White Plains Only one delegate in three an
swered the roll call. The convention took ad-
vantage of several absentees by nominating
them for Office. The moral seemed to be that
it is dangerous to be away from Democratic
conventions when there is scarcity of candi-
dates
The convention was called to order at o'clock
by Chairman Frederick H Allen, and the
secretary. John ?. Taffe. read the roll call The
absence of q large number OF prominent Demo-
Gratis was conspicuous Among the missing
were Mayor Ffske, OF Mount Vernon, and
ex-Mayor Dillon. the odd war horse Of New
Rochelle. Dillon sent his son. young law stu
dent, of Fordham College. to represent him 1t
is said that these leaders are much more con-
cerned in regaining control Of their own cities
this fall than in the success of the county ticket,
and that they regard the county candidates as
only in the field for exercise and not to win.
Daniel P. Hayes. former president Of the Hor-
lem Democratic Club. who now lives in Mount
Pleasant. was chosen chairman of the conven-
ton. and tried to arouse enthusiasm by making
a speech an hour long. but the delegates ap-
peared to be in a lethargy from which they
we're only occasionally aroused. Ex-Alderrlan
Coyne. of Yonkers. was little more successful
in stirring up the applause He denounced the
Republican leaders as "grafters," but even Mr..
Coyne. who IS a humorist, didn't seem TO take
himself very seriously
When il came TO nominations the hopeless
ness of the Democratic cause became painfully
apparent The leaders had tried for weeks 70
have Isaac ". Turner of Bedford: Clarence s
MtCleiand. OF Mount vernon. or some other
Democrat Of prominence take the nomination
for Treasurer. but they had declined. Coroner
Albert Van Houten. OF YonkeTs, was nominated.
Mr. Van Houten made the race for Coroner two
years ago and was elected, owing TO his popu-
iaritv in Yonkers. but he is not regarded a
serious factor in the present race
The delegates also wanted DR.. Hyatt. Of White
Plains and Dr. Hunter. Of Mamaroneck. TO run
for Coroner. but they positively declined, and
the nominations were given 70 Dr.. 2 w. OBrien,
of Peekskiu. and Dr. Thomas Q. Taylor. Of
Larchmont DIR. Taylor was Assistant Register
of the Borough of Manhattan under Mayor Van
WICK Neither OF the candidates for Coroner
had been consulted. and II is reported that they
NAV decline.
After appointing a committee TO fill vacancies
the convention adjourned. There was TO have
been an Assembly convention for the ID Dis
trict but OF the last minute it was discovered
that the delegates from The Bronx had not been
notified. so il was postponed.

appointed to enforce the law and all ofIenderS
will be vigorously prosecuted.
The Board OF Village Trustees has petltloned

for this action the of rails in viola

streets in repair through which the trolley
