Saratoga. N. T.. Sept. 2i-out Of
situation which at times seemed al
most impossible Of amicable solution,
the leaders of the democratic party to-
day found way to unanimous action,
and at 1928 o'clock this afternoon the
state convention adjourned without day
after having nominated unanimously
the following ticket:
Governor-D. Cady Herrick Of Al
bany.
Lieutenant governor Francis Burton
Harrison Of New York
Secretary of state-John Palace, jr.,
Of Monroe,
comptroller-George Hall Of St. Law
renee.
state treasurer-A. A. Mclean Of
Newburgh.
Attorney-general-John cuneen Of
Erie.
State engineer and suryeyor-F. H.
Stryker Of Oneida.
Chief justice Of the court Of appeals
Edgar M. Cullen of Kings.
Associate justice of the court of APP
tpeals William r. Werner Of Monroe.
David B. Hill himself presented to
1.-The convention the name Of Supreme
Court Justice Daniel Cady Herrick, Of
Albany, and while 1t had been rumor-
ed for some time in the convention hall
among the waiting assemblage that
Justice HerrielS's name had been decid-
ed upon as a settlement or the conflict
Ing interests, the nomination by Mr.
Hill was received with great enthusi-
asn, and endorsed not only without a
dissenting vote but with cordial speeches
of support by represent of three
of the elements whose attitude had been
an important factor in the serious sit
uation which had formed the subject
of the conference. incidentally Senator
Hill himself was accorded q reception
which was little less than an ovation,
and almost every mention Of his name
thereafter was the signal for Increased
cheers and applause.
A notable feature of the convention
was the disappearance Of all open evil
dence Of the fractional warfare be-
tween the Kings county organization,
headed BY State Senator Patrick Me
Carrer, and Tammany Hall, under the
Leadership Of Charles f, Murphy. Rec
tognftion Of the harmonious state of af-
fairs which had followed the tense sit
luation Of the past two days was ex-
lpressed In nearly every speech made
to-day. specially those Of former SEN
Iator Hill, Representative w. Bourke
Cochran and State Senator Thomas r.
Grady, Of Tammany Hall; Luke Sta
pieton, OF the Kings county organtza-
tfon, and Major H. Fl. Rockwell, Of Ell
mira, who stood as the representative
of John b. stanchf1eld
| Justice Herrick was essentially a
lcompromise candidate as between Ed
ward M. Grout of Brooklyn, comptroller
OF Greater New York and Edward M.
lShepard, also of Brooklyn, who prac-
Itically drove each other FROM the field,
Mr.. Shepard being finally dropped from
consideration because of the opposition
Iof Senator McCarren and the Kings
county organization; Mr.. Grout because
lof the positive opposition Of Tanmany
Hail. There was mention also of As
tsemblynan George M. Palmer, Of scho-
iharie minority leader In the state as
sembly.
Judge Herrick might have been Sc
ilected earlier in the conferences but for
1.-THE bitter opposition Of State Commit
Iteeman Patrick p. McCabe, and his fell
\ lows In the Albany organization, by
which Justice Herrick has been for
drnany years regarded as the leader of
their opposition within the party in Al
Ebany. The Albany people were at last
loverborne, and when Justice Herrick' 1
! name was brought into the convention
lit was accompanied by the seni-official
announcement that he would have the
support Of the Albany county organiza-
Ition as we'll as Of that In Rensselaer,
county, about which for similar rea-
sons there had been some question.
| 1t Is we'll understood that former Sec
retary Of War Daniel s. Lamont would
have been the nominee Of the conven-
tion by acclamation had it not been for
4 his positive refusal to be q candidate
and his unqualified statement that II
nominated he would feel compelled I'd
