HubbeIl Makes Violent Attack on
Otero and Andrews.

Otero ana AnoreWS.
After the convention was called t
order prayer was offered by Rev. "
M. Marsh, Chairman Hubbell Gale
the convention to order and made
violent attack ON Governor Otero an
Senator w. H. Andrews. The CONVEX
tion received this with many hisse
and cries down, down" "seat him,
"shut him up" ETC., etc. He also mad
strong harrangue for Delegate B. S
Rodey and made bitter and vindicativ'
threats against those who dared to op
pose him. He swore that he would no
again accept the craftsmanship HI
expected stampede Of his support
ers, but as they were outnumbered two
against to one for him, his expecta
tions failed to materialize and were
met byloud and overwhelming cries for
"Andrews, Andrews" Delegate Greer
from Bernalillo County, who was in
the galleries where there were large
crowds Of hired claquers, boomers and
buns, endeavored to stampede the con.
vention for Rodey. He did not sue.
coed, however.
Andrews Gaining Steadily.
The city is very lively today and
was SO yesterday. Every county in the
Territory is represented here by dele
gates, except Eddy. Excitement ran
high at times and the Hubbell support
ers were loud and vociferous in their
claims that they had the administra-
ton beaten. The facts. however, are
otherwise. At three o'clock this after
noon the Andrews enthusiasts were
figuring 118 votes out Of possible
16S, this is fully two-thirds and more.
The chances are that the nomina-
ton for delegate will be made tonight,
although the Hubbell supporters will
do their utmost tokeep it off until in the
morning as between sunset and sun
rise is a better time ''for tricks that
are vain and ways that are dark. q Ia
Hubbell'' than between sunrise and
sunset. Even were this to be the case
and the convention should not make
the nomination for delegate until to-
morrow it is not believed that Chair
man Hubbell can change the tide of
affairs although the convention and its
members are very well and friendly
disposed towards Delegate B. s..
Rodey; in fact, he has many warm and
enthusiastic friends among the dele
gates who would like to see him nom
mated. His hard and energetic work
and good services to the party are well
understood and appreciated and there
is not the least bit Of i'll feeling to-
wards him, quite the reverse. Never
theless it looks as If Senator w. H.
Andrews Of Bernalillo will be the win
ming dark horse In this race, despite
some very uncomplimentary reports
concerning the action of certain sup
porters Of Chairman Hubbell in at
tempted deals with delegates against
the Andrews nomination.
5ursum Delegation Seated.
The Republican Territorial Central
Committee met this morning and had
a spirited session which lasted all the

ten additional votes to the Andrews
contingent, making total OF 118 at
this writing. This vote stood In the

Bursum delegation and 10 for the con-
testants. Every county except Eddy
