New York, Sept. 2S.-Mayor NC
Clellan gave out a statement this after
noon, in which he said he would not
vote for Hearst for governor.
New York, Sept. 2s.-If Hearst is
elected governor Of New York, Bryan
will step aside and concede MN the
democratic nomination for president.
This is the dramatic report return.
ing delegates bring from Buffalo based
on deal alleged to have been ar
ranged while the peerless leader was
yet touring in Europe.
The story they vouch for is that
trusted lieutenant of the ambitious
young editor sought out the travelling
statesman abroad and made the fiat
footed proposition that he should
agree to yield the next democratic
chance of reaching the White House
to Hearst provided the latter, running
as the democratic candidate, could
reach the governors chair of the EN-
pire state.
The same authorities admit that
when Bryan made the promise he
doubtless thought there was not even
remote probability that he would be
called upon to redeem 1t.

This dream Of future greatness is
marred considerably by the more prac.
tical events of the day, which were
not so pleasant for the Hearst enthu-
siasts. In the first place, the action Of
the convention in refusing the usual
cedented. This refusal was one of the
most marked features Of convention
which long will be notable. No other
democratic state convention in the an
nails Of the party in New York state
ever refused unanimous nomination
before.
Another disturbing feature was the
announcement that the new democrat.
ic state committee elected by the dele.
gates to this convention will not, &C
cording to the custom Of generations
in the partys history, meet today and
elect it's new chairman. 1t was said
that the new state committee, which
was elected by the delegates seated by
Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Hearst's com
mittee on contested seats, will moi
meet until Monday in New York city
to elect chairman to succeed Cord
Meyer. Usually the new chairman OF
the committee has been elected before
the delegates to the convention leave
the hall after adjournment. The trou
BILE in the present instance, it was
made known by those familiar with
the situation, is that Mr.. Murphy has
promised Mr. Meyers place to two
eminent and distinguished democratic
statesmen, Fingy Corners of Buffalo
and Packy McCabe of Albany.
Representative Sulzer said: '1 an
philosophical loser and I am content

honest open, and above board fight
am now, and always have been, a dem
ocrat through and through, and IT goes
without saying that shall support th.
ticket. I said that before the conyen
tion and repeat 1t now"
What about thes5 ticket nominated
by the convention? ?" was asked of Nav

mayor, "and Of course there will j,
more speaking for it before the clos,

Murphy Is sanguine of Success.
Charles F. Murphy said: 1T has Al
ways seemed to me that the business
OF leader Is to follow the sentimen
OF his party and not only express it bu
make every effort to see that it ia mn

Hearst will be elected governor bv
