COUNTY COMMITTEE ENLARGED.

Many politicians from the country were
in The city Yesterday. They dropped in at
the headquarters at the Baldwin during
the day and talked over the prospects of
various candidates whose names will go
before the Sacramento convention. But
there was little to be learned from their
predictions or predictions. as up TO yes
terday only thirteen counties had elected
their delegates, and as yet everything is
guessw ork.
Among the visitors at the Burns rooms
was Judge Angelotti of San Rafael. Hav-
ing served Marin County on the Superior
Court bench, Judge Angelotti would now
like to serve The State as q Justice OF the
Supreme Court. II is said he has all San
Rafael at his back. and it is presumed
from the fact that he had a conference
with Dan II. Burns that he would like to
add the San Francisco delegation TO his
forces
Frank Drew, the political partner OF
Frank RuOads. the Sacramento leader who
captured the delegation in his county on
Thursday al the primaries. beamed upon
the assembled statesmen in the headQuaT-
tets. lie was in high good humor over
the result of the primary, in which there
was praC tiCaly no opposition TO the
Rhoads tickle t. The Sacramento leaders,
like Messrs. Spreckeis ana Burns of this
city, have made no announcement OF the
men whom they will favor In the couven-
ton, and say they have no candidates as
yet but the visit Of Drew TO this city is
lOokeu uD0n as significant OF An under
standing between the metropolis and the
caplral
This is the last day of grace in the mat
ter OF eleCtjng delegates TO the convention.
The call for the primaries stipulated that
the delegations must be chosen ten days
Before the day set for the assembling of
the convention, and under that rule all
counties which have not so far named
their men will have 10 do so by Tonight.
Dr.. X. c. Meyers Of the County Commit
tee, who was the staunch friend of Kelly
i CTimmins up 10 the moment when II be-
came apparent that they stood no chance
at the recent primary election and could
no longer control either patronage or in
duence, has. II appears, fathered a sche me.
TIE object Of which IS To bury his former
friends, already very dead, so deep as 10
preclude the possibility of their resCrrsc-
ton. At the last meeting of the Republi-
can County Committee DT. Meyers, who
within week had fed from the losing
camp to the bivOuac of the victDTs, intro
dUced a resolution providing for q commit
tee OF eighteen to act as a committee on
harmony, bow known a the "OlI" con- nit
tee. The only Objeci Of this body, so far
as the doctor permitted the mem beTs of the
general committee TO Know, was to throw
CiKon the troubled waters. and as it was
EepeTalIy deemed that this was desirable
slA0 at this time the resolution was
adopted without dissent. and any action
the proposed committee might take was
made final. 1t has since developed that
the real object of the creation Of this new
adjunct was to increase the county COM
mitjee by an addition Of twenty-Saven men,
Ders, who would, of course, be Burns and
Sp7eckels men. This would, it was clear
to Or. Meyers, leave Kelly and Crimmins
IN such hopeless minority in the county
committee that they would be able to make
10 sort Of stand against their opponents at
the municipal primaries.
Last night the committee on harmony, of
which Chairman MaDwaring and Secre-
faIy Morris Of the County Committee are
ex-officlO chairman and secretary, met at
the Baldwin annex and carried out the
= programme in a jiffy. When the secretary
called the roll there was only one mem Der
absent. Chairman Manwaring stated that
the meeting had been called for the pur-
-. pose Of uniting the party and taking any
steps that might tend to benefit 1t. He
called for suggestions from the members
and Frank McQuade drew parer from

suitation with other members drafted

Van added that the resolution OF the
County Committee had empowered the
committee to take such action as it might

But that did not satisfy King. With
considerable display OF temper he said:

Chairman Graham objected to Mr.
