Mr. Cochran. He looked positively detected to-
night when asked about the outlook.
1T guess I might as well take an early train
home" said Mr.. Ridder. THE sentiment for
Hearst seems to be very strong and I do not
that II is diminishing any. The trouble with
the anti-Hearst men is that they have waited
too long before opposing Hearst. They let him
go all around the state and pick ZIP the delegates
IN the various counties Now that he has them
there is very poor prospect OF getting them
away from him. The opposition is not united
on any candidate. and It locks 10 me as Il
Hearst going to win
The anti-Hearst men were surprised after
agreeing TO the choice of Mr.. Nixon as tenn
poraTy chairman TO learn that he IS in favor or
Hearst for Governor. Many Of them had been
assured that he was anti-Hearst. The Murphy
were in high feather last night over the
smooth way In which they had tricked the
ant-Hearst men into supporting Mr.. Murphys
candidate
Big Tim" Sullivan got In with the other Sui
ivans over the Erie at Q o'clock. He went at
TO the Iroquois and met Senator McCarren.
The two were soon in earnest consultation seen
after their meeting the corridors hummed with
excitement over a rumor that the Murphy and
Sullivan had agreed 20 swing into line for
Justice Gaynor When Mr.. Murphy was asked
about It he assured his friends that there was
nothing In the rumor.
The Murphy men are hard at work tonight
trying get Norman E. Mack and the state
committeeman from Erie TO swing around to
Hearst The Erie men VIII not do II until
they have an agreement with Hearst that the
Independence League viii not put q local ticket
in the field Sheriff Smith Of Erie said to-
night after a conference with Mr.. Murphy that
the latter was not committed to Hearst.
1T won't be Hearst for Governor" said tia
Sheriff
City Chamberlain Keenan,. Maurice Feather
son. Borough President Ahearn and City Court
Judge Joseph L Green reached town al the same
time, and were in the Iroquois dining room TO-
gether al o'clock. Senator Grady, ". Bourke
Cochran, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler and William
Astor Chanler were in the dining room at the
same time. Chamberlain Keenan, seemed to be
the favortte. Every wanted TO shake hands
with him He was ohsffed considerably for de-
claring for Mr.. Jerome for Governor but nothing
that the old man does hurts him in the estima-
ton Of good Tammany men.
LITTLE DISCUSSION ON TRAIN.
Ex-Conmissioner Feetherson said that there
had been little discussion OF candidates coming
up on the train, the delegates spending their time
mostly in playing cards and enjoying the seen
cry.
Just before the assembling OF the State Com
Inittee ex-Borough President Joseph Cassidy
said that the state committee would not tenn
p6rarfiy add the names Of the Cassidy men TO
the convention roll, but would wait until the
committee credentials had passed on the con
test. The only contested names to be added to
the roll before the convention assemblies will be
the cowan delegates from the seth District. Mr.
Murphy is determined that Nagles men shall
not be recognized and II looks as If he would
have his way.
William J. Corners, the Hearst boomer in Erie
County. said tonight that Hearst would have
about 175 votes in the convention without count
ing Tammany's lob votes. In this estimate he
allowed Hearst 10 votes in Erie County. I'm
less there is change in the Erie County
delegation Hearst will get not more than
votes OF the 27. But things seem TO be GO
ing for Hearst rather than against him. the esti-
mate put out by "Ffnkey' is receiving attention
There will be 400 delegates in the convention
thus making 226 votes necessary to nominate
If Hearst has IFS and gets the Tammany delega-
tion he will have ESQ votes or 81 more than is
necessary 10 insure his nomination. The Con-
table is follows,
