The first within the United States took place In 1654 , when twen ty-seven Jewish emigrants from Bahla , South America , arrived In Now Am sterdam.

HOPED TO FINDJEN KING HERE Actor from Chicago , Interested In King and n Play He Wrote , Is Here.

Reader , an actor In the Sanford Dodge , com pany , who had played bore In the spring , started out to renew acquaint ance with Ben K. King , formerly a re porter on The News , and learned for the llrst time of Mr. King's demise. When ho was In Norfolk last spring Mr. Reader was at once attached to the newspaper man and a warm friend ship resulted , During the stay of Mr. Reader In Norfolk he became very much Interested In a play that had been written by Mr. King hut which had not yet been finished. The actor saw much of serious merit In the pro duction and had spoken to Sanford Dodge in regard to the play , and Mr. Dodge had planned to hear It read while In Norfolk today with a view of staging the piece. Mr. Reader' was very deeply affected when ho learned of the death of his friend. Ho Is still Interested In the play and will make an effort to get It produced , providing Mr. King's par rents are willing. "It was a play of real merit , " &aj clared the actor today , "and it would , be worth while to develop It. " -i Biggest school pads In town Top Be at The News. NAMED FOH GOVERNOR DY NEW YORK DEMOCRATS. BUFFALO MEETING IS LIVELY Nomination Comes After a Long Ses alon In Which the Nominee Was Bitterly Attacked Chanter for Lieu tenant Governor. Buftalo , Sept. 27. At a scHslon whlc.li began at 7:45 : last night and continued until 2.20 this morning me Democratic state convention nomi nated a stale ticket with William Randolph Hearst at the head of it. Mr. Hearst already was in the field aa the gubernatorial nominee of the In * dependence League. The Dcmociutu nlso took Irom the Independence League ticket Lewis Stuyvebant Chan- ler for lieutenant governor and John 8. Whalun for secretary of btalo. Thu other nominees have no place on the Independence League ticket. Mr. Hearst was nominated with 309 votes , only 226 being necessary for a choice. Congressman William Sulzur received 124 votes and John A. Dlx received 17 , making 450 In all. The nomination of Mr. Hearst was made In tne face of the bitterest oppo sition ever waged In a Democratic convention In this state. Under the guise of advocating the candidacy of Sulzer a number of Hearst's party op ponents took the floor and amid storms of cheering and hissing , de nounced the man they know was to bo the party's candidate In the most remarkable scries of speeches over burled at n man to be named for the highest office at the gift of the con vention. The advocates of Mr. Hearst answered these nttaqks , the jnost effective being Bourke Cockran , 'who declared ( that while Mr. Hearst 'was not his personal-choice , the demand that hcf bo nominated having 'coVne from every section of the state , 'w" not to be denied. HUGHES 'BYACCLAMATION York 'Republicans Loose Little , Time In Picking Ticket. Saratoga , , N. Y. , Sept. 27.Expe dltion marked the second and final day of , , , tlio Republican state conven tion. From early morning , when It became known that Charles E. Hughea of. New York would bo nominated for governor by acclamation , the other proceedings practically became formal and were pushed to completion with the utmost speed. The selection of the lemalnder of the ticket and the choice of Timothy L. Woodruff as the new state chairman were accom- plishcdi before 'the convention assem bled. General Stewart L. Woodford read the platform and emphaslzou" the car dinal features of Republicanism and the features of its party administra tions , both state and national. Men tion of President Roosevelt In the res olutions and in speeches evoked ap plause. , Representative Herbert Parsona made the speech proposing the re- nomination of Lieutenant Governor M. Linn Bruce ; the man he had kept from the head of the ticket , and whom he praised highly. Events leading up to the nomina tions were interesting and involved ! nhunin'rabl6 conferences. Wlien the opposition to Hughes found It i&t > os * slble ; or at least inadvisable , , to nomi Bruce for governor and 'bdgan ' * seeking elsewhere for a candidate,7 defeat - feat for the old-time leaders and Vic tory1 for the new and almost'unknown"1 ' leaders followed almost Immed'lat.q / and swiftly. The understood preference enco of President Roosevelt "for Hughes and the declaration of Gov ernor Hlgglns that he was not oppos ing that preferred candidate , contrib uted materially to the result , but all this would have been , unavailing had It not been ( - the decided stand which Mr. Parsons maintained frohi the time he arrived in Saratoga until the opposition to his candidate crum bled to dust.
