ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Sept. 30.-The
fight for control of New York state
Ii to be fought out on national Is
sues. The high cost of living and
the operation of the tariff bill will be
the real issue raised by the Demo,
Gratis In their convention here to de-
feat Roosevelt's nominee, Stimson.
This was decided on at q confer
ence early today of the various lead
ers which was attended by Charles
f. Murphy, Alton b. Parker, State
Chairman John A. Dix and several
others. They spent considerable time
framing the tariff plank. 1t was
agreed that 1t should be radical in
tone, but also that it should discuss
at great length the tariff question.
The message of Grover Cleveland,
written in 1881, in which he insisted
that "A tariff for revenue only" was
the salvation Of the country, was
agreed on by the platform commit
tee.
Herbert p Bissell, In his speech as
permanent chairman OF the conven-
ton today, attacked what he called
Republican extravaganza, and blamed
the tariff for the high cost of living.
He complimented Gov. Hughes on
the moral effect" of his administra-
ton, but declared that in the moral"
fight the administration had lost
sight OF economy and had INDUCED in
reckless extravaganza. He declared
the same situation had obtained In
the national administration under the
''strenuously spendthrift rule of
Rooseveltism and its feeble proxy,
Taftism."

Judge

Everything Is happy once again. F"
sang Morris Cohen, halter, ia South
Broadway, as he emerged from Judge
Herveys courtroom yesterday after
Sadie Cohen, his wife, had been granted
a decree of divorce.
Cohen contested the suit because a
division of the property was involved.
and several times his utter lack Of re-
spect for court dignity nearly resulted
in the imposition of fine or sentence
to the county Jail.
"Oh, what a lie"' he exclaimed after
one of his wife's statements from the
witness stand, and "Oh, you liar!"
he almost shouted in criticism of the
remark of another witness. Cohen's
accusations of untruthfulness became
SO frequent that Judge Hervey COM
PEELED him TO leave the courtroom, and
he remained outside until few mo-
ments before the decree was granted,
when he emerged, singing and laughing.
A decree was granted to Harriet
