Queens county had called the convention to
order. Gen. tracy explained that the city dele
CATIONS had not ali hecn elected, and those dele
gates who were In attendance with credentials
held them from Assembly conventions which
had not been regularly called bv the General
Committee; therefore, he thought II advisable
to adjourn until the delegates were properly
elected ov the conventions that had been called
for Saturday night. Senator Madden Of Orange
county thought that the Convention should be
organized. Other speakers were quick To oppose
a nasty adjournment, aud the country dele

tives support to the Ring candidate, Taupcn.

Senator Madden was elected Chairman and II.
