To our knowledge only three of ttye candidates entered In the list knew that their names had been entered, and as a result none of them had been Securing the ten bal lot votes. Contest Just Starting. Today marks the real beginning of the contest, arid as It has *lth next week seven full weeks to run, every candidate in the list has' the same opportunity to be the winner in her dlatrict, if she will but make an efTort on her part and thereby let her friends know that she de sires their support. Those who have been watching the Daily News' personally conduct ed tour of Europe contest, and not ing how It is progressing, can not help observing the keen interest that has been taken in it every where and while the interest is mdre manifest here In Washington at the present time, a few days more and the people of the sur rounding country will become more thoroughly acquainted with the plans and the interest will become stronger. v Reports are coming from all of three districts that the candidates AUox Jdl in their power to en list the' aid of their friends and It may be said In passing that those wAo^jio this and go about it. syste matically ?fe the ones who will be successful In winning memberships In t^e tour of Europe. Many Changes Expected 1%e names of the candidates and . number of votes accorded each as published today shows the votes I received by candidates up to yester day afternoon at * o'clock, and the standing of the candidates as It will be published tomorrow, will' show msny changes. New names are coming In daily, and will come In for some time yet,. It is never too late to enter the competlon. but those who erker earliest will hare the geratest ad vantage.

This is a voting contest, and the young lady receiving the largest number of votes In each dis trict will win one of the tours. Candidates Merit Happort. 'There are a great number of bright young women In the racp, and it is no more than right that the News readers and their friends should hslp them along as much as possible. If you do not want more than one copy of the paper yoursslf send It to a friend or rela tive. It will be appreciated, and by so doing it will establish a com munication which will come late the home dally. . Get Your Money4* Worth. Unlike other conteets, this enter prise pays for every cent Invested. Votes are not purchased for so much each, but for every dollar received bf the paper one hundred cents | J BSF I V -v' CT-r'l ' worth of newt of the world is re turned. It is an in vestment rather ithan an expenditure, and no one ?::iouId considor it in the light that money paid out la the contest is trastod. as th'ero la greater value given for the money than any other Investment which It would be pos sible to make. - . Candidates Should Start Now. Candidates who desire ducceas la tbo conteat should get an early sUtt and secure subscription payments in order to get the apeclal ballots The conteat la divided Into four periods. The ftrat period mi end Oct. 8. Under the published schedule more votes are given during the first period' on subscription pay ments than during the second per iod. and each candidate should get her friends to subscribe while the subscription, counts for the great est number of votes. ; ? 'Subscriptions should be roported to the Dally News offlce as often ss possible In orfeer that the new subacrlpers may get the paper and save the coupons for the candidates. Beginning with today the votes caat for the different candidates will bo recorded daily, and. the number received by each showg that our predictions, relative to the clipping of the ten-vote coupona are fully verified. New namW have been add ed to the different lists, and new nominations will, no doubt, be made ?11 during the n$xt ten days. Nominations can be made at any time during th6 contest, but we ad vise thoae who desire to enter the race to clip out a ballot and send, bring or mall it to this offlce at the earliest possible date.

CUM LOUS UP As the Gubernatorial Nominee New York HE IS THE FIRST CHOICE THE LEADKIW OF THK PARTY 8KB SENTI.MIINT IK THK STATU I* GROWING AND EVEN B098 Ml'RPHV HAYH HK IS FUflUB FIRST CHOICE. * New York, 8ept. 23.?Gaynor sentiment took form and owumed direction In Democratic circles * here today more rapidly than at any oth er time since his Dime came to the front as a possible candidate for gorernq Dix had brought w large the figure of the iyor bulked from a distance. but until today New York leaders had been reticent. Partly they were restrained by the continued slleuce of the mayor him self, and partly by hesitation as to how they would fare with Mayor Gaynor's at Albany and John Pur rey Mitchell, now acting mayor, in bis chair. But today there were two develop ments of interest.. In the first place there was much open talk for Oaynor among district leaders who gathored at Tammany Hall and those who heard it could only account for it as the supposi tion that It had warrant from those higher in the council^ of the socie ty. In the second place, Charles F. Murphy, the taciturn leader of Tam many publicly admitted the strength of the movement toward Gaynor, while carefully reserving any decla tlon of his own attitude Murphy said. "The sentiment of the stale seems to favor the nomination of Mayor Oaynor for governor." By many Tamtnsnv men this dec laratlon was taken to mean that Mur phy had brought away from hla re eent visits to the mayor at 8t. James, some intimation of his attitude to ward a nomination and the mayor's own action in permitting the publi cation of a long letter to bis sister In Utica, relating his personal recol lections of the attempt to assassinate him, had been correctly Interpreted as equivalent to an announcement of his wUllngnes s*> run. Mr. Murphy's declaration was made In the presence of a delegation of politicians who went to Tam many Hall on sn errand quite un connected with Mr. Gaynor... They called in fact to urge the claims 01 Representative Wm. O. 8ul*er, whose boom has been most actively put forward. The Suiter boomers eagerly spread the report of their I conversation on sccount of what Mr iMur^iy said further, 'Sulzer is al I so cfliuch talked about," he contln aed. "I have had men going through the state and they report that the I people seem to want the Mayor nom inated. with Suiter as second choice" It was announced at Democratic headquarters today that the tempor ary chairman of the Rochester con vention would be Alton B. Parker, former chief Justice of the state court of appeals and democratic can didate for president In 1904. For permanent chairman. Edward M. Shepard and D. Cady Herrick <*re most prominently mentioned.
