Her Babe
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, Sep. 27? Edna Nelson, of the
Yukon, whom Celia Doherty was suing
for the possession of her child, escaped
last night with the babe for the east.

TOR NORTHERN BABE
The babe, over the possession of
which Celia Doherty and Edna Nelson,
of Whitehorse, have gone to law at
Seattle, an account of which was con
tained yesterday's dispatches, was born
out of wedlock at Whitehorse not long
ago. Its mother, Edna Nelson, unable
to induce her lover to wed her. left the
Klondike and was taken ill at the
Rapids City. She gave the possession
of her child to Mrs. Doherty, who
claims 10 have legally adopted it.
Recently the parents of the iittle
babe's " fattier came from Dawson.
They pursuaded the mother to reclaim
the child, promising to do what, they
could tofinduce their son to marry her
give it a legitimate place in the world.
Miss Nelson with her baby and its
erand parents left for the south early
last week, and were followed in a day
or two by Mrs. Doherty, who passed
through Skagway about the middle of
last week.
The outcome of the suit will be
watched with not a little interest by
those who are conversant with the
facts.

est democratic state convention ever
held in the state of New York William
Randolph Hearse was nominated for
governor at 2:30 o'clock this morning
on the first ballot. He received 309
votes to 124 cast for William Salter.
The latter was offered as a compromise
that would by satisfactory to every
faction. He was not an aspirant for the
nomination.
The fight was long and bi'ter before
the nomination of Hearst and the op
position delayed the fin*l vote as long
as was possible hoping that, something
would turn up to prevent the uudesira
ble result.
Raines lead the attack on Hearst.
He charged him with infidelity to every
democratic principle. He read a tele
gram from the regular democratic or
ganization in the State of California 1
' charging him with doing all within his
power in that state to defeat the regu
lar democratic ticket. Raines said
Hearst seeks the defeat of the domo
cratic party.
Tammany Decided Contest
The 105 votes of Tammany were cast
solidly for William Randolph Hearst.
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany's leader,
was at the head of the delegation and
supported Hearst.

lican state convention yesterday alter
noon nominated Charles E. Hughes (or
governor. Hughes became famous as
the attorney for the legislative commit
tee which made the investigations into
the working of the New York insurance
companies last vear. The nomination
was uninimously made. Hughes' nom
ination has been expected since the
withdrawal of Gov. Higgina. The lat
ter would have been the nominee had it
not become apparent that the dem
ocrats would nominate Hearst, uniting
the democratic party and the Indepen
dence League, It was thought Bughes
was the only republican who could de
| feat Hearst. Gov. Odell, leader of the
republican faction which ia opposed to
Gov, Higgins, announced his preference
for Hughes for the nomination several
weeks ago.

can politics for the purpose of electing
Hughes to be governor of New V ork.
It is recognized that the fight will be a
bitter one and that the result cannot be
foretold at the present time.
