these men. who have assailed both the state and
the local organizations of the Democratic party,
be given seats in the convention? do not think
II would be right or Just to admit them TO repre-

posed to give the State Democracy representation
we shall fight the resolution admitting them upon
the floor Of the convention" .
THE FIGHT MAY BE a SHAM ONE
1t would thus appear that there Is a prospect of
a tussle on the floor Of the convention over TINS
proposal TO admit the State Democracy Mos'
politicians say. however. that the fight VIII be
a sham one: that II is one of those comedies
which Hill, Sheehan. Croker and Murphy nave so
frequently played OF recent years in this state.
II is perhaps. reasoned that the Democratic party
will appear in a better light II. even seemingly II

cordingly, the 1ammany Hall delegates VIII how
with anguish while Mr.. Hill is putting through
his resolution admitting the state Democracy 10
seats in the convention, but there will be no real
smart or hurt among them. Roswell p Flower
who knows nothing about politics. has been made
n believe by Mr. Hill that there IL a prospect or
tremendous fight over the admission OF the state
democracy delegates. Accordingly. Mr.. Flower
while holding semi reception on the second moor
Of the Yates House to-nght amused the knowing
delegates by saying: "Are YOU in favor OF har-
mony or hell?' Cord Meyer, jr.. the frst man 10
uhon, this remark was addressed. replied: THE
Queens County delegates. Governor, are for har-
mony" Mr. Flower. doubtless. VIII by-and-by
convince himself that by his support OF the mar
mony programme he saved the Democratic party
from great disaster. The great argument OF the
Tammany Hall leaders in opposition to the adm's-
sion Of the state Democracy delegates has been
that these delegates unwilling TO give
pledge thatthey will support the Tammany Hall
local ticket Charles S. Fairchild, ex-Secretary OF
the Treasury. who is one of the State Democracy
delegates commenting upon this argument or
Tammany Hall leaders. said tonight
1.-THE only reason why the men who control the
machinery Of the Democratic party in this State
wish to induce the State Democracy delegates TO
enter the convention is that they do not belong
10 Tammany Hall If we members OF Tam
many Hall there would be no reason why we
should be separately admitted 10 the convention.
1t Is because Mr.. Hill wishes to bring support TO
the Democratic State ticket that we are invited
toenter the convention. But as for local affairs
we are independent We would not surrender our
independence of Tammany Hall in local matters
in order to gain entrance to this convention
= TAMMANY- SECURES THE EMBLEM.
This firm answer Of Mr.. Fairchd was conveyed
the Tarnmany Hail leaders and excited a great
e ling of wrath among them. They took precau-
ms however at the meeting Of the Democratic
State Committee subsequently, to have resolu-
ton passed giving them control of the regular
party emblem of the Democratic party in this
campaign-a star The motto Of the Democratic
party in the fail contest therefore, will be- slight

Maurice j. Power one of the leaders of the
State Democracy, was greatly amused over what
some Of the Tammany Hall officials were saying
in opposition TO the admission of the State
Democracy delegates. 1T seems 10 me- he said
that Hugh Mclaughlin manages these affairs
much better. II any concessions are to be made
he Is the fellow who makes them. lie does not
wait for the State Convention to meet and thus
endure open humiliation by its forcing him
TO make the concessions"
The State Democracy leaders are confident they
will be admitted TO the convention on the same
basis as the Shepard Democrats Of Brooklyn
that is, that they will have one-third Of the dele
gates from NewYork City. In this they
would have thiry-hve out of 105 delegates. Tam
many Hall would be left with seventy delegates.
According to the Shepard programme also, they
would have one-thirl of the New-York seats in
the Democratic State Committee.
Wilson s. Bissel. Of Buffalo. former Post
master General and ex-Congressman Charles
Tracey, OF Albany, are much concerned that the
convention should adopt a sound money plank
TO back up the Democratic National Administra-
ton at Washington They will also seek to aid
the National Administration in other ways In the
platform. -hr. Tracey also is much concerned
about the Sunday liquor plank.
CANDIDATES ON HAND
Most Of the candidates for the nominations FOR
State officers have arrived here. Among them
are John Is. Judson, of Gloversville candidate for
State Treasurer; Augustus Scheu. of Buffalo.
candidate for Controller. and Daniel G. Griffin of
WATERFOWL, candidate for Attorney General. The
only nomination that appears certain is that or
Mr.. Griffin for Attorney General At present he
has opponent. The singular fact was dis
closed to-day that the Kings County delegates
have no candidates for State offices. 1t has been
supposed that they favored the nomination OF
General Horatio c. King for Secretary Of state.
but they decline &c favor any one. 1t is there
fore possible that some other man may lead the
Democratic State tick It than General King. 1t
was reported to-day that General Peter c. Doyle.
of Buffalo, might be nominated for Secretary or
state. but he said he would not be candidate
for Secretary OF State against General King who
was his personal friend. and also could not be
candidate for any position the State ticket,
since Erie County already pressing Augustus
F. Scheu for State Controller. Mr. Scheu is maxi
ing a strong run for the nomination for Con-
troller and may be nominated.
II also appears as though John b. Judson. Of
Gloversville would be nominated for State Treas
urer Ex-State Treasurer Elliot Danforth, Of
cambridge Chenango County, here to-day
pressing the nomination OF David Clinton Dow
of Schoharie for State Treasurer Mr.. Dow is
cashier Of the First National Bank of Schoharie
Mr.. Danforth said that Schohare County had
not had a Democratic nomination since William
c. Bouck was nominated for Governor In 1912. The
State Treasures ring. ii is suspected, Is push
ing Dow for the nomination.
The nomination for Judge OF the Court Of APP
peals is much in doubt 1t stated by Senator
Rice. of Kingston tonight that Judge Alton Il.
Parker of Ulster County. is candidate for the
position. John d. Teller of Auburn, is can
didate for the Judgeshp. Congressman Sui
ger says that Judge Charles F. Brown. OF
the Supreme Court, may be nominated for
the position. George Clinton Ward, Of Boon
Vile is in the lead for the nomination
for state Engineer. 1t is possible that
Controller Theodore w. Myers Of New-York may
be nominated for State Controller. Ex-senator
Norton Chase. Of Albany may become candi-
