Difficult to Pick a Winner in the
New York State Democrat
iC Convention.

Buffalo. Sept Arrangements for
the Democratic state convention, which
is to be called to order in convention
hall tomorrow at noon, went forward
rapidly today. The big auditorium seats
5000 persons.
On the eve of the convention the vari-
Gus candidates who are on the scene
and the representatives of those who
are not here marshaled their forces
about them and prepared for what is
expected to be the liveliest and most
interesting convention the Democratic
party has ever held in this state. The
party leaders were still trying to faith
ON the strength of William r. Hearst,
in whose behalf a strong campaign or
ganization is working. They are also
endeavoring to secure q declaration
from Charles f. Murphy, the leader of
Tammany Hall, whose caucus is OK
pected to be held either Immediately
prior 20 the first session of the con-
vention or just following il.
Tammany Not Pledged.
Mr.. Murphy was called upon at his
headquarters tonight by a party of
seven delegates, from as many coun-
ties in the state. who were headed by
John A. Dix of Washington county, and
who spoke in behalf of Mr.. Dix as to
their choice for governor. He is a
relative of the late Governor John AZ.
Dix.
To these gentlemen Mr.. Murphy
made, the most positive statement of
his condition and that of Tammanv
Hall that he has uttered in public since
his arrival here.
'Tammany is not pledged to any can
didate whatsoever" said he, land l
want that understood. We are here ito
find out who the upstate people want.
and whoever they decide upon is good
enough for US; no matter whether il is
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Dix or anybody else.
Tammany will follow, not lead"
Long Conference.
Added significance was attached to
this remark by the fact that it was
uttered after Mr.. Murphy had been in
an all afternoon conference with a
number of prominent men representing
the various factions of the party.
Former Mayor Osborne stated tonight
that the Albany conference purposes to
send a committee to convention bear
ing the resolutions adopted at the re-
cent conference as well as the address
issued TO the public by the executive

LIBERALS ARE AGREED.
Peace Will Follow Consent of the
Palma Government.

Palna government.
Havana, Sept. 24-Victory for the
liberals or revolutionary party seems
certain tonight at the conclusion of a
long conference between a committee
of the insurgents, of eight members and
the American peace commissioners. The
insurgent committee announced there
was practically no difference remain
Ing between them and Secretaries Taft
and Bacon. and that they would re-
Ceive draft OF the peace plans tomor-
row. These probably would be agreed
to at a meeting to be held i'm the presi-
dio, where the prisoner members of the
committee are confined.
Details Withheld.
Secretary Taft said he could give no
details of what transpired at the con-
ference, for the reason that IL was now
necessary to treat with the government
leaders, and that the publication OF the
peace proposals might interfere with
their prompt acceptance.
Messrs. Taft and Bacon went to the
palace tonight and informed President
Palma of the outcome of the negotia-
tons with the liberals. The absence of
a definite statement from the commits
sioners makes it impossible to say
whether the plans carry the resigna-
tions Of the present administration and
the congressman elected last year or
not.
Palma May Remain.
There is a strong impression that
President Palma will remain and reor-
ganize the cabinet, but that new cleo
tions will he held for half the senators

Interesting information was yesterday
secured by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission on coal conditions in the west and
particularly in Wyoming. The govern
ment's representatives brought out testi-
mony to the effect that the Union Pa
cific Coal company has obtained coal land
in Wyoming through the aid of its en-
ployes. Several witnesses, under fire,
confessed that they took up quarter sec
tons in the Horse Thief and Long can
yons which they never saw, improved or
paid for. One witness confessed that ne
did not know where Horse Thief canyon
is located.
Another line Of testimony brought out
during yesterdays session was that the
biggest share of coal land in Wyoming
is situated on the Hartman lines, and
these roads, with the Rio Grande, con-
troll the coal market in Salt Lake. The
Union Pacific Coal company, according
to testimony volunteered by Judge Rob
ert s. Spence. land lawyer of Evans
ton. has frozen out all independent coal
companies, and thus controls the output
Of the state. The commission also en-
deaVOred to show that a coal pool is in
existence among the dealers in Salt Lake,
which keeps the prices on all Goals exact
ly alike.
The commission tried to secure infor-
nation from the Oregon Short Line Off
Gals about a secret rate of 4 mills per
ton per mile advanced to the Amalga-
mated Copper company of Butte, and the
Anaconda Copper company of Anaconda,
on coal shipped to their shelters from the
mines at Diamondville. This rate is
lower than the published tariff. Nothing
bearing upon any such agreement was
brought out.
