Hearst Prediction That the Bubble
VIII Break and That Adam. GaSnOr
mr. suIzer Would Win On November.
The Democratic State convention at
Buffalo will he the liveliest and most inter-
ssting affair Of its III in many years. ac-
cording to predictions yesterday. Mayor
Mcclellan will not go AZ u delegate but will
leave on Sunday in order to confer with
old line Democrats on the situation in the
State. The convention city will be full Of
other Young and militant members Of the
narty and they are TO counsel with veteran
Democrats who have taken a keen interest
in the affairs of their party since Samuel
]. Tiden's time. District Attorney Jerome
will leave for Buffalo tomorrow and the
heads Of the various Democratic organiza-
tons in New York city will be on hand late
Sunday night or early Monday morning.
Meantime Democrats in New York city,
in Erie county and elsewhere In the State
are 10 20 carefully into the situation which
confronts the party. Enough was made
known yesterday in Tammany circles to
warrant the reiteration Of the statement
made in THF Sun yesterday morning that
Charles F. Murphy will encounter strenuou
opposition il he endeavors to clap on the
unit rule and turn over the los Tammany
delegates to William r. Hearst. More than
that, il is positively known that Tammany
leaders otherwise friendly to Mr.. Murphy
will not go Hear under any circumstances.
having been aware all along that Mr..
Hearst's boom is merely a manufactured
article and has no lasting substance. These
Tammany leaders can zee nothing but dis
aster 70 the Tammany organization and to
themselves if Mr.. Hearst, the candidate
Of a guerrilla convention. il sustained at
Buffalo by the Tammany organization.
whose fetch from time immemorial has been
Democratic regularity.
Friends Of Mr.. Murphy said last night
that he was beginning to recognize the
sentiment and that he was not unwilling
to confer on the subject. II was ascer-
tanned that every Democrat Of prominence
or Of political acumen who pretends to
be close to Mr.. Murphy has pointed ont
to him that Mr.. Hearst's boom il merely
wind and ink and paper and that il he
has been really serious in saying that he
had found a good deal Of Hearst senti-
ment in Tammany Hall Ne had not taken
the trouble to ascertain the real facts.
Still further, it wa stated, there Ia no class
Of citizens more partial to Tammany DOM
nation in the city than the small shop
keepers on the East and West tides OF the
town. and il was testimony of Tammany
leaders who had gone through these East
and West side districts that UGH citizens
hadn't been taken on their feet at all by

lisutenants.
Still, friends OF Mr.. Murphy continued
20 say that he believed that by tying up
TO Mr.. Hearst at Buffalo no would get the
support Of Mr.. Hearst's Independence
League in New York county for candidates
for Congress-, the Judiciary, State Senators
and Assemblymen. All that Mr.. Murphy
seemed to regard in this matter, it was
said, was the thought that Mr.. Hearst
could help him out in New York county,
and this with little or no concern as to the
fate Of the Democratic party In the State.
Big Tim Sullivan put himself squarely
on record yesterday when he was asked
il he would be for Hearst at Buffalo.
Il shall not be for Hearst under any cir
cumstanoes," replied Representative SuEli-
van. Il mean exactly what l say. lido not

Mr.. Hearst"
The Sullivans are commit ed to the can-
didacy Of Representative William Sulzer on
the ground that Mr.. Sulzer il an honest
man, that he was a strong Bryan man, that
he has been marked Tor his fidelity to Tam
many and to the Democratic party Of the
State and that he would not fail to explain
to the Democrats Of the State that Mr..
Haar f 10 naN N nauo1oN and That NJ
Heafst's f~Sllscies are decidedly undemo-
cratic.
Senator Patrick Henry McCarren, who
won such a notable victory on primary day
in Kings county over the Hearstites, did not
care TO speak yesterday about the situation.
He merely remarked that he and several
of his friends are eager to do everything in
their power to benefit the Democratic party
OF the State 40 that II will be in fine trim to
60 into the national battle Of 1908.
This Hearst BOOM" said a Democrat
who is very highly regarded all over the
State, is nothing but sawdust and hot
air. The Democrats OF the State would
never stand Mr.. Hearst or his doctrines
and | am amazed at Mr.. Hearst for think
ing that he can capture the regular Demo-
cratic nomination at Buffalo. When we get

the Hearst boom will collapse. There IN
nothing to it. OF course. il has cost a great
deal Of money, but there il no sound DemC-
cratic principle behind It and when il gets
into the limelight Of the convention city
1t will he quickly demonstrated that II is
nothing but a newspaper boom, got up
for newspaper advertising purposes and
nothing more. Politicians pretend to be
sghast at the size OF Mr.. HeRrst's boom
when they are laughing in their sleeves
about IL and the voters with whom l have
talked are amazed that the politicians should
try to humbug anybody into thinking that
they really believe Mr.. Hearst has a chance
~ get the nomination at Buffalo.
Let me make youa prediction on thisd day,
September 90" continued the speaker.
The regular Democratic candidate TO be
named at Buffalo-Mayor John N. Adam Of
Buffalo, Supreme Court Justice William
J. Gaynor OF Brooklynl or Representative
William Sulzer, will be first in the race
on election night, the Republican candidate
will be second and William r. Hearst
will bo a had third =
