REAL new YORK DEMOCRATS
Regular Democratic State Convention
in Buffalo Tomorrow Promises to
Bean Immense Gathering.
BRYAN AND SEWALL WILL Be ENDORSED
Tammany Will Reach the Convention
City Tonight in Five Special Trains
with Brass Bands, Red Fire
and Cheers Galore.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 15.--All within
forty eight hours, the prospect of stat
Democratic convention enlivened by
sharp contest for supremacy betweel
those who advocate strict party regu
larity by the Endorsement of the Chicag'
ticket and platform, and those who ar
inclined to believe that what they CALLED
heresies are not binding upon the party
has vanished and in its place has ap
peared brass band, red-fire ratification
meetings with little or no friction, ant
possibly placing its Endorsement almos
unanimously upon the work of the Obi
caRo convention. a.
Senator Hill will probably not atteut
the convention. That will remove on
element of the antic pated discord. Chair
man Hinckley, of the state committee
whose place is wanted by those who favo
the Chicago ticket, will decline to be
candidate for reelection, and that elimi
mates another chance for friction.
HILL STILL UNDECIDED.
Senator Hill said to the Associated
Press representative in Albany yesterday
and this is the first definite statemen
he has made upon the subject: II will
probably remain away from the Buffalo
convention. The statement emanatinl
from Buffalo that had telegraphed il
response to a query that would be ther'
tomorrow, Tuesday, is without founda
tion. Mr.. Mack, the state committeeman
from that section, telegrsphed to me ol
Friday asking when would arrive il
Buffalo and whether 1t was definite o
not that would be there. l have no
answered the kilograms. AS I said, l shall
probably not attend the convention; bu
great many things might happen be
tween now and Wednesday,"
BRYAN's FRIENDS CONTROL.
In addition to the removal of thes
elements, which it was supposed woul'
lead to serious APPLICATIONS, heate'
controversy and prolonged and bite
convention, the fact is patent to-da.
that seven-ninths of the membership o
the convention is composed of delegate
who come instructed for their localitie
to vote for the Chicago ticket and plat
form. This places the control of the con
vention and all its actions in the hand
of those who have assured Mr.. Bryan ant
the Democratic national committee o
active support, and the adoption of
platform and the selection of stat
ticket will be very easily disposed of witt
little or no friction.
The precedent established at othe
Democratic conventions is that all reso
lutions introduced upon the floor shall b
referred without debate to the committe
on resolutions, to be by them considere
in executive session. An attempt to eve
discuss these when the platform is pre-
sented Is made impossible, it ths leader
90 desire, by tks chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions demanding the pre-
vious question at the conclusion of th
reading.
GREATEST IN YEARS.
II is believed to-day that Mr.. John c
Sheehan, Senator Edward Murphy, Nj
Mack and others who are leading the Chi
cago Endorsement movement will hav
such arrangement made that will preven
any demonstration of opposition, an
merely have great convention in whic
Tammany hall will figure largely as th
leaders of the applause.
Tammany intends to come to the COZ
vention tonight with five special train
II will bring bands of music and plent
of red fre, and will come in larger nuu
bers than have attended any conventio
during the past FIVE years. This in itsel
considering the great distance from Ne
York to Buffalo, is looked upon as sil
nitcant of the fact that 1t is intended
make this convention great rati6catio
meeting for the Endorsement of the Oh
caRo platform and ticket.
