PLAN FOR N. Y. CONVENTION.
New York, July 25.—The Democrat
ic State Convention Committee met
here today at the Knickerbocker hotel
to fix a date for the state convention
and decide upon a place.
Syracuse and Saratoga are bidding
for the convention. It is not unlikely
that it will go to Saratoga. Chairman
George M. Palmer of the state com
mittee has just returned from a tour
! of the state, having visited every sen
atorial district and conferred with the
leaders. He is in favor of an early
and vigorous campaign because he
says he has learned that there is a
lot of Roosevelt sentiment in many
localities up-state, a fact which he
considers the best possible guarantee
"that the Democrats will sweep the
Buffalo,
state."
