Other friends If Mckinley who heard
the eilk said tsat Platt was putting up n
grand bluh, and that no one was to he
alarmed ever' what he might say. From
the manner in which the report OF Platt's
intention To bolt has been circulated by
his friends quite freely, one of them stated
emphai,callyf that the position of Mr..
PlaE was that in ease six regularly elected
delegates in New York should he un-
seHrs'd, there would he sixty more dele
gaIes who would walk out of the conven-
mon. This view is controvcrtcd by some
EFF the delegates from New York now on
the ground, who say that there are from
twenty-five To thirty delegates from New
York who are ardent Mckinley men and
cannot be expected To follow Platt in any
such move. Members of the national com
mittee think the talk Of u New York bolt
is wholly for the purpose of the influence

The Vice Presidency.
1t is probable the National League of
Republican clubs will have some, hing TO
say about the vice presidential candidate.
The league is largely for Mckinley, but
there il Il division of sentiment I'M regard
to the second place Ex-Governor ID. Rus
sell Brown of Rhode Island Is a member
of the league in good standing and his
friends will put him forward as the right
man to combine with Mckinley on the
national ticket. f.. a. McAlpin VI New
York is president of the league and natnr-
ally his friends are anxious to see him
honorcd McAlpin is adiutant general on
| the staff of Governor Morton Of New York,
and the argument will be advanced that

/ Governor Morton seems Ia be the choice

New York candidates and IL he would

Quay Committed 10 Hobart.
The friends of Garrett A Hobart of New
| Jersey claim that QuaF is committed Ia
! him and there are surface indications that
give probability Ia this story Senator
| QUAY, however. is very cautious i'm making
promises and the Hobart people may be
counting their chickens. Henry G.. Payne
\ member of the national committee for
| Wisconsin, said in discussing the situa
| tion:
| AT present Hobart of New Jersey has
| the lead with those here. We cannot.
however, tell how it may be when more
| delegates arrive.
| The objection has been raised to Mr..
Hobart that New Jersey has always gone
| Democratic i'm "A presidential election but
| the friends of the Jersey man say that
| with Hobart on the ticket the Republicans
would carry the state by n sweeping ma
| jority. The boom for H. Clay Evans of
Tennessee has grown To u wonderful size.
Evans himself has made no effort to So
cure second place ON the Mckinley ticket
| He has other plans in view, which woul
make his acceptance OF the vice proeldent

slow in settling, Contests.
The slow progress made by the national
| committee in disposing Of contests CON
tinues to excite the concern Of the mcnI-
bers Of the committee. The committees
began by deciding ~ grant fifteen
minutes to each side in the cases of all con-

| Of the days session reduced the time To ten
| minutes notwithstanding this chanRl
only three contests involving six seat 8
were decided Friday during the forenoon
| session. The reason for this tartliness Is
found in the fact that the time taken from
1 tho eontpstpntS and more was CONSUMED
| by members of the committee themselves
| Up to noon the third Of the committee :
sitting, only sixty eight of the l6s seats
which are contested had been awardoi,
