ALBANY. Sept. S.-That there ID q very
serious breach between many Of the fol-
lowers OF william J. Bryan ami tho Hearst
people was demonstrated here to-day whom
quite a gathering Of Mr.. BryAn's friends
turned up at the Hotel Ten Eyck and had .
meeting to look over tho field in this State.
Mr.. Hearst's personal representatives
here learned hat some Of Mr.. Bryan's friends
were In town and later on they became CON-
WINGED that Mr.. Bryan's friends intended
% speak out In meeting. It 10 no exaR-
Reration to say that this intimation raised
the Eoose quilts on all OF Mr.. Hearst's repre-
rentatives. There are many things, Bryan's
friends here said, in Mr.. Hearst's attitude
toward their ohisftain which had angerod
them and none more 90 than the report
handed out from the Hearst headquarters
in the Gilsey House; New York city, that
all the time Mr.. Bryan was in Europe he
vas tagged and nagged and spied upon
by ono OF Mr.. Hearst's spies. This, it was
declared to-day, was in thorough accord
WITH MI. UGMIbb y hGbuONA &Aho Dd0 gbAO
which his representatives have boon carry
ing out for two years and more.
Some Of Mr.. Bryan's friends who gathered
NJ the Ten Eyck to-day were Henry B.
Martin. secretary Of the American Anti
Trust League; W. B. Hunter, treasurer Of
the BRYAN Democratic League; Capt. Charles
Campbell, secretary Of the Municipal Owner
ship League and leader Of the M. o. Assem-
- H. AIk..- AAA N n GNhawlAa waN-
teeenting the jefferson Democratic League,
Of which ex-senator William p. Mitchell
Il the president.
These Organizes had q meeting at the
Ten Eyok, and later on they issued the
following statement, announcing at the
same time that it was the verdict OF the
conference:
1T developed during our discussion that
a breach existed between the Bryan Demoo-
racv and the Hearst -adherents, which was
intensified by the action Of Mr.. William
Randolph Hearst, his newspapers. his paid
agents and Independence League during
Mr.. Bryan's reception in New York city.
IL was felt that the only discord in the tri-
umphant Bryan proceedings was caused
by the Hearst camp. Especially was his
the case when Mr.. Hearst tried to start q
counter demonstration in Madison Square
Garden.
That Mr.. Hearst is persona non grata
10 the Bryan Democracy is being m
phasized in all parts OF the State. The old
time Bryan Democrats are coming to the
front in open hostility to the nomination
OF Mr.. Hearst for Governor by the Demo-
cratic convention. They profess to see
in the triumph Of Hearst the possible ove.-
throw Of Bryan for the Presidential nomi-
nation two years hence. They are main
tanning that the attitude OF he Hearst
Cabal for the last six months has been any
thing but friendly toward the Peerless
One These fears OF the Bryan Democrats
are more than justified by the attitude Of
Mr.. Hearst's political employees. who are
openly advocating and working for the
nomination of Mr.. Hearst for Governor
by the Democratic State convention ire
~spective Of cost and in spite of his refusal
TO accept the Democratic nomination for
Governor and his subsequent nomination
in 1908 for the Presidency.
The committee also was Of the opinion
that Mr.. Hearst in his Syracuse speech
threw overheard for the purpose Of catch
ing Republican votes old established Demo-
cratic principles which he had heretofore
advocated and practically declared him
self a Republican.
"Tt was unanimously resolved hat the
integrity and perpetuity Of the Democratic
party in the State Of New York necessitates
the nomination Of a Democratic candidate
for Governor like Congressman William
Sul1eT. whose candidacy would unite all OF
the variou factions in the organization and
whose past loyalty and devotion to Bryan
would emphasize the principles OF -Democ-
rscy advocated by William Jennings Bryan
Another Bryanite whose presence here
to-day attracted considerable attention
was Albert s. Dublin of New Jersey, who for
a number of years was the secretary OF the
Democratic national congress- committee
and a close personal and political friend
Of Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Dufin participated in
the conference which declared for Repre-
sentative Sulzer for Governor. 1t was
learned that last week Mr.. Dulin spent
considerable time with Mr.. Bryan at the
Hotel Victoria, and with Representative
James Griggs ofthe Democratic congress
committee. They urged Mr.. Bryan to
shelve his government ownership Of rail-
roads idea in his speeches in the present
fight for control Of the next House OF Rep
rsAentatives.
These Bryan people who were here to-day
said that they did not care to be misunder-
stood in their utterances and so they not
only formally dictated the statement which
Is printed above, wherein they speak OF
the breach between the Bryan people and
the Hearst people, and declared for Rep
resentative Sulzer. but individually they
said thRt il they said anything at all they
would dictate what they had to say. So
here is what Mr.. Dulin dictated for pub
LEGATION: i
Il am here to confer with the represen-
tatives OF these various Democratic or
CARNATIONS as 20 a united policy in the
present campaign. our purpose being 10
assist the nomination OF some
who il the embodiment OF the principles
enunciated by William jennings Bryan.
In looking over those whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the
nomination for Governor. it seems that
Congressman William Sulzer comes near
est to being the real candidate of the Bryan
Democracy Of the State. Mr.. Suffers
loyalty in 1904 and his career in Congress
designate him as a loyal democrat. always
in line with his party, and he would attract
all that element in the Democratic party
of this State which looks to Bryan as its
national leader.
1t developed during our discussion
here to-day that a breach exists between
the friends Of Mr.. Bryan and the Hearst
adherents. IL has been evident for six
months that Mr.. Hearst's managers intend
