Carnegie Hall, New York, Sept. 49,
The fact that the Greater New York
nomination would be made at the night
session of the republican convention,
and that a report would be read from
the conference committee in session
during a greater portion of the day,
caused crowd to gather in front of
Carnegie hall at an early hour tonight.
The main entrances to the building
We're thrown open at an early hour.
The gallery was quickly packed to it's
utmost capacity. The dress circle fill
ed up next, the holders of tickets for
the parterre boxes coming last.
The two bands, the one on the main
floor and the annex band up in the
gallery took turns in making things
HNGly. oGIdlOI ldtl, dSSoAiiPe'iiiNe -
Mrs. Platt and several ladies, appeared
in the parterre box Immediately above
the right of the platform. This box
was handsomely decorated with black
and gold trimmings and overhung by a
gold banner.
The band played "Hail to the CHIEF
and tbe crowd cheered and yelled until
it was hoarse.
Three cheers for Platt" were given
again and again. The senator bowed
and miled.
Jacob Worth, the we'll known Brook
lyn republican leader, and his lieuten-
ants, principally from Kings county
supposed to be in favor of the nomina-
ton of Seth Low for mayor of Greater
New York, were still engaged in an
earnest conference when Chairman
Woodruff called the convention to order
al S:07 p. m.
Joseph M. Deuel. announced that the
committee on contested seats had CIV
en- the Worth and anti-Worth one half
votes. He moved the adoption of the
committee's report
When putting the motion Chairman
Woodruff was interrupted by Delegates
Hirsch of the First district of Kings.
He declared that his delegation had
not received fair treatment. He
thought that they had not been given
sufficient time.
II was not born a twin,' went on Mi.
Hirsch, 'fand / don't know which half
of myself would vote for Seth Low and
which half for some other person"
This was followed by loud applause,
mingled with Kisses.
Mr.. Quigg moved that Mr.. Hirsch'e
motion be laid on the table.
Jacob Worth made an impassioned
speech in the 'nalne of fair play and
Justice" He was frequently hissed and
he finally remarked, Il have been hiss
ed as often as l have been applauded,
and don't know that I ever deserved
the one more than the other"
Sheriff Buttling, who is Jacob
Worth's chief assistant in Kings eoun-
ty, demanded roll call. During the
roll call Mr.. Quigg announced that the
boroughs of New York and Bronx had
ordered him to cast 191 votes against
Delegate Hirsch's motion. This an
nouncement was greeted with signs OF
appreciation and disapprobation.
Chairman Woodruff cast an affirma-
tive vote in favor of the delegation.
The Brooklyn delegation, however,
stood by Worth and thegmen who sup
ported Seth Low better than anticipat-
ed. The borough of Queens cast Is
votes in the affirmative, the borough
of Richmond delegates voting the same
way The motion of Mr.. Quigg to table
the Hirsch motion was carried by a
vote of 301 to 46, one delegate from
Kings not voting.
The report of the committee on con-
tested seats was then carried by an
overwhelming vote and Delegate
Hirsch's motion was laid on the table.
The temporary officers of the conven-
tion were elected permanent officers.
L. E. Quigg was elected president of
the city committee.
Chairman Lauterbach of the commit
tee on resolutions was cheered to the
echo when he rose to read the report of
his committee, as follows:
The republicans of the city of New
York, in convention assembled make
this declaration of their position and
q principles:
ln6Te Is Olle great ISSUE DGloI6 Tic
people at this time. 1t cannot be sepa-
rated from any political contest. 1t is
the issue created by the Chicago plat
form, and nothing can be more obvious
than that the results of every election
national, state or municipal, until that
platform has been formally abandoned
s by the party that made it, must count
4 for or against its odious and destructive
principles.
~ Every intelligent voter knows that the
first mayor of Greater New York with
5 all his tremendous power for good or
evil will be either the candidate of this
j convention, or a Tammany democrat.
Il Every intelligent voter knows that if
+ the first mayor of Greater New York
is the candidate of this convention "a
Il mighty impulse will be given in sup
port of every sound principle of govern

E statesman of the very highest rank in
antecedents, in character and in ability.
81 Every intelligent voter knows on the
other hand that il the first mayor of

crat the effect will be greatly to revive
