Boom For N. Y. Mayor is Sweep
ing Party in Empire State and
Chances For Success Con-
sidered Bright
CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING
Members Convene at Saratoga to
Name Date and Place for State
Convertion-Probab Will
Be September 20

Saratoga. N. Y, Aug. 19.-The
members of the Democratic State
committee together with number of
other party leaders of prominence as
sembled at the Grand Union Hotel
here today to decide upon the time
and place for holding the State con-
vention. The indications are that Sar-
atoga, about September 20, will be de-
cided upon on for the gathering, al
though Buffalo, Rochester and Syr-
acuse are bidding for the convention.
Among those assembled for the
conference the opinion Is unanimous
that never has the Democratic out
look in New York been more hopeful.
The recent reorganization of the
state committee, the tendency of the
time leaders to Withdraw into the
background and the general trend of
public sentiment toward the Demo-
cratic standard has greatly cheered
the party leaders and given them
feeling of confidence in the results of
the November election.
The high cost of living, dissatis-
faction with the tariff and resentment
against the Republicans for alleged
mismanagement of State affairs are
cited by the Democrats as contribu-
tory causes that will insure n bitter
contest this fall, with the chances of
success favoring their party.
The evident harmony among the
Democrats this year, as contrasted
with divided position of the Republic
cans, is regarded by politicians of
both parties as of deep significance.
The majority of the Republicans are
ready to admit that their party Is
split almost as badly as II was In the
great stalwart- -half-breed feud, and
with little prospect at present of be-
ing able to get together before cleo

Gaynor is the Favorite

The Democrats appreciate the fact
that their hopes of success will be
greatly strengthened by the choice of
an able candidate for governor.
Should Mayor Gaynor of New York
city survives his wounds it would
seem almost certainty that he will
receive the gubernatorial nomination.
Democrat i'm New York, if not I'm the
entire country. and his name complet-
ely overshadows those of Havens and
others who have been mentioned as
possibilities to head the Democratic
ticket. The nomination will be made
cratic state politics i'm New York this
fall will have distinct bearing upon
Democratic national politics in 1912.
The boom for Gaynor for governor
may take such impetus now as to
sweep everything aside and result In
his denomination. In such event, the
belief is general. that the mayor
would accept the nomination.
With Gaynor nominated in such
manner, with harmony I'm the Demo-
cratic ranks, barring Hearsts oppo-
sition; with the Republicans split
into factions, and with the general
unrest and resentment of the people

VENICE HORSE HURLED
50 Fl. BY TROLLEY CARS

VENICE, Oct. Sired H. PAIL,
local dairyman, and three of his chill
dren experienced a narrow escape from
death or serious injury early this aft
ernoon when the horse which he was
driving was struck and killed by a Los
Angeles-PacifiC train at Fredericks
station. The animal was hurled go
feet by the impact and instantly killed,
but the occupants Of the milk wagon
to which 1t was attached came out
without a scratch. A remarkable fea-
ture Of the accident was the fact that
not milk bottle was broken, although
there were several dozen IN the wagon.
According to PAIL, he was returning
to his home in the eastern part Of the
city after making deliveries to his Gus
toners on the beach When he started
to cross the railway tracks at Fred
ericks a large automobile obstructed
his view and he failed to see an ap-
preaching three-car train, bound for
Venice. When he discovered the train
bearing rapidly down upon him, PAIL
attempted to pull the horse from the
track but was unsuccessful and the
animal was jerked entirely free Of
the wagon by the terrific force of the
collision. The milk wagon was turned
completely around, but remained up
right. The only damage done to the
vehicle was the breaking OF the shafts.
Pahl said the rails at this point are
considerably raised and this fact pre-
vented him from backing his rig to a
place of safety. Pahl, with his three
children, aged ten, five and three years
respectively, represented practically
his entire family. He was so affected
by his dangerous experience that he
was unable to discuss 1t at length to-
night.

The Sign

When you put sign on your
property it attracts more at
tention to itself than to the
house you desire to sell.
If the property is residence
and your object is to convince
a prospective buyer of the Sc
lect character of the neighbor-
hood, a sign certainly would
not be good taste.
On some kinds of property,
such as a vacant lot or a tum-
ble-down empty house near an
abandoned coal mine, a sign
would not detract from the
value of the land.
But it would not bring a
buyer out to see it. Something
else is required to let the buyer
know where your property is
located.

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. e.-After
searching for months the sheriff has
finally taken into custody Ross Ham
