Murphy's Gem Of Wisdom.

YOU get this gem Of wisdom:
"The convention will decide"

Law on him. Lockwood, Burns ana
Bensel are so likely to be scratched
that there are no bettors on them
1t IS indeed a trying situation for the
boss. and ne is discovering now. In his
hour Of triumph. that victory has lts
RESPONSIBILITIES which even the pros
meet of two years more OF state pluhuer
cannot make less burdensome. Abso-
into master Of the convention, he knows
there is Just enough OF a minority III
that body 10 stir up trouble II he does
not walk warily. Overlord OF the state
he knows he is unloved by the Presl-
Dental candidate OF his party. who IS
ONLY hesitating about fighting MIN pe-
cause ne needs votes and has not been
able TO catch Murphy sufficiently in the
wrong to warrant an oren attack on
the state boss under conditions likely
TO bind votes to him.
II is almost enough 10 make Murphy
carry out literally his stock declaration
about nominations--keep his hands on
and LET the convention decide the mat
ter. Indeed, there are some venture
some spirits abroad here who make
the solemn declaration that this Is what
will happen Others, more cynical,
believe there will be all the stage set
ting of an open and Embossed conven-
ton. but they cannot believe that this
gathering, so completely In Murphys
control will be permitted to do any
thing other than what he wants done.
And II anybody tonight knows what
that is, he is in a cyclone cellar.
Dix's Name To Be Presented.
Seemingly Governor Dix has been
retired. but Murphy won't say 80, and
until Murphy does say so the DIX
faithful, especially the officeholder
contingent. won't believe It, DIES
name will be presented to the conven-
ton in any case.
Ii seems to be the general opinion
tonight that New York County's 105
votes will be cast for Dix at least once
to make good Murphy's reiterated dec
laration that ne believed the Governor
deserved and would get denomination
II Dix, by the grace Of the boss,
should win denomination. II is entirely
probable that the state ticket would be
made up Just about as 1t was two years
ago. with Lieutenant Governor Con-
way off.
Leaving Dix out Of the situation. the

Dowling. Gerard and Sulzer, OF New
York City, and Glynn, Of Albany.
Sulzer has gone after this nominal
ton Just as Job Hedges went after
the Republican nomination. He has
conducted a systematic canvass of the
delegates. There is no question that he
is stronger with Them, and has more
actual support among them, than any
body else whose name has figured In
the convention talk. He has score OF
agents at work and headquarters in
half dozen places around town. His
agents are distributing more varieties
