Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 3O.-Two
hours after the hour scheduled for the
last session of the democratic state
convention nearly 400 delegates wait
ed in their seats at convention hall
tonight for the leaders to find can.
didate for second place on the ticket.
John A. Dix Of Washington county,
chairman of the state committee, had
been chosen as the nominee for gov
ernor an hour before and the other
places on the ticket had been settled
to the apparent satisfaction of those
who gathered in the rooms Of Chas.
F. Murphy, the Tammany leader. early
in the evening.
The question of Dix's running mate
and some lingering doubt as to wheth-
er Martin H. Glynn of Albany would
accept a denomination for comptroller
still kept the conference away from
the hall and delayed it's opening.
John A. Dix tonight yielded to the
solicitation of the leaders and agreed
to run.
The test of the slate was speedily
arranged and announced to the group
waiting outside the conference room.
1t was Mr.. Conway who was re-
luctant to accept the nomination and
he said so. For half an hour the
leaders argued with him until finally
he left them and went to consult his
friends. It was said that he felt that
his county was too near that of Mr..
Dix to make him a logical choice.
The story Of how Mr.. Dix was Sc
lected was the story of the second day
of the convention. Other events, the
