Mr Boot was received with hearty cheers, and
as Congressman Serene E. Payne, OF Auburn,
and Senator John Rain of Ontario escorted
him 10 the platform the cheering and hand
clapping mingled with the band playing, My
Country. 'Ts OF Thee" Most of the audience
stood till the hymn finished.
Secretary Roots speech consumed a little less
than an hour ard half in delivery. The
speaker followed closely the text of the address
as prepared for publication, but shortened II
somewhat in actual delivery by the omission Of
explanatory portions of certain paragraphs,
making however, changes of a material
character
An amusing episode occurred when MIR. Root
repudiated the inference which hs attributed TO
Mr. Bryan, that TIC enormous popular majorit.
for the Republican national ticket in 1914 was
obtained by corrupt use OF money. The con-
yeutiorl was heartily cheering this sentiment
when the land broke out with the familiar
strains OF "Arrah. Go'wan. You're Only Foolin'. -
The crowd caught on almost instantly ana
began to laugh. Mt Root evidently did mot
recognize the Iune, and seemed perplexed and
even annoyed Ly the laughter. II quickly sub
sided and he proceeded.
Mr. Roots mention Of the name of President
Roosevelt evoked general cheering, which lasted
about one minute. This was soon followed b.
the name of Charles T. Hughes. The New York
City delegates Immediately led the cheering,
and il was general in that quarter Some of
the country districts joined and there were
groups here and there standing, shouting, way
ing hats and handkerchiefs. But Kings and
Albany sat grim and silent while the Hughes
enthusiasts cheored for a time little, but not
much less than that Of the greeting to the name
OF the President.
The demonstration which followed Secretary
Roots mention OF the name of Mr. Taft lasted
no, quite two minutes. and the participation
was general. the entire convention rising to join
in the cheering. while one of the banGs in the
gallery played The Star Spangled Banner" !"
The applause stopped when The band stopped

Saratoga, Sept. 15.-The anti Hughes men this
morning united tentatively on David Jayne Hill.
Ambassador 10 Berlin, as their candidate 10 beat
Governor Hughes The conference broke up at
215 a m. Great pressure was brought 70
bear on Herbert Parsons and Frederick Greiner,
the Buffalo leader TO get them into line for DIR.
Hill, but the effort failed.
Mr.. Parsons at the close of the meeting said
he was for Hughes, and believed he would be
nominated on the first ballot. Mr.. Greiner said
forty OF his ffty-nlne delegates would be for
Justice Woodward and nineteen for Hughes.
The opposition 10 Hughes figure they have $50
votes out Of 1908 against Hughes if they have
Parsons with them. Without Parsons they con-
cede that Hughes is likely win.

about the platform which the members of the
committee would have to discuss further before
incorporating them finally in the platform. IL
is understood however, that the platform Is
distinctly not Hughes platform
1t contains but slight mention of the Gov
ernor's anti-race betting legislation. The ques-
ton of direct nominations is touched on but
not decisively recommended.
Unless the platform as tentatively drawn is
amended before its adoption, it will contain a
strong recommendation for remedial primary
legislation.
At meeting of the subcommittee no member
made any strong effort to have what may be
termed Hughes planks inserted. 1t is under
stood that there was only lukewarm argument
for such planks Nor did any member of the
committee make real attempt to nave the rae
ing legislation heartily indoTsed.
The nersonneI of the subcommittee. which has
on il such men as Lou Payn, Job Hedges
and others strongly anti-Hughes, practically
made it certain from the start that the platform
in respect to the Governors planks would be
generally as stated in to-day's Tribune.
Hughes men are also decidedly in the minority
nm the main committee on resolutions. One Of
them in talking to Tribune representative to-
night said:
while the platform which will be sub
noitted to US by our subcommittee tomorrow
morning will not be what may be called
Hughes platform, nevertheless, l understand
that ii will be platform upon which the GOV
ernor can consistently stand and further. II
will be platform which will be hard for the
Democrats to pick weak points in Mr. Hedges

which would spell success

RESCUE CHINESE BURIED
BENEATH SAND BANK
Residents of Chinatown Rush to
Aid Workman Whose In
iurieS Are Serious

A high bank of sand under which
several Chinese workmen were exca-
waiting for a building at Stockton and
Clay streets caved in yesterday morn
ing and buried one of the workmen,
All Fook of 155 Waverly place, under
tons of earth.
All Chinatown was aroused by the
shrill cry for aid that went up from
his fellow laborers. In three minutes
scores Of men came running from all
quarters OF the district. Among them
were Chinese OF all degree and caste,
some in silks of great cost; but, re-
gardless of their clothes or positions.
they jumped into the excavation and
began burrowing with their hands into
the sand in an effort to dig it away.
For 90 minutes they worked before
one of them came upon a hand of the
unconscious workman. In another min
ute he had been dragged out and care
fully placed in an ambulance in which
he was rushed to the central emergency
hospital Three of the mans ribs were
broken and he was injured so seriously
internally that physicians say he prob
ably will die.
The injured man is said to have be-
longed to the Hip Sing tong. Despite
that fact, members OF other tongs were
Jealous in their efforts to rescue him.
