 UNITY OF PARTY
New York G. O. P. Conven- ton Meets As Does Also the Hamilton Club in Chi cago.

NEW YORK, April S.-Respondipg to pleas that crisis confronts both the Republican party and the country. and that the national situation ought to take precedence over factional dis putes, the newly elected Republican state convention. at a meeting today to effect organization, has elected as chairman. Frederick C. Tanner of this city. The results are regarded by the chairmsn's friends as adding strength to the movement favoring Supreme Court Justice Chas. r. Hughes of the presidency and toward. for Cover nor. Charles H. Whitman.
 No candidat, e,s prss sideut was mentioned either by speakers or in d resolution.
 This memorial urged the nomination of a Tried Republican, in whose re- cord and character the cantion can rely as a guarantee for wise states manship in the management of for eign and domestic affairs"
 Mir. Tanner later indicated that per sonallys he was opposed to Theodore Roosevelt, but he would not make know preference between Justice Hughes and Mir.
