New York, Aug. 14-In a ten min utes. session today, the Democratic State Committee adopted resolution which endorses the candidacy of Will liam Jennings Bryan aSd J. w. Kern. and comments the platform adopted at Denver. a3d it voted to have the Demo- cratic State convention. which will Rochester, September 15.
 The mention of Bryan's name in the convention was met with an outburst of applause in which Charles Murphy. the Tammany leader, Joined.
 The committee adjourned to meet on the evening of the State Convention in Rochester, when the temporary chair man will be selected.
 In connection with the meeting of the Democratic State Committee. the prin- cipal feature of which was the issuance of call for State Convention to nom- mate for State officers, Chairman w. J. Corners, had invited the chatrmen of the various county committees for general exchange of views on the po- Iitical situation, and the invitation was quite generally accepted. Prior to the assembling of the State Committee. Chairman Corners stated positively that the convention will be held in Rochester,, September IS.
 ''The temporary chairman" MT. Con- ners added, twill not be selected until the next meeting of the State Commit tee, which will be held at Rochester, September 1l, to which date today's meeting will probably be adjourned. The Republicans have named their chairman in advance, because they have a hard road to travel. There is no necessity of our naming our chair man until near convention time"
 MT. Corners was asked about the situation in the country and replied;
 William Jennings Bryan will carry New York by from 75,000 to 1OO,O0O. Bryan is tAe strongest Democrat in New York today We will carry Erie Niagara, Chenango, and about fifteen or sixteen other counties. Kings coun- ty will roll up big majority and other borouEhs of Greater New York may be depended upon to add sui ffcent Democratic plurality to wipe out the Republican majority up state. In my opinion whoever is nominated by the Republicans will not carry the State above the Bronx.
 The following resolutions were pre- sented to the meeting:
 .aThe state committee of the Demo- cratic party of the State Of New York in meeting assembled. cordially ratifies approves and endorses the action of the national convention at Denver ir selecting as the StanOAFu DedESES VI Luz party m Ahe national campaign William J. Bryan of Nebraska and John w Kern of Indiana. We, believe that MT Bryan stands out among all the public men of the country as the embodiment of honesty. integrity, patriotism and the other qualities which go to make ur an ideal American statesman and that in Mir. Kern he has a worthy running mate and one who sizes up well to the great office of vice president. We strongly commend the platform adopted at Denver and believe that 1t well sets forth the principles of progressive democracy"
 I'm the face of great extravaganee of the present Republican administra- tion and of it's plain disregard for the best interests of the people. we see on, every side evidences of Democratic harmony and we call on the voters Of the state of New York regardless of narty to rally to the support of Bryan and Kern and take part in carrying the ticket to victory this fall"
