LEAGUE NOMINEES OUT.
DEAL WITH Mr.. MURPHY.
Independence Men Adopt Buffalo
Tfcket-May Lose Emblem.

After wrestling Friday night ana most or the
Cay yesterday with the problem Of how TO back
down gracsfnuy from the stand they took in NOM
spati1g conplste state nolzet, the executive com
Dairtss OF she rnoependence League last night ac-
reptee the designations OF the who held league
Nominations exclusively ana nominated IN their
places the candidates OF the regular Democratic
convention. They declared that this ticket would
be run n an independent column. This not
coae until after Representatives OF the committee
had conferred with representatives OF Charles r.
7rurp1y end obtained his approval OF the step lie
did favor it at first. but, II is said was per-
suaded that there q large number Of the
sdherents OF the league who would not vote FOR
the ticket under the star. and as there was 70 be
fusion the local well as the state Offices. the
Democratic and Independence League columns
wolld be the same and votes under either emblem
would not affect the result.
There is now doubt that Hearst and Murphy
have a thorough understanding on all the local
nominations. The boss Of Tamnany Hall has
driven a sharp bargain with Hearst but as the
satters chief aim is 10 land himself IN the Gov
ernor's chair, ne is not worrying so n1uch now
about the local ofices he did before the Demo-
cyatic convention.

sYendence League considers itself the rghuuI sue
