DETROIT. Oct. 21.-Don NJ Dickinson was
defeated for nomination for mayor of De-
troit in the democratic convention today,
but the defeat was in reality regarded as a
victory. The nominee is Alderman Sam

81 votes to "a for Dickinson on the first bal
lot.
The division which has existed throughout
Michigan between the referee or admnistra-
tion democrats and the anti-referees had. in
Detroit assumed the more personal nature Of
a contest between Dickinson and Daniel Cam
pau, ex-state chairman. In today's conven-
tion the anti-administration men tried to
force the nomination of Dickinson for the
very purpose, it is alleged, of having him
thrown down" by running him against the
Pingree boom, which has attained tre-
mendous velocity in the present campaign.
The federal officeholders and other Dickn-
son men today fought this effort with ulti-
mate success after a hard struggle. The
convention was further racked with an at
tempt by some leaders to have Pingree en-
dorsed, but this did not succeed.
