WON'T STAND FOR PARTY HACKS
Ex-senator William F. Maekey. state organ
about Sheriff Smiths statement. said:
7 don't know whether could fuse or not
n would Depend on the character Of the local
candidates that the regulars select for local ana
state Offices. I am confident that Mr.. Hearst
and his friends would not stand for lot OF
perty hacks. am equally confident that II ths
regulars would select candidates OF the best type
a fusion could be arranged. We have not got To
the point OF naming local candidates yet AS 10
the delegates from Erie voting as unit against
Hearst In case he could not see his way clear TO
fuse on the local candidates. I want 20 say that
the unit rule cannot be enforced In the Erie
delegation Some Of those delegates come from
districts where the Hearst sentiment is over
whelmins They would not be able 20 continue
IN politics II they did not support Hearst"
Lewis Stuyvesant chanler. candidate OF the
Independence League for Lieutenant Governor
was one OF to-day's arrivals at the lroquois. He
Is a delegate 20 the convention Putnam County
having instructed for Mr.. Hearst When asked
If Hearst was going 10 make a deal with the Erie
delegates IN order 10 get their support. he said;
"An know about Mr. Hearsts attitude is what
he said in HIS Carnegie Hall speech. He said he
was against ell deals but a square deal"
The candidate from Putnam attracted con-
siderable attention. His friends greeted him as
Governor" and he seemed pleased over IL. The
Hearst men adjourned their judiciary conven-
ton last night until after the state convention.
The adjournment IS part OF the general plan 20
make decisive Elove along Independent lines
until the work OF the state convention Is over.

sULzER BOOM GROWING.
The boom for William suizer for Governor
struck this city tonight with a bang and
one OF the sources OF particular gossip. The
Congressman arrived at o'clock on the Lacka-
wanna Limited. He had about one hundred
supporters with him. ELL shouting for him and
wearing big badges with an excellent portrait OF
''the East Side Demosthenos" About nfty men
arrived from New York City. the others board
ing the train az Binghamton. Ernira. Bath and
Corning.
Mr. Sulzer will surely be placed I'm nomination,
Either d. Cady Herricl. who heading the state
ticket. ran ahead OF the Parker ticket two years
ago. or Charles T. Buiger OF oswego candidate
for Lieutenant Governor on the III fated Coler
ticket viii place Mr.. sulzer IN nomination. II
Is doubtful II ex-Justice Herrick will be IN this
city In time He has 20 appear before the Ap-
pellate Division al Saratoga tomorrow. and his
law case may detain him. II II does. Judge Bull
ger will take his place. The speech seconding
the nomination will go TO Suffers home county
and Congressman Charles A Towne will make

speeches has not been decided
The Sulzer boom is certainly growing and bids
fair 20 be OF entertaining size ana Importance
