BURPALO, Sept. 24-The Democratic State
committee met at o O'Clock tonight. When
all hands had got into the meeting it waa
quickly decided not to fight on the tenn
porary chairman Of the convention and
Mr.. Nixon was chosen unanimously.
The contests were hen taken up, beginy
ming with ChautauQua, which involved tho
seats OF three delegates. Senator Grady
and Representative Cockran spoke for the
Hearst end and Senator MCCarren for the
anti Hearstites.
In the discussion Senator Grady said.
IF Hearst will run on our platform then I
Am for Hearst" This led to the statement
that the platform to be adopted by this
convention will be one upon which Mr..
Hearst cannot with consistency stand.
George F. Scannell represented Dan Finn,
7. C 7. Grain spoke for Big Tim Sullivan and
Representative Cochran had Francis Burton
Harrison's proxy.
The Chautauqua contest was not settled
az to-night's meeting. When the wrsngling
over the contest was at white heat John
Kennedy, one Of Norman E. Mack's stabs
committeeman, sprang q resolution on the
committee declaring that all contests should
60 over and 10 settled by the committee
on credentials, TO DO selected by the dele
gates in the convention. Mr.. Kennedy's
resolution was quickly and unanimously
adopted. Had this not been done the
committee would have been In session
until sunrise tomorrow morning.
The Kennedy resolution was looked upon
as an armed truce between the Murphy and
the antI-Murphy forces in the COMMITTEES.
Mr.. Murphy after the meeting began to talk
Hearst again, but all are now eagerly await
ing the platform to be submitted to the
convention on Wednesday by the COMMITTEES
on resolutions.

TIL FIGHT ron CONTROL or STATE COM
MTTEE
Little or no serious consideration was
given to-day to the various aspirants for
the Democratic nomination for Governor
in the convention which Is to begin ito
first session at noon tomorrow. All the
talk from sunrise to sunset and long
after nightfall was as TO which faction
could control a m majority Of the menu
bers Of the Democratic State commit
tee. Charles F. Murphy Of Tammany has
made every effort known to a politician OF
his intellectuals to capture control Of tho
State committee and name Lewis Nixon, q
Hearst man, for temporary chairman OF tbs
convention. Control OF the temporary or
ganization OF the convention should carry
with II control Of the permanent. or nominate
ing. organization. It should also carry with
il the naming Of the committees on Gre
dentials and platform. Control OF the State
COMMITTEES would carry with it the power

Mr.. Murphy wants to name william J..
