DEMOCRACY TOO. HAS LIVELY
FIGHT FOR GOVERNORSHIp

Rochester. n. Y, Sept 1.-THE
New York democratic state conven-
ton, which will assembly here next
Tuesday, is expected to have coun-
try wide influence upon the prospects
Of the national party in the coming
election, for the state always has been
a decisive political battle-ground. This
year the managers of the democratic
national campaign have announced
their intention of fighting for the New
York electoral vote more stubbornly
than ever before and with this end in
view they will watch every move made
with regard to the state ticket Ma,
tional Chairman Mack will be in the
| city Monday TO participate in the final
conference of the leaders and to ex-
press a last word from Mr.. Bryan,
who will himself appear on the scene
next Wednesday night and address the
convention on the conclusion of its
nominations.
The fight for the gubernatorial
nomination is as yet an open one. The
sentiment here seems to be about
equally divided between Lieutenant
Governor Louis S. Chandler and half
dozen aspirants.
The state leaders are non-commital
as to their choice among the candi-
dates. Unless a concensus OF opinion
is reached prior TO the convention
which probably will begin Wednesday
afternoon, the word Of the national
campaign managers undoubtedly will
play an important part in the selec-
tion Of the head of the ticket II is
said Mr.. Bryan will be satisfied with

Berlin, Sept. IA record fight
was made by the military semi-rigid
dirigible balloon under command of
Major Gross, which returned here
shortly before noon today, after be-
ing in the air for thirty-four hours
and two minutes. This surpasses the
record made by Count Zeppelin when
on July l. he traversed the greater
part of northern Switzerland, occupy
| ing twelve hours in the journey. The
new record which was entirely uneX-
pected is greeted with enthusiasm
The military officers have forbidden
Major Gross to talk about the per-
formance, but Engineer Basenach,
who was aboard gave out the follow
ing statement of the flight:
"When we ascended the wind was
very light and in contrary direction,
but it shortly rose to twenty-five miles
an hour, against which we proceeded
slowly. 1t still further increased,
causing us to remain almost at a stand
still for two hours over the village OF
Rathnow, where in the bright moon
light we were the spectators of the
burning of a farm house.
"Major Gross considered the advis-
ability of returning, but as the wind
dropped somewhat he decided to con-
tinue the journey. We reached Stendel.
having covered only sixty-two miles In
eight hours, and then proceeded to
Madgeburg, where we arrived nine
and half hours after the time We
started. Both motors We're working
at full power all the while. The wind
was with us after that and we made
the home trip with only a single motor
reaching Tege in three and a half
hours.

though that would have been easily
possible, two persons sufhcing to con
ltrof the airsnip, one fhotorfnan and a
steersman. The most intense excite
ment, however, prevailed, and all re-
mained at their posts"
Referring to the questions of sys-
tenn, Engineer Basenach said that the
problem to be solved is how to pro-
,eed against the wind and it is diff
cult to institute a comparison between
flexible, semi-rgid and rigid systems.
My opinion is" he added, that all
three are equally good, each has its
advantages and disadvantages and will
be of great utility"
