looking for rooms these are the only
indications of the approaching Democratic
state convention. The hotel rooms were all taken
early two weeks ago. There seems to have been
an attempt on tho part of one Democratic faction 10

the exclusion of another and the short
sightedness of some of the hotel
propriet0rs here has aided In the scheme One or
two members Of the County Democracy were al

ordinary travel cannot be accommodated on those

hotel accommodations, and will he obliged to ask
for faycrs IN this way from the few leaders that

much liko this TO the outside observer.

There Is good deal of speculation among Demo-

u.ging from these indications, II appears that

The only thing that defeat the admission Of

attempted between the regular delegations from

counties in that end of the state but far as eau

iammany would be excluded altogether. Tho

difficult for the County Democratic leaders to havo
