form Indorscs Administrations of
 President and Governor.
 New York, April 1S-New York Re publicans yesterday fired the first gun in their campaign of 1900. Their state con vention was held in the Grand Central Palace, and for the first time since Sena- tor Platt came into power as the leader in this state there was not ripple on the surface to mar the glassy harmony.
 Delegates at large were elected to at tend the national convention in Philadel- phia, presidential electors were nominat- ed to run on the ticket next fall, and a platform was adopted in which the Re publicans of New York state called unan- imously for McKinley's renomination.
 But the convention cleared up nothing else. Governor Roosevelts future is left hanging in the air No hint was made in the resolutions that he is to be renomi- mated for governor or that he might be nominated for vice president.
 Senator Elsberg, the temporary chair man, and Representative Sherman, the permanent chairman. both declared in their speeches that Roosevelt would be renominated for governor. The senti- ment of Senator Elsberg was only coldly applauded at the morning session, but the
 
 the afternoon session was received with great enthusiasm. So far as the governor is concerned and so far as New York's representation on the national ticket goes, the situation appears to be in exactly the same condition it was before the conven- tion was held.
 No Encouragement For Woodruff.
 Mir Woodruff's friends used all the ar tifices known to politicians to get a reso- lution into the convention committing the Republican party of the state to his candidacy. Senator Platt absolutely re- fused to have such a resolution enter tained.
 The lieutenant governors friends, in a large delegation, waited on the senator during a recess of the convention and de- manded that such an indorsement be giv en. Senator Platt said he was a friend of Mir. Woodruff, but must be permitted to manage the perplexing questions now confronting the party in the state in his own way.
 The lieutenant governors friends were offended at the manner in which their candidate was ignored in the proceedings of the convention, no mention of him having been made in any of the speeches or in the platform. They became very boisterous and acted as though they were trying to stampede the convention for Woodruff, and orderswas only with great difficulty restored. Senator Platt, Senator Depew and State Chairman Odell were the three popular idols of the convention who were present.
 The delegates at large to the national convention elected are Thomas c. Platt, Theodore Roosevelt, Chauncey NJ. De pew and B. B. Odell, Jr. The alternates are George H. Roberts, Jr., George J. Smith, James A. Roberts and John Raines. Edward H. Butler of Buffalo and Francis B. Mitchell of Rochester were elected presidential electors at large.
