Woman on Ticket?
Feeling for woman on the Demo,

out tonight. The women say they 40
not desire a woman candidate and 1T
Is only the uneasy chivalry of the men
leaders that suggested such a thing
1t is remembered that it was Governor
Smith himself who insisted that Miss
Mills run for Secretary Of State last
time and against the advice Of the
women leaders. The fact that MISS
Mills was defeated even in Democratic
districts, will probably curb the chiv-
alrous impulse this year.. though the
women say 1t still exists
II should like to see a woman elected
to high office in the state" Miss Mills
said, "but ] want to see the ticket
win"
Mrs Daniel o'Day, Miss Marion Dick

candidates, but there Is little probabil-
ity that they will be selected.

ganda long before they reached Syra-

For example, two women sat in the
corridor Of the Hotel Ten Eyck at AL

convention who stopped at TIC elevator.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 27--"Sure, I'll

1t was Miss Elisabeth Marbury, Dem
ocratic National Committee woman
from New York State, speaking. Her

"Yes, | bought a cat" she laughed,
"and I'm going to name him for-lm

A bald-headed judge roared np-

"And that's as near as you or any

"He's, a splendid animal" she went

"And he's willing to answer to the

"We ell bolt the party If Hearst is
nominated" she said. "Of course, wo
women are pretty green and we don't
know what they'll put over on us, but
we'll never support Hearst"
The leader of the Hearst women
forces Is Mrs. Louise r. Welzmiller,
president of three-months-old organ
ization known as the Women's Progress
sve Democratic Alliance, with a print
ed platform embracing all the reforms
from full participation of women in
ending with pledge "Never to sacri-
flee humanity to further the selfish
schemes Of public plunderers and ex-
ploiters and selfseeking interests"
Mrs. Welzmiller thinks William Ran
dolph Hearst ought to get the woman's
vote because he always supported
woman suffrange.
"And he ought TO be elected to public
office. because he has chain of news
papers extending from coast to coast,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific" she
said. "And he has the power to in

she was told that corridor gossip
reported she was offering $50 week to
upstate women to work for Hearst.
"Now, how cruel that isl" she said.
1--WE hadn't very much money, but
we enlisted 900 women this sum-

The wonen's division of the State
Committee will present recommends
tons to the platform committee asking
for many of the familiar women }

the eight-hour day for women, mini
mum wage, abolition of night work and
an enabling act for the Shepard Town

The Democratic party has frequently
stood for these measures in the past,

They are also curious to know II Smith

with Hearst. The answer to that one is
NO." If the men in Smiths confidence
can be trusted.
Mayor Hylan came in on q special
train, which carried large number of
New York City's quota of the ito
woman delegates. He permitted his ar
rival to be known by using the ele
yators and lobby q great deal for the
purpose Of hurrying TO and fro. He
was wreathed in smiles and for once
had nothing to say about the sinister
corporations,
With the Mayor from time to time
were most of the other city officials,
headed by Murray Hubert, President
OF the Board Of Aldermen, and going
on down through the list to magis-
t1ates and Tammany Assemblymen.
All Of these were as much in the
dark as the Mayor was to what is 20
happen Friday midday, when the two
big nominations are to To made. They
probably were no deeper in the dark
than Murphy himself, for that perspir-
ing person is far from choice OF
courses thus far.

tonight, it would look as if the
chances of Smith for the nomination
are Frightening, while those of Hearst,
il there ever were any. are going into
eclipse.
The upstate delegations, while not
demonstrative over Smith as they were
at the unofficial convention in 1916. are
very much for him, and are free to say
So There was evidence this afternoon
that most of the important upstate
delegations had made an agreement
that Mayor George R. Lunn Of Schen-
ectedy was TO be the candidate for SEN
ator and Smith to run for Governor. If
they had anything to say in the matter.
The Hearst people were not '.alking
confidently. Indeed, the usual sky
rocket acco.nuaniment of Hearst cam
paign was altogether absent. Mr.. Con-
ners, his face almost obscured by a
pair of huge blue glasses, slid rather
than walked from suite to suite. but he
wore the look Of man who has long
way to travel before he reaches his
goal.
Compromise Candidate Possible
To-morrows session of the conven-
tion will be confined to oratorical pyro-
technics. The men who are pulling the
strings will leave early and get back
to their big Job, which consists of
picking the men TO head the ticket.
The two opposing camps which are
tonight most conspicuous, those of
Smith and Hearst, will each devote the
day 70 final effort to land their man.
Failing in that the Smith people will
attempt to stop Hearst, even if it is
necessary for the former Governor to
dcnounce him on the floor Of the CON
vcntion. The Hearst people also will
Try to step smith; But they tried

Meanwhile, there is talk of compro-

ever, still persists in the statement
that he is here only to see that Mr..

exception OF John l.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, left town
to-day for rest in the country or at the
seashore before resuming their delibera-
tions tomorrow in an effort 10 solve
the problem of reconciling tho differ
cnces between workers and the mine
operators, which have kept the anthra-
cite fields idle since April i.
Mr.. Lewis remained in town but re-
fused to comment in any manner upon
the conferences. Both sides have de-
clined to elaborate upon the brief STATE
ment issued at the conclusion of yester-
days session declaring they were agreed
that the success of the negotiations
might be jeopardIzed by undue pub
licity. This statement merely announced
that no agreement had been reached
and another session would be held to-
morrow afternoon.
An optimistic note seeped through the
curtain OF silence, however,. when II
was learned that the miners were dis
cussing the advisabiity OF accepting th'
plan presented to them lat Friday

cliation commission as court of last

The urgent demand for cars TO move

of service and 100, 900 coal cars are file
in the shops at a time when they are

President Harding's message to Con-
gress brought more cheer 10 the
strikers than to the roads. Members
of the local strike committee were
pleased by the Presidents declaration
that he will ''use all the power of the
Government to maintain transporta-
fion and sustain the right of men to
work." They believe this statement
means if the railroads do not yield the
Administration will bring pressure to
bear. because, they say, the farmers
throughout the middle West are har-
vesting one Of the four biggest crops
this country ever produced and soon
will be clamoring for freight cars.
Coal and Grain to Win strike.
A similar cry will be raised by the
consumers Of coal in the manufactuf
ing cities OF the East. it WAS SAID. Coal
and grain will win the strike, according
to the strikers.
The first time the railroads assembled
in executive session on August they
rejected President Hardlngs compromise
proposal unanimously because he
wanted seniority rights restored to the
men who quit. The second meeting on
August II accepted a modification of
the Presidents plan by a majority vote,
but the shopmen rejected il. Then the
big Four" train service brotherhoods
and the switchmen intervened as peace
makers.
