BUFFALO, Sept. 2s.-Every Demoorab-
in the country is concerned over the outs
condo Of the Democratic State convention
which Ia to assemble here on Tuesday.
One Of the best known Democrats whof
is anxiously awaiting the result is William
Jennings Bryan. Another well known
Democrat who has asked for quick In
formation Of the conventions verdict 10
Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey OF Texass
As q matter Of fact there isn't a notableS
Democrat in the land who has not in some1
manner indicated his interest in the tickebi
to be nominated here. These evidences
OF interest on the part Of these Familiarity
known Democrats brought out tina stats
meut to-day that the Hearst beast, with>
its scales Of money and its sawdust stufilg
and its great belchings Of hot air." must
be killed here or it will swallow the De-.
moOracy not only Of New York State bubt
Of many other States before the tins ford
the Democratic Presidential conventiouS
rolls around in 1908.
The fact that Mr.. Hearst has already,
nominated District Attorney Moran OF
Boston for Governor of Massachusetts,
that he has nominated a ticket in Cook
county, Ill.,. and that the power Of hi@t
money, backed by his chain OF newspapers, :
may go into othsr territories Is not by any
means overlooked by those who are giving
this convention their serious consideration
MURPHY WON'T CALL A AUG UNTIL
HEARsr Is BEATEN.
Mr.. Murphy of Tammany, as a result Of
his talks to-day with Mr.. Sullivan and Mr..
Hopkins OF Illinois and with Mr.. Corners
and Mr.. Mack and other Democrats. has
decided that he will not call a caucus OF
the Tammany delegates as long as Mr..
Hearst remains in the field as a candidate
LOT Jno luuOEbcihChO VI thiS OouNCubIOus
As soon as Mr.. Murphy becomes convinced
that Mr.. Hearst is i~rretrievably beaten
for the Endorsement he will call together
the Tammany delegation and ask it to
unite on a candidate for Governor. Mr..
Murphy, his friends aid tonight, has
come to this conclusion not only after
his talks with Democrats to-day but be-
cause Of conferences in New York oity
with Representative Timothy D. Sullivan
and Senator Patrick Henry McCarren.
Mr.. Murphy by thus refusing to call the
TammRny delegates in caucus until he
IL convinced that Mr.. Hearst is out OF the
way demonstrates, in the judgment OF
Democrats here, that he il afraid that no
would be beaten in his own delegation If
he persisted in advocating Mr.. Hearst.
Mr.. Murphy since his arrival here has as
certained, it was said, that Mayor Mcclellan
and District Attorney Jerome and their
friends in the Tammany delegation, to-
gether with the forces led by Big Tim Sulli-
van. would subject him to disastrous de-
feat and deplorable humiliation il he called
together the Tammany delegation to eau
GUS on the name OF Mr.. Hearst. Mr.. Muir
ply will thus. by refusing to call the dele
CATION together until he is convinced that
MIR Hearst il ont OF the running. attempt
10 avoid a battle. which would end in his
utter rout in the Tammany delegation.
On its face this means that Mr.. Hearst is
already deplorably beaten for the indOrse-
ment OF this convention AMI that the saw
dust even now is pretty nearly all o1t Of
the Hearst boom.
THREE DEMOCRATS FROM OTHER State.
Three important Democrats from other
States turned mp in Buffalo this morning.
Roger e. Sullivan, Democratic national
committeeman for Illinois; Ey-Mayor John
p. Hopkins Of Chicago and Alexander Troup
Of Connecticut, former Democratic national
committeeman for that State and treasurer
Of the committee which recently handled
the Bryan reception in New York city.
Mr.. sullivan and Mr.. Hopkins do not love
Mr.. Bryan, the former only recently finding
IL necessary 20 call the Peerless One in
an authorized interview a liar, just plain
liar. Mr.. Hopkins is the chum, political
and social. Of Mr.. Sullivan. They are
more than brothers, Brothers very often
differ, very sadly and very severely, but in
a dozen years Of the closest communion
Mr.. Hopkins and Mr.. Sullivan have had
the keenest personal affection for each
other While Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Hopkins
are not in love with Mr.. Bryan, neither have
they any sort Of affection. political or other,
for Mr.. Hearst. They rather look on Mr..
Hearst az a curiosity. They both know
Mr.. Hearst personally and to some extent
are acquainted with his plans.
Mr.. Troup believes in Mr.. Bryan always,
and is shy OF individuals who look upon
Mr.. Bryan as a fat witted propa gandist.
Mr.. Troup believes that Mr.. Bry an is event.
ually to be the Moses Of the Democratic
party TO lead it through the Red Sea Of
Republican corruption into the control Of
the national Government.
NO POLITICS IN THEIR VISIT.
Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Hopkins protested
to-day against any political Interpretation
being put upon their visit here at this time.
Mr.. Hopkins said that he was a Buffalo boy
originally and hat he had come here TO $50
his old friend Norman E. Mack, Demo-
cratic national committeeman for the
State Of New York. Mr.. Sullivan said that
