New York State Democracy Leave

Body.
They Refuse to Accept the Rep
resentatiOn Accorded to
Them.
Will Have a Ticket of Their
Own--NOminatiOns of the
Convention.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Sept. 26.-Chaotic
and disturbing to the leaders who have
counselled harmony in Democratic
ranks was the situation early in the
morning. The action of the committee
on credentials was a surprise to every
body.
Eere is the reading of the resolution
adopted:
-ammany Hall is entitled to recogni-
ton in all future conventions as regular,
and it's delegates are to be placed upon
the preliminary ard other rolls thereof,
and, in the appointment Of inspectors OF
elections, the use OF the party emblem
and in every other way in which the
question of party organization may
arise. Said Tammany Hal o~rganiza-
ton shall be recognized and seated as
the regular organization of the party in
New York county, but in the interest of
harmony at TINS time, the committee
recommends, subject to the aforesaid
conditions that the sitting delegates, as
well as the delegates known as the State
Democracy, be admitted to the conyen-
ton, with one-fifth of a vote to each
State Democratic delegate and four
fifths of a vote TO each Tammany Hall
delegate.
Refuse to Accept 1t.
The meeting of the state Democracy
to consider the sop thrown to them by
Tammany was called to order at S:45
and Mr.. Wheeler offered q resolution
claiming that the vote of the state DEM
ocracy entitled them, as loyal Demo
ocrats, to full recognition in the party,
and that they should not accept the
offer. This was adopted unanimously.
and a committe was appointed to go be-
fore the convention with the sentiment
of the body refusing the representation
given them. There was no excitement
at the refusal, and the meeting lasted
but a few minutes.
The members decided to use their
tickets and go to the hall as spectators.
They decided to leave for New York
at 3 o'clock.
AT the convention hall, the delegates
began to gather as early as $3.50. The
band arrived about 10 o'clock, and en-
hvened the place with popular airs,
which the delegates vigorously APP
plauded.
The delay in the opening of the con-
vention was caused by a conte ence be-
ing held i'll the ro-ms occupied Dy Hill,
Murphy and Flower. 1t was sad to lie
for the purpose of trying TO persuade
John Bcyd Thatcher of Albany, who is
personally friendly to 10th sections of
the party, TO accept the nom nation TO
the comptrcllersh p. MIR. Thatcher r,-
fused absolutely at first, ana then beg II
a series of argUm nts by the leaders to
induce him ofall into line. II was even
intimated that word had come from
Washington that he would be personally
acceptable to the admin straticn For
fully AN hour the conference lasted be-
hind closed doors, with an anxious
crowd Of the supporters of the other
candidates filing tho Railways.
1t was 1925 vhea the gayel Of the
chairman fell, and he report of the Gre
dentials committee called for. The
Queens county c, NEST WAS settled with
out debate II acsoraa nee with the report
of the comm ttee. When the contest
between T1mmany NJ the state DtinOc-
racy was reached, however, the rcsalt
was differ nj. The committee reported
the rasolrt IN adopted al its morn NJ
session, ana then there was trouble.
Delegate Patterson of Kings coGnty,
offered Il substitute in which the state
Democracy WIS occorded half the repre-
s~cntation Of Talmmany. He made Z brief
speech in support of his substitt Se. His
remarks were punctured by hissess and
applause from ire convention, and when
