Chairman william J. Corners, after nearly
an all night session with Charles F. Murphy
Of Tammany On Wednesday night, sent out
early yesterday morning kilograms to the
nine members of the executive committee
Of the Democratic State committee calling
them 70 assemble at the Victoria Hotel
at noon to-day. No telegrem was sent to
Senator McCarren Of the Kings County
Democratic organization, Chairman Corners
in appointing his executive committee
having refused to recognize Senator McCar-
rem q organization.
The ostensible purpose of the gathering
at the Hotel Wet oria to-day, il was said,
was to keep track OF the count on Tuesday
next and afterward on the Democratic
State ticket.
There is another purpose for the meeting
to-day, according TO we'll informed Demo-
Gratis. They all aid that they hadn't a
doubt of the election of their State ticket
other than MIR. Hearst. They pointed out
that Lewis S~tuyvesant Chanler OF Duchess,
the only Hearst man elected, il he is elected,
will have 10 patronage at Albany. He will
cast the decisive vote When the Senate is
a tie and he will nave one vote as a member
OF the Canal Board. The other state ticket
candidates owe their nominations 20 Mr..
Murphy, Mr.. Corners, Joseph Cassidy OF
Queens and Patrick +. McCabe of Albany,
whose delegates at the Buffalo State con-
vention put them in nomination. Already
it was learned that trouble has broken out
over Mr.. Glynn, the candidate for Comp
troller. 1t was stated that, although still
i'll in Europe, he is rapidly mending and
that within a few days one of his personal
friends is to bring him home. Mr.. Glynn
before the Buffalo State convention cal led
to Mr.. McCsbe not to nominate him for
Comptroller or for any other place on the
State ticket, as his health would not permit
him to make a campaign. Now thai he
seems to be elected, however, he 10 in very
much better spirits, and n of his friends
at the Victoria Hotel last night said that
he was to be Comptroller. il seated, and that
Mr.. MoCabe could take a back seat.
Mr.. Glynn il cwner and editor Of the
Albany Times-C nion and his personal friend.
speaking for him, said: Il am to go to MIR.
Glynn and bring him home. He has been
very i'll since June last, but I believe he has
been more hipped than any thing else. II
his health continuest to improve he IL to make
a play to be Democratic leader Of Albany
county. Early in 1903 he will take from the
Albany ErGning journal the public print
ing, which is worth $40, 600 a year. and give
il to his own newspaper, the TiHes-l Mon.
This news has already got out and the
Albany Argus is very much nettled. MIR.
Glynn cannot take the pull lie printing from

h Democrats, through Mr.. Corners,
Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Cassidy and Mr.. McCabe,
have already, il was said at the Victoria
Hotel last night, begun to parcel out the
patronage of the various State departments
at Albany. 1t was positively stated that
all deputies are to be turned adrift. Frank
ID. Cole, Republican chairman Of Greene
county, is Deputy Secretary OF State, and
Horace G. Tenant, Republican chairman
OF Scoharie. is second deputy and chief
clerk, and both are to be removed. All
other places in the State departments not
protected by civil service laws are also to
be taken by the Democrats. In the Comp
troller's Office William G.. Wilson, Republic
can leader of the Twenty-seventh Assembly
district in New FORK county. is deputy, and
he is to give place to a Democrat, and 80.
also, is Willis +. MerTiman, second deputy.
In the State Treasurer's Office Barnett Fl.
Davis of Wayne county, deputy treasurer,
is to give place to a Democrat, and in the
Attorney-General's Office there IL TO be a
clean sweep. James G.. Graham of New
burgh, who was Gov. Odell's private secre-
tary; Horace Mcclure, second deputy At
torney-General the six additional Deputy

deputies are also to he retired and their
places given to Democrats, and the New
YORK CITY bureau OF the t~borney-beneral y
office, headed by Alexander L. Mason, Is to
be turned over 10 the Democrats.
In the State Engineer and Surveyors
Office all deputies and Others not protected
by the civil service law and all division
and resident engineers are TO be retired
and their posts given to Democrats. just
where Senator McCarren is to come in on
the State patronage did not appear last
night, although there wa a good deal of
gossip concerning Mr.. McCarren, whose
K.--- .As-L I--L
tered Mr.. Hearst. supported the rest Of the
Democratic State ticket.
The Democrats at the Victoria Hotel
last night, while outwardly friendly to
Mr.. Hearst, did not appear to re gard him
as a factor in patronage matters should the
Democratic State nominees be seated at
Albany. They said that he had conducted
a purely personal canvass and that in not
a single speech had he mentioned the
names OF the candidates for Secretary OF
State, Comptroller, Treasurer, Attorney
General and State Engineer AMI Surveyor
Also they said that the Democratic State
ticket had had a heavy load to carry in
Mr.. Hearst and that as soon az r. Hearst
learned Of his defeat he made preparations
to go first to San Francisco and then to
Europe, taking no interest whatever in
the fate Of his associates on the ticket or
the possibilities Of "A tussle with the Re-
publicans over the narrow majorities.
These Democratic critics contrasted Mr..
Hearst's attitude OF the last three lays
with his attitude a year ago, when there
was a mighty close vote for Mayor be-
tween himself and Mr.. Mcclellan. mr..
Hearst was all activity then, . said a nota-
Bile Democrat at the Victoria, "he took a
personal interest at that time. He issued
scores of interviews in his own behalf .
He started legal proceedings in his own,
behalf. But now that he has been defeated
beyond question and we may have trouble
with the Republicans he trots of and shows
no interest In the contest whatever. Neither
do Mr.. Hearst's newspapers. They rave

ing about women's hats, while we are at
work to protect the vote which we believe
has been cast for our Democratic State
ticket
