New York State Democrats

1t Will Send a Big Committee
to Talk the Senator
Over.
TAMMANY is VERY ACTIVE
SEVERAL OTHER CANDIDATES
In the List Are John Boyd
Thacher, Frederick Cook
and Judge Gaynor.

more strange than any that has yet con-
fronted the Democratic party and the
like of which has never been seen by
any Of the assembled party leaders is
presented here tonight. Within thirty
five hours of the time set for the nomin-
alton of candidate for the office of
governor of the state of New York, no
selection of candidate has been made,
and while one name Is prominently
mentioned here tonight no one person
can be said 10 have anything like a
mortgage on the nomination. One week
ago today the ticket nominated by the
Republican party was printed with a
show of confidence that was later veri-
fed. Tonight nothing can be indulged
but speculation. 1t is true that Judge
Gaynor's name is on every lip, but
when it is known that the delegates
here number less than twenty five it is
easy to see that the events of tomorrow
may change the whole current. So far
there are
Four Candidates
mentioned for governor: Judge Gay
nor. of Brooklyn; John Boyd Thachcr,
Albany; Frederick F. Cook, Rochester,
and Senator David B. Hill. Daniel S.
Lockwood. of Buffalo, was mentioned,
but it is said by those who know today
that he is practically out of the race
and that Mr.. Sheehan's support, which
may dominate Erie, will be thrown to-
wards Frederick Cook. Every effort
will be made, however, to induce Mr.
Cook to accept the second place upon
the ticket in case either Judge Gaynor
or Senator Hill is a nominee. AS to Mr.
Hill as a candidate, Lieut.. GOV. Sheehan
said today:
~ conyersed with Senator Hill on the
matter Saturday afternoon before leav-
ing Albany for Saratoga. He rot only
said that he would not be a candidate,
but insisted that | should not brOacn
the subject to him any more, and hoped
no further mention of it would be
made"
Notwithstanding the assertions OF
Mr.. Sheehan, there are some people to-
night who profess to believe that Sena-
tor Hill may yet be induced to accept.
With this feeling prevailing, Tammany
at its meeting tomorrow will, at the
suggestion of Senator Canter, send a
committee to wait upon the senator and
try to prevail upon him to De a candi-
date.
Fafrchild Says Nothing.
"Would Mr.. Hill make a good candi-
date? was asked of Charles S. Fairchild
this afternoon.
II must decline to answer that ques-
tion," said Mr.. Faircbild. ~ am not
here IN the interest OF any candidate,
but simply to see that all Democrats
have repre- sentative convention"
Mr.. Shepard, who represents the same
faction in Kings county as Mr.. Fair
child represents in New York, was
asked if there was anything new in
their contest. He said:
"Nothing except what the Associated
Press sent out last night. We shall
appear before the committee on Gre
dentials and ask that our whole dele
CATION be seated. So far as nominations
are concerned, we are for Judge Gay
nor"
For lieutenant governor there are
three names mentioned tonight: Fred
erick Cook, OF Rochester; John j. Lin.
don, Of Ulster county, and Jacob b.
Canter, of New York, with the chances
seemingly largely in favor of the sec
ond-n amed. For judge of the court of
appeals
Only One Candidate
is mentioned tonight, Judge Titus, Of
Erie, although there is rumor that the
name of Judge A. B. Parker will be
presented by his friends. There was
some hitch in the obtaining of the con-
vention hall for the holding of the con-
vention. The Unitarian conference.

leaders to give it up. In the Unitarian
