Central lawyer. seems confident there
will be a bipartisan judicial ticket

Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the days. Developments was the Sui
ger boom. Sulzer has been as busy
around the corridors as Senator O'Gor-
man, who, at odd moments has rested
from framing a platform by trying to
seem a good mixer-in a silk hat and
| long coat. His Is the only top hat 10
appear in this convention so far and
| is notable.
| Suffers boom as Il has appeared this
day is somewhat different from the
| Sulzer booms Of other years.
AS usual, the Representative has
some delegates pledged TO him. AS u.s.

J minute II the Big Boss winked. But
| nobody seems certain this time that the
| Big Moss Is going to wink. Tammany

a considerable upstate following; they
know ne would not carry his radical

the Republicans could nominate JOB

should not nominate Sulzer.
Sulzer himself tells his friends that
1t is all up to Murphy. He knows he

Ing the nomination IL the chief Is
against him, but he does not believe,
on ANYTHING he has heard up TO date,
that he is out of the running.
Glynn Boom Attracts Attention.
The Glynn boom Is receiving lot OK
attention from persons who believe Dix
is out Of the running, and some COM
paratively dark horse Will be selected.
| Glynn is regarded as a good bet, be-
cause he will come into prominence
through making the Keynote speech
as temporary chairman. Moreover, his
character Is such that the anti-Murphy
men. while talking fight from the drop
NJ the hat" decided they would not
| fight him.
II became necessary for Governor DIX
to contradict to-day story that he
\ had retired from the fight. and that
friend here had letter refusing
| denomination, which was to be pro-
duced at the proper time. Dix was
! called on the telephone. He denied the
! story emphaticaily.
| .J am In this contest TO the end" he
said. IT shall retire neither for my
enemies nor my friends

others who are Democrats on Election
Day at long intervals. But the ONCE

Of statements.

honesty and efficiency in administra-
ton. II is q record Of constructive and
progressive legislation not surpassed by
that OF any state executive in the
union. The attacks are aimed at the
| Governor because he Is loyal and
militant Democrat who has refused to
divide his party and repudiate its lead
