were heard about the corridors of the
hotels today. The first state delegation
to leave was New York, which gave up
it's headquarters at he Palmer house
on Friday night, and Pennsylvania
followed shortly afterwards. al of
the remaining delegations departed on
Saturday evening, and with the ex-
ception of the national committee head
quarters nothing was left today to in
dictate that there had been any Conven-
ton. Even the sign Of the sergeant-at-
arms had been removed, although
Colonel Martin remained 20 finish up
some matters connected with clt sing
the convention.
THE SILVER HEADQUARTERS RS
at the Sherman house were deserted
The bimetallic committee, their work
being accomplished, dislbanded and
only those who are members of the la
tiOnal committee remained over.
Henrichsen, with his cohorts, left
on Saturday evening, as did also
most of the Virginia and South Caro-

the North Carolinas, with the Tennes-
see delegates, stayed over until 1920
day evening.
William F. Harrity, ex-chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
completed his labors in connection
with last weeks convention yesterday
and left for Philadelphia at $50 pm.
The old subcommittee held a short
session at noon in parlor Y, Palmer
house, and arranged matters so that
ex-Secretary Sheerin, Colonel Sherley,
oil 81 NJ, IL
architect, could settle all the bills and
turn the books over to the new national
committee.
Colonel Martin said he regretted ex-
ceedingly the trouble that could not
be avoided on the first day, when the
doors were not opened in time for the
people to get into the Coliseum with
out waiting, and for which the blame
was all heaped upon his shoulders.
HE WAS NOT TO BLAME.
he said. and the subcommittee exon
Grated him. 1t was explained that the
keys to the Coliseum were not turned,
over to him until nearly II o'clock, in
stead of 9 am, when he should have
received them. A good deal of fun
was made over Colonel Martins med
zeal staff, yet it seemed he had need
for it. During the convention, he said,
one cause or another. A good many
women tainted, one man sustained a
broken nose and another got his ankle
crushed. Several of the delegates were
overcome by excitement, loss of sleep
and long sessions without anything TO
eat, and were treated by the physicians
in charge.
TRIBUTE TO TRUMBULL
10
of the Democratic party for president
of the United States, turned his back
this afternoon on statesmen, politicians
and eager curiosity seekers and went
out to the quiet lakewood Cemetery
and stood with uncovered head before
the grave of Lyman Trumbull, the man
who had been his teacher and friend.
When Mr.. Bryan turned away, his eyes
were trimming with tears.
ANY distinction l may have gained,
I owe, in great part, to the man who
is buried there" he said, as he returned
to the carriage and was driven back
to the city again.
Today was the first opportunity Mr.
Bryan has had to rest since he started
to Chicago over a week ago, to attend
the convention, which was destined to
uame him as it's candidate for preSi-
dent. He spent it under the hospitable
roof of the Trumbull homestead 4016
Lake avenue. The nominee recovered
some of his lost strength by sleeping
until well toward noon. After dinner,
he sat out on the vineclad porch and
looked across the blue waters of the
lake. Some of the neighbors called and
chatted with Mr.. Bryan and Senator
Jones, and the ce-presidential nomi-
nee. Mr. Sewall, drove out and paid a
short visit
George Sterndorf, who is an old
friend of Mr.. Bryan from Nebraska,
drove over and took the candidate and
mis- wife driving over the south side
boulevards.
Mr.. Bryan and his wife remain at
the Trumbull residence until the de-
parture of their train at 2 o'clock for
Salem. The candidate will come down
town tomorrow morning to attend the
meeting of the notification committee
at the Palmer house at 9 O'Clock He
and depart from the Illinois Central
depot. Mr.. Bryan's original intention
was to remain in Salem a week and
take the rest he so much needed but
he said tonight:
81 find I will have only day or two
to spend at Salem, although 1 would
like to stay much longer. From Salem
I will turn direct to Lincoln Ne5.,
from there ( will go to Omaha and then
to New York to receive the notification
committee. / do not think the 21st
will be the day fixed for my meeting
the committee in New York The day
week or so later will probably be
fixed on"
