In all this prelimi- nary work Tammany took no part, and in l fact after the first conference Kings county absented itself. } Senator Hill Reticent. Senator Hill, during the evening, did not affirm or deny that the slate as given a out by those in his room was absolutely that which the convention would finally nominate.
 3 One of the rumors which sprang up after the slate was announced was that q Kings county was preparing to bolt and p that several of the delegates would re- fuse to abide by the Color decision or vote in the unit system. Senator Mc- t Carreen in answering this said: g Tt is useless to try and disguise the | fact that several members of our delega- tions are not heartily in favor of Mr. ! Color. We still believe that Judge Par } ker would accept the nomination if con- fronted with the fact that the conven- tion wanted him by exclamation. Still do not think we will break the unit rule"
 Import news of the night from semi official sources, but lacking authoriza- tion. was that the committee on platform had decided to declare for 1000 ton barge canal and that the committee on credentials to avoid further trouble would seat the delegation headed by wii- liam S. Devery.

Goodwin, should be placed on the temporary roll and the delegates led by former Chief of ! | TD&T4z stants.

 Amid the great confusion Devery de- manded that the Goodwin delegates should not be seated. but the chair an- nounced that the roll had been approv- ed and order was restored. After the ap- pointment of the usual committees tho convention adjourned until 10 o'clock to- morrow morning.
 The committee on resolutions, consist ing of fifty members each representing a senatorial district, met in the afternoon. l General Raines being chairman. They were overwhelmed with requests that ! certain blanks be placed in the plat form. At the conclusion of the meeting 1t vas said few of the proposed blanks received much consideration.
