Lyons Stands r"a,.
| After the Lyons conference ended it
was learned that the Secretary Of State
was defiant in the conference room.

to discipline me-" said he. II am
going through with this thing to the
finish, and 1T makes no difference
whether 1 fail to get the solid vote of
! New York County or not. l will 60
I Through with it If have only one AS
sen1bly District, and I will go through
with it If | haven't more than single
vote
Prior to sending for the Secretary
Of State the twenty-four conferecs
canvassed the situation. Each one in
turn was asked if Lyons stood to get
any vote from the particular section
represented by the conferee and each
in turn replied that the belligerent
Secretary Of State would fail to get
any votes.
! The friends of Mr.. Lyons suggested
to the conference that the Secretary Of
State would retire from the race If he
could be appointed Collector OF the
Port. The proposal was laughed at
The Miller men tonight following the
conference said that further confer
ences with Mr.. Lyons were left in the
hands Of Mr.. Koenig and Colonel Hay
ward.

| the composition Of the convention
ticket. Senator Wadsworth was espe.
cially solicitous about having Attorney

understood told the Governor so. The
Governor repeated what he has been
saying all along-namely, that he was
not anxious to continue in office unless
he could feel assured from the com.
position OF the state ticket that his
! inaugurated policies would receive the
| fullest possible support. Later the
Governor reiterated to the newspaper
men chat his position as stated or

with the work Of the convention.
