Hiscock Surprised In Madison.
SYRACUSE Sept. 26.-At their County Con
vention at Worthwhile to day the Republican,
| OF Madison county elected . delegation o
forty to the Senatorial Convention in thi:
city on Thursday in favor OF Charles W. Sta
pleton Of Madison. This result was a sur
prise to ex-senator Frank Hiscock. who had
anticipated that Senator John 4. Smith would
be in control OF the Madison end OF the TWEEN
ty-fourth district. Mr.. Stapleton is known to
be on friendly terms with Congressman ]. J
Belden. who 10 thus placed in absolute su-
premacy in the district. He and his friends
will be ablo to nomin ate whomever they please
on Thursday.
Stapleton would 10 himself the candidate
except that he would have to overcome the
prejudice in Onondaga county against Madi-
son county man in the Senate. The Republ-
cans OF Onondaga lost the old district by nom-
mating Rufus T. Peck OF Cortland county. The
only candidate Congressman Belden has
had In mind in Onondaga county is Gen. D. H.
Bruce who. however. is embarrassed by q
question regarding his eligibility. His con-
nection with tho Water Department Is thought
by some to make him city officer. and there
fore ineligible under the Constitution. There
is grave fear that. should he be elected and
the Senate was Democratic. he would lose his
seat. Otherwise he is q strong candidate. Tho
friends OF Mr. Belden: by canyassfng Madison
county against Senator Smith. have become
masters Of tho situation and are demanding
Stapleton $ nomination.
Senator John I, Smith made a sensational
speech. in which he com planned OF the means
employed TO dcfeat his denomination after Il
canvass all summer in which he had been as
sured that there was no opposition to him, and
the Republicans of Madison. When sufiicient
deieS3ht,es had been chosen in onondaSa to as
tAt
which would take from him Madison;s
district well and hoped for the appreciation OF
his constituents, The motion prevailed. Mr..
