In 1913, the democratic party of the State of New
York did not vote for candidates for president and
vice. president of the National Convention, held at
Baltimore Two sets of delegates presented them
selves-one from the bunker and the other from the
barnburner section. long controversy arose as
to which should be admitted, whom it was finally
declared that both should be entitled to seats, but
that the State could only have its legitimate num-
Der of votes. To this the barnburnes objected and
withdrew from the convention, expecting to draw
OF . sufficient number with them from Ohio, Penn

delegate from each district TO represent II In the
National Convention, and the delegates thus choser
