DEMOCRACY AT SYRACUSE.
SYRACUSE n. Y. Sept 100 A. M.-The
most intense excitement prevails over the
split which occurred in the State Commit
tee last night. Those who have been at
tempting to harmonize the antagonistic
elements are discouraged, but the work was
kept up greater part of the night and is
now progressing in full blast. A rumor has
been started that way has been fonnd by
which Tammany can be let down easy.
Tammany still swears war to the knife
and vengeance if Robinson is nominated
and the Governors managers are devotine
all their efforts to keeping "hay-loft and
cheese-press" delegates in the lines, for
Tammany's bluster has not been without
effect upon the rural delegates, and should
stampede once start there is no telling
where it would stop.
1t is known that there will be a tre-
mendous row in the Convention when the
names OF the candidates for Governor are
presented. When matters are at fever
heat it is proposed that some one shall
nominate Horatio Seymour. 1t is expected
that the name of the veteran peacemaker
will take the Convention by storm, and
that he will be nominated by acclamation
almost before the Convention knows what
it is about This was done at the last
Democratic Convention, and when Sey-
Mour persistently declined and refused
absolutely to run, Robinson was PIT at the
head of the ticket by the State Commit
tee.
SYRACUSE. Sept. 1O-9:3O A. M.-There is
quite row over who shall have the hall
Mr.. A. Wilkinson has had executed to him
Golf biu ptnti tipy, l,at ba Sta 70
Committeeman, a lease of the hall. Purcell
also has secured lease on the ground
that Wilkinson was not member of
the Committee, and that he and Purcell
were the only men entitled to receive a
lease. When DR.. Weiting, owner of the
hall, and his manager, came to the Office in
the morning they found the hall in pos
session of men placed there by Purcell
Neither Weiting nor any one else can enter
the hall, as every door is locked.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept 1910 A. M.-The
situation is unchanged. Purcell still has
possession Of Wetlng Hall. A large force
of police is on hand outside to preserve
order, and at police headquarters another
squad is stationed, awaiting orders.
Noon-Delegates are now being admitted
to the hall on tickets issued by Chairman
Purcell, Of the State Committee. No dele
gate is admitted who has not procured one
of these tickets. The Robinson people
make no opposition. The police recognize
only the Purcell credentials.
AS General Baldy Smith and Lieutenant
Governor Robinson entered the hall they
were loudly cheered. John Kelly's en-
trance was the signal for uproarious ap-
planse. Senator John C. Jacobs, of Brook
lyn, received an ovation from the Kings
County delegation.
The Convention was organized at 1905 p.
m. by Chairman Purcell, who called it to
order and said he was instructed TO present
the name of John G. Jacobs for Temporary
Chairman. Jacobs was chosen unani-
mously.
He was escorted to the chair by Kelly
and Mclaughlin amid great cheering.
Jacobs said lie would endeavor to promote
an early and harmonious conclusion of
their deliberations
An adjournment to O'Clock was then
made. 1t is not now thought that any
nomination will be made tonight.
