Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 17-Upstate
counties continued today to break away
from the Hearst machine. falling of In
the Hearst sentiment is reported from all
over the state, and new delegates are being
Instructed In a majority Of the counties to
oppose Hearst at the Buffalo convention.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Erie
county committee recently Endorsed Hearst
for governor Edward E. Coatsworth, chair
man Of the committee, is out with a state
ment that he cannot swallow the Independ.
ence League ticket.
The democracy cannot put republicans
in nomination" said Mr. Coatsworth- ut
must nominate its own ticket The nominal
ton Of Hearst might be possible after the
league had chosen him. but when It .alks
Of giving us a full ticket We simply cannot
stand for it."
Will Send Unrestricted Delegates.
Contrary to the expectations Of the Hearst
crowd, Albany county will send an unin-
structed delegation to the democratic state
convention. Hearst has tried hard to cap
ture Albany county. and his unsuccessful
attempt has put the whole organization i'm
bad humor. According to an Albany
county man. it means that that county will
throw Hearst down hard. While the county
organization has expressed no preference
LOT governor, 1t Is no secret that its repre-
sentatives will be conservative In their ten
dency and will follow those lines In their
support of a candidate.
The fact that the nine delegates repre-
senting Albany county will be the first to
vote on the roll call for candidates for gov
ernor, and thus occupy a most conspicu-
Gus position in the convention has nerved
the Hearst men to unwonted efforts to an
mex the country for its moral effect IL for
nothing else. Hearst agents have been ex-
tremely active all over the county but IL is
foregone conclusion that they will not
even arouse an expression of opinion at the
assembly district conventions The local
leaders say that Jerome is popular with the
Albany county democrats. and II is likely
that the delegation will cast a straight vote
for him.
Hearst Losing Ground
The Hearst supporters are also losing
ground in Onondaga county Only few
days ago former Mayor James X. Mcclure
OF Syracuse, who is directing the fight
against the democratic organization, claim
ed everything in sight. Now it Is an even
chance that the delegation will 60 TO tha
convention unfnstructed. -f@
McGuire has Hearst tickets for all wards
and towns, but their strength is NOT, a,;-s
merically great. M 2: Haven. state COM
mitteeman, said today that the executive {
committee had designated the time and
place for the three assembly district con-
ventions, and that while it was doubtful IL
IiiC vi Sdiuzdtiou WOulQ name tickets In all
wards. it was altogether likely that the
delegates to the state convention would be
uninstructed.
A riot developed at Hearst meeting in
Arion Hall, Brooklyn, last night. The meet
Ing started as debate between Otto
Woke and Conrad Hasenf1ug, rivals for the
democratic leadership Of the nineteenth as
sembly district, Brooklyn. Hasenfiug did
not show up and a dozen or more followers
of each candidate began an interchange OF,
personalities. Former Representative Rob-
ert Baker brought things to a focus by de-
claring that he was in favor Of Hearst. The
police reserves were called and the meeting
broke up in disorder. II
