IL broken. In his circular to the syndicate
members, concerning the popular feature
Of the loan. Mr.. Morgan says: II feel
perfectly satisfied that there II no ques.
ton as to the success Of the loan" The
reason given for the dissolution Of the
syndicate IL that the syndicate contract
called for q bid Of "all or none," and
therefore Mr.. Morgan was unwilling To
make bid under the present circum-
stances, as he might seem to present for
consideration by the Secretary Of the
Treasury the throwing out Of smaller bids
made In good faith under the public call.
The only emergency, In Mr.. MOrgan's
judgment, which would justify such a
course would be the failure Of the public
TO respond 10 the call Of the Government.

70 bolt the convention if Michigan's
gold delegation was unseated. The
statement came as a surprise, because
Senator Hill has been very conserva-
tive in the matter of statements. When
visited by a reporter Of the Associated
Press he said
The statement is absolutely false.
The only th.ngs l said were embodied
in an interview that l gave to your as.
ISOLATION. | never said anything that
would give any person the idea that |
would counsel a bolt. In fact. l have
steadfastly rcfrained from making any
statements of what action we would
take in the convention"
What Hill Did Say.
1t seems that the statement relative to
q bolt credited to Senator Hill was the
outcome of a statement made by Sem
ator Hill to Senator Cockrell. Senator
Cockrell says that Senator Hill did not
say they would bolt if Michigan was
unseated. Senator Hill" said Senator
Cockrell, "said to me; 1t would be \
grave mistake if the convention inter.
feres in this matter to change the unit
rule. 1t would practically be an inva-
sion of the unit rule and q prece-
dent that l am afraid would lead to dis
astrous results in the future. 1t would
also prove more of an incentive to
Democrats who talk Of q bolt to leave
the convention than even the adoption
of a silver platform" That is the sub
stance of our conversation that has.
believe, been misconstrued."
Senator Hill. when told of this, said
II did deprecate the %unseating of the
Michigan gold men and l do affirm that
it would be a dangerous precedent to
establish, but I said nothing of a pro-
posed bolt and did not give out any
signed statement"

A shoe dealer who was one of the first
to establish the custom said the cost is
practically nothing after the original

colored porter is well paid by the tips
he receives.

that the porter would be we'll paid for his
