SARATOGA, Sept. 1s-All told there are
200 Democrats here, some delegates. but
most of them visitors, who are to participate
in the Democratic State convention on
Tuesday. The majority of these Demo-
Gratis arrived to-day. 1t is a feature with
the Democrats to patronize tho Grand
Union Hotel, while the Republicans pitch
their tents at the United States. Some Of
the arrivals to-day include Cord Meyer

national committeeman for the State; John
n. Carlisle, secretary of the State committee;
John A. Mason, the efficient clerk of that
committee; George M. Palmer of Schoharie,
Henry Young of Brooklyn and Charles N.
Bulger of Oswego. Mr.. Bulger stopped
over in Albany and had chat with David
b. Hill, at which little or nothing occurred,
according to Mr.. Bulger.
The talk here tonight is that, inasmuoh
as William B. Hornblower Of New York
has been selected to be temporary chair
man Of the convention, W. Caryl Ely OF
Niagara Falls should be required to act as
permanent chairman. Many Of Mr.. Ely's
friends have believed that he should be
named for Governor, and with these aspira-
tons uppermost they said that it was
doubtful if Mr. Ely would accept the place
OF permanent chairman.
KINGS COUNTY NOT A UNIT FOR CIRCUIT.
The Circuit boomers, led by Mr. Young,
believe firmly that Comptroller circuit Is
to be the candidate of the convention for
Governor. Senator MoCarren OF Kings,
it was added, is to stand steadfastly by
Mr.. Grout, although fifteen Of the sixty
three delegates from Kings county are OPP
posed to the nomination Of Mr.. Grout.
Some of these fifteen delegates are al
ready here, and they said they would not
enter a caucus of the Kings county delega-
ton which would force them to act under
the unit rule. From time immsmorial Kings
county has voted as a unit In the State
conventions, just as the Tannany dele
cation has But the delegates led by
William A. Doyle declare that the situation
Is different this year and that the Kings
county delegation is divided In Its choice
Of candidate for Governor. They went
on to say that the unit rule ia q custom and
not principle in party discipline, and 10
not binding on them, and that the oonven-
ton could not force them to ACT az q unit
with their brethren in Kings+county II they
finally decided not to enter the CAUCUS Of
that delegation.
Some OF the delegates here said that

authorized to say whether, Il Mr., circuit
was nominated for Governor, he, would
resign his place as Comptroller Of ths city
Of New York at any time.
OTHER CANDIDATES NAMED.
Some delegates said that they would
like to have Cord Meyer nominated for
Governor. Other delegates said that the
ticket to be nominated hero would without
doubt be John B. Stanchfeld of Elmira for
Governor and Representative Francis Bur-
ton Harrison Of the Fifteenth New York
city district for Lieutenant Governor. Still

that George M. Palmer OF Schoharie would
be nominated for Governor and Randolph

The Erie county delegation, headed by
Norman E. Mack and William j. Connors,
are talking up strong tonight for the nomi-
nation of Attorney General John Cunneen
as Associate Judge Of the Court Of Appeals.
1t was learned, though. that ex-United
States Senator Edward Murphy, Jr., and
William +. Sheehan are very partial to the
nomination Of Chief Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen

and file OF the Democratic party In the State
for Jeromes nomination for Governor

throttled demand OF the rank and Ale Of the
Republican party for the nomination OF
Root for Governor.
There is no mistake whatever about the
Of the views Of the Demo-
cratic delegates here tonight. They went
on to say that jerome was a poor man and

nate a man who could bring to the CAM
paign fund anywhere from $500 900 upward.
Yet for all that jerome, according to this
testimony, in his personality and strength
