 Springfield, H., June 1.-The demo- cratic state convention to-day nominat- ed Lawrence B. Stringer of Lincoln for governor and instructed the delegates to the St. Louis convention to vote as a unit for William R. Hearst for the pres- idential nomination. The convention was controlled by John T. Hopkins, for mer mayor of Chicago and now chair man of the state central committee. MT. Hearst's campaign managers, who att tempted to ride into power by the aid of his name, received no consideration whatever from the convention. The Harrison party, which came solely from Chicago, and was pledged to the supp port of Congressman James R. Will Hams, was routed completely. Mayor Carter H. Harrison was unseated as delegate and took a train for home without going near the convention. Both his faction and the Hearst party were as nothing compared to the strength and skilful management of the convention exhibited by Hopkins.
 Frank J. Quinn of Peoria presided over the convention both as temporary and permanent chairman.
 The report of the committee on cre- dentials. endorsing MT. Hopkins action and seating his. delegates was put through upder the gavel, in spite of vig- orous protests from adherents of Hearst and Harrison.
 Following this Judge William Prem tiss of Chicago, supporter of Hearst, took the platform and withdrew as candidate for governor. He declared that he desired nothing from the con represent the democracy of Illinois. William c. Crolius of Joliet followed in a brief speech endorsing the stand taken by Judge Prentiss, and also with drew his name.
 Clayton E. Crafts of Chicago read the report of the committee on resolutions. He was frequently interrupted by hoots and jeers, and insinuating questions ment of MT. Hearst was not made a were hurled at him in profusion. The resolution providing for the en- dorsement of Mir Hearst was not made part of the report of the com n1ittee on resolutions. but was submit- ted to the convention as a separate matter. The original resolution proyid- | ed practically that the Illinois delega- ton should vote for Heart until it was convenient to vote for somebody else
 A substitute offered by Clarence S. Darrow, pledging the delegates to Hearst as long as his name was before the convention was then adopted by vote of 936 to 395.
