continues among the delegates to the Demo-

claimed for Hearst solid. there is reason for
uneasiness in that camp. There were numer
Gus delegates yesterday who expressed the
opinion that Hearst had not bought them,
vet, and could not do Sc. They stated that

may lead in the Convention on the first bal
