Saratoga, Sept. 21.-Out Of situa- ton which at times seemed almost im- possible of amicable solution, the lead CTS of the Democratic Party today found a way to unanimous action and at 8:23 o'clock this afternoon the State Convention adjourned after having nominated unanimously the following ticket:
 For Governor-D. Cady Herrick of Albany, at present a Justice of the Su- premo Court.
 Lieutenant- -Governor-Francis Bur ton Harrison of New York, now Rep .resentative in Congress from the Thir- teenth District.
 For Comptroller-George Hall of St. Lawrence.
 State Treasurer-william Muench, of Onondaga-
 Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals Edgar M. Cullen of Kings. (Dem.)
 For Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals-william E. Warner, Monroe, I(Rep.). now of that bench by designa- tion by Governor Odell, and the Repub- lican nominee.
 The conference of leaders last night was resumed before ' o'clock today ana continued almost up to the moment or the chairman's call for nominations TOT the office of Governor.
 Former United States Senator David B. Hill presented to the convention the name of Supreme Court Justice Daniei Cady Herrick of Albany. Judge Her rick's name was received with great enthusiasm and endorsed with cordial speeches of support by representatives of three of the clements whose attitude had been an important factor in the serious situation which had formed the subject of the conference. 1ncidental' ly Senator Hill was accorded a recep- ton which was little less than an ova- | ton.
 A notable feature of the convention was the disappearance of all open eVi- dence of the factional warfare between the Kings County organization head ed by State Senator McCarren and Tam ] aaany Hah,s under the leadership Of Charles F. Murphy.
 The platform adopted includes a direct personal attack upon Governor OdeIl as well as a denunciation of the Republican administration, an endorse ment of the Democratic national ticket platform and resolutions and strong ly worded discussion of State and national issues from the Democratic point of view.
 The chief participants in the con- ferance which finally brought about unanimous action. were Senator Hiil former Lieutenant Governor Sheehan Chairman of the Executive Committee | of the National Committees; George | Foster Peabody. Treasurer of the Ma l tional Committee; Chairman Cord Mey' 1 CT of the State Committee. and w. s. Rodie. of the State Executive Commit tee; State Senator McCarren. Charles F, Murphy, State Senator V. J Dowl- ing. National Committeeman N. E.
 Mack. August Belmont and former United States Senator Edward Murphy
 Jr.. of Troy.
 A Compromise Candidate. | Justice Herrick was essentially a
 compromise candidate as between Ed. ward NJ. Grout of Brooklyn, Comptrol-
 Ter of Greater New York. and Edward
 M. Shepard also of Brooklyn. who practically drove each other from the | field. Mir. Shepard was finally drop.
 ped from consideration because of the
 opposition of Senator McCarren anC
 the Kings County organization; MT
 Grout because of the positive opposi | ton of Tammany Hall.
 Mir. Hill made a little speech tonight from the balcony of his room in the Grand Union Hotel. A crowd of dele gates gathered on the walks. serenading
 with a band and clamoring for his ap-
 pearance. He came out and said: | Fellow Democrats-I thank you for your kindness expressed in this greet ling and a desire to congratulate you
 upon the splendid work of the conven- ton ended today It means victory ir
 the State of New York and in my judg-
 ment is the forerunner of victory ir nation
