Rochester. N. r., September 15ASub-' ordinating all personal anmosities and needing the earnest plea of the national chairman for harmony in the interest of success for the presidential ticket at the polls in November. the warning fac tions of the New York state democracy tonight agreed to pull together, and all chance of friction in the state conven- tion has been swept away. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, when told that w. J. Bryan himself was anx- ious that peace be established, agreed to withdraw all opposition to Senator Me- Carrens delegates in contested Brook lyn districts. The upstate leaders in their scattering contested districts also agreed to Compromise matters. pending the November election, and the threaten ing clouds of discord gave way to a programme of harmony, which will pave the way for what is planned to be a notable welcome to the presidential can didate, who will address the convention tomorrow night.
 The question of the nomination for gov ernor Is still unsettled. The leaders de- voted all of the day to the straightening out of the contests and gave little or no heed to the probable head of the ticket. There still remains the impression that the candidate ultimately decided upon may be man whose name has not vet been mentioned, but surface indications continue to point to Lieutenant Governor Chanler. He Is the man who has defi- nite strength which the leaders cannot and do not desire to ignore, while the delegates-at-large really do not know be- tween whom the issue lies. Leader Mur- phy continues to state that the Tam many delegation Is committed to no one. although several names have been sug- gested in the hope of testing the true sentiment of the great body of dele gates.
 The ever-changing tide of gossip set toward D. Cady Herrick again tonight. but there was no greater impetus to the movement than was in evidence two days ago. MT. Murphy has been anxious to get the opinion of the upstate leaders as to the strength of Lieutenant Cover nor Chanler as a campaigner against 1oNcih iiuBicS. II ue CdH De con- vinced on this point the friends of Mir Chanler believe that the latter's nomina- ton will be beyond the question of 8 doubt.
 State Chairman Connors tonight said there had been no change from this morn ing when he predicted MT. Chanler's nom ination on the first ballot. The opposi- tion to the lieutenant governor is still casting about for a candidate.
 The governorship probably will be de- cided upon sometime tohlorrow morning A settlement of the threatening condi- tions was effected at harmony con ference" participated in by National Chairman Mack, State Chairman Con nors and Tammany Leader Murphy When the committee on contested seats met tonight in adjourned session there was little to do but to ratify the de- cisions agreed upon earlier in the day.
 The first session of the convention, which lasted less than an hour today, gave no hint of the friction which had been so freely predicted. Leader Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall and Sem ator McCarren of Brooklyn, sat directly across the aisle from each other, and there were opposing demonstrations by their adherents when they entered the hall.
 conference of the leaders this morn ing delayed the convention until long past the hour set for assembling.
