The resolution adopted by the con

man and his administration was not
what the Whitmen men wanted. II was
a desutory victory they won in OBJ
tanning the commendatlon ms a separate
resolution instead Of in the prepared
ness plan Of the platform, which
they fought for. They had framed a
resolution Of their own Of unqualified
Endorsement" which was turned down.
This is what they wanted:
I'VE unqualihedly indorse the ad-
ministration Of Governor Whitman and
the Republican party in this state. and
the entire Republican administration.
which has been efficient, economical
and honest"
This is what they got:

Of chaos. disorder and extravaganza,
the Republican party was returned to
power m the State Of New York. Order
and efficiency have been restored. con-
structive legislation has been enacted
and our state government has been
placed in a position where the orderly

Governor Whitman particularly for the
courage with which he has faced The

adequate public knowledge and discus

The friends Of Governor Whitman
last night accepted the resolution as
satisfactory Endorsement. Some OF the
leaders said that the Whitman sup
porters had actually got more than mad

resolution at Albany last night, CO.

and justified" Some Of the old guard
leaders in the convention, however,
were inclined 10 look upon as pat on

which would carry the full appreciation
OF good and faithful servant
The suggestion Of an Endorsement of
the Whitman administration first came

designated at to-day's convention met
and discussed the advisability OF de-
claring a preference. Early in the
conference 1t became apparent that II
would not be proper TO take any ac-
tion without first consulting Governor
Whitman. So we have been trying to
arran,e meeting with him, and hope
TO be able 10 DO so. II may take sew
eral days"
MIR Tanner was little more explicit
than Senator Wadsworth in his state
ment Of what took place at the con
ference. He indicated that he and his
conferrees had decided on a preference,
but he did not specifically mention Mr..
Roots name IL IL known, however,

ference, "but no statement will be
given out until we have had an oppor-

the Lotos Club following the first ses-
sion Of the convention on Tuesday
night. The advance Whitman resolu-
ton was presented az the meeting, and
Speaker Thaddeus {. Sweet led the
hght for the Governor, insisting that
the resolution be incorporated m the
preparedness plank of the platform as
eXemplifying in his administration what
the plank on national preparedness
called for. The resolution was lost m
the subcommittee by vote Of to 2.
The other members Of the suO-cOm

was decided by the same vote that any
commentator or praise Of the state
administration should not be attached

Then the alternag resolution was
drawn and the whole matter presented
for consideration to the whole commit

forenoon.

members OF the Big Four" received
the entire hfty-one votes Of the con-
mittee. and Senator Wadsworth hav-

precedent, will probably head the New
York delegation TO the national con
vention. The Governor friends want
ed 10 see him IN that place.
Mr. Barnes was one OF the last dele
gates to leave the convention hall after
adjournment yesterday. When asked
to comment on the results Of the con
vention, he said:
81 don't care TO comment on the re
suits. They speak for themsel Ives.
The lights had been lowered before
Barnes left. As he passed through a
side door with his friend. Alexander
Otis. he looked back at the empty hall
and was heard to remark:

The Endorsement Of ex-senator Root
followed a day in which William Barnes
and other supporters Of Mr.. Root had
met with many rebuifs. Barnes had
confidently expected 10 bring about an
Endorsement of the ex-Senators can
didacy first in the committee on reso-
lutions and later by the convention.
He lost out in each OF these attempts
because OF the opposition of the forces
OF Governor Whitman. The Governors
friends were jubilant over what they
believed TO be their success in pre-
venting al Endorsement OF Senator
Root when they heard Of Barnes's
latest coup, however, they were dunn
founded.
Endorsement of Mr. Root was not
brought up on the floor Of the conven-
ton. A resolution indorsing him, how
ever. was introduced In the committee
on resolutions by John A. Sleicher. II

Thompson Wins for Barnes.


Thompson, head Of the investigating
committee, 20 carry the plans OF
Barnes to completion lie held the de-
Gliding vote in the committee and had
been a consistent supporter OF Sena-
tor Elon K. Brown. the Republican lead
er Of the Senate. Six ballots we're
taken. each one without result, as TO
choice for The fourth place on the Big
Four
From the first ballot Senator Wads-
worth and State Chairman Tanner. with
the entire 81 votes. and Governor Whit
man. with 40 votes. were certain TO be
named. Two delegates from this city re-
fused TO vote for the Governor. For the
last place, however. David Jayne Hill
and William Berri, of Brooklyn. had %
votes each. and Senator Brown only
one. 1t was apparent that Senator
Thompson was anxious TO even up some
old scores with Governor Whitman, and
that this was his opportunity.
After the fifth ballot however, SEN
ator Thompson grew restless. Look
ing up Barnes, he told him that unless
he swung his delegates TO Senator
Brown he Thompson would vote for
Mr.. Hill. OF course. Barnes was only
too happy 10 acquiesce in the demand
On the sixth ballot Mr.. Bern was
eliminated and the vote stood: Brown,
26: Hill. 25. That ended the fight, and
the selection of Senator Brown was
made unanimous.
When the fight in the committee on
delegates started the Whitmen men
were confident that they controlled
twenty-six of the ffty-one members Of
the committee and that their slate
would go through. IL consisted OF the
names Of Governor Whitman, Senator
Wadsworth, William Berri and David
JAYNE Hill. When the committee fin
ished its work the egates-at-large
designated were Senator Wadsworth,
Governor Whitman. State Chairman
Tanner and Senator Brown.
The whole fight was one OF the most
eventful and stirring in the annals OF
the Republican party in this state.
The pulling, the hauling. the cajoling
and the threatening with which each
side subjected the delegates TO yield in
itself makes a most interesting story.
After it was all over the Whitman
men privately confessed defeat The
convention had made 1t plain that the
Republicans in this state did not rec
ognize Governor Whitman as their
leader. The Governors confidence in
his denomination next fall has been
shaken. He may again be the Repub-
lican candidate Tor Governor, but 70 do

that that situation would have CON

"The farmer to-day, who is receiving
