head of the state ticket.
Now, It is well known that Hearst,
as well as Jerome, Is determined to
run for governor, either on the dem
ocratic ticket or on an independent
ticket. That, naturally, complicates
the situation a great deal. If Hearst
should be nominated the Jerome fac
tion Is sure to bolt and Jerome will
run ns Independent candidate, as he
did at the last municipal election,
when be was elected by a good mar
gin.. If Jerome should be nominated,
Hearst will still be gubernatorial can
didate on the Independence League
ticket and the fight Is bound to be a
three-cornered one.

With fair skies and an attendance

the district fair Is now upon the sec

balance of the week passes as success
fully as the first two duys there can

2261 paid admissions, which were
more than was expected, and It is now
believed that the estimate of 10.000
