ROCHESTER,. Sept. 1.-THE interesting
personality here to-day was Norman
f. Mack. chairman of tho Democratic
national committee. He had come di-
rect from Col. Bryan with request for
harmony in the State convention which
is to assemble at noon Tomorrow. Mr..
Mack had lunch with Chairman Con-
ners of the State committee, Charles +.
Murphy. Daniel +. Cohaan and John
Quinn. and later in the day they gathered
in Mr.. Mack's rooms at the Hotel Whit
comb. Mr.. Mack said in so many words
to those present on these two occasions:
mir. Bryan has not the slightest idea
OF suggesting a candidate for Governor
nor for any place on the State ticket. He
requested me. though, to advise that
harmony prevail in the preliminary and
temporary work OF the convention, not
only for the direct result in New York
State but for the great moral effect it will
have upon other States which are look
ing to New York to give additional i'm
me say again with earnestness that Mr..
Bryan has no candidate for Governor,
but he and all members of the national
committee are looking to New York
to set an example Of harmony and yet
united and effective work in our State
as well as in all States
Senator Patrick Honry Nc arren of
Kings has not yet met Mr.. Mack. Bryan's
national committee on credentials at
Denver threw out McCarren's delegates
from Kings county. the deleg ties who
we're overwhelmingly electei over the
Colerites, McCarren was not invited
to the harmony luncheon nor to the
harmony conference later on. McCarren
also did not feel that Mack as national
committeeman for the State and as rational
chairman has recognized the Kings county
Democrats in the distribution of the
patronage at national headquarters
either in Chicago or New York city. Nc
Carren thinks that these militant Demo-
Gratis shall be recognized in all situations,
National, State and local. That is what
he is fighting for and this is what shall
fight for to the last said McCarren
tonight.
HARMONY STILL AfAR OFF
The brand OF harmony as yet is not
particularly enhancing despite Mr.
Mack personal mission from Mr.. Bryan.
There is always serious difference in
the kinds of harmony suggested by
politicians. Democrats as we'll as Rcpub-
licans. 1t is usually the brand Of self
int Thot nf
might be extremely palatable to Bryan
Murphy or McCarren.
An instance of this kind occurred this
afternoon Immediately after Mack had
his talk with Conners and Murphy and
their friends Conners as State chair
man has distinctly and repeatedly de-
clared that -all delegates bearing Gre
dentials OF election to this convention
will be seated if have any power in the
matter yet Mr.. Conners does not want
the Bennett delegates seated in the
First district of Chautauqua over the
HeTernen men. The Mott-Bennett men
won handsomely, according to a state
ment issued tonight by Frank II, Mott,
who declared:
There are seventy-six delegates in the
Assembly conventions in the First Assem-
bly, district OF Chautauqua county. Upon
the adjournment for a recess to pass

fueed on every question. perfected a

the five Democratic Supervisors Of Chau-
tauqua county as delegates To the State
convention Forty-six OF this number
have signed and verified n statement
that they elected Messrs. Sanbury. War

vention was one of the two Democratic

one of the secretaries is prominent

vention. and conceding the opposition

STRUGGLE OVER M'cARRES PELFGATEs.
But Mr.. Conners is bitterly opposed TO
Mr.. Mott and Mr.. Bennet; on the other
hand. Mcclure and Doyle of Kings county,
unless Judge Aspinal decides differently
in Brooklyn Tomorrow morning, cannot
res ent legal certificates of election, and
neither can Joseph Cassidy Of Queens.
Murphy wants Mcclure and Doyle and
the Cassidy delegates seated here. while
Ccnners does not believe they can pro-
duce the required certificates TO seat them.
and there you are. So intense has be-
come the strain over this matter that
neither the Conners people nor the fol-
lovers Of Murphy can agree upon a
