Ne7o York Democrats
To Vote For Gaynor

NEW YORK, April 11.--An unin-
structed delegation pledged by reso-
luton TO vote as a unit on all sub
jects. and certain TO carp out the
will OF Boss Charles f. Murphy, OF
Tammany Hall will represent the en-
pire state at the Baltimore conven.
ton. This was determined by the
Democratic state convention here to-
day. Murphy was accepted as state
leader. and the delegates, after nam.
ing the congressional district and
big Four" delegations TO Baltimore,
adopted a platform assailinS Presi-
dent Taft for his vetoes of the varf'
Gus bills reducing the tariff and laud-
ing the action OF the Democratic
house of representatives.
The leaders agreed that the conven-
ton was TO be one-day affair. Fol
loving the rule of the state commit
tee, the various congressional dis
trict delegations met first and elected
their representatives TO Baltimore.
For the most part these were the men
selected by the conferences that fol-
lowed the recent primaries. The slate
for the big Four" had been prepar-

Tammany chief, of course. will be
chairman of the state delegation and
will vote the entire representation at
all times.
There was much discussion or
presidential booms among the dele
gates and II was accepted as fact
that New Yorks choice at Baltimtre
will be Mayor Gaynor. He will get
the state vote on the first ballot, and,
while the general impression was
that the vote for the mayor would be
purely complimentary. some of the
old. time leaders insisted that Murphy
might, although he Is not personally
friendly TO the mayor, fight for him
seriously.
Friends of Gaynor told the dele.
gates earnestly that he was the real
choice of William Jennings Bryan
who seldom comes TO New York with
out visiting Gaynor Murphy, as usual
said nothing and not even his init
mates have the slightest idea who he
favors.

CAN'T RUN BEER GARDEN,
WOULD BE ALDERMAN

They wouldn't let me have a IL
cense to conduct a beer garden in
Springwells, so think / Will run
again for alderman in Detroit said
Albert +. Gadde to The Times.
Gadde was a Republican alderman
for two terms from the Sixteenth
ward and still lives in the ward. He
leased beer garden in Springwells
and had intended to go into the sa-
loon business, but the trustees OF
Springwells township refused to grant
him license. hence Gadde's deter
mination to come back to the Detroit
council.
Gadde says the township trustees
refused him a license because they
are trying TO keep down the number
OF saloons and not on account OF any
personal animosity against him.
