THE POLITICAL CAMERA
It Shows Further Democratic
Complications in New York.
THE STATE oOGMITTEE NOEEsED

tior In New York state was still further
comri.cated last night by the failure OF the
Democratic state committee 10 nominate
candidate for chief Justice Of the court of
appeals. The committee met 90 the Hoh
man House at o'clock, Chairman Edward
Murphy presiding. As stated in the call,
The committee was called to order for the
purpose Of nominating a chief justice, and
the fact that this was not done was q sur
prise 10 the uninitiated.
lt had been tacitly understood that the
nomination was to fan to Judge Rufus w.
PcclSham, but it is probable that theaction
of the County Democracy ON Thursday
night when il declared for independent
local nominations SO incensed the state
committee that it altered It's determination,
CT at least postponed the nomination until
assured that the third ticket idea had been
abandoned
It was also stated that the failure TO
nominate was due 10 the opposition of
Hugh Mclaughlin, who has a candidate in
the person of William G. Dewitt, Of Brook
lyn.
It is openly asserted that, should the
nniisnappers persist In nominating third
ticket the state committee viii retaiate
by nominating Mr. De Witt, Judge Lt..'
or possibly Judge Isaac Maynard, and that
tie postponement of a nomination was for
the purpose of giving the ant.a.4... pers
time TO consider the situation
The Antisnappers.
No third ticket has yet been nominated
by the antisnappers AS evidenced by the
meeting held by them last night however,
the probabilities of an anN-Tammany coun-
~ ticket are stronger than ever Although
no action was taken further than the adop-
tion of the report of the committee APP
pointed 20 meet Chairman Harrity and
Messrs. Dickinson, Quincy and Smalley, of
the Democratic national committee, there
was much speech making i'm favor OF q
third ticket. The report of the conference
