MIR HARRITY OUSTED.
Pennsylvania Democrats Say That
He Has Expelled Himself.


Reading, Pa, Aug. 9O.-The
democratic state committee tonight
by vote of 50 to &c. passed a resolution
declaring vacant the position of National
committeeman from Pennsylvania, now
filled by William F. Harrity. and named
James NJ. Guffey of Pittsburg for the
vacancy.
The state democratic committee tonight
adopted a resolution declaring vacant the
seat of William F. Harrity of Phiadel-
phia in the national democratic conven-
ton. The committee met in the rooms of
the Amercus Club, by direction of the eX-
ecutiVe committee to consider the ques-
ton of the vacancy in the national COM
mittee. The proceedings were exciting
from start TO finish, and at one stage a
policeman was called upon by State Chair
man Garman to eject Timothy OLeary
of Pittsburg for interrupting speakers
O'Leary is not member of the commit
tee
State Chairman Garman presided. except
for short time, when he surrendered the
chair to w. r. Brainton, of Lancaster, to
speak upon the resolution. After the meet
ing was called to order, JnO. b. Keenan,.
of Westmoreland, offered resolution that
a vacancy had been created and now exist
ed in the membership of the national dem
ocratic committee by reason of the volun-
tary withdrawal from politics and from
participation in the deliberations of the
committee of the late incumbent, VIM. F.
Harrity and that Mr.. Harrity, not being
in accord with the principles of the dem
ocratic party, Jas. NJ Guffcy of Pittsburg
who so loyalty supported w. ]. Bryan, be
and is hereby selected to fill the vacancy
Magistrate Charles p Donnelly of Phil
adelphia said the committee would make
a mistake if 1t adopted this resolution on
the eve of the great battle for governor
1t was the duty of the organization, he
said, to bring about condition of affairs
that means harmony i'm the party and the
democracy cannot go before the people
with the expectation of winning Victories
with a divided party organization. Mr..
Donnelly denied the right of the state
committee to create a vacancy In the ma
tional committee. 1t was a question for
the latter body TO decide.
Joseph Hawley of Pittsburg argued In
favor Of the resolution.
Robert W. Erwin of Washington and
Thomas C. Barber of Union spoke for and
against the resolution.
Chairman Garman read the correspond
ence between himeslf and Mr.. Harrty
printed this morning Mr.. Garman fol-
lowed with a long argument on the favor
of the resolution. More heated argument
followed, with one member suggesting the
reference of the question to W. J. Bryan.
The vote then followed, with the result
stated.
The action of the state committee will
undoubtedly result in an exciting time at
tomorrow convention.

tomorrow Is expected to be a very quiet
one. In the senatorial contest last year
