Captain Jowitt, most OF whom were en-

BOSS MURPHY TOOK HIS
TIP FROM GOV. WILSON
It Was Wilson'S Opposition
That Eliminated Dix From
the New York Race
BY RALPH SMITH.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-Suiting his ac-
ton to the words of a popular cam
paign song, Tammany Boss Charles F.
Murphy has taken "a tip from Wilson"
with the result that the contest for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination
at the Syracuse convention is anybody's
fight. The New York newspapers this
morning. indicate that Governor Dix is
hopelessly out of the running and that
Congressman William Suffers boom
looks the most formidable.
The nominee. whoever he may be,
will be an Embossed candidate. and will
be the choice of majority Of the del
egates. acting freely and individually.
Murphy has agreed to abrogate the
time honored unit rule. by which it has
been possible for Tammany to perpet'
uate its power in state conventions.
This means that the delegates from
New York and Brooklyn will vote as
individuals and not as unit. So en-
couraging 10 genuine Democratic hope
were the incidents that marked the
convention yesterday. that Senator
OGorman. the personal representative
of Gov Woodrow Wilson expressed to-
day the belief that the situation is
clearing up in very satisfactory shape
to both state and national leaders"
SULZER NOT. CERTAIN.
While the magnitude of the clamor
made by the supporters of Congress
man Sulzer seem to indicate that he
has a larger convention following than
any other candidate for the nomination.
it is not improbable that some other
man will win out.
Many of the leaders do not take
kindly to Sulzer and the names of SUI
preme Court Justice Victor J. Bowling
Martin H. Glynn. of Albany: Supreme
Court Justice John W. Gerard and
Charles e Theman figure prominently
as possibilities. In addition there are
a score or more of dark horses in the
field.
Mayor Gaynor's name is beig pushed
by friends of the New York city ad-
ministration. They are said to be just
as serious as they were at Baltimore,
when they frightened everybody with
their presidential boom for Gaynor. As
one time Democratic presidential nom
inee, figures prominently in the SYRIA
cuse convention.
PARKERS FIGHT.
At Baltimore Parker's candidacy for
temporary chairman precipitated a
fight that caused a lineup between the
progressive and reactionaries. At Syr-
acuse. Parker is again a candidate, this
time for permanent chairman and
again the progresives are making
fight on him. Parker won. at Balti-
more, but it was an empty victory for
the reactionaries. .......- L ... ....
He may win at Syracuse but his
election will mean nothing because it is
settled beyond all question that a pro-
gressive gubernatorial candidate viii
be named
WHERE WILSON STANDS.
Governor Wilson has no candidate
for the New York nomination, he has
never expressed a preference but has
insisted only that the candidate ana
platform shall be progressive. The

DON 7 PULL OUT
THE CRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of a Simple
Remedy Will Bring Back .
the Natural Color

'Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take its place" is an old saving.
which is, to a great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear it is sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Natures
call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless
hair, or hair that is falling out, is not
necessarily a sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads Of hair without a
single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems TO be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepara-
tons to use is the old-fashioned dsage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep
aration OF domestic sage and sulphur.
scientifically compounded with later dis.
covered hair tonics and stimulants, the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean anc
wholesome and perfectly harmless. II
refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandruff and gradually restores fadec
or gray hair to its natural color. o
SDon't delay another minute. Star
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur a,
once and see what difference a few
DAYS treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and Il
recommended and sold by all druggists.

in big letters.
Bachelors came. From Belgium one
hundred signed the golden book, an
act of registering their presence
merely, as was carefully explained to
them. Twenty-four registered from
Paris, three from Bordeaux, five from
Lyons. three from London A Mexi-

Ecaussines, in the presence of the
mothers and good women, the ''re-
pentant bachelors made such pro-
gress that the matrimonial register,
kept by the Able Ouseau, shows ten
marriages as the direct result!
Succeeding years have given better
organization alike to the general fete
and the quasi-private lunch for those
who sign themselves "repentant bach

No one is hustled no one is inti-
mated, and the phrase thrown out by
Marie Ghende in the first poster:
Every man in the world who wants
to marry is welcome,'- has become
the motto of the undertaking

the original invitation in 1902 every

strange spectacle-a monster matrl-
