Saratoga, Sept. 11.-(Spl)- Dem
ocratic State convention was called to
order shortly after II o'clock this
morning. After the temporary organ
ization had been effected an adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow.
This morning the various candidates
for nomination had given over work.
There was general understanding
that no real slate making would be
done until tonight. The talk of a
slate with new set Of names was
general.
When the Kings county delegation met
in caucus this morning the resolution
for Coler's nomination was read and
thrown into the waste basket without
comment. The delegation then adopt
ed the unit rule. Otto Kempner was
not in the caucus and may talk all he
wants to but he cannot vote for Coler
lin the convention.
1're Stanchfield boomers were very
confident this morning and the follow
ers of Mackey depressed. Norman 10.
Mack said that Mackey could be nom-
mated on the first ballot but for the
opposition of Kings. Senator McCarren
said that the Kings county delegation
had not refused to support Mackey
but he thought Stanchfeld would be a
stronger candidate and had the better
chance of getting the nomination.
The Hill men charge that Croker
has planned to have Tammany domi
nate the convention. There are more
than 1000 Tammany braves in Sara
togn today. The special trains brough
,7S5 men and more than 200 came NJ

Will Race at Canton--Local Sporting
News.

Should Fitzsimmons remain per-
manently in retirement, it Is interest
ing to scan the prospects of the other
heavyweights.
Against the champion there is no one
who would be more likely to win than
Gus Rubin. He has the strength to
keep him going, and against stay
away fighter like the champion would
have an excellent chance.
Corbett can certainly outpoint JEFF
fries any time they get into the ring,
but II is questionable If the former
has the strength necessary to sustain
him In a long siege with so big man
as Jeffries. IL Tom Sharkey were six
feet one inch TALL instead of five feet
eight, and had proportionate reach,
he would beat Jeffries any time they
met. As it now stands, the champion
would have all kinds Of trouble getting
the better of the stocky sailor
on the face Of the returns, If Fitz de-
cides to permanently retire, then Run
lin would be entitled to the first chance
Mt the championship. Corbett should
also have another opportunity II he
desires. and unless Jeffries decides to
hang to the title for theatrical pur'
noses there should he some lively bat
ties between the heavyweights in the
near future.
Corbett's fine performance against
