speedily ported. They all have had
frequent me tings with Murphy, Con-
uors and McCarren without avail.
Ohss. F. Murphy, the Tsmmany leader,

though Chairman Oonners is still talk
ing about the nomination of Lieutenant
Governor Obaner, 1t is declared that
Chspler may be counted out oft.

the lsts Marcus A. DAILY, the Montana
mining king, and is supposed to have
pot Of money. Gerard holds close and
pleasant relations with Murphy.
Discussion of the democratic state
platform Is occupying part of the time
OF the leaders today and 1t is said that
considerable progress has been made in
shaping up the first rough draft which
was brought here by Daniel F. Cohslan,
Tammany's grand sachem.
The Denver platform and the candi-
dacy and policies Of William ]. Bryan
will be endorsed. The plsnks as to
labor, iniunciions, and the guarantee
of bank deposits will be incorporated in
the state platform.
Governor Hughes will be condemned.
Shortly after the hour of noon the
convention assembled. The gsvel was
in the hands Of state Chairman Oonnors.
Senator Patrick a. McOsrreD, the
Brooklyn leader, today made the impor.
tant statement that he had been assured
by State Chairman Oonnors that he
would stand by him if Murphy tried to
unseat the McOsrren delegates. When
this was report d to Chairman Oonnors,
he practically confirmed it.
Questioned as to the goVernorshiP,
Senstor McCsrren said:
IL am still for Adam, of Buffalo.
Everybody seeUs to think he is the
strongest man that could be named,
vet they wont nominate him. As for

named by Tsmmsny Hall or in any
way affiliated with that organization
can be elected. II such a nomination
