 This was promulgated tonight from the headquarters of Senator Hill. It was the result of a long conference of many of the State leaders, in which Senator Hill and Hugh Mclaughlin took a lead ing part. The announcement of this ten- tative ticket was received quietly by the thronss in the hotel corridors and later rumors were circulated that when it got before the. convention it might not stand. The Kings County delegates led by Senator MoCarren, were prominent in | talking of prospective changes. Despite this. the Hill people went serenely on making arrangements for the nomination of the ticket.
 Tammany Not in It. In all ttis pFeliminary work Tammany
 took no Rart, and. in fact, after the first
 conference, Kings County absented itself.
 Senator HIN during the evening did. not affirm or deny that the slate as. given out | by those in his room was absolutely that l which the convention would finally nom | mate.
 One of the Fumors which sprang up
 after the slate was announced was that | Kings County was preparing bolt and that several of the delegates would re- fuse to abide by the CoSer decision or vote in the unit system. Senator McCar- ren in answering this said: Tt is useless to try to disguise the fact | that several members of our delegations are not heartily in favor of MT. Coler. | We still believe that Judge Parker would | accept the nomination if confronted with the fact that the convention wanted him by exclamation. Still I do not think we will break the unit rule.
 Important news of the night from semi" official sources, but Ia cking authorization, was that the Committee on PlaHorhl had decided to declare for a 1,000-ton barge canal and that the Committee on Gre 1entials, to avoid further trouble, would seat the delegation headed by Will liam S. Devery.
 The convention vas callsd to order at 123O o'clock this afternoon and J. B. stanchfeld. the temporary chairman, ad- dressed the assemblage.
 Goodwin and Devery.
 Before the session convened the State Committee decided that the delegation from the Ninth Assembly District of New York headed by Frank J. Goodwin, should be placed on the temporary roll and the delegates led by former Chief of Police Devery be enrolled as contestants. When this district was reached in the roll call and Goodwin's name was read, there was a volley of misses and in an instant the convention was in a uproar. Devery was on his feet all the time waving his hat and clamoring for recog- milton. Women spectators waved parasols and handkerchiefs and urged him on while from the gallery came cheers for Devery until the entire roll had been called. Amid the greatest confusion. Dew cry demanded that the Goodwin delegates should not be seated, but the chair an- nounced that the loll had been approved and order was restored.
 After the appointment of the usual committees the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The Commitete Resolutions, con- sisting of fifty members. each repre- senting a Senatorial district, met in the afternoon. George Paines being chair man. They were overwhelmed with re- quests that certain blanks be placed in the platform. At the conclusion of the meeting 1t was said few of the proposed blanks received much consideration. Two proposed blanks caused somewhat of furry in the committee. The liberal Democracy with a committee of five head ed by Robert Baker as spokesman de- manded that the Democratic party stand for a re-affirmation of the Kansas City platform as a whole"
 The Chicago-Kansas City platform party of New York State through Kalvin J. Reach, demanded the incorporation of this: '"The Democratic party of the Empire State recognizes the national platform of 1900 as the organic law of the party until it be changed by another national convention; and regrets that 1t was not ratified by the people at the polls,'
