CHICAGO. June 22.-The sensation of the
day was the Withdrawal from the contest
OF Depew, and the decision OF the New
York delegation to support ex-senator
Harrison for President
1t has for some days been apparent that
Depew could not hope for the nomination,
and he has been feeling considerably chag-
rined that he should have been led into the
mistake of allowing his namc to be pre-.
scented.
After the three ballots in the firstsessiou
OF the convention tosass;-balIots which
but in q smell Y measure varied from the
complimentary status-Depew, requested
'fegainlng three delegates at large from New
York to meet him in council. To them he
announced his decision to retire. The four
delegates and leaders endeavored to revive
original policy OF the New York delegation,
and choose a man to receive the substan-
italy ruled support of the State. Senator
Hiscock has been rather favorable to Ali
son; his senatorial colleague Platt has
Alger; Miller has been a Sherman
man; Depew has had no second choice, and
the other three delegates agreed to cast
their Influence for the man

ont this programme an effort ie
to be made to nominate Harrison. Depew
selected Indiana, and after Depew had
withdrawn, the New York delega-
ton decided by a vote OF 65 to rs. to fol-

decision becoming known, and Harrison,s |
