He Will Be a Candidate for Nomi-
nation for Governor.
Increased interest was shown in the
claims of the contesting aspirants for the
gubernatorial nomination last night.
Budd's supporters were very sanguine.
The nomination of Judge Murphy for the
Supreme bench, they claimed, was blow
to the chances of Murphy of San Jose for
the governorship. The Budd faction
claim 200 votes on the first ballot outside
of San Francisco and enough votes from
this city TO make sure of his nomination.
The Fitzgerald faction of the Alameda
delegation is with Budd.
Murphy's friends claim 300 votes. Gar
rett McEnerney and Sam Rucker say that
he has lost no strength and assert that his
nomination is assured.
Maguire's supporters were more conf
dent last night than at any time since his
nomination was proposed.
OStrum still declares himself in the race.
His nomination will be made by Byron
Waters of San Bernardino and seconded
by j. W. SNOWFALL Of Yolo.
Frank NichOll of San Joaquin will place
Budd in nomination and w. W. Fooie
will second it.
William Matthews will make the speech
nominating Murphy and will have James
Coleman Rs his second.
Gavin McNab will present Maguire's
name to the convention and Robert Ferral
will second the nomination.
The only faction which has come cut
with an open detailed estimate of the
strength of the various candidates is that
which supports Mcguire. Gavin McNab
gave the following estimate by counties
last evening:
San BenitO. shaky; Santa Cruz for Muir
ply. but ready to split on the second bal

1t is claimed that the Fourth Congress
sional District will go solid for Mcguire
This is made up of the Assembly districts
from the Twenty-eighth TO Thirty-fifth,
inclusive. 1t is urged that after this solid
vote is cast. the delegates from the other
San Francisco districts, which follow in
the rollcall, will hesitate about breaking
the pledge TO support Mcguire.
A new candidate doomed up last evening
in the person of Denis Spencer of Napa.
Mr.. Spencer says his name will only go
before the convention in the event that the
earlier ballots prove fruitless of a nomina-
ton. His friends claim on the first ballot
the counties of Napa. SolanO, Tehama.
Mono, SOnoma. part of Alameda. one-half
of Sacramento and some votes in San
Francisco.
An attempt was again made last even
ing to induce w. w. Foots to allow his
name to go before the convention, and
there was also talk of placing 81. NJ. Larue
of Sacramento in nomination.
Opponents of Murphy declare that there
are new efforts of his supporters to con-
centrate their strength upon some avaiia-
BILE man.
E. T. Mills, vice-president of the old
Manhattan Club, is out for the nomination
of Secretary of State
J. c. Ruddock is a candidate for Super
intendent OF Public Instruction.
&Rudolph Herrold is mentioned as a dark
horse who may enter against Stanton and
