The convention Of the Independence
League at Carnegie Hall last night nomi-
mated William Randolph Hearst for Gov
ernor, a full State ticket. adopted q reso-
luton refusing to fuse with the Democrats
and gave Candidate Hearst a wildly en-
thusiastio reception.
The business OF the convention was
transacted in less than forty-hve minutes,
and the rest of the time, more than two
hours, was used up in cheering and speech
making. Carnegie Hall was packed to the
doors, to the limit OF the law, and the police
under Inspector Walsh turned away hun
dreds Of people who wanted to get a look
at the political circus.
The adoption unanimously OF the resolu-
ton to turn down the proposition Of Nor.
man E. Mack, William J. Corners and the
other Democrats who wanted the indie
pendence League to nominate Hearst only
and keep the ticket clear for q dicker with
the Buffalo convention. was the biggest
thing which the convention produced.
Mr.. Hearst, Max F. Ihmsen, Clarence J.
Shearn and others Of the Hearst leaders
who wanted to trade for support with the
regular Democratic convention, were over
whelmed by the sentiment for a straight
ticket and a purely independent fight.
They took their defeat with the best
grace possible, but it was said last night
they will make an effort anyway to gel sup
port from the Democrats by inducing some
Of the candidates to get off the ticket. II
Hearst and his leaders have the nerve to
try that game it will certainly split the
Independence League wide open. The dele
gates who got wind OF the proposed action
declared tina il Mr.. Hearst stood sponsor
for a trick OF that kind they would vote
squarely against him.
Next to the adoption Of the anti-fusion
resolution the reception given to Mr.. Hearst
by the 800 and odd shouters was the in
teresting feature OF the tinal session. When
he appeared, at the psychological moment,
the convention went wild with enthusiasm,
roaring, yelling, cheering. marching n
counter marching, singing and lifting the
roof with the volleys Of Hearst, Hearst,
William Randolph Hearst
Immediately after the convention the
Hearst leade~rs-Ihmsen, Shearn and h
others-admitted that the nominations by
the convention we're purely Of sentimental
interest. The nominations will have to be
assured by petition, and Mr.. Ihmeen an
nounced that the league would set about
Immediately obtaining the names neces-
sary.
The leaders also declared that they had
no further idea Of making a decker with the
regular Democratic convention to win
support for the head Of the ticket. They
said that they would abide by the action
Of the convention, but they insisted that 1t
would ave been much wiser if the con-
vention had agreed to do business with
the Buffalo convention. At the meeting OF
the executive committee and of the COM
mittee on platform and resolutions yester-
day afternoon at the Giisey House the
leaders endeavored to sidetrack the anti
fusion resolution, but they hadn't a nance
with the overwhelming sentiment against
the idea.
BIG CROWD OF RIOTERS THERE.
Long before 8 o'clock, the time set for
the assembling OF the delegates, Carnegie
Hall was packed and jammed with perspir-
ing humanity. The committees had dis
tributed tickets lavishly, handing ont gen.
eral admission cards to all who applied for
them. The convention had something OF
the attraction of a circus for hundreds Of
people who had read of the wild scene just
before adjournment on Tuesday night.
Other hundreds were relatives or friends OF
the delegates. Small American flags were
passed around and everybody was exhoTted
to get busy and help out in the cheering.
In front of Carnegie Hall Inspector Walsh;
who was-in charge of the police arrange
ments, had a big crowd to handle. When
the auditorium and galleries were packed
