 ton.
 NEW YORK, Oct. s.-Charles Brown, of Newberg, was nominated for judge of the court of appeals in place of Will liam J. Gaynor, who was withdrawn by the state democratic committee Saturday afternoon. Following the nomination Senator Hill and Repre- sentative Lockwood were formally notified of their nomination at the party headquarters. Chairman Hinck- ley, of the state committee, introduced Bourke Cochran, who made an ap- propriate speech to the two candidates. The most telling point in Senator Hills reply was that while the nomina- tion came to him unsought and unde- sired, he could not at this time refuse his acceptance of it from the party which had always honored him in the days of its sunshine and prosperity. This brought prolonged cheers. Rep resentative Lockwood also spoke. He intimated that the support of the ad- ministration at Washington could be depended upon.
