Committee VIII Meet Tonight.
The advance guard OF delegates TO Mr.
Heast's convention, at which he N 70 be
placed in nomination for Governor, began
to arrive in town yesterday. There are to
lie 1900 delegates at the convention. which
is to start on Tuesday in Carnegie Hall.
The number that arrived yesterday was
small compared to that expected to-day,
but there were enough TO shout for Hearst
and to give out typewriter interviews on
the overwhelming sentiment for him in
their communities. The delegates are to
be put up at the Imperial, the Gilsey and
the Grand and have been instructed TO do
a. much shouting M they can while they
are in town.
W. j. Corners OF Buffalo, who is not q
delegate to the Hearst convention but has
been engineering the Hearst boon In Buff
falo, also arrived yesterday. He brought
with him a carefully prepared statement
TO the effect that everything was Hearst
everywhere, hat Mr.. Hearst would surely
be nominated at the Buffalo convention
but that it would be well for the Hearst
people to give the Buffalo convention a
chance to indore Hearst and get together
on the rest OF the ticket.
MIR. Conners and Mr.. Mack are behind
the memorial which 10 to be presented to
the Hearst convention. signed by some Of
the instructed delegates to the Buffalo
convention, asking that the convention
cooperate with the regular Democratic
convention, which they are sure In TO DO
for Hearst. Mr.. Corners admitted last
night that he wa behind this memorial,
which has been signed by some State COM
mitteemen.
Mr.. Corners; in a statement handed out
last night, said that this paper was q result
Of numerous talks he had had with Demo-
Gratis all over the State.
The convention at Buffalo, said Conners;
will show a reformed Democratic party.
Bosses have been knocked but In many
Democratic county conventions. The
question low Is, Shall all the people who
stand for progress and for the principles
and platform that Mr.. Hearst represents
stand together this fall, or shall they be
divided7'
made in behalf Of the Hearst men who
want 10 be regular there was issued from
the Hearst council chamber in the Gieey
House a statement to the eject that the
request Of the Corners crowdw would be pre-
sented to the convention and would re-
Ceive due consideration.
1T Is not the place Of the Independents
League to make overtures for cooperation"
said the Gilsey House statement, but IL
could not well refuse to consider them II
they were made to II in good faith and for
good purposes
The statement, which was signed by Mr..
Hearst and The other members Of his ex-
ecutive committee, ven on to say:
The Independence League has proceeded
with its organiZation and Its campaign in
dependent OF either party. Ii has placed
lis convention before both OF the other con-
venrions il has elected its delegates and it
viii continue to act along the lines OF it's
accepted policy. IL will declare It's prlnci-
Ils~ and ask all who believe In those prin-
Siples to act with IL.
The main object OF attack OF the indie
pcndence League IL corporation control OF
The peoples government, Last year the
CorpJratons were undoubtedly intrenched
behind Tammany. and Tammany's candidate.
Mcclellan, received the support and the cor
rlption fund OF the corporations. last year
TIE league. therefore. cooperated with lin
Coln Republicans against corporation Demo-
Gets. This year there cannot be a doubt
In The minds of frank and honest men that
the corrupt corporations will name and sup
port the Republican ticket: consequently any
suggestion Of honest cooperation coming
from Jerersonian Democrats or other organ
izstions pledged to reform would probably
he taken under consideration by the indie
Tendence League convention.
There was a lot OF talk about the Gilsey
and the Imperial last night which seemed
10 indicate that any such action a. the
Corners crowd wants would be decidedly
unpopular with some of the out and out
Municipal Ownership Independence League
Hearstites. Some Of them said that II IL
was really left to the convention any such
Programme would be knocked into smither-
tens.
One thing is sure, = said one man. we've
come here to nominate Hearst and we're
not going home TIL we do. guess he won
stop US, either.
The State committee OF the Hearst or
ganization is 70 hold q meeting at 8 O'Clock
tonight at the Gilsey House to complete
the programme for the convention that
will be called together at noon on Tuesday,
by Max Ihmsen, Mr.. Hearst's political
manager. An upstate mar Ia to be named
as temporary chairman and q New York
city man for permanent chairman. The
platform il to dwell entirely on State issues.
Nearly all tho platform will be aimed at
the wicked corporations and wicked party
bosses. Anything in the way OF advanced
socialism will be carefully avoided.
