The wrangle IN the Indiana delegation was re-
sumed this afternoon at the executive session OF
the delegation. The friends of Harrison
urged him to withdraw a delegate and enter
| the field as a Presidential candidate. The
Gresham men objected. Charges Of bad faith
were made by both factions. The Harrison men
finally made the proposition that the solid vote OF
Indiana be given to Harrison. Before action could
be taken on this proposition a Gresham
man jumped to his feet and moved
to adjourn. This was carried, and
the fight will be renewed tomorrow morning at 10
| o'clock.

The action of the Indiana delegation today
| was significant. Senator Harrison, being
reouested to retire from the Head
quarters, the delegation proceeded to the
discussion of the position they should occupy In
the struggle. Hsrrison's candidacy was proposed
and carried by good majority, but without
uuanimty, Gresham's friends presenting obIec
tons. It was urged that Gresham could not
be entered because of his relations with
the Administration. Harrisons friends ar
gned that that fact should not
oDerate against the candidacy of the latter and
that therefore the friends of Gresham should
Weld. A long and obstinate controversy
! ersued during which il was con-
| tended that as representative OF a
| doubtful State Harrison advancing with solid
| front would possess strong advantages. Ii was al
last conceded that if the delegation could go into
the Convention uncommitted and 1t was shown
that neither Blaine nor Arthur could be nominated
and if any considerable demonstration was made ID
behalf of either Harrison or Gresham the
entire vote could be thrown Tor inc
