Col. Chapman 81, Mcdonald 76. Preston IS.
The figures demonstrate what Burns has
been saying from the beginning. namely,
That the man from Napa was the choice
of the country delegates, for, eliminating
San Francisco's 164 votes from the roll, he
still had a sufficient number to nominate.
The weakness of the opposition is pre-
sented in striking manner by the rollcall.
! Even if it bad combined on Mcdonald or
! Chipman it could have made only a
meager showing. The truth probably is
that Estee's party services and previous
bad treatment by the party have created
for him throughout the State a strong
feeling Of sympathy, and that, together
with his availability at the present time.
has effected his nomination.
The kickers are saying to- night that the
fight after all does not prove Dan Burns
great political generalship. They now
accuse him of selling out the popular can
didate and c!everly getting into his fight.
The fact that Estee is and has been his
personal friend for years is looked upon
anybody can be boss under such circum-
stances.
During the rolleaIl Burns occupied
seat with the San Francisco delegation on
the floor. 1t,was interesting to watch him.
lie is generally very cool and collected; ;
! however, he was evidently nervous and
excited. He famed himself and shifted
| his cane about In an absent-m1nded way.
He kept no tally, but as each delegation
was called he crane1 his neck and fercely
chewed his cigar. When the chairman of
the Alameda delegation. the first one
called. arose and announced sixty votes
solid for NJ. NJ. Estee" Burns sank back in
his seat and heaved deep sigh Of relief.
The tumultuous applause that followed
caused him to smile grimly.
One of the San Francisco district dele
cations was plainly giving him concern,
for when iE was called he turned square
around and looked anxiously in its direc-
ton. When it announced itself solid for
Estee, be nodded approvingly, but except
for the grim smile that followed the an-
nouncement from Alameda, he never once
relapsed into the good humored expression
which be habitually wears. AS soon as
Estee was nominated he quietly grabbed
his hat and left the hall.
Tonight the delegates are swarming
about the Golden Eagle and making the
swaps which will tomorrow make the
| ticket. After the nomination for Cover
nor, the judicial slate was arranged, and
the short term was offered to Judge Tor
renee of San Diego.
This summary way of turning down
| Van Fleet did not seem TO give the bosses
any concern, for it appears that his sup
port from the start has been quite weak
and vacilIating. The terrible slump that
hs stock took early in the evening, how
! ever, received a check when it was an
| nounced that florence had peremptorily
| declined to run for the short term. His
avowed reasons are In a general way that
the two-year seat on the Supreme bench
is not worth fighting for. The real reason
is surmised 10 be det eterminatlon on the
part of his supporters to get long term.
AS the slate has been amended, IL still
bears the names of De Haven and Hen
shaw for the long terms, with possibility
that Terrence may accept, and if he does
not that the short term will go either to
| Van Fleet, Hebbard or Angelotti. An at
tempt will be made to give il to Van
Fleet, and If it fails HebOard may be the
nominee. AS the slate is now being evoked
