ALL WAIT ON SENATOR HILL
It Is Practically Certain That Ran doIph Guenenheimer Will be Nam ed for Lleut.-Governor and
 cuneen Attorney General.

Saratoga, September 2s.-Few of the delegates to the democratic state eonven- tion which is to begin its work here Tues day have arrived on the ground, and those nere know little as to nominees or platforms Talk in this direction Is halt ing until the arrival of Senator Hill to- morrow morning. It is generally under stood that with the arrival of the senator the situation will be materially cleared, and while the fight over the governor ship may go into the convention the rest of the ticket will be named without con- certed opposition.
 At least three selections have, it is said, been tentatively made. Randolph Gug- genheimer will go cn the ticket for lieu tenant governor John Cunneen Of Erie for attorney general and Edwin s. At water of Duchess for comptroller. These are in addition to Judge John Clinton Gray, who has no opposition for the court of appeals judgship. Of course Mr. Gug- genheimer nomination depends on the selection of an upstate man for gover- nor, and it Is said tonight that if the gupernatorial nominee Is from New York City, Charles V. Bulger Of Oswego will be the candidate for lieutenant governor. It is also said that James H. Manning of Albany, who is a candidate Tor the nom- ination for comptroller, will be mace state treasurer for the purpose of get ting or the ticket a name so prominent in national as well as state politics.
 Never in advance of any convention in years has there been such list of names to select from. Among the gubernatorial candidates who, if the leaders are to be nI,o 4o larr1,f out in the convention or before it meets, are Bird S. Color, Edward M. Shepard, Edward M Grout of Kings; Jacob A. Cantor of New York Frederick Cook of Mnoroe, Elliot Danforth of Chenango Nicholas Muner of Richmond, Alton B. Parker of Ulster, David B. Hill of AL bany, Cornelius A. Pugsley of West Chester, John B. Stanchfield of Chemung,, John G. Mi1burn of Erie and Judge F. M. Cullen of Kings.
 Of those in the list Judge Parker, at least, can be eliminated. From close personal friend it is learned that he made the following statement:
 If the convention should nominate me by exclamation I should even then de- cline to run. I have no desire to leave the judicial work I have to rush into pol tiles"
 Delegates who are here tonight believe that Judge Parker's wishes will be re- spected, but those who admit this are not talking of color or of Cantor but of Senator Hill. Several times at piazza con- ferences during the day the conversation has turned on Hill as a candidate and the proposition seems to have found favor.
 SuIzer Feels Confident.
 Albany, N. r., September 2s.-Senator Patrick H McCaren of Brooklyn, Con gressman William Suzer of New York city, Prof William D. Lee of Cornell University and John B. Stanchfleld of El- mira, were among the prominent demo- crats who arrived in this city today and visited Senator David B. Hill. Congress- man Sulzer speaks very glowingly of the chances for democratic success and says if his party wants him for governor he will take the nomination.
