Everything Was Undecided, Not to
Say Chaotic, When Democratic
State Convention Recon-
vened Today
DIX and PARKER MENTIONED
Former Unwilling Aspirsnt, But Prob
ably Would Accept Nomination IL
Promised Support Of Others
In the Field.

Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 30.-Every-
thing was undecided, not to say cha
otic, when the democratic state conven-
ton was called to order today for the
second session an hour and a half af-
ter the appointed time. The confer
ences that lasted through most of the
night, and all morning, TO settle upon
a candidate fore the governorship had
been fruitless. except as they brought
into view as possible nominees John
A. Dix, chairman of the state COM
mittee, and Judge Alton b. Parker
Dix is not willing candidate. but
there were indications that could he
be assured of the support of those
avowedly in the field for the nomina-
tlon he would accept.
Parker's attitude is even less clearly
defined. The committee on resolu-
tions was held up awaiting a deci-
SION of the question of selecting a
gubernatorial candidate.
Parker as temporary chairman call
ed the convention to order. A perm
anent organization was effected with
Herbert p. Bissell, of Buffalo, chair
man. Bissell Immediately took the
platform and addressed the conven-
ton.
His speech was devoted largely to a
denunciation Of Republican extrava-
gance and the new tariff. He de-
clared for reform of governmental
) abuse; for nationalism as exempiiied
in the achievements of Jefferson
Lincoln. and Cleveland, and opposed
the dangerous tendency to further
the Capitalization of power In the Ma
tional government"
