 Name Candidate. PLATFORM IS PRESENTED
Declares for Direct Primaries
 Within the Counties.
No Specific Endorsement of Bishops Law Hut Endorses Past Atti- tude of Republican Party
 on Excise Question.

Trenton. N. J.. Sept. 1s.--supreme nominated for Governor on the first ballot by the Republican State Conven- ton tonight. Justice Fort received 750 votes out of a total of 1,159.
 The main difference of opinion on the platform is with respect to the excise question. Seventeen different proposi- tions have been presented on the sub Ject, ranging from a fiat-footed decla- ration for the Bishops law to one for q local option plank on the question of Sunday selling. United States Senator Briggs. the State Chairman, favors an endorsement of the Bishops law, as does Congressman Fowler and many of the other leaderA
 Justice Fort. the nominee for Cover nor. Is understood to have sent word that he wants 8 plank for the strict observance of Sunday and that he wishes to make his campaign on that issue. The real opposition to the Bish- ops law comes from those who are against the proposition, which compels the exposure to public view of the in- terior of bar rooms on Sunday.
 The subcommittee of the State Com rnitee, having charge of the drafting of a platform, finished it's work just be- fore the convention met The platform as drawn does not make a specific en- dorsement of the Bishops law but en- dorses the past attitude of the Repub- lican party on the excise question.
 Partial concessions are made to the Colby people in the matter of their de- mands for direct primaries. The plat form declares for direct primaries with in counties. The platform will be re- ferred to the Committee on Resolutions where another light will take place over It's provisions
 It was o'clock before the conven- ton was called to order by Senator Briggs who presented former Governor John W. Griggs as the temporary chairman. At the conclusion of his speech the usual committees were ap- pointed.

MOBILE MEN ! MAKE ERRORS Officials There Owing

 Owe Smaller Sums.
REPORTS ON TWO COUNTIES

Reports received at the capitol yes terday from the State examiners of Public Accounts indicate that county officials are still lax in their methods of handling the revenues of the State. There were tive examinations of county accounts during the last week, and many errors were discovered. showing that the State is creditor of some of xhe county officials in Mobile and Rus- sell counties.
 Examiners Brooke and Lee sent in fheir reports after a long session with the officials in these two counties. The total amount they discovered still due the State is no small item.
 Some of the oldest and best known officials in the State are in Mobile and Russell counties, and when it was seen that they had made errors in their books general surprise was expressed at the capitol
 Judge Price Williams of Mobile was fhe heaviest sufferer by the examina- tion, it being shown that his books were out of line just $62s.S5. These errors were such. however. as are liable to occur in the office of any probate court under the intricate sys- tenn or fees and collections for the State.
 The two reports received at the Audi &or's office were as follows:
 Mobile County--Judge of Probate Price Williams. due the State $629.S5.
 Frank Cazales. sheriff. accounts cor rect.
 Tax assessor, Edward Laurendine. errors in assessments, $51o.9s, of which &sS2 F is due the State as the assess pent Corrected.
 Tax Collector. P. B. Dorian due the State s37s7s.
 Clerk of Circuit court J. A. Shelton due the State. seventy-five cents.
 Judge of the Inferior court J. E. Afford, Docket correct.
 Russell County-Judge of Probate nourt, H. T. Benton, correct.
 Sheriff w A Bellamy, correct.
 Tax Assessor W. H. Vann. correct.
 Tax Collector, H. B. Pitts due the State s19S1s.
 Clerk of the Circuit court F. W. Perry due the State $7.50.
 Superintendent of Education. J. L. Pollard due the State s34.50.
 The amount due the State by Tax Assessor Edward Laurendine of Mobile. is due to an error in totalling the columns of figures in his books. 1t was discovered that in adding up the total assessments there was an error of S5l,095, and at the State rate of taxation the amount due the State through this error is $S32.12. MT. Luarendtne, however. will not have to pay this amount. but his books were corrected. and the amount will be col- iected.
