MIR. HARRITY REFUSED
To Run for Vice President on silver
Platform.

Chicago, July A-Among the numerous
stories that have found currency since
the adjournment of the Democratic con-
vention is one TO the effect that the nomi-
nation for the vice presidency was within
the reach OF William F. Harrity. of Penn
syivania. 1t is authoritatively stated that
prominent free silver leaders declared
some OF them 70 Mr.. Harrity himself
that II he was willing 20 stand upon the
platform adopted he would receive their
support for the vice presidency and be
nominated. Mr.. Harrify promptly adj
vised them that II would not be safe for
them to nominate him. He received
twenty-cne votes from Connecticut. Della
ware, Maryland. Rhode Island and South
Dakota, and he might in addition have
easily had the sixty-four votes from
Pennsylvania had he not insisted that the
Pennsylvania delegation should not vote
for him.
Philadelphia. July r-william r. Har-
rity returned from Chicago today and was
al his desk In the Office OF the Equitable
Trust Co, OF which he is president. Mr.
Hsrrity was rot disposed 70 express him
self regarding the Democrats platform
or candidates. He Gid. however make the
following statement:
''since my return 20 Philadelphia my at
tention has been called TO a report sent
out from Chicago during the convention
week TO the effect that had declared that
I am . Democrat. and after that | am
a sound money man There Is no fouuda-
ton whatever for such a statement II Is
n pure Invention, and the editorials based
on Il which appeared In some OF the
Philadelphia, Boston and New York papers
are both unjust ana unwarrsntea I am
= Democrat and sound money man, too,
rot afterward. bat a. the same titnA and
I shall do nothing whatever during the
coming campaign that can possibly be
regarded as a surrender OF my convictions
upon the currency question or upon any
other vital question"
