the New York delegates this morning.

after the convention had gone into ses-
sion. Knowing as he did that he con
trolled the situation for Clark in the eau
Gus. Murphy let the various delegates
EXPRESS their feelings freely. The talk
did not develop any change in senu-
ment. Although no regular poll was
made. IL was estimated that the nineteen
Wilson delegates were still for him, the

a. new piece-one that he had not even

Hard Blow to Hearst's Plans.
The defeat Of Champ Clark will be n
blow to the political aspirations Of Will
lam Randolph Hearst On account Of
his attacks on Governor Wilson in his
newspapers he can expect no considera-
ton from him. On the other hand. he
had arranged a combination with Boss
Murphy by which. II Clark were nomi-
mated, the Independence League should
toin hands with the Tammany organiza-
ton in the naming of candidates for the
New York Senate and Assembly this fail.
Such an arrangement looked good TO
him. and he felt that he would be able
TO swing not little political influence
in the state
Some of the Tammanyites go so far
as 10 say that Hearst had hopes that
POSSIBLY he might be chosen to run for
Governor on the Democratic ticket in
return for his support Of Clark. But
all these dreams have vanished.
