Only one voice q protest was made
TO placing the rubber stamp Of the con-

ply, hand made in room 213 at the
Grand Union Hotel. 1t was that Of
Judge Samuel Seabury. the stormy
petrol Of the convention. who sitting on

Blast for Tammany Hail.
In vigorous speech the Judge, who
believes he was cut by Tammany when
he ran for Governor on the Democratic
ticket two years ago. gave high praise
to Mr. Smith. but declared he did not
believe Tammany Hall should control
the Democrats of the State.
Samuel Marx. Tammany leader of the
Seventeenth Assembly district. defended
that organization in a fiery speech in
which he said he was tired OF hearing it
called the lowest type OF Democracy in the
state and that Judge Seabury should be
thrown out OF the hall
The final vote on Governor was 440
for Smith. one-half vote for Osborn and
three present and not voting. These
three delegates from Putnam asked <o
be excused because OF the avowed in
tention of Mr.. Osborn of their county to
enter the primaries
Six delegates, three from Sullivan,
whose credentials had not been pre-
sented. and three from Genesee. who
we're out Of the hall at the time. were
not recorded. The total mem bership OF
the convention consisted OF three dele
gates. from each Assembly district or
$50 in all.
HeRrst's Name Not Mentioned,
The name of William Randolph Hearst
was not mentioned in the convention. II
had been evident for some time that he
had no support to speak of among the
leaders, and the temper of the audience
as indicated at the Tuesday session
made it apparent that the injection of
the editors name In the voting would
result in nothing except hard words for
him.
Patrick T. McCabe OF Albany had ar
ranged to have former Governor Glynn
present Mr.. Hearsts name to the con-
vention, II was understood. but late last
night w. v Cooke, who has been grad
ually edgng into the McCabe seat in
Albany county. told McCabe that If he
Hearst he would have the surprise Of
his life. that>he. Cooke. could deliver all
except McCabe and Gym for Smith,
Finally McCabe turned the delegation
over to Cooke and this morning put on
Smith badge. Mr.. Glynn left town
without attending the convention at all.
John II. McCooey of Kings stood
ready to deliver his votes to Hearst on
the first ballot, after which he would
have considered his obligation dis
charged. but he was too clever to per-
NIT himself TO get tied up to the Hearst
cause to the extent of putting the
editors name in nomination.
Have No FeaE of Hearst.
L. j. OReilly, the Hearst manager
had nothing to say after the convention
standing on his original statement that
the editor would be a candidate in the
primaries. The Democ-etic leaders say
they do not fear Mr.. Hearst. They are
convinced he will withdraw his petitions
by August i6. the last day II can be
done. But II he should really run. they
say he will be badly beaten regardless
OF any sort OF a ight he can make.
Friends OF Mr., Osborn express their
belief that he will remain in the race
simply as counterro!l to Mr.. Hearst.
and that he fully intends TO withdraw
his name at the proper time, There is
no doubt that genuine enthusiasm was
exhibited among the delegates for Mr..
Smith, and they report that. much senti-.
ment exists for him in the upstate
localities where he is known.
