Magee and Flynn Are Not Legally
Elected Delegates.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-with all the
delegates to the st. Louis convention chosen
the friends of various candidates are now
scanning the rolls Of the delegates-elect to
ascertain If they have been duly elected
and are entitled to seats in the convention.
AS is well known, the Republican national
committee, in its call for the convention.
prescribed the regulations to govern the
election Of delegates. And as 1t seems GER
tain that the change of a few votes may
rolls is in progress. The clause Of call for
the convention that governs the election of
district delegates is as follows:. The con-
at conventions called by the congressional
committee Of each such district, in
the same manner as the nomina-
made in said district, provided that in any
congressional district where there is no
Republican congressional committee. the
Republican State committee shall ap-
point from the residents Of such district
a committee for the purpose of calling
district convention to elect delegates. The
Territorial delegates shall be chosen in the
same manner as the manner of delegate
in Congress is made" The inspection OF
the rolls has already revealed several dele
called by county or city committees, and
not by congressional committees, or by
special committees designated by State
ton OF rules these delegates have not been
legally entered and cannot ho.d seats in
the convention. and as the limit of time
fixed for the election OF delegates has ex-
pired the districts that elected these dele
gates may not be given recognition in the
convention. One thing Is certain. they cam
not correct the error by holding new con-
ventions, under the regulations provided.
Magee and Finn were chosen by conven-
tions called by the county committee.
Stone and McAfee are in the same boat, but
the joke is on the others, as they may be
barred from the convention after their hard
work.
