solely to Judge Wizards interests.
The friends of United States Senator
NJ. s. Quay made desperat fights for
delegates in almost every voting divi-
sion in the district and in some instances
were successful.
Representative Charles p. O'Malley,
who returned at midnight from a tour
through the district, said when seen by
a Tribune reporter:

that elected siXty-five of the seventy
two delegates In the district and or
these forty-seven were chosen in Judge
Willard'sinterests. There is no doubt
in my mind but that John H. Thomas
and James Young will be elected state
delegates at tomorrow's convention"
