launch vice-prestdential booms these
Gays ana new names are sprung every

Maine Is among the latest mentioned
and the New England men who are for

ers to see how he was suited.
Mr.. Manley. who was asked IL the
movement would receive support in>the
Maine delegation, said that he had heard
nothing OF 1t, and did not believe any
thing would come Of the suggestion.
Messrs. Foraker. Bushnell, Grosvenor
and Hanna, the delegate at large from
Ohio, had conference today with sew
eral of the district delegates from Ohio.

ST. LOUIS. June Ex-senator H. M.
Teller Of Colorado and Mrs. Teller ar
rived tonight from Washington. Sem
ator Teller was asked about his recent
statements in Washington and Cincin-
natl, but he declined to be interviewed
any further. He said he would satnd by
what he had said, but that there had
been more published than he stated. He
insisted he would not consider anything
connected with the convention until
Monday, and that he would not be in
terviewed or In any manner express
himself until that time. Senator Teller
said he would not take any part until
Monday. when the Colorado and other
silver delegates will meet. Senator Teller
was anxiously inquired after at McKin-
ley headquarters and elsewhere tonight,
but none could reach him, and his most
intimate friends said he would not par
ticipate until after the silver conference
on Monday. It Is expected that an ulti-
matum to the Mckinley managers will
be made Monday.
Some of the Mckinley men are charg-
ing that concessions are being made to
the ultra gold-stapdard men from New
England, New York and other eastern
states. and II Senator Teller. who is to
be the silver leader in the convention,
shares in this opinion, judging from the
disposition Of the silver leader tonight,
he is contemplating some radical action
in the event the committee on resolu-
tions reports In favor af a gold stand
ard. He will not express himself in ad-
vance Of such action, but his intimate
friends assert he would not sanction
a combine of the extreme silver men
with the extreme gold men to defeat
a plank that would lean toward silver
In any degree. It has been asserted that
such combine might be made, but 1t Is
understood that Senator Teller would
not, in case Of conflict between gold men
and those less radically inclined in
favor Of that metal, take the side Of
either, but stand squarely for a dec
laration for the free coinage Of silver.
men cannot afford to combine with any
faction to defeat either in the interest
Of the other.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-(Specia1 to The

Kinley's western friends, Kohlsaat,
Governor Merriam of Minnesota, and
Myron 7. Herrick- OF Cleveland, ii was
resolved to put gold plank in the plat

men out of alliance with the silver men
for obstructive tactics.
The committee has heard ninety-six
contests, and gives sixty to Mckinley.

roughshod over everything. He saws

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-Mr. Platt, Ed
ward Lauterbach, Hamilton Fish, State
Chairman Hackett and few other shin
ing lights Of the Morton boom held an
informal meeting in MIR. Platt's room
tonight. Mr.. Lauterbach presented the
plank which he believed would best DEM
onstrate New York's idea of q gold
standard. and also presented one drawn
by William ]. Arkell, and which was
given to Mr.. Lauterbach by John A.
Slecher, with a request that it be intro
duced In the order resolutions. The one
recites voluminously for gold; the other
is for gold tersely and without verbiage,
Mr.. Platt stroked his beard and fumbied
with the writing material on the table.
put made no comment. Mr.. Lauterbach
said afterwards:
We are for clear elucidation of the
gold standard, and the length Of the
New York platform is for the purpose
OF preventing straddling or misrepre-
sentation in any manner"
When the Associated Press reporter
saw Mr.. Platt at the closing of the con-
ference he was not inclined to be COM
municative as to his plans. To a volley
OF questions he made this terse and sig
nif1cant reply:
Whether we accomplish what we
came for or not, we can at least take
the credit Of carrying one of our great
est points-we have forced them to ac-
cept gold-standard plank"
There was disposition at New York
headquarters tonight to look with cold
ness upon Delegate-at-Large Depew.
and to regard him as not a consistent
follower of Mr.. Morton, but, strange to
say. at Mckinley headquarters an ex-
actly opposite view was taken and Mr..
Depew was looked upon as a leader of
the New York delegates. Chairman
Hackett discounted Mr. Denew'a ctota
ment as to Governor Morton's declin-
alton Of the vice-presidency, by saying:
Governor Morton's private secretary
gave me that information at the re-
quest of Governor Morton several days
ago, and told 1t to Mr. Platt."
