UTICA, N. Y, April 23.-The Republican
State convention was called to order by
Chairman Warren at 1890 p. M, and Clerk
John Vroolnan called the roll of delegates.
The names of Warner Miller, Roosevelt, Ed
mund L. Pitts and Erwin were slightly ap-
plauded, but the cheers were so weak that
they hardly rose to the dignity of applause.
Montgomery county was skipped in calling
the roll because of the contesting delegations
from that county. The words ''Whst is
your further pleasure" were scarcely out of
the chairman's mouth when the Hon. Theo-
dore Roosevelt was on his feet and was rec
oenized by the chair. He was enthusiast
calIy applauded. He nominated for tempo
rary chairman the Hon. Nathaniel G. Boyn-
ton, of Essex. Senator Warner Miller named
the Hon. Edmund L. Pitts for temporary
chairman. The Hon. George Bliss suggested
that the roll be called and each delegate
name his choice. This method was adopted.
In this manner the strength of the factions
was tested at the outset and the result was
awaited with great interest. The vote re-
suited as follows: Pitts 24O, Boynton PSI.
Kings county cast her forty-seven votes for
Boynton r. G. Plat voted for Pitts amid
misses and cheers. The announcement of
the vote was received with cheers that lasted
