J., Oct. 1--When the Democratic ate Convention opened in Taylor's Dpera-House here to-day the hall was jammed with a bolsterous throng. divided on several candidaies for Governor and all talking and shout- Ing for their favorites. Judge Woodruff, the — temporary Chairman, had some diMeculty bringing the assemblage to order, and then fol- lowed a spirited contest for the seating of the delegates. The followers of Mayor Seymour, of Newark, who made a desperate fight for the Gubernatorial nomination, had claimed that the forces h led by ex- Senator James Smith, of Essex County, why had put Thomas M. Ferrell, of Gloucester, to the front as Seymou strongest opponent, had tried to pack the Convention. . ~ While the delegates were being seated the Seymour men sent the word around that they had 4% votes pledged on the first bellot and that they would de able to stampede the convention and get 573 votes, about twenty more than was necessary for a choice. Tho Ferrell supporters counted upon 4” votes for thelr favorite upon first ballot, and expected enough from the complimentary: vote counties to nominate Ferrell, . The Monmouth County delegation de- cided to give a compiimentary: vote to David Crater. Warren 1 to do the same thing for Senator Cornish and Camden for Judge Carrow Judge Woodruff made a brief speech fn opening the Convention largely in eulogy of President McKinley. He re- ferred to the suddenness with which the blow was struck and the nation de- prived of Its bead. and declared that Republicans and Democrats altke wo unite in the suppression of Anarchy the upholding of the law. William K. Devereaux, of Monmouth, ind John J. Matthews, of Union, were elected vecretaries.

Mayor Seymour's adherents crowded about the building shouting for the Mayor, who, they cried, had fought hard to the convention doors for th nomination, and would keep it up in the hall and win. While the doors were being besleged a recess was taken. After recess William B. Gourley, o Paterson, Chairman of the State Com- mittee, was chosen as permanent chalr- man of the convention. Joseph A. Van Syckel, of Atlantic, Placed in nomination for Gubernatorial hoours, the name of Thomas M. Ferrell, of Gloucester. Eckart Budd, of Bur- Mngton, nominated James M. Seymour, of Newark.

SIGSBEE DENIES SCHLEY'’ S STORY. Declares He Never Reported Cervera Was Not at Santiago—Said He Did Not See Fleet. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—Capt. Charles | D, Blgsbee, who commanded the scout- ship Bt. Paul during the Spanteh wai was called as a witness before the Schley Court of Inquiry to-day. He J that In obedience to omlers from Capt. Wise, who was his commanding officer, he had proceeded to the vicinity of Santiago, arriving there on the Zist. He told of taking aboard the Cuban pilot, Nunez, and said that he did not have great confidence in that individual, His instructions were to report to Commodore, Schley that the Spanish squadron probably was in Santiago hai bor, He fell in with the Flying Squad- ron on the evening of May 24, the squad- ron then being twenty or twenty-tive miles south of Santiago. He had re- ported to Commodore Schley that he “knew nothing positively” about the Spanteh fleet, He was then asked if he had expressed hia bellef to Commodore Schley that Cervera’n fleet was not in the harbor, as reported later by Commodore Schley. A controversy arose over the adminsa- bility of the question, and the Court took u recess for luncheon before re- celving the reply of the witness, When the Sehley court convened aft luncheon, Capt, Sigubee resumed testimony. Mr. Hanna repeated hia duestion, asked before recess, quoting | from Admiral Schley’s report of Feb. 18, 1899, the sentence reading: "After having been assured by Sigsbee that he did not believe the Spanish fleet waa In Santiago.” ‘The witnens replied: “I atated that I had seen nothing of the Span.sh fleet, I may have stated that I knew nothing positively or abso- lutely about Its movements, but I re- cited certaln events to show that there war a probability of the Spanish flect being In Santingo at that time.

(Special to The Evening World.) ; SANDY HOOK, Oct. 1—After turning the first. ten miles of the triangular course and going barely half way over the second, ‘the race between Columbia and Shamrock was declared off at 3.40 this afternoon. Shamrock, which turned the first mark more than three minutes ahead of the Yankee boat, was then in the lead, i The wind was fluky and there was no possibility: of 4) finishing the contest within the time limit. First the breeze favored one boat, and then the other, but the Shamrock by skilful handling made up her starting loss of twelve sec= — onds and finally hauled ahead of the Herreshoff wonder, — leading at the time the race was called off by over a mile. The next trial will be made on Thursday over a triangular course.
