Requests that Governor Hughe be aent
Into western atatea to make campaign
speeches have been received in great num
bers, and many of tha chairmen of state
central committees have been Inalatent in
their demands. The national committee re
fralnud from asking Governor Hughes to
take part In the campaign because It was
not deemed wise to do anything that would
look ' like Interference In the contest be
tween New York organization lea -t and
Hughes' supporters over the guben torlal
situation. There Is no longer any reason why
an Invitation to speak should be withheld
from Governor Hughes, and he will be
aaked to visit as many states as he can

campaign. It Is said that he may be sched
uled to -speak in. Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa

has Just returned from campaigning Maine,
"visited republican headquarters today. He
said thai the small . majority by which
Maine was carried by the republican party
has no particular bearing upon the national
eelctton. He thought that the return of the
entire republican congressional delegation
was an Indication that the attitude of the
party In congress meets with the approval
of tha people of the state, regardless of
local differences. He predicted that In the
national election the normal republican ma
jority woult be given Taft and Sherman.
TAFT BUSY OS HIS BIRTHDAY
Candidate Makes Two Addresses avad
Confers with Mr. Vorya.
CINCINNATI, O., Bept. 15. Two speeches
to vUltlns; delegstlons and conferencea with
Senator Crane of Massachusetts and Repre
sentative Theodore E. Burton of Cleveland
were ths program of work for Judge Taft to
day, on this, the fifty-first anniversary of
his birth. His first address, delivered in
the assembly room of the Blnton hotel to
a delegation of 1,000 residents of Green
field, ind., was political in character. To
tha ministers of to African Muthodlst
church tonight he ma do a general ad
dress, nonpolltical.
A. I. Vorya, Mr. Tiffs chief of staff
reached here last night from his New York
conference and stated that Chairman
H.tclicock and Senator Dixon would be
haw from Chicago tomorrow, when Mr,
Taft's speaking Itinerary will doubtless be
decided upon.
1 Judge Taft today shook hands with
delegation of cltlsens from Greenfield, Ind.
who pursed through the city on an excur
sion. ...
Mr. Taft In a few remarks of appreciation
for the visit, said:
1 value the fact that you are interested
in tho campaign as evidence by your pres.
ence here to meet one of the victims of
that campaign engaged In going through
two months of a nervous strain that would
bring nervous prostration to people leas
able to slatnd such a strsln thsn we two,
or perhaps the several gentlemen engaged
In the controversy."
Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the
treasury, who stopped In tho city thl
.morning on his way to open the campaign
la Louisville. Ky., tomorrow, bad a confer
rnce with Mr. Taft today; as did also Rep.
rvsentutlve Burton of Cleveland,
. Mr. Burton Is tq make two speeches In
Iuwa. addressing the trl-state fair at Don
nallson, and also speaking at Burlington.
6atui'day pight ha will be at Ann Arbor,
Mich.! Monday night at LaPorte, and Tues
day, at Nllea, Mich. He will then spend
week la Kansas, with one night at Musko'
gee, Okl., returning to Ohio on October 1.
Hi has an engagement for October T at
Galeaburg, la., the occasion being the
fiftieth anniversary of the Lincoln-Douglas
debates.
Tha result of tha Maine election. Mr. Taft
said today, after receiving the lateat re
turns, was In no way a surprise, nor was
It significant as bearing cn the national
campaign.
"Tha whole question at Issue," he added,
"was tha re-submission- of a prohibition
question. Two weeks ago I was Informed
that for this reason the republican majority
would, be reduced to just about the extent
It has been."
After the Vermont election Mr. Taft had
ttila to aay:
"Th vote in Vermont Is much more sig
nificant, as one cast under normal condi
tions, than will be tha vote In Mslne next
week, because It Is understood that the
peculiar situation thera this year prevents
reduced republican majority thera having
a national bearln.
"I simply wand ta repeat today what I
said then." was la. Taft's conclusion.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Bept. 15.-The first
sesKlon of the democratic state conven
tion, held here, beginning- at 12:10 p. m..
lasted less than an hour and was devoted
exclusively to the opening address of ex
Judge Morgan J. O'Brien and to routine
business resolutions.
Vpon the sojournment of the convention
the' leaders returned to their tasks of se
lecting a candidate for governor arxl In
settling the perplexing McCsrren-Murphy
controversy.1 It was predicted that a sat
isfactory agreenient.would .be- reached.
The McCarren delegates sgalnst whom
contests had been entered before the stata
committee were unseated by that body last
night. This was not- unexpected as the
committee as sat, present constituted was
known to be antagonistic to the Brooklyn
leader. Senator "McCarren took with him
to the convention hall a resolution which
he declared he .would present at the earliest
opportunity calling for a complete reor
ganization of the., state committee, and the
election of a new membership. Senator
McCarren says ho will first make his fight
before the credentials committee, and If
unsuccessful there will carry the matter
to the floor of the convention. . ' .
Bryan to "peak "Wednesday.
Conferences were continued today looking
to a settlement of the nomination for gov
ernor, but little definite, progress had been
made up to the time for tho opening of the
convention. The nominating session will
not be held until late tomorrow afternoon,
and may, as a matter of fact, .have to be
postponed until Thursday on. nccount of the
visit of William J. Bryan,. Who will address
the,, convention . Wednesday night. . . Every
effort, will be made, however, to get th
gubernatorial nomination,, at least, out of
tha way before Mr. Bryan arrives. This la
he wish of the presidential candidate, who
does not desire to be put In the position of
having Influenced the selection of a candi
date, in tlio state, convention. -
Lieutenant Governor . Chanlor remained
this morning to all outward appearances
the leading candidate for nomination as
head of the state ticket. Leader Murphy's
expression of opinion In favor of Supreme
Court Justice- James W. Gerard of New
York City, became public this morning for
the first time. The frlunds of Mr. Chanler,
however, continued their efforts to convince
Mr. Murphy that tha lieutenant governor's
strength up the state entitled him to first
consideration. - '
The race for subordinate places on the
ticket continues an open one, with a host
of candidates In the field for all of the
offices.
The Tammany delegation enlivened the
morning with their usual convention
parade. There were severs!, hundred, rr) em
bers of tha organisation in nne, and tha
line of march led through two miles of
the principal streets.
McCarren Ready to Bolt.
Senator McCarren said today that all the
delegates from Kings county would be
seated or the delegation would leave the
convention.
"We have taken that attitude In the
caucus," said the senator, "and there will
be no change. The Kings county democracy
la for its rights first and harmony second
The delegates from Brooklyn were fairly
elected and we propose that they shall be
seated."
Reports were revived again today that
the differences between State Chairman
Conners and Charles F. Murphy had been
aggravated by the suggestion tbat Conners
would side with Senator McCarren In his
fight.
It was nearly an hour after the time set
for assembling when State Chairman Con
ners called the convention to order. The
delay was due to a conference between
National Chairman Mack, State Chairman
Conners and Charles F. Murphy and Sen
ator McCarren.
Mr. Conners, chairman of the state com
mittee, announced the temporary officers
and Introduced Judge Morgan J. O'Brien
of New York as temporary chairman.
When the two contested Brooklyn) dis
tricts acted on by the state committee
last night, were reached on the roll call.
Senator McCarren arose and was recog
nized to send substitute lists to the clerk's
desk. The lists were automatically re
ferred to the committee on credentials
without debate. George V. 8. Williams of
Brooklyn arose and filed a protest against
the McCarren delegatea In eight districts.
He was greeted with a storm of hisses,
hoots and catcalls, which the chairman
had difficulty In suppressing.
The first session adjourned until 10 a. m.
tomorrow.
The race seems to hav resolved Itself
into a contest between the upstate dele
gates, who are declared to be strongly in
favor of Mr. Chanler, and the Tammany
delegates, with their alliances throughout
the state, who will follow the suggestions
of Mr. Murphy.
Justice Gerard has long been prominent
in democratic councils In New York city
und was elected last fall to the supreme
court b ench. It waa announced from
authoritative sources that thera Is an abso
lute understanding between Chairman
Conners and Leader Murphy and that all
talk of serious trouble between them is
without the slightest foundation. Mr.
Murphy's wrd as to a gubernatorial can
didate had been awaited here with a great
deal of anxiety as having prepondering
weight in tha settlement of the nomination.
Definite progress has been made on the
groundwork of a platform. The Hushes
sdminlatratlon will be attacked as one of
groas extravagance, especially In the matter
of creation of a public aervtce commission
which. It will be declared, has given no ado
quate return tor tha Immense amount of
expenditure Involved. The ' platform will
saaert that far fiom bettering transit con
ditions in Greater New York, th com
mission has seen them growing steadily
worse. Practically every detail of Gover
nor Hughes' administration will be at
tacked except his advocacy of th antl-raco
track gambling bills. The only reference
mart which will approach that subject will
be a declaration In favor of peraonal lib
erty, freedom of thought and speech and
the enactment of no sumptuary laws.
The platform will Indorse th candidacy
and th policies of William J. Bryan in
glowing terma. Th entire Denver platform
will be heartily approved.

PORTLAND. Me., Sept. li-Addltlonal 1
and revised returns en ado early today of.
the state election In Maine yesterday al-
tered but slightly th result announced last
night, the plurality of Bert M. Femald. the
republican candidate for governor, over
Obadlah Gardner, democrat, remaining at
7.C9, with twenty-five small towns and
twenty-six plantations still to report. . A
complete poll of the vote Is not expected
for several days. , ,.
The feature of the election was the in
crease In the democratlo vote throughout
the state. Every one of the four congres
sional districts showed gains, the increaso
over 1904 being 1S.00O votes and 4.000 over
1906. These gains were made almost en
tirely In the rural districts, showing clearly
the popularity of Mr. Gardner among the
farmers of the state.
The republican vote also was greater by
3.000 than In 1906, but it felt 4,000 below the
vote in 1904. The republicans also mado
good gaina !n the rural districts and In ad
dition regained six cities In the state, which
left the municipalities evenly divided be
tween the two parties.
The Incoming legislature will be strongly
republican In both branches.
Republicans Elect Ceagrrainea,
All four republican candidates for con
gress were elected, and for state auditor.
Charles P. Hatch of Augusta, republican,
defeated his opponent.
The republicans were on the defensive
throughout the campaign, seeking to hold
the state by the usual plurality by answer
ing the aiious democratic arguments.
which were mainly for resubmission of the
prohibitory law, taxation of the wild lands
and reform In administrative methods. But
little was said of national issues. -
Th republicans strongly defended the so
called Sturgls law and urged the voters to
support Its stringent methods In the en
forcement of the cause of prohibition.
Nearly 140.000 voters went to the polls, a
number which was within a few thousand
of the record for the state. The democrats
gained over four years ago In nearly every
county and city, although some of the
municipalities which went democratic two
years, ago returned to the republican fold
todays Congressmen Allen. Burleigh, John
G. Swasey and Frank E. Guernsey, republi
cans, are re-elected.

GIRL VICTIM OF MISTAKE
Dylnsjr . Statement Bears Out
This
Theory of the
Caae.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 16. (Special.)
There have been no new developments in
the mysterious Addle Bailey murder case.
The young woman died yesterday after
noon, and the body was today sent to the
old home at New Lexington, O,
After carefully, summing up the circum
stances of the shooting, and taking into
consideration the last and dying statement
of Miss Bailey, the authorities have about
concluded that the girl, waa the victim of
a mistake, and that her murderer waa after
some other person. Miss Bailey realized
she was going to die. and In a very solemn
manner told the sheriff and county attorney
that she spoke the whole truth when she
said she did not know the man that shot
her, that there had been no quarrel, that
she had no lover, had not been out with a
man since coming to Cheyenne, and that
during her stay in Denver she had had no
steady company. In tho opinion of the
dying girl she was mistaken for someone
else. The post-mortem investigation only
served to strengthen the story told by tho
unfortunate young woman, and the report
that she was married and was probably
shot by her husband after a quarrel Is not
now entertained. In all probability the
murder will be recorded as another of those
mysterious tragedies that may never bo
explained.
HOLLAND WILLG0 SLOWLY

pelled from Venesuela by President Custro.
"In our friendly relations with venes- J
uela." the government says In the speech,
"an Interruption occurred ' which our gov
ernment 1 endeavoring to overcome peace

receiving f27 votes. Wadsworth received lil
and Stewart 31. William Karnes, Jr., of
Albany moved to make the nomination
unanimous, which was done.
SARATOGA, N. Y Bept. IS. Opposition
to tho renomlnatlon of Charles E. Hughes
resetted its last ditch apparently In thu
hours of the morning and by noon today
It was the nil hut unanimous belief that
the republican stats convention will nomi
nate him this afternoon on the first ballot.
State Chairman Woodruff said shortly after
noon that the governor would be nominated
on the first ballot.
The name of Dr. David Jayne Hill, am
bassador of the United States to Germany,
was that about, which the. anti-Hughes
allies" made therl last attempt at a stand.
"It stood the subjret of gossip from about
S o'clock until about I a. m., and then van
ished, not because of any question of fit
ness of Dr. Hill for the office of gov
ernor, but because the suggestion of his
name failed to furnish what the opposition
haa all along lacked. Internal coherency.
At a caucus this forenoon of the New
York county delegation a vote waa taken
upon the question of supporting Governor
Hughes, with the result that 153 voted for
the governor and 84 against him.
The republican stata convention resumed
Its session soon after 2 p. m. today, with
something resembling enthusiasm.
When Secretry Root entered the hall he
was given sn enthusiastic reception, the
cheerlna; lasting two minutes.
Hughes Administration Endorsed.
The platform wsrt reported, read and
adopted. The references to President
Roosevelt and Taft were received with ap
plause. At the words "W endorse the adminis
tration of Governor Hughes," the conven
tion brokn Into cheers and applause. Most
of the delegates arose, but Albany and
Kings oounty delegates remained seated. -
The platform as read. and adopted In h
partita follows:' ' ' 7 V -M -. ' " ,., .
"W endorse the declarations of Wllflatn rw
II, Taft and James S. Sherman In accepting
their respective tiomlnatlons.
"We cordially approve the Interpretation
and fulfillment of promises made In na
tional platforms, by republican congresses
and by the matchless array of republican
presidents from Abe Lincoln to Theodore
Roosevelt.
"At this critical time In the commercial
and Industrial development of th world,
with a revision of our tsrtff and our
banking and currency laws impending wo
urge every believer In aound money and In
the American policy of protection to the
wage earner, the farmer, the manufac
turer and the mechanic to support the re
publican candidates, who are pledged to
sound money and a protective tariff.
"We believe the courts, federsl and state,
constitute the citadel of our liberties, for
all alike, and that th vacancies In tho
supreme court of th United States to oc
cur. In the next four years should be filled
by the trusted and experienced republican
candldute for the presidency rather than by
an untried and unstable theorist.
"We endorse the administration of Gov
ernor Hughes, who has shown himself a
courageous executive, resolved to aecom-
pllsh what he believes to be for the publlo
good. He has approved measures pro
posed by the republican legislature, uphold
ing the Integrity of the constitution,' main
taining the high character of th publlo
service, providing for the proper regula
tion of corporations, and for the prelec
tion of the people's Interests."
On the roll call of counties for nomln.v.
tlon for governor Albany yielded ': V.Iv
lngston, and Frank C. Cook placed In nomi
nation James W. Wadsworth, Jr., speaker
of the assembly.
The nam of ex-Congressman John K.
Stewart of Amsterdam was placed In
nomination, and then State Senator A. R.
Page of New York City placed th nam
of Charles Evans Hughes before the con
vention. Aatl-Hua;hes Men Beaten.
Dr. David Jayne Hill of Rocheater, am
bassador of the United States to Germany,
is the man whom the anti-Hughes leaders
have decided ppon as their candidate for
governor to defeat the renomlnatlon of
Governor Hughes.
In spite of the mention of his name,
there seemed early today little reason to
regard affairs as materially changsd. Her
bert Parsons, fully cognisant of what was
doing, expressed unabated confidence that
the convention would renominate Govr
nor Hughes on 'the first bullot. Congress
man Cocks, who represents the president's
home district and has been on of th
mediums of communication between th
president and leaders in the convention,
said ut 10 a. m., that he regarded the situa
tion as unchanged.
It was stated upon authority today that
no cablegram had been sent to Dr. Hill,
and that therefore no answer was expected.
It waa further said that at last night's
conference Mr. Root made It plain to tha
conferees thit the national leaders were
Intensely interested in the action of this
convention; that they were desirous of tha
nomination of Governor Hughes, rot alone
because of strength which they believed
his nomination would add to th national
ticket In New York state, but because they
believed It would be of great value to tit
national campaign in otbr states.
Secretary of Btat Root, who will be per
manent chairman of th convention and who
was a party to tha conference of last nls.it
until 1:30, left his room late today, and
when asked at breakfast his w ol af
fairs, disclaimed knowledge of th news of
the morning.
