NEW YORK DEMOCRACY
Wheels into Line in Support of
the Ticket.
An Overwhelming Majority of the
Delegates Instructed TO support the
Chicago PIatfOrm-There will BE no
Contest.

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. I3.-All within
forty eight hours the prospect of state
democratic convention eniivened by a
charp contest for supremacy between
those who advocate strict party regula-
ton by the endorsement of the Chicago
ticket and platform and those who are
inclined to believe that what they call
heresies are not binding upon the party
has vanished, and in its place has APP
peared brass band, red fire, ratifica-
ton meetings with little or no friction,
and possibly placing its endorsement
almost unanimously upon the work of
the Chicago convention.
Senator Hill will probably not attend
the convention. That will remove one
element of the anticipated discord.
Chairman Hinckley of the state COM
mittee, whose place is wanted by those
who favor the Chicago ticket, will de-
cline to be a candidate for reelection,
and that eliminates another chance for
friction.
Senator Hill said to the Associated
Press representative in Albany today
and this is the first definite statement he
has made Upon the subject-"I will
probably remain away from the Buffalo
convention. The statement emanating
from Buffalo that I had telegraphed IN
response TO a query that would be
there Tuesday is without foundation.
Mr. Mack, the stare committeeman
from that section, telegraphed to me on
FRIDAY asking wren [ would arrive in
Buffalo and whether it was definite or
not that I would be there. I have an
swered the telegram. AS said, snail
probably not attend the convention, but
a great many things might happen be
tween now and Wednesday,"
The fact is patent tonight that seven
nint.-s of the membership of the con
ven'ion is composed of delegates who |
come instructed from their localities to |
vote for the Chicago ticket and plat
form. This places the control of the
and all its actions in the
hands of those who nave assured Mr..
BRYAN and the democratic national com
nittee of their support and the ador
ion of platform and the selection of a
state ticket will be very easily disposed
IF with little or no friction. The prec
edent estabis he'd at other democrs tic
is that all resolutions intro
luced upon the floor shall bereferred
without debate to the committee on
esolutions, to be by them considered in
Executive session. An attempt to even
iscuss tn Sc when the platform is pre-
ented is made impossible, if the leaders
o desire, by the chairman of the com
littee on resolutions demanding the
revious question at the conclusion of t
ne reading. 1t is believed tonight that {
ohm c. Sheehan, Senator Edward Muir ,
by, Mr. Mack and others who are lead /
lg the Chicago Endorsement movement +
ill have arrangements made that will i
revent any demonstration of Opposi- I
on, and merely have a great conven- f
on in which Tammany Hall will figure a
rgely as the leaders of the applause. n
ammany intends to come to the con- 4
.ntion on Tuesday with FIVE special
aims. They will bring with them bands n
music and PLENTY of red-fre, and will .
me in larger numbers thsn they have G
tended any convention during the
st five years. This in itself, consid-
ing the great distance from New York
Buffalo, is looked upon as significant m
is convention a great ratification meet III

ltform and ticket. n,
