SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept. -"26.——A
candidate to head the Republican state
ticket was expected to emerge today
from the tangle of speculation that
has boast the slate convention ever
since the delegates began’ to gather
here last Monday. In their efforts
to, sentiments the leaders have sug-
gested one man after another without
stirring up any convincing show of
enthusiasm. Unless the Republicans
repeat the experience of the Progres
elves at Syracuse and find their lead-
er in an unexpected outburst of bar-
monious approval the nominee seems
likely to be selected by carefully
weighing the strength or the various
men proposed and choosing the one
who can make the most convincing
show of strength For the moment,
State Senator Harvey D. Hlnman, of
Binghamton, is foremost among those
whose availability is being discussed,
and until the question of his candi-
dacy was settled there seemed to be
little hope of progress toward any
other possible nominee.
The convention, when it met about
. 11 o‘clock today, was to effect a per-
manent organization and make State
Senator Edgar T. Brackett, of this
village. permanent chairman
After Mr. Brackett’s address, the
prospects were that a recess would be
taken and that the afternoon would
be devoted to consideration of the
platform. This would leave tomorrow
free for the nominations.
'l‘he subcommittee appointed to
consider the planks suggested for the
uniform was in session until after
3 o'clock this morning and planned to
make a report to the full committee
before the convention that today;
