He May Choose
SYRACUSE ON EDGE
WITH EXPECTANCY
Statement Given Out Says
Murphy Has Man Select

Known Candidate
~ JAMES ]. MONTAGUE.

SYRACUSE n. ", Sept "a DoWi-
Ing can win. GIynn can win. Dix
cannot win.
This sentiment sariously expressed
by a score OF leaders and hundred
yention was dinned into the ears of
Charles +. Murphy when he brought
the New York delegation into town
at 10 20 eisek tonight
Ii had been tho thnme ef converse
tion through the day. Enough lead
ers were here to make Ii important.
and the general conviction that TO
nominate Dix will be seriously TO jeop-
ardixe the State ticket was vastly
strengthened by the news that Gov
- eEHsf~ Wilson - as~ against him, and
strongly for bowling.
BY all save Thomas Osborne. Of Au-
burn. the bowling candidacy was held
to be tho best possible solution of the
difficulty in which the party has been
temporarily placed by Mnrphy's advo-
eacs OF Dix.
In Murphy's Hand.
Osborne Is as much against Bowling
aa he is against ftf&. But together
with every body else who liz familiar
with the situation. he admits that
Murphy can name whom he chooses.
The entire opposition to Murphy
mus;ers siSty-thres delegates. os
borne figures ia IL as leader. 80
does Stephen Ryan, Of Chenango. Both
attended the Rochester conference OF
anti Murphy Democrats. and they in
& tend 10 pull tegesss.Sfsere- Including
their sixty three who viii stand with
them IL the end. there are l2a dele
gates who will vote against Murphy
unless he does things TO suit them.
Most of these will accept bowling
now that Wilson has practically de-
ciared for him. 1t was a surprise To
naest Of the leaders already or post
when Ii was discovered that Sena-
Ter 0ftS0rfffaH had come Clip on tho
same train with Murphy. O'Gorman
viii be an important figure In the con-
yemiion. If he elects to SIT In with q
proxy. and take personal charge OF
the Bowling candidacy. he Will be
commanding figure. Such an attitude.
backed up by the overwhelming senti-
relt against DIX, will enable him In
all proha biliiv 10 make DINE nonina
ton impossible, and perhaps start
something which will make Tuesdays
convention Hot more Embossed than

Say IT'S Blind.
Assuming that Murphy's declaration
FIR Dix IL "A blind and determined to
oppose any candidate whom he fav-
ors. they gave out the following state
ment which was signed by Henry r.
Keith. OF Nassau, Charles F. Ratti-
gan. of cayuga- and stephen Ryan, OF
Chenango.
stMr. Charles f. Murphy does no,
fntend 70 renominate Governor Dix.
il he did intend To renominate him.
he could not. because he cannot con-
troll the convention for that purpose.
The convention is his for all other
a purpose. He can nominate any other
ono man for governor, The question
being asked by practically every dele
gate here tonight IS Who is Murphy's
man The same question was asked
by the delegates during three long
days and nights at Rochester two
z years ago. and the answer came only
after Nj. Murphy opened room NUM-
