Jeromes candidacy for governor was
practically Withdrawn today at the ad-
journed meeting of the so-called AL
bany conference of anti-Hearst demo-
Gratis. Representatives from about
twenty-five counties attended, and it
was decided that the delegates opposed
to the nomination of Hearst should
concentrate on either Judge Gaynor or
Mayor Adam as the expediency may
require.
The Tammany Hall delegation, which
is generally regarded as holding the
balance of power, has not yet held
caucus, tho it has been it's custom to
do so on the night previous to the con-.
vention. Some delegates declare
caucus is unnecessary, as the leaders
know pretty we'll what the situation in
Tammany is. "A poll delegation may be
made on the floor of the convention.
There has been much talk of some
Tammany delegates not attending the
caucus. Without caucus any boiling
element would be unable to show it's
hand, and Tammany thus would re-
main solid phalanx before the con-
vention.
Nixon for Temporary Chairman.
The selection Of Lewis Nixon as tenn
porary chairman was the first Tam-
many victory, and was also regarded
as point gained for Hearst. Nixon
is close to Leader Charles F. Murphy

ment on the situation in Tammany has
been that he found "plenty of Hearst
sentiment" in the organization. AS to
the chances of other candidates he has
remained silent.
Osborne Would Beat League.
At the conference Thomas NJ Os-
borne, former mayor of Auburn, said
that a critical condition confronted the
democratic party. There Is danger
that the emblems and traditions which
we all love are to be turned over to
the Independence League. 1t Ms the
sense of the majority of those present
that we should concentrate on some
candidate who can be voted for by all
self-respecting democrats, and who
may possibly defeat this unholy alli-
ance.'
Jerome, John N. Carlisle, secretary Of
the democratic state committee and
Former Mayor Osborne were appointed
as a committee to go among the dele
gates to ascertain the sentiment and
report at meeting to be held tonight.
Jerome would make no statement after
the meeting. He has let it be gener-
NJ bo
days that his objection to entering the
race was for the purpose of defeating
the nomination of Hearst Any COM
that would accomplish this
would be satisfactory to him.
SuIzer Has Hopes.
Representative Sulzer claims he has

who will stick to him thruout. He
says: Murphy is very friendly to
me-" He asserts that Jerome, NC
Clellan and Adam are all working for
him as the one man who can beat
Hearst
Real Session is Brief.
When, at 1880 State Chairman
Meyer raped for order, and Lewis
Nixon, of New York, was nominated
for temporary chairman, the hall was

ary work had been completed the con-
vention adjourned to II O'clock tomor-
row, the session having lasted twenty
four minutes.
