SECOND PLACE IN DOUBT.


SARATOGA. N. Y, Sept 24.-It will
not be settled until tonight who the
Democratic State Convention, which
meets here at noon tomorrow. will
nominate for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and Judge of the Court of
Appeals. The situation will not arrive
until Senator Hill does.
So far Supreme Court Justice William
J. Gaynor of Brooklyn, seems to have a
call on the nomination for Governor
lie appears TO be the popular choice
but a strong effort is being made by
certain Democratic leaders to defeat
him.
An assault has been made on his
character, calculated to injure his
chances. The story is to the effect that
Judge Gaynor's first wife obtained from
. him twenty years ago an absolute di-
vorce, on the statutory grounds. Judge
Gaynor has since been married, and is
living happily with his second wife and
four children. In the minds of some,
| this attack indicates a fear in certain
quarters that he can be nominated.
Mayor Gilroy Is one of the leaders
who believes that such methods Of war
fare may act as a boomerang.
Why didn't they spring this story last
year when Judge Gaynor ran for an
Office for which moral qualifications were
much greater than those for Governor"
said he. why did they not wait until
he was nominated and defeat him them"
