HEARST TONAME HALF TICKET
AND LEAVE TIE REST 10 A CON-
MITTEE ON VACANCIES.

Plan Practically Agreed Upon 20 Nominate
Candidates for Governor and Iieuten-
ant-GOVernOr Only-That Gives
Chance 70 Dtcker with the Democrats.
William r. Hearst, it was learned yes
terday from one NJ his managers. has solved
the problem which has been worrying him
and his friends for some weeks past. The
question which has been giving them 30
much anxiety was whether Mr.. Hearst, at
his convention on September II should nomi-
nate himself and lot the remainder OF the
ticket slide or whether he should name a full
State ticket.
In the effort to work out the answer Mr..
Hearst has been swayed by two considera-
tons. On the one hand IL has been pointed
out to him by one set Of his advisers that il
was his duty not only to nominate himself,
but also all other candidates On the State
ticket, and hat such a move would brighten
the regulars at Buffalo and bring about an
Endorsement OF the entire Hearst ticket.
On the other hand Mr.. Hearst has been told
that a better policy would be to name only
himself, because while the Democratic
State convention might be willing to indorse
his candidacy, it was out Of all reason to
0ADoCL tuNk JIG OOuNciitAOh WObiN aNSCpS
his whole list Of candidates.
MIR. Hearst has, il Is understood, inclined
to the adoption Of the latter course, but has
been prevented from coming out openly
for Il so far because Of the fear that he would
be charged with seeking the Endorsement
Of the Democratic State convention for
himself and leaving the aspirants of the
Independence League who are working to
- - A. es.lr,k 18th ksDo 30 ahtfk For fhAnn-
selves.
1t was learned yesterday that a sort Of a
compromise Is to be decided upon which
IL Is hoped by MIR. Hearst's managers will
please both factions. The plan is to have
the Hearst convention nominate Mr.. Hearst
himself and also a candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. After that has been done the
convention will appoint a committee to
fill vacancies.
That committee, according to the scheme
which has practically been decided upon,
will not DO anything until after the Demo-
cratic State convention on September rs.
BY means of this move it will be possible
for the Hearst people to make a dicker
with the Democrats which will allow the
convention TO name the rest OF the ticket,
providing Mr.. Hearst and his candidate for
observation-disclosures are indorsed, and
similarly in the event OF the Democratic
convention failing to indorse MIR. Hearst
an opening will be left for the Independence
League to fill up its ticket with members
OF the league.
Mr.. Hearst and MAJ Ihmsen, his cam
paign manager, got back yesterday from
their trip up the State, and it was soon after
their return that the plan outlined was ten
tatively agreed upon There will be a
meeting tomorrow at the Gilsey House of
tn executive committee of the leagues
State committee, and in order that the ar
rangement shall not appear as one coming
directly from Mr.. Hearst the executive
committee will be placed in the position of
recommending the compromise and will
be made to shoulder the responsibility for it.
There is nothing invidious in carrying
out such a scheme" one Of Mr.. Hearst's
principal advisers said yesterday. The
convention to be held next Tuesday is not a
convention such as is held by the regular
effect be merely a meeting at which the
wishes Of the members of the Independence
League will be voiced. Tn candidates on
our ticket will have to he nominated by
petition, so what does it matter after ex-
pressing our preference for Mr.. Hearst for
Governor and for some other indi vidual
for Lieutenant-Governo if it is left to a
committee to select the other candidates
a~d to prepare the p~etitions2"
