Special to the Herald.
New York, March 1.-THE meeting
of the republican state committee in
this city today marks the real open
ing of the presidential campaign in
the Empire state. Pursuant to the
call of Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff
the committee went into session be-
hind closed doors this afternoon to
decide upon the time and place for
holding the state convention. The
state convention, in addition to NAM
ing four delegates-at-large to the ma
tional convention, will choose new
state committee which will conduct
the fall campaign.
Now that the general assembly at
Albany is nearing the close of it's ses-
sions there is nothing to prevent an
early convention, and it has been
practically decided upon to hold the
convention the second week of April
The convention will probably be held
in this city. The primaries to elect
delegates to the assembly district con-
ventions for the purpose of sending
delegates to the state convention,
which in turn is to elect the delegates
at large, are by law to be held the
last Tuesday in March, which this
year will be March 81. The same pri-
maries will elect delegates to the con-
gress district conventions
The congress districts are autono-
nous when it comes to choosing del
egates, SO that the state convention
will not be able to instruct more than
the four delegates at large. Whether
or not the delegates will be instructed

BOX CAR BLOWN OVER;
TWO DEAD, FIFTEEN HURT

Nine miles south of Hattiesburg on
the Mississippi Central railroad,
where a crew was engaged in con.
struction work, two negroes were
killed and fifteen others injured.
When the negroes saw the storm
coming they took refuge in box car,
which was blown from its trucks and
turned over. killing two outright and
wounding fifteen others. All of the
injured were brought to Hattiesburg
for treatment and 1t is probable that
three or four of them will die.
These negroes were all residents
of Hattiesburg and several OF them
who witnessed the cyclone we're seen
by reporter. Their attention was
first directed to falling leaves and
twigs, then to a roaring sound in the
northwest, from which direction the
storm came. 1t was several minutes
after they entered the box car before
the full force of the storm struck,
The two dead negroes were caugh
under the trucks of the car.
