Union Hotel late tonight came his
slate for the State ticket headed by
Alfred E. Smith for Governor.
1t is announced that the delegates
will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing for a roll call as to their choice.
but unless william Randolph Hearst Is
placed before the convention to be

Only one other chance for trouble

Editors Agents Lose.
II was leraned on the best Of author
ty tonight. that Mayor Hylan had
turned a cold shoulder to Mr.. Hearst's
appeal to him to put the screws on Mr.
Murphy. An attempt was made to get
the Mayor on the telephone on Monday
night. but 1t failed. He was reached to-
day and asked to get into communica-
ton with the Tammany boss" and say
that unless he stood for the publisher II
would go hard with his organization so
far as city patronage was concerned
The Mayor Is said to have fatty re-
fused, declaring that he had no desire to
pick quarrel with the Tammany or
ganiLaton. Mr.. Hearsts representatives
are exceedingly wroth and predict all
sorts Of trouble for the Mayor.
Mr. Hearst's agents have been unable
to force Mr.. Murphy to stand for him
The Hearst people tonight privately
acknowledged there Is no chance. They
are debating whether to put his name
before the convention and kick up rum
pus that will leave scars or whether to
go before the people at the primaries
with the tale Of woe that Murphy kept
their candidate out Of the Saratoga con-
vention.
The Hearst people were thrown into
a frenzy OF anger at the opening ses-
sion OF the convention when Judge
Samuel Seabury. the implacable foe OF
the publisher, forced the passage of a
resolution stating that the Democrats OF
the State OF New York "repudlate every
trutkler with our country's enemies,
who seeks or has sought to SOW dissen-
sion among our allies, or who now seeks
to capitalize by election to public Of
rce the latent treason.
Seabury Names Hearst.
As there was no name mentioned in
the resolution and there seemed to be
every evidence of a fine young row II
any attempt was made to block 1t, the
leaders allowed 1t to go through after a
stormy scene.
When Judge Seabury was asked II he
had anybody particular in mind when he
offered the resolution. he replied: Eyes,
had Mr.. Hearst In mind furthermore,
II his name Is placed before the conven-
tion to be voted on tomorrow / shall
oner specifications"
The PLAN OF the Hearst outfit has been
TO have former Gov Martin II. Glynn
present Mr., Hearsrs name and have
Nathan Straus of New York second 1t.
but Mr.. Glynn has not been heard from
up to late tonight, and as TO Mr.. Straus
New York man said:
4 think probably he has heard, that
Washington is against Mr.. Hearst and
therefore will do nothing along that
line"
1t was not until he had satisfied him
self that the upstate men were sincerely

10 make him the nominee Of the conven-
