st. Louis. Mo-, June 14.-"It does not
feel so badly TO be beaten as | thought
it would remarked Delegate-at-Large
Edward Lauterbach this afternoon as
he stood in Thomas c. Platt's room
and discussed with National Committee
man VIM A. Sutherland, ex-senator J..
Sloat Fassett, Senator Frank A. Hen
ricks and Senator Timothy E. Els
worth, the decision of the National
Committee on the contested seat cases
in New York State The informal
meeting had taken up the consideration
OF the matter to decide whether a fur
Their contest should be made before the
Committee on Credentials in the Con-
vention.
1t was decided that the action of the
National Committee on the New York
contests was disastrous TO Mr.. Platt's
friends.
1t was known in the Committee that
Mr.. Platt was intensely interested and
did not want the leader of the faction
opposed to him to secure the advantage
which the rejection of his delegates
would give. The talk of a bolt from
the Convention unless the Platt men
we're seated and the almost implied
threat of Mr.. Sutherland in Committee
that a bot would follow the seating
of Bliss and Cruger. worked the Com
mittee up to the highest pitch of ex
element Not in any other contest
was there such bitter feeling raised in
the Committee, and although language
which might be in the least dis
tasteful TO any member Of the Com
mittee was afterward withdrawn, il did
not lessen the determined feeling of OPP
posing sides to seat their respective
men.
When Mr. Lauterbach made his sage
remark about the lack OF bitterness in
defeat Mr.. Platt smiled and said: It's
a good way to look at it. Lauterbach,
and al our defeats should be accepted
in the same spirit" while Mr.. Fassett,
who. a year ago, was outside of the
breastworks, smiled acceptance of the
theory.
It took but a few moments to decide
the question of further appeal in the
contests 1t was the almost unanimous
theory that no good could come of such
an appeal and that it simply meant de-
lay for the Convention. Chairman Of
the New York State Committee Charles
w. Hackett, who had come to the con-
ference, aided in this decision by stat
ing that he had been given to under
stand by persons in authority that a
plan had already been prepared by the
Mckinley managers that would pre-
clude any appeal by providing that a
decision in any contest made by the
National Committee should be consid-
cred final.
Mr.. Plat stated explicitly tonight
that the New York delegation had no
intention OF boiling the Convention.
1--WE shall" he said, leave the hall only
when the Convention has adjourned"

To use a steamboat phrase, they had

They sung wild and enthusiastically
the popular hymns OF their religion;
they stopped at the street crossings
and in front of the big hotels and eX-

their ways and flee from the wrath to

Salvationists could be heard campaign

town had resumed its normal state save
that the cabbles were buster. So, too,
were the all-night saloons and restaur-
ants. In these were congregated the
visitors who had come here for a time.
Here and there through the downtown
streets were groups of roistering, pleas
ure-seeking men and politicians resllng
to their hotels. Some of them were still
possessed with the wild melodious craze
that prevailed an hour before, and in
maudlin way sang disconnected

st. Louis. Mo-. June 14.-The Vice
Presidential boom stood still this after
noon and awaited the development OF a
heated correspondence between Platt
and other Republican leaders and Gov
ernor Levi p. Morton. The import OF
the messages was to gain Morton's con-
sent to place his name in nomination
for the Vice Presidency. Mr.. Cnaun-
cey NJ Depew was not a party to the
urgency call. Instead Mr.. Depew said
"Why. Governor Morton's idea OF
having me present his name for the
Presidential nomination, even though L
foresaw defeat, was to have me demon
strate. aye, and say to the Convention
that he was not and would not be a
candidate for Vice President
That Mr.. Plat has forsaken all hope
in the Presidential boom OF Mr.. Morton
is perfectly apparent. When asked
this afternoon if he had any hopes, he
said tersely:
Mr. Morton's name will be presented
to the Convention"
There was a rumor current that the
New York delegation would present the
name of Gen. BENZ. F. Tracey for Vice
President, and that the anti-organiza-
ton people would present the name Of
Cornelius n. Bliss, and ask for Mr..
Platts support To both of these ru-
mors Mr.. Plat said tonight:
"All buncombe. If Governor Morton
will not accept the second place on the
ticket, then New York State has no
candidate"

THE REED BOOMERS.

The Maine and Massachusetts Dele cations
Arrived Yesterday. and the Headquarters
Opened-The Maine Man VIII Not Have
Solid Following.
st. Louis, Mo-. June 14.-The Reed
boom was to-day given the first impe-
tus that it has had during the ante
convention days. The arrival of the
Main and Massachusetts delegations,
with glittering badges and waving
banners, gave the first real appearance
of Reeds candidacy that has been
seen. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
who is to place Reed in nominaticl,
has become the recognized leader of the
Reed boom, and since his arrival has
been trying to gather the scattered
Reed forces and retrieve the losses that
have occurred in the past few days.
Mr.. Lodge has visited several OF the
Mckinley leaders, calling upon Mr..
Plat, Mr. Quay and members of the
Iowa delegation. Chairman Littlefield,
of the Main delegation, VINO will prob
ably second Reeds nomination, has
had the Reed headquarters formally
opened, and tonight the delegation had
a meeting in which steps were taken
toward pressing the candidacy of Reed
with all possible spirit. A large paint
ing of MIR. Reed has been placed in the
Reed headquarters, which are the rooms
lately occupied by the National Com
mittee while considering the contested
election cases.
The Massachusetts delegation held a
meeting, and a count of the delegates
showed that Reed was favcrite. Sen
ator Lodge announced after the meet
ing that there was thirty solid dele
gates for Reed. The delegations o.
Maine and Massachusetts are not talk
ing of any second choice for President,
nor of a candidate for Vice President.
