Bryan win DO Much to Harm Him
Call for the Albany Conference Finds
Favor with All Democratic Save Mack.
There were plenty Of Dem oorats In town
last night from other States who eaid that
Mr.. Hearst's attitude In the matter Of the
reception to William j.. Bryan In Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night would,
without the slightest doubt, have its effect
on Mr.. Hearst's Gubernatorial aspirations
In the State Of New York this fall. Only
at the last moment, these Democrats pointed
out, did Mr.. Hearst come out and show
even q quasi interest in the Bryan demon
straion. g. ,t~'
The Bryan reception committee, on tho
other hand, 1t was asserted, has done every.
thing possible to oonoiliate Mr.. Hearst and
induce him to take o hand in the Bryan
Publication. These Bryan Democrats In
sisted that from the minute the Bryan
demonstration was over tomorrow night
Mr.. Hearst would begin to feel the effects
OF his attempt to boycott Bryan In his
newspapers within the last six months and
to turn-a cold shoulder to the Bryan demon
s~tration or this occasion. The Bryan men
were also displeased because Mr.. Hearst's
people in Boston have told District Attorney
Moran that Moran must climb down from
the!Bryan bandwagon and declare for Hearst
II he expects the support Of Hearst and his
newspaper in the coming campaign in
Massachusetts,.
There we're Bryan Democratic In tow last
night who said that to their positive nowl-
edge James K. Jones, former United States
Senator for Arkansas and chairman of tho
Democratic national committee In the
Bryan campaigns Of 1895 and 1900 frequently
complained because MIR. Hearst in his New
York and Chicago newspapers gave little
or no support to Mr.. Bryan.
Indeed, the Bryan people talked q good
deal about Mr.. Hearst yesterday and they
what lie known In politics as regular; that
Mr.. Bryan in 1895 was nominated by q regu-
lar Democratic national convention n
afterward Endorsed by the Populists, where
as Mr.. Hearst. after accepting the two
nominations Of Tammany for Congress
and having been elected to tn, House Of
Representative by the regular Democratic
organization OF New York city, came out
last fall as a guerrilla Democratic candidate
for May OF against the candidate nomi-
mated by the regular organization, the or
ganization which had sent Mr.. Hearst to
the House Of Representatives. Then the
Bryan men went on to point out that MIR.
Hearst has now called q guerrilla State con-
vention to assemble in Carnegie Hall on
September IL for the purpose Of intimidat-
ing the regular Democratic organization
Of the State into giving him the Democratic
nomination for Governor.
The Bryan men added that from the hourof
Judge Parker's defeat In 1904 there had been
a political contest going on, audit would CON-
tinue to go on until 1908, for supremacy in
the Democratic national convention Of that
year and that this contest was really be-
tween Mr.. Bryan and his friends and Mr..
Hearst and his friends; and these Bryan
men warned the regular Democracy OF New
York State that Mr.. Hearst's present CAM
paign as the guerilla candidate for Gov
ernor Is for no other purpose than to capture
the regular Democratic organization Of the
State 80 that he may control In the Demo-
cratic national convention of 1908 its seventy
six delegates.
Something more was said yesterday about
Mr.. Hearst's characterization Of those
opposed to his nomination under the gen.
eral term of 1plunderbund,' and it was
then made known that in 1900 n in 1902
Mr.. Hearst would very gladly have accepted
the nomination for Governor from this
-p~lunderbund.'
The call for q meeting Of Democrats at
Albany OF September 6 to discuss the Demo-
cratic situation In the State was very highly
approved yesterday by all Democrats at
tho Hartman uonsa With tha aycapt;op ~
E. Mack, Democratic national COM
mitteeman for the State, whose friends said
that he was heart and soul a Bryan man
and that there was a good deal OF humbug
about Mr.. Mack's alleged advocacy OF Mr..
Hearst. That part Of the call for the Albany
which was spoken OF in enthusiastic
terms was: 1T is time that the honest,
voters who love their party and
in it's mission should speak out
should reafirm in clear and positive form
It's basic principles and announce their
to surrender to any political black
mailer or gang of political thieves who are
preparing to buy or steal the party emblems
the party faith"
Many Democrats said that they were
the platform to be adopted by
Mr.. Hearst's convention on September II.
The opinion was expressed that this docu-
ment ought to be IN interesting one, for the
reason that Mr.. Hearst by sending his lieu
.enants throughout the State for the last
six months in the effort to capture dele
gates to the regular Democratic State con-
which is to be held in Buffalo on
September rs, must be very particular about
his utterances on September II.
That document will, without doubt, be
presented to the Buffalo State convention.
md II Mr.. Hearst captures control Of the
regular convention he can easily have his
platform of September II adopted at Buffalo
IN September rs. Should Mr.. Hearst be
unable to capture control Of the Buffalo
convention on September % the committee
On resolutions in that convention would
prepare a platform entirely diverse from
socialistio and radical theories which
MIR. Hearst In his preliminary campaign
must stand upon In his own convention of
IL.
John B. Stanchheld, Democratic candi-
date for Governor in 1900, said in his opinion
that the Democratic delegates from below
the Bronx line, that is. those elected in
the boroughs Of Manhattan, The Bronx.
