| Miller Cab,cd Forbidden Here Already
The Sham Strueelc at the Convention at
which Platt Turned Sheara Down.
Part OF tho Republican campaign funds al
ready collected from tho poor and needy In the
Federal bureaus was used yesterday In cabling
to Warner Miller. This was the prime piece Of
news at Gen. James Walnut Husteds head
quarters In the Fifth Avenue Hotel yester-
day. Mr.. Miller has been urged to return to
New York sooner than he anticipated.
and the cabling yesterday was for tho
purpose Of hurrying him. He is wanted
to preside at the Republican demonstration In
Madison Square Garden on Oct. rs. It Is be-
lieved that Mr.. Miller will respond, but Just
how he will respond is another thing. Sena-
tor Turned-down Shcard Of the Herklmer dis
trct is in town. and on the arrival OF his chief
thin. Mr.. Miller he will explain Just how tho
only man in whom Mr.. Miller has a personal
interest In this canvass was defeated for re-
nomination at the positive demand Of ex-Sen-
ator Thomas G. Plntt
1t was said on good authority last night that
the prolonged struggle" at the Convention
at which Mr.. Platts friend Smith secured tho
nomination over Shcard was o pure sham, and
that Sheard had no chance from the first
ballot. He discovered this after over 200 bal
lots had been taken. The calling pn!t OF the
business to Shenrds friends is that both Can
didate Fassett and his sido partner. John W.
Vroomar, In their trampinR tour through tho
State. had confdentially advised oil hands that
Shcard wns to DO rcnoniinated. 1t is
the opinion that both Fassctt and Vrooman
were sincere ~ their nttcIEances. The point is
poses Of the Republican Warwick OF the state.
