Allen, of Onondaga County, for Secretary of State; Olin Hoxie Smith, of Schenectady, for Comptroller; Frank Ehrenfried, of Erie County, for Treasurer; and Dr. Charles H. Furman, of Brooklyn, for State Engineer.^[2]

The Progressive state convention met on September 6 at Syracuse, New York. Oscar S. Straus was Chairman.

Prendergast, the bosses' and Theodore Roosevelt's choice, was withdrawn by Timothy L. Woodruff.^[3]

The Republican state convention met on September 27 at Saratoga, New York.^[4]

The Democratic state convention met on October 2 at Syracuse, New York. Alton B. Parker was elected Permanent Chairman with 412 votes against 33 for John K. Sague, the Mayor of Poughkeepsie. Congressman William Sulzer was nominated for Governor after the third ballot (first ballot: John Alden Dix [incumbent] 147, Sulzer 136, Herman A. Metz 70, Martin H. Glynn 46, George H.

Glynn (in office 1907-08) was nominated for Lieutenant Governor by acclamation, and the convention adjourned an hour after midnight.^[5] The convention met again on October 3, and nominated Mitchell May for Secretary of State; re-nominated the other incumbent state officers Sohmer, Carmody, Kennedy and Bensel; and nominated William H. Cuddeback and John W. Hogan for the Court of Appeals.^[6]

The Independence League state convention met on October 3 at Arlington Hall in New York City. James A. Allen was Temporary and Permanent Chairman. They nominated Progressive Oscar S. Straus for Governor with 89 votes against 79 for Democrat William Sulzer, and then adjourned^[7] The convention met again on October 4, and nominated a ticket made up by Democrats Glynn, Sohmer and Cuddeback; Progressives Call, Palmieri, Leland and Kirchwey; and the only Independence Leaguer John Davis for Treasurer.^[8] William Randolph Hearst himself endorsed Sulzer and Glynn.^[9]
