SARATOGA, Sept 9a-Ths Republican
State convention nominated Charles E.
Hughes OF New York for Governor atIl2:Se
o'clockrhis afternoon. The vote Wa staken
bv acclamation, and when the roar OF
.Aves' swept over the convention every
man, woman and child within the big
oonveution hall arose and cheered and
cbeered andlcheweAaaGAin. No other nomi-
nee was presenssa apon the Soor Of the
convention.
Early this morning the leaders OF the
raSy got together and came to an agree
msut. The friends Of Black. Bruce. Bracket
andS Woodruff conceded that Mr.. Hughes
was. the strongest man available for the
nomination and decided to sink their per-
sonaa differences and go upon the v
hOntnoor prepared TO send b name Of Mr.
Hughes through with a whoop.
Td Herbsrt T.. Parsons. president Of the
Republican county committee Of New York,
more thanrto any other one man the nomi-
nation OF Mr.. Hughes IL due. From the
moment when Gov. Higgins made IL plain
thaAhe would not stand for denomination
Mr.. Parsons has been working day and
nigtk, early and late, for the nomination
Of Mr.. Hughes. Every possible influence,
hasbeen brought to,besr upon him by the
friends, first Of Mr. Bruce and second ,of
Mr.. Black. but the Parsons backbone de
chned to wabble. A'vast majority of'the
delegates from New York city were UNI
shakingly'Ioyal to their chairman. and each
Of these contributed his share to the result.
While no definite statement upon this
point can he attributed to any OF the leaders,
It Ia known that word from President Roose-
welt vastly aided Mr.. Parsons in bringing
about the nomination Of Mr.. Hughes. This
was followed by the statement, issued
early this morning by Gov. Higgins through
his secretary here, in which the Chief Execu-
tive OF the State declared that IL was false
that he opposed the nomination Of Mr..
Hughes or had been working against ii in
any way.
1t was only a few minutes after 0 O'Clock
when the word few through the lobbEes
Of the United States Hotel that the leaders
OF the party had agreed upon Hu1hesJand
that his name would be the only n pre-
sented upon the floor OF the o~onSention
ball And so it proved.
