lupgs, but Che person of Otto N. who had started ont Snll

Sullivan had the committee. Rumors
leaked out that some OF the gentlemen con-
testing in the Fourth ward had threatened
10 punch tho noses of certain gentlemen
who had obtained credentials. The con-
~vention D gan TO get very tired. AbOnt IL
o'clock tn /, committee came in, and after q
few minut 80 the crowd settled down suft.
GENTLY to enable the chairman's voice to be
heard u few feet away.
There were twelve contests, and the &C
clamation nomination which Patsy German
and Sim Coy were claiming for Sullivan
promised to be a rainbow for the time be-
ing. The contests were In Precincts SO. 40,
ST. 81. los, ITO. 112. ia, 125. 134 and 14S. In a
majority OF the contested Dreclnots the
Sullivan delegates were seated. although
in the ~forty-ninrh and eiRhty-seventh pre-
cincts the contesting delegations were
given . half vote each.
A delegate from the Seventh ward want.
ed to know further about n contest, but
the younger Bose FrenZel moved the pre-
vious question and shut of the delegate.
The report of the committee was adopted
with but little opposition.
Finally the call OF the roll for nomina-
tions was made. Vic Backus. of the Third
ward. put M. A. Downing in nomination.
the Sixth ward put Sullivan in nomination,
Harry HOrd, of the Tenth, put mp John w.
kerns name. and before the roll was I'm
isbed Olson and Rogers had their names
put up.
There were loud cries and yells for Kern,
nnd II that gentleman had been willing to
allow his name TO be voted upon he would
have been nominated. Kern arose and ad-
dressed the convention In a vigorous, forci-
bic way. He said three months ago he OK
nlicitiy stated he would not be u candi-
de, and had since said so q hundred times.
ne would not take the office If rendered him.
because he did not think he would make q
gos d candidate. When Kern sat down his
friends saw that the chance OF defeating
Sullivan was gone. The roll then began.
IL by no means seemed O sure thing that
Sullivan would be nominated, and had the
opposition heen q trItie stronger Sullivan
would have been ~repudIated by his own
party.
CALLING TIRE ROLL
The call of the roll knocked ont Sim
Coy's calculation that his friend Sullivan
would be nominated by scclamation; in
fact. the Democratic convention refused to
make bis nomination unanimous. An at
tempt was made, but there was SO much
opposition that Chairman Seidensticker
did not attempt to carry the motion. There
was n lively row In the One-hundred-and-
first precinct and One-hslf of the deleRs-
ing and the other for Sullivan.
In the Twelfth ward there was
another rumpns and one Olsen man held q
chair amidst the uprOar for four minutes.

In the southern wards, however. and to-

like q rock. The street gangmen among
the delegates knew it would never do to
let Sullivan be defeated. The result of the
ballot for Mayor was as follows by pre-.
