Read IL, read it'' they

shouted.
The deleRates evidently feared some
funny worG on the part Of the Hearst leaders,
and some OF them called out. that they
didn't like the way Ihmsen had introduces
his resolution. The conven ton was IN an
uproar when Henry f.. Cochran OF King
climbed upon the platform. He also mad
a resolution to introduce and was recognized
by Chairman Seabury. This was the Coch'
ran resolution.
-RssOIrsd. That the communication trans
mitted by the State committee he referred

the sense OF this convention that II nomi-
nate a full State ticket and that the COM
mntee on platform be requested to con-
slider the qualifications of candidates and
report to this convention the names OF

With the reading OF this resolution almost
every delegate in the hall jumped to his
feet and shouted his, approval, Judge Sea
bury whacked with all his might, but the
sound Of hts gavei vas lost in the uproar,
The rumpvs lasbed for almost five minutes
and vas the biggest rough house Of the
giving the Cochran motion the right Of
way, put il, and il was carried with a whoop.
There were a few protesting votes, but
they made no stir.
SUSPICIOUS OF ERrcKERY.
Th adoption Of the Cochran resolution
put the convention squarely or record
for a full ticket, and the radicals cheered
over their complete victory. They hadn't
ended their celebration when Delegate
Downing Of the New York county dele
CATION was on his feet with a motion to adj
journ until 8 o'clock tonight. At this
there was another uprising Of delegates
and any number OF hisses and catcalls.
Judge Seabury seemed utterly unable TO
control the disorderly delegates. The con-
vention was in an uproar and the delegates
didn't know what they wanted to do. One
picious Of trickery and didn't intend to let
even a motion for adjournment go I'M
challenged. The racket was still going
full blast when Henry Clay Peters Of
Brooklyn jumped upon the platform.
We have demonstrated " said Mr.. Peters,
that this is an independent convention;
now let us demonstrate tha II is an intelli-
gent convention. We are now assured
Of a full ticket from top to bottom, will
William Randolph Hearst at the head"
all parts of the hall. The delegates called
on him TO sit down. They had had enough
OF speeches and they demanded action.
Peters ended by moving that the con-
Yentlon adjourn until 8 O'Clock tonight.
This was again met with a chorus of objec-
tons. IN delegates were clearly opposed
TO so long an adjournment. Chairman
Seabury had to pound several minutes
before he got a semblance OF order.
No business will be transacted until
you come TO order, declared the chairman.
Judge Seabury tried to put the question
but his voice was drowned. The rank
n file OF the delegates suspected that
the leaders wanted the long delay 20 that
they could frame up a deal with the Demo-
Gratis. To calm them the chairman had
the Cochran resolution read once more
and after the delegates understood tn at
they we've masters Of the situation they
quoted down.
Before the motion to adjourn was put
to the convention a delegate from Kings
county jumped onto the platform.
Now, say, boys!" he shouted, @be nice,
be decent. lou are talking about gag
rule and you o let a mar talk. For
Gods sake, let me talk! Are you in favor
OF an eight hour lawl I've been on this here
job, for twenty-four hours. Let's go hons
and get some sleep. These people have an
Democrats to give US here tomorrow night.
They Will do the right thing by us. You
don't think hmsen is going to run away,
do you? Seabury will be here and we'll
get the report when We meet again"
This speech carried the motion to adj
journ, and the convention will reassemble
at $ O'Clock tonight.
CANDIDATES BOB UP. =
Candidates for Offices on the straight
ticket did some tall hustling and log rolling
yesterday afternoon and last night at
Carnegie Hall and at the Gilsey House.
Since the radicals got out Of hand and made
1t certain that others would rave a chance
for plums besides Mr.. Hearst, candidates
bobbed up on every side, nearly every
delegation producing at least one.
Reuben X. Lyon, a heavyweight In the
new party, was much in favor with the
New York city delegates. A bunch from
the Fifth Assembly district proposed Lyon
Tor ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS John Ford for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and the present Assem-
blyman from the Fifth! Thomas J. Long,
a VI. D. l.. man. for Comptroller. There
was much shouting for these three by the
New Workers.
Clarence J. Shearn, who has requested
Hearst and Ihmsen to have him nominated
for AttOrney-General, was strong with
many OF the delegates, but there was a story
going the rounds of the convention hall
that Mr.. Shearn would be shelved and have
a chance at a Supreme Court Judgeship
nomination at the coming county oonven-
ton His friends denied that and said he
certainly would be the candidate for Attor-
n~ey-General.
The Erie delegation put forward the
name Of A. j. Elias for Comptroller. Mr..
Elias is a wealthy Lmberman of Buffalo,
a Democrat formerly. Onondaga advanced
the claims Of Isaac Rosenbloom for Comp
trOller.
One Of the liveliest booms that got going
in the evening was Lewis Stuyvesant Chan
ler's Of Duchess. Mr.. ChanIer was an
observed and imposing figure among the
Duchess folk, and his big voice added To
the noise Duchess delegates went about
boosting Chanler for second place on the
ticket and telling what a strong card he
would be as candidate.
Charles J. Hackett was one OF the busiest
OF the budding candidates. He turned a
trick on the rest Of them by getting a lot of
banners and placards and posting them
around the convention hall. Charles j.
Hackett, candidate for the nomination for
Secretary OF State. Headquarters at the
Hotel Grenoble."
The Grand Master Of the State Grange
Association, George A. Fuller, was mem
toned by many as a likely man for the
second place on the ticket. Mr.. Fuller, il
was said, has already declined to be honored.
For State Treasurer, &. H. Aue of Erie
was doomed by the Buffalo delegates
They insisted hat he had more than a
chance. Troy delegates put forward the
name Of Thomas j. Fagin for Attorney
General.
Others who got prominent mentor among
the delegates were Daniel Gray Of Syracuse,
who would like to be nominated for Secre-
tary of State, and William +. Mackey Of
Erie, who was talked OF for Lieutenant
Governor.
II the powers t1at be-or were before
ve~sterday-have selected a state and have
any idea Of steering il through, they may
find themselves up against IL in the present
temper OF the delegates. The enthusiasm
for Hearst hasn't slackened any, but the
