ALBANY. Feb. 1s.-Almost all the rural coun-
ties have by this time elected their delegates
to the Democratic State Convention to DO held
here on Monday to select delegates to the
Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
and 1t does not appear now that a single Con-
gress district In the State will be against Sen
ator Hill for President.
Only nine out Of almost 200 delegates al
ready elected are against him. They are from
Niagara. Clinton and Essex counties. There
are contests In Chautauaua and Oswego coun-
ties. All the other delegates Senator Hill has.
enough to give him the eeventy-two delegates
from New York without a single delegate from
New York or Brooklyn.
So perfect Is Senator Hills organization
throughout the State that he knows not only
the name Of every one Of the 200 delegates
selected thus far. but he knows the vote in
every county convention and the men
who will this year control the organiza-
ton In every town and every county. He
is doing his preliminary work with the
greatest thoroughness. In his rooms in the
Delavan House he has clerks. stenographers.
and a wel-eQuipped bureau. They keep po-
llttcal records and books for him. as the clerks
and bookkeepers in wholesale business
house look after matters.
1t Is announced that the delegates to the
National Convention from Albany county will
be Mayor James II. Manning and Anthony N.
Brady. and TINT they will be for Hill. This
is the only Cleveland district in the State, and
