all crowded and the streets were lined Win KNOTS
of men discussing the situation. lo-nlght ere Is
a small crowd about the LOchiel House. but other-
wise the CITY wears its woutel look of quiet
country town in midsummer. Not one-half OF the
delegates to the convention. which is called to meet
at IL a. H. tomorrow, have yet arrived
and many of those here are substitutes
for irregular delegates who could not or would not
come T v Cooper chairman Of the State Com
mlttee BY courtesy not by by election, who TOOK IL
upon himself by Mr. Cameron's direction, 10 re-
convene the Convention, is the only man appar-
emily who takes very much interest IN II. NJ ..
