Hearst democrats to-da ' withdrew tire
name of District Attor iey Jerome for
the gubernatorial nomination and wi I
concentrate their foijce on Mayo •

Leader Murphy to ni(jht stated that
it looked very much like Hearst would

sentiment seemed to be in his favor.
The general belief in Buffalo to

nated.
Buffalo, N. Y„ Sept. 25.- -Not for
many years has the political . situa
tion in this state been as complicated
as it is now, and with the democratic
state convention meeting here to-day
and the republican state convention in
Saratoga, there is every reason to be
lieve that history will be made to-dav.
Buffalo is crowded with visitors from
all parts of the state to-day. They
began to arrive yesterday and ail
morning every train arriving here
brought large delegations from every
direction. The largest delegations, of
course, came from the counties pm
posing Greater New York an I from
a tV.v counties containing largo cities.
The Nt w York delegations did not
come in a body, but arrived in sev
oral installments and quietly want to
their respective headquarters. Poli
tics is at white iieat and lie ex
pectancy concerning the outcome u
the democratic convention, which met
at noon at Convention Hall, is in
tense.
Nothing has been divulged autlioi
tatively concerning the result of last
night’s conference of the democratic
stale central committee at the Iro
quois Hotel, and the general impres
sion is that no compromise was a>
cnmplished amKthat the whole prob
lem will have Jto ire solved in the
convention, whore the great battia
royal between jllie radical element,
favoring Hearst! and the conservative
element, supporting Jerome, will b
fought oat. I
The 'Conventilm was culled to order
by Chairman Cjird Meyer, of the slate
central coiumia.ee, and after t,be offi
cial call had ien a read, the conven
tion proeeededl to the selection of the
usual committees for credentials, per
manent organisations, etc. After tne
usual routine limitless had been trans
acted, the convention took a recess
until two o’click, when the real tug
of war liegaiJ
The situaii n may be briefly sum
med up as blows: AiUiough ther
has been soi e talk of several: other
candidates lor the gubernatorial
nomination, t is generally admitted
that there a is only two bona lide as
pirants for t e nomination before tip
convention, Hearst and Jerome.,
Heargt, who has already been nomi
nated for go eruor on the Independ
ence League ticket, represents the
radical (lenient in tiie paity and lias
a strong following. Not only has part
of Tammany yiull declared in his
favor, hut many couniy delegations
are either instructed to vote for him
or a/e known to favor his nomination.
The Hearst ruen are bitterly opposed
by the conservative element, which is
particularly strong in the interior
towns and country districts. Although
lnot\ many of ihe delegates' are in
let n/pted outright to vote for Mr.
ilerome, it is well understood that, ho
iVill have the support of the conserva
tive element, which does not consider
