Buckley Ignores His Pledges to Coleman,
and Nominates Pond
SAN JOSE, Aug. 21.-While the conven-
tion was reassembling this morning, it was
seen from tie anxious and nervous air of
the leaders that some big move was in the
wind, though nobody seemed to know pre-
cisely what was going to happen. Perhaps
the most anxious man in the whole conVen-
ton was Mike Tarpey, Coleman's manager.
He hustled around among the delegates,
whispering, exhorting and protesting. 1t
was apparant that he knew a crisis had
come in the fate of his candidate, and he
was evidently trying to pull his forces to-
gether.
His most anxious glanees were cast in
the direction of the San Francisco delega-
tion. All could see that the fate of the
candidates depended upon the action of
that body, and as it was understood that
Buckley had issued some sort of order to
his lambs, expectation was on tip-toe.
READY FOR THE DEAL.
The San Francisco delegation showed by
the manner Of the men comprising it that a
coup de grace was on the cards. Hayes,
Pepper and Flynn were numerous and
busy, while the rank and file of the delega-
CATION who had supported Coleman with
SO much enthusiasm crept silently into their
seats with the look Of whipped spaniels.
When Chairman Waters called the con-
VentiOn TO order the hall held the largest
crowd that had yet been within its walls.
A noticeable feature was the great number
of ladies in the gallery who appeared to
take deepe interest even than the men
in what was going on below them. Later.
when the excitement over the voting reached
its height, these ladies shouted and waved
their fans and handkerehies in as crazy a
manner as did the sterner sex.
THE THIRD BALLOT.
Without any preliminary words Chair
man Waters announced that the roll should
be called for the third ballot for Governor.
The very first county on the Alameda
furnished a sensation. This county had
previously voted sOlidly for English, but
Chairman M0ffitt had scarcely made the
usual announcement Of its ballot when one
of its members was on his feet and fercely
shouting for the roll-cal. a yell went up
from the crowd. Alameda was about to
break and the result Of the roll-call was
awaited with breathless interest.
The expected break was not n big one.
Two OF the delegates voted for Coleman,
the rest for English AS before. No sooner
did the Secretary announce the vote. how
ever, than MOffitt sprang to hislfeet and de-
manQeu tnat Tie Two VoIeS LOT coleman De
changed back to English. The delegation
had been instructed to vote solldly for En-
glish, he said, and the two Coleman votes
had no business to be cast.
THE VOTE COUNTED.
Amid much excitement Chairman Waters
ruled that every delegate had right to
vote as he leased regardless Of inStruc-
tons, and the roll-call went on. As it
progressed 1t was seen that the English
forces were breaking away and going to
either Coleman or Pond. Each fresh
change was greeted with tremendous yells.
Los Angeles Furnished tile next sensa-
tion. There were i've sDsentees from this
delegation, and the Chairman wanted to
cast these five votes for Coleman on the
ground that the majority of the delegation
