leaders from the various parts Of the
State conferred with Mayor Mcclellan
on the trip from New York, and all
reported a strong slump in the Hearst
sentiment and an overwhelming de-
mand from the Democrats to nominate

1t is generally agreed that Hearst will

1t became evident that the upstate

as the man to lead the Hearst

COMMERCIAL GRAFT
Rev. Hubert Burgess in
Sermon Deprecates the
Mad Contest for Riches

Rev. Hubert F. Burgess, pastor of
the Second Congregational Church.
preached last evening on Possessed by
from Acts XVI. is. He spoke as fol-
lows:
Some men cannot gaze steadily at a
glittering object without falling into
a trance, during which they will do
almost anything they are told. A Cor
nell professor who went to lecture
on hypnotism to scoff remained to
crawl on his hands and knees under
q table in pursuit of imaginary $40
pieces at the suggestion of the hyp-
notist.
Many people are subject throughout
life to conditions which make them
slaves to Satan's bidding. Men gaze
at bits of glitterfng metal called dol
lars until they are made to believe
that money getting Is the chief end OF
man. The method of obtaining it be-
comes a secondary consideration. Some
boldly take the road as footpads. others
prefer housebreaking or stealing relief
supplies, but the great majority of
those under this spell resort to robbery
in the form OF graft. starvation wages,
watered stock, monopoly prices, adul-
teration, short weight or rake-off.
Men look upon the wine when 1t is
red, another glittering device of Satan
to weaken mems wills. Under its In
fiuence they often become demons of
murder. Yet establishments producing
this hypnotism, known as drunkenness,
are permitted on almost every corner.

WAITING To HEAR
FROM HIGGINS.
New York Republican Lead
ers Are Dependent Upon
Word From the Governor
POLITICIANS AT SEA

SARATOGA, N. Y. Sept 23.-The sit
uation is practically at standstill, as
the leaders and delegates gathered for
the Republican State Convention are all
frankly dependent upon the final word
from Governor Higgins as to whether
or not he will consent to stand for re-
nomination. That decision. it is said,
will be given by the Governor from
Albany tomorrow.
There is real uncertainty as to what
it will be, though most of the lead
ers who have been in his confidence
incline to the belief that Higgins will
refuse to be a candidate.
Meanwhile there has been active
speculation as to who will be chosen
for the head of the ticket II the Gov
ernor should decline. The names of
Lieutenant Governor Bruce. Charles E.
Hughes and Timothy l. Woodruff are
the most prominently mentioned.
While it is acknowledged that
Hughes would be a strong candidate.
it is freely asserted that the up
State politicians do not take kindly to
him. Perhaps Ii would be nearer the
truth to quote from one of the leaders
who remarked that mo one can tell
what Hughes would do If he were Gov
ernor; he might smash things, and
none of us can tell whether he himself
would not be among those hurt"
Another statement made tonight is
that the nomination of Hughes would
be regarded as practically a victory
for Odell as Hughes was his candidate
originally. 1t is said that Governor
Higgins friends are not favorable to
Hughes.
AS to Bruce it is intfmated that he
is not favorite in New York County,
but that he has strong following up
State. Until they have a definite basis
to work on, the men who will deter
mine the result will not get down to
the active work of slate-making.
1t is generally supposed that Lieu
tenant Governor Bruce will be tenn
porary chairman of the convention and
that the permanent chairman will be

which confronts the Republicans Of
