Democrats OF the State

IS DIRECT PRIMARY PLANK
Charles F. Murphy Continues to Hold
the Whip Hand as to the Man Who
Shall Head the Ticket for tho
GOycrnorship.

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 30.-The
delegates to the Democratic state
convention today faced a situation
without parallel in the history Of the
party. With the second and suppos-
edly concluding session of the con-
vention set for 1 o'clock this after
noon, the leaders started the day
without even the semblance Of a stats
and with no less than fifteen names
under consideration for first place ON
the ticket.
The conferees who met with
Charles F. Murphy at Hotel Seneca
last night discussed the relative mer.
its of these fifteen candidates for
nearly three hours and iinaIIy ad-
journed at 2:30 o'clock this morning
without being able to agree.
The only definite result of the gath
ering. which was attended by thirteen
of the most prominent Democrats
here, was the endorsement of the di-
rect primaries plank which will be
one of the three leading features of
the platform. This plank will read az
follows:
1--WE favor a statewide direct prim-
ary to insure to the people the right
to select political committees and to
nominate public officers"
1t was at the close Of the meeting
in Murphy's rooms, and after several
of the conferees had left, assuring the
newspaper men that the question Of
the head of the ticket was still un-
settled, that Secretary Thomas f.
Smith of Tammany hall came out
carrying a typewritten sheet.
THE situation" he said, "has mar
rowed to two Names" Then he read:
"Alton B. Parker, Edward M. Shep-
herd. John A. Dix, James S. Havens.
D. Cady Herrick, Martin H. Glynn,
Justice James Gerard, Herman Rid
der, William Sulzer, Justice Victor.
J. Bowling, Herman A. Metz, Martin
]. Keogh, John S. Bensel, Thomas M.
Osborne and E. Howard Hutchinson"
'Is it a joke?" asked a newspaper
man. NO." replied Smith. Its true.
They discussed every one Of them"

Misuse Of Army Uniform Resented by

GERS in Washington applaud Gen.
Funston's action in Kansas City yes
terday in withdrawing his patronage
from hotel where the belboys were
clad In uniforms which the general
thought were those of captain in
the United States army.
1t Is a matter of regret to the war
that it has not been pos
sible to secure legislation that will
prevent the use of the army uniform
by persons not in the service. Sever
al attempts have been made in that
direction but an obstacle always has
been found in the fact that the gov
eminent itself sells large quantities

Consul General Arnold Sbsnklin of Mexico City. sends the following con cerning the centennial exposition in Mexico:
 Mexico is arranging to celebrate the centennial of her independence; the location of the buildings and the objective point will be at Puebla. few hours railroad ride ouf of Mex ica City A national committee has been formed with ose Cssarin as sec retary. whose office is in Mexico City. A great deal of enthusiasm has been shown and the national committee estimates that s250.ooo gold will be raised in Mexico City alone. The committees arc already busy arrang ing for caring for the large crowd that is expected to arrive here. and they have posted bills on the streets asking that residents who are willing to rent rooms during the exposition ,o advise the committee.
 While there are many comnIodioUs hotels hero. the committee believes the crowd will be far greater than .he hotels can accommodate.
