NEW YORK, Sept 12.-w. r. Hearst
was tonight nominated for Governor of
New York by the Independence League.
Men for the other places on the ticket
were recommended for nomination.
Hearsts confidential employees dis
agreed in their statements as to
whether the ticket was permanent
Some of them said there would be no
changes in any circumstances. Others
said there would be changes in all the
offices with the exception of the Gov
ernorship If the Democratic State con-
vention proved willing to accept
Hearst for Governor and Ford for At
torney General. Ford is a Republican.
Should the Democrats refuse to accept
Ford they might be willing to accept
Clarence A. Shearn, Hearsts personal
counsel
That deal is on no one can doubt
The very manner of the making of the
nominations indicated it. The execu-
tive committee through Shearn made a
report to the convention answering the
mysterious petition of upstate Demo-
Gratis asking that nominations be de-
ferred until after the Buffalo conven-
ton. This reply said the convention
deemed II inadvisable to postpone nom
nations. but contained this suggestive
paragraph:
IF the Democratic masses should be
successful in this commendable en-
deavor (overthrowing the bosses) we
should be glad to make common cause
with them. and if they should not be
successful we extend our hand of
friendship to them and invite their
support at the polls of our independent
ticket"
Here. in one and the same sentence.
is an invitation to Charles F. Murphy
and the other bosses in the State and
n n ~ 1nf
overthrow themselves in the interest
of Hearst
The executive committee recommend
ed candidates for the entire State tick
cts. All the names were accepted by
the mass meeting and they stand as
long as the executive committee de-
sires OF course no man was nomi-
mated without an understanding that
he shall withdraw If Hearst says so.
1t is all in the hands of this committee
and the committee is in the hands of
Hearst.
Bryans name was not once mention
ed in the course OF the convention al
though the names of all the veteran
leaders of national or state prominence
in both parties were made the subject
of allusion. The last session of the
convention was marked by confusion
and tumult, and even wild disorder
prevailed at times. After he was nomi-
mated Hearst made speech in a high
key He looked pale and frightened.
Many former supporters of w. R.
Hearst in Brooklyn, who are perfect
ing an organization 10 oppose him, will
attend the Buffalo convention and urge
the nomination for Governor of Judge
William J. Gaynor Deputy County
Clerk Bella Tokaji will attend the dele
cation and Judge Gaynor will be
urged as a nominee who would receive
the votes of the radicals as we'll as the
conservatives in the party.
Many of the men who will go to the
Buffalo convention are former Repub-
licans who left that party last year
and they will pledge themselves to sup
port the Democratic ticket If Judge
Gaynor is named.
If the Democrats do not name a
ticket satisfactory to them. then petit
tions will be circulated for the nomi-
nation of a municipal ownership ticket
opposed to the Hearst candidate.
