Grady without his own vote is elected
shouted Grady from the seat he had taken at
the table when the vote was announced as
The Hearst men let out a yell. So did the
Tammany men. Mr.. mi danced up
and down with joy at the way he had beaten
Sheehan and McCarren.
Messengers rushed upstairs 70 tell Murphy
1t was all right and that the Tammany dis
tricts had held fast to Hearst,
McCarren and Sheehan Of course, could
not give up the fight then. They were
disappointed at the vote. At noon they
thought they would have the committee
and told many persons 40. When the vote
was announced Mr.. Sheehan Immediately
moved that It be verified by another call OF
the roll.
-Oh. no, no, no" yelled Grady, banging
the table with his cane so that Mr.. Sheehan's
voice could not be heard. He kept this up
until a Tammany man moved that the con-
tests be taken up alphabetically by counties.
Mr.. Sheehan said that IL q always been
the custom to take them up by Senate dis
tricts. IF you're going to violate good
Democratic custom and precedent in still
another instance" he said to Grady, Il beg
OF you to do IL in the convention and not in a
subordinate part Of it,
Grady called for a vote and announced
that the vote had been to take 1t up by
counties.
This made the contests come in the fol-
lowing order:
Chautauqua. Essex. Jefferson (two dis
%tricts), Monroe, Nassau, New York five
districts), Oneida, Onondaga 1.-TWO districts),
Queens -four districts), Rensselaer,, Seneca,
Ulster 1.-TWO districts), Wayne.
After this point had been decided the CON-
mittee adjourned until 8 o'clock this evening.
n TEE CONTESTS.
When the committee reconvened to hear
the contests, Senator Grady announced
that both sets OF delegates in each contest
would be regarded in the same light, that
il, as claimants. He cautioned the orators
not to speak of either side as contestants.
a. no delegates were seated, even on the
temporary roll.
The contest in the Second district OF
Chautauqua was taken up first. Each sid
got twenty minutes to present its case. II
was decided to vote in executive session
after the contestants had all been heard.
This meant that II would he long after
midnight before the meeting would be over.
| The Hearst side spoke first In the Chau-
tauqua case. Their case as presented was
similar to that Of most Of the districts. The
Hearst men declared that their delegates
had not been recognized In the district con-
vention and that they represented forty
seven out OF the seventy-three delegates
lawfully elected. The other side denied
all Of these allegations.
The Essex county contest was withdrawn.
No attempt will be made to unseat the
delegates who are anti-Hearst. The Hearst
people couldn't think Of any argument TO
make on this case. The two contests in
the Jefferson districts brought up State
/ Committeeman John N. Carlisle. In both
districts the Hearst men set up that the
delegates hadn't been properly elected and
that the Carlisle men had not recognized
them when they tried to speak in the con-
ventions. They asserted that they had a
real majority in both districts.
Mr.. Carlisle made a hot speech attacking
the methods Hearst had used, though he
did not mention Mr.. Hearst by name. He
said that the whole thing had been brought
about by the use of money.
Two men, one from San Francisco and
one from Buffalo, with their pockets lined
with money, ," he said came here. They
corrupted our caucuses, they bought our
delegates. When they saw they couldn't
get what they were after they organized
a bolt
The contest in the Fifth district Of Monroe
and that in Suffolk county brought out SINH
lar assertions from the Hearst side.
The New York districts were reached just
hOfnra midniRht- The Seventeenth WAS
taken up l1ust and the Williams men got the
drst hearing.
There was a big crowd TO hear wha. the
arguments Of the Murphy men would be.
William B. Donahue spoke for the Williams
side and Franklin B. Leonard for the Dona-
hue delegates. Gross and illegal acts per-
mitted by the election inspectors was the
ground given for the Donahue contest.
