Special Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, June 3.-It begins to look very much
as though the convention would last through
Friday and perhaps until Saturday night While
as much direct work was accomplished to-day as
was expected the hostile feeling developed over
the election of temporary chairman shows that
there will be lively fight over each point raised
The committee on credentials was wrestling un-
til late hour tonight with
the contested delegate cases-chief among
which is the Malone one-and the prospect was
that they would hardly get their report completed
in time to present at the session tomorrow
morning. But even if they do that is only be-
| ginning for whichever way their report is there
will surely be a contest over its adoption, par
ticularly as to the Malone delegation, land rep
etition of the scenes of to-day in an intensified
form may be expected with the admission of the
delegation the probable out
come, matter which side the
report favors, for the field nm
doubtedly recognizes Blaine as the strongest
candidate, and is convinced that the only way to
prevent his nomination is to combine with the
Arthur forces in persstently opposing him. Not
| only is the committee credentials behind with
its work, but also the committee on resolutions
which held session tonight, but adjourned
without taking any definite action and with little
possibility of any in time for report tomorrow
morning Tonight they merely received reso-
lutions, among which was one from the labor
league and another from the manufacturers
league but postponed their consideration until
| tomorrow.
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.
| The committee permanent organization.
notwithstanding general expectation to the con-
trary, met with less difficulty with their work,
and decided upon recommending John B. Hen
derson, of Missouri, for chairman. The name of
Mr.. Hoar was presented in opposition, but the
majority of the committee seemed disposed to
get along with as little friction as possible and
as Mr.. Henderson is neither Blaine nor an Ar
thur man, and has the reputation of be-
| ing very fair minded, Mr. Hoar's name
was withdrawn. In view of the above
facts it safe to predict that no ballots will
be reached tomorrow.
| WISCONSIN PREFERENCES
Wisconsin divided by votes between the candi-
dates as follows
Lynch-Brodhead, Scott, Rembush, Barney,
Wenkler, Sanderson, Mead, Esterbrook, Eaton,
Butt, Temple, Tyler -12.
Clayton-Keyes, Bowman, Cooper, Sayles,
| Spensley, Dodge, KimbaIl, Shaw, Stewart. Ell
| lis 10.
Those voting for Clayton are all classed as
straight Blaine men, while of those for Lynch at
least four favor Blaine as second choice.
| IowA's VOTE
There was break in the Iowa vote for tenn
porary chairman, three delegates, W. G. Doo-
may, D. A. Morrisey and Merritt Green, voting
for Lynch, but Mr.. Green assured a GLOBE cor
respondent that the vote was not the least indi
cation of presidential preference, but mostly of
preference between Clayton and Lynch indi.
vidualy and that as far as the Iowa delegates
who voted for Lynch were concerned they
would vote for Blaine. Another del
egate said that this was the
case in many other instances and not in the least
test vote. s'Indeed, he said ssa good many of
the delegates didn't know that there was auy
further meaning attached to the selection of a
