was taken before Judge Kersten, who

All saloons are closed and licenses to

companies being returned to their
homes. The local commands, however,
are under arms at the armory, ready
for an emergency.
The saloons will remain closed all day,

Nominee Retires for Night and Makes
No Statement-No Life in Conven-
tion and Quickly Disposed Of
Evidently "Cut and Dried"

BUFFALO, Thursday Sept. 27.-At
the session which began at 7:45 last
night and lasted until 2:20 this morn
ing, the Democratic convention nomin-
ated its state ticket with William RAN
dolph Hearst at the head of it.
Hearst was already in the field as the
head of the Independence Leagues
ticket. The Democrats also took from
the Independence League, Louis G..
Chanler, for acknowledgement, and
John S. Whalen, for secretary Of state.
Other nominees have no place on the
independence Ticket, Hearst received
800 votes, Sulzer l29. Dix IS; necessary
to choice, 22a NJ
The nomination of Hearst was made
in the face Of the bitterest opposition
ever waged in Democratic convention
in this state. The minority, which cast
its votes for Congressman Sulzer, had
known for several days that it was
beaten. This fact was made positive
early last night when the test-vote on
the majority report Of the committee on
contested seats showed Hearst's support
ers to be in absolute control. Under the
guise of advocating the candidacy of
Sulzer, number of Hearst's party op-
ponents took the stage amid cheers and
Kisses, denounced and arraigned the
man they knew was to be the party's
candidate, in the most remarkable se-
ries of speeches ever hurled at a man
to be named for the highest Office in
the gift of such convention.
The advocates of Hearst answered
these attacks, the most effective of the
arguments in his behalf being uttered
by Congressman Bourke Cochran, who
declared that Hearst was not his per-
sonal choice, but the demand that ne
be nominated, having come from every
part of the state, was not to be denied.

SARATOGA, Sept. 26.--Expedition
marked the second and final day Of the
New York State Republican conven-
tion. From early this morning, when 1t
became known that Charles r. Hughes
would be nominated for governor by ac-
clamation, all ether proceedings became
formal and were pushed to completion
with she utmost speed. The session
lasted about two hours and in that time
permanent organization was effected;
the chairman, Senator w. w. Armstrong.
delivered his speech and the credential
committee reported; platform was
adopted and the complete state ticket
was nominated.
Mention of President Roosevelt dur.
ing the reading OF the platform and in
the set speeches evoked boundless ap-
plause.
Brevity characterized the nominating
speeches, the most notable one being
that Of Jeb Hedges in the naming of
Charles Z. Hughes for Governor. Rep
resentative Herbert Parsons was re.
nominated for Lieutenant Governor. II
is understood the preference of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for Hughes and the dec
laration by Governor Higgins that he
would not oppose him. contributed ma
terialiy in Hughes favor.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Charles Il.
Hughes, as soon as he was notified of
his nomination for governor today, sent
a message of acceptance in which he
pointed out that he accepted it without
any pledge, other than the doing of his
duty according to his conscience. He
declared that, if elected, he would be
to give "sane, efficient and
honorable administration, free from
faint Of bossism or of servitude,"
The Saratoga platform declares,
among other things, as follows:
Assembled as delegates to the Re-
publican convention, we gladly record
our pride and confidence in President
Roosevelt. We indorse what he has
done in fulfilling the wish of the peo-
pie, in protecting both labor and cap
ital, in preventing unfair discrimination
in railway rates, in reforming the
abuses of trust corporations, in provid'
ing for the speedy construction Of the
Panama canal, in securing pure food
laws and uniform naturalization laws
and also in elevating the standard of
the public service. In these splendid
he has had the party CO.
operation and assistance of loyal Re-
publican congress.
1--WE congratulate him and the world
on what he did for peace between Rus
sia and Japan and also on what he is
1oing to compel peace in Cuba. He
has fought the battles of the plain
people so courageously and successfully
that his name is an inspiration in ev-
,ry state campaign and his record the
platform on which every good citizen is
wiling to stand. We pledge the Repub-
lean party in New York State to follow

HAVANA, Sept. 26.-Cuba today is
practically without government and
the landin gof American forces to restore
order in the island is believed to be the
necessary outcome.
President Palma remained in his pri-
vate apartments all morning. He per-
mits of no opportunity to interview him
nor communicate with him by mes
sages. His assistants say he is deeply
grieved at the outcome of the revolu-
tion, and there are rumors that he is
receding from his determination to re-
sign. Nothing, however, has developed
in substantiation of the report.
The moderate or governing party last
night decided to abdicate everything in
the nature of national, provincial and
municipal government, and thus force
the hands of the American Peace COM
missioners, and compel the United
States to intervene for the second time
in Cuba. The Liberals, or opposition
party, denounee the action of the Pal
ma administration as treason, but the
conservative interests throughout the
island welcome the idea of American in
tervention as being the only means of
securing an orderly administration Of

Strain on All Parties.

HAVANA, Sept. 26.-The government
late tonight abandoned the basic con.
tention that it is impossible to treat
with armed rebels and proposed to ne
gotiate directly with the committee Of
It's opponents. It is agreed to leave al
points upon which an understanding il
not reached to the final arbitration Of
Secretaries Taft and Bacon. The gov,
ernment suggested that it would treat
with the liberals if they lay down their
arms. but the American commissioners
ruled this unfair and the moderates held
the same view. 'S
While this phase Of the controversy
was wholly unexpected, Taft was great
ly pleased Herewith. saying: my i'm
preston is we are much nearer to Q
solution of the trouble tonight, than
last night"
It was also announced that the nego-
tiations to be opened between commit.
tees representing the opposing parties
would be without reference to previous
terms proposed. 1t is beyond question
that both parties are brought to more
tractable frame of mind by the verbal
ultimatum issued by Taft and Bacon
today in the name of President Roose-
welt, that the United States would make
temporary occupation unless they con-
sent to fair arbitration. 1t was ex-
planned that this occupation would not
be permanent, but only until elections
could be held, the new government firm
ly established, and order restored.
Within an hour after the receipt of the
ultimatum, the moderates agreed, after
a stormy session, to the suggestion Of
treating with the liberals.
1t is understood tonight that Presi-
dent Palma does not intend to withdraw
his resignation, but it is predicted that
will table it indefinitely.
