though there might not be solitary honest
reason for objecting 10 his presence there. The
convention saw the force Of the argument and
refused TO adopt the judges resolution. The &C

II VIII prevent honestly elected delegates from
participating in The convention"
The anti-Hesrst men late last night called a
conference OF the anti-Hearst delegates and Of
the Albany conference people at the Trubee
Eotel in Delaware avenue az 10 a. m. to-day.
il is the expectation that by that time the anti
Hearst men win have united man for
the Governorship in opposition TO Hearst
The state committee is evenly divided be-
tween factions-so evenly divided that Mr..
Murphy, after starting a fight last night did net
care 10 carry il 10 a finish. Murphy has Patrick
Z. McCabe the Albany leader. with him Nc
Cabe is 8 candidate for the state committee
Craftsmanship. He tells his friends that he is
not pledged TO Hearst.
state Chairman Cord Meyer was asked to-
night why Mr.. Nixon's election 70 the temporary
Craftsmanship was mot or,nosed
We HAD 10 have some one. and Mr.. Nixon is
regarded fair man" said Meyer
Have you a candidate with whom to oppose
Mr.. Hearst Tomorrow" was asked. NO. but
We viii have by the time the roll is called"
said The state chairman
The state committee adopted compromise
resolution providing that where there are con-
tests the names OF the delegates in contested
districts shall not go upon the convention roll
until disposed Of by the committee on creden-
tails which is not appointed until after the
convention organizes. This leaves the situation
80 that paper contest may be brought IN every
district. thus automatically blotting Of exist
ence the entire convention and making II posi-
bic TO prevent the holding OF the convention at
all. While the contests are pending can
tell who viii control the committee on creden-
tials
In the general befuddled movement there is a
most universal longing for an intelligent despot
like David B. Hill. who is IN retirement at VOL
ferris Roost. Without a good head like that Of
David BIS ii is idle 70 conjecture what will be-
Of the captainless crew al the convention
Tomorrow.
