Special Election Here Will

Taxpayers.
UPSTATE CUTS INTO
CONVENTION VICTORY
Political Leaders Say They Will
Put Best Men Forward
for Work.

Further returns received from upstate
counties yesterday indicated that the ma
tority in favor of the constitutional con-
vention might be cut down as low as
5000. All the rural districts showed ma
joritles against the convention, and the
vote in some OF these districts was larger
than at first estimated.
IL Will be several weeks before the Off
cial result is known. Under the law the
county boards OF canvassers must meet
within seven days after an election. With
in forty days after a special election the
Secretary Of State must call together tho
State Board of Canvassers 20 determine
the official result.
Complete returns from Westchester
County showed 4,552 for and APP against
the conventional majority Of $40 in favor
of the proposition.
With two small districts missing, the
vote In Suffolk County was 1.s32 for and
2,l56 against. When the two districts are
in, the majority against will probably be
about $50.
II is estimated that the special election
in this city cost about $4,000 on this
basis each one OF the 1oi.42 votes cast
cost the taxpayers g 46.
o. 3. Phillips. acting chairman OF the
Progressive State Committee, in state
ment last night claimed credit for the
constitutional convention for that party.
IF the early revision of the constitu-
ton had not been made an issue by the
Progressives in the 1912 campaign" he
said many imperative changes In our
fundamental law would have had 70 wait
several years"
Speaking OF the election OF delegates,
Mr.. Phillips said the Progressives were
pledged TO work to see that only such
men became delegates as were "actuated
by the spirit Of modern human progress.
NO ornarsental fossils should find place
among the delegates" he added.
William Church Osborn, chairman OF
tho Democratic State Committee, said he
would take up the selection of candidates
for delegates with the various county
chairmen on his coming trip through the
state.
