 All at Sea Over Governorship.
 The afternoon and evening discus sions among the delegates indicated tc old timers that not within their mem- ory were the republicans so bewilder- ed over the makeup of a state ticket The great contest was over the gov ernorship. Practically no attention was paid to names for the seven pres- idential electors These latter vii have to be chosen tomorrow after the state ticket is completed. There. are still four candidates for first placer Lieutenant Governor Blakeslee, Cover nor Studiey, Dr. George H. Knight and Judge Silas A. Robinson. Early 1T the afternoon the sentiment seemed tC be well divided between Judge Stud. ley and Dr. Knight, with Lieutenant Governor Blakeslee third. With tn: arrival of delegates generally larger Blakeslee following was evident, ana his manager. Senator Frank Woodruff who said he had about 150 delegates said the promises had gone up to PA and his confidence was unbounded

The mention of Mir. Lakes nam added to the uncertainty. The even ing saw the Blakeslee sentiment grow Ing. apparently, and his friends pre- dIcted his nomination on the first bal lot The managers of the three othe candidates, however. claim that pre- dictions are not based on correct fig ures and that more than one rollcal will be needed.
