not be settled until tonight whom 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
]. Gaynor, of Brooklyn, seems to have O
call on the nomination for Governor.
He appears TO be the popular choice,
but 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 d.
vorce. on the statutory grounds. Judge
Gaynor has since been married, and In
living happily with his second wife and
four children. In the minds Of some,
this attac!, 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 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 Governorr'
said he. why did they not wait until
he was nominated and defeat him thenr'
Buffalo for Clinton.
The Buffalo delegation, headed by Dan
lei Lockwood, Augustus F. Scheu and
Norman f. Mack. arrived this morning
with boom for Spencer Clinton, of Buff
faio, for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and Chief
Judge Titus, of the Superior Court of
Buffalo, for Judge of the Court of Ap-
pea,s.
In fact. the Buffalo delegation has q
candidate for every place on the ticket.
Mr.. Lockwood would not refuse the
nomination for Governor. He says he
is not making a fight for 1t, but is will
ing to take It.
If Judge Gaynor Is nominated the can
didate for the Judge of the Court Of
Appeals is likely to be taken from
Buffalo, the home of the Republican
nominee for the same Office.
Judge Titus is one of the old school
Democrats, who was prominent and
active in politics in the days of Samuel
son of De Witt Clinton.
