GRAY IS
DOOMED IN n. Y.
FOR PRESIDENCY
Son Among Those Who See the
Leaders-Acceptance Said
to Have Been Given.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Democrats
of prominence in New York State have
held conferences recently in this city
for the purpose of booming the candi-
dacy of Judge George Gray, of Della
ware, for nomination for the presi-
dency. The movement has gone so far
that Judge Gray's consent that he be
placed in the field has been assured,
through the medium of Delaware men
who attended the conferences. His son
also has seen some of the leaders.
1t cannot be asserted positively how
Judge Gray will announce his candi-
dacy, although it is rumored that he
may do so in a public speech. He has
been urged to come out openly as a
competitor of William j. Bryan and
Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, and a
systematic and vigorous campaign will
be waged.
In view of this development in the
Democratic situation, a statement by
Charles F. Murphy is of especial sig
nihcance. Mildly rebuking State Chair
man William j. Corners for declaring
that New York State leaned toward
Governor Johnson and was strongly OPP
posed to Bryan, Mr.. Murphy said:

LET no one be misled by this ac-
count to the delusive idea that the
pleasures of cocaine can be enjoyed
with impunity. Such as I have de-
scribed were the experiences of a few
weeks only, during which I was o n
stantly increasing the number of grains
I took daily.
"At first l had the druggists make
me a 6 per cent. solution, but ! soon
became accustomed to buy cocaine in
the powdered form and make my own
solutions OF unknown strength. My
hypodermic needles were constantly
getting out of order, and 1 was forever
buying new ones. When my arm be-
came sore from repeated punctures, 1
used my ankles. Some curious expert
ences befell me with druggists.
"Once in a spirit of fun, when n
druggist asked me i wished CO.
caIne for, 1 replied, yellow fever mt

sold me what wanted, with n laugh.
At some stores 1 became so well known
that the clerks would ask How muchf'

Once-enOugh to kill four men or more.
1.-THE bodily effects of cocaine are
peculiar and powerful. With marvellous
quickness the injected fluid reaches he
heart, making it leap and beat with
great rapidity. The blood seems to boil
along the arteries. Precipitation Is

the face and a slight numbness is
noticed throughout the entire skin. The
most marked effect, however, is a ter
rible restlessness and desire to GO
