Rochester, N. Y, Oct. John A.
Dix, state chairman Of the Democratic
committee and the choice Of Charles
Il. Murphy, the Tammany boss, was
nominated for governor by the Demo
cratic convention, held here. He re-
ceiyed 434 votes, while his opponent,
Congressman William A. Sulzer, re-
ceived only 16.
The delegates were sitting In anxious
suspense when Charles f. Murphy
came into the hall with Cohalan, Cram,
sheehan, Morgan J. O'Brten and Finu-
cane Of Monroe. Everybody was up
In an instant.
The band let go with a crash, "T'am-
many"
Eyes were intent on Murphy
In came "Fingy' Corners with the
broadcast of grins-
There were cheers a moment later
for Alton B. Parker. and Permanent
Chairman Herbert p, Bissell slammed
the gaveI which brought the onven
ton to order.
There was little confusion In the
hail. and the great was marvel
ously quiet. The policing was first
class, and Sergeant at Arms Charley
White made a record for efficiency.
Seymour Van Santvoord Of Rensse-
laer put Dix In nomination.
I'VE have adopted q platform which
stands for the higher aspirations of
the principles in which we believe,
and we come to the moment when we
want a man who will measure up to
those principles" he said. 1--WE don't
want one who will not live up to those
principles. The whole state and the
nation also is waiting to hear.
81 think that the man / name, John
A. Dix, will make for Justice and sim
cerity.
we have got a bitter fight, q fight
against the most marvellous institution
that this world has ever seen and who
is supposed to be a man of genius. but
don't forget hat sometimes genius Is
sometimes allied with insanity. Let
us make a real fight against this
Dutchmau."
After Thomas M. Osborne had sec
onded the nomination J.. William San
bury of Chautauqua rose in the mid
die of the floor and said that he wish
ed to place In nomination a man who
had the admiration of all the counties
of the state. He placed In nomination
William Sulzer.
The cheers for Sulzer were louder
and more prolonged than those for
DIX. From the balconies banners
were flown out, while the band start
ed playing "For He's a Jolly Good
Fellow"
Charles It. Murphy when he heard
the motion leaned back in his seat
and laughed heartily.
The regeneration of the state COM
mittee was recognized by the eonven-
ton, which voted IT the unusual power

nate men to fiji any vacancies which
might from death, disability or
other cause next year, instead of sub
hitting the choice to a convention.
