A recess was taken to allow time for
the candidates to be notified. Presently
the committee on notification appeared
with Mr.. Delamater, who was vocifer-
ously cheered. He made speech thank
ing the convention and accepting the
nomination. Major McCauley, of West
Chester, here entered the hall and said
that there seemed to be misunder-
standing about the election of General
Hastings. He had just been authorized
by Hastings to say that the latter would
not under any circumstances accept the
Craftsmanship of the State Committee.
Senator Delamater again consulted
the chairman. A few moments elapsed
and j. j. Carter, who nominated Della
mater. rose and said: "As we seem to
be assured that General Hastings will
not accept the State charm anship,
renominate w. III. Andrews for that po-
sition." The motion was carried and
