LOUISVILLE. June 22.-The race fer
the Democratic nomination for COVER
nor of Kentucky lies between w. j.
Stone and William Goebel. A combi-
nation OF the followers Of these two
candidates secured the organization OF
the convention in the election of Judge
David B. Redwine of Breathitt county
to be temporary chairman. In the dis
trict conventions they secured all but
four of the eleven districts. This, with,
the two mem bers of each committee to
be named by the temporary chairman,
will give them u good working major
ity. The plan is to nominate Stone for
governor and give Goebeps friends the
remainder of the ticket and the state
central committee. 1t is not improba-
BILE, however, that Goebel may show
sufficient strength in the convention to
secure his nopination at the head OF
the ticket. The net result of the days
work was the elimination, temporarily
at least, of Hardin as an important fac
tor in the convention. =.
Proceedings Decidedl Lively.
The convention was full Of excite
ment throughout and the finale of the
afternoon session decidedly sensational.
Feeling was at high tension over an
argument that was in; progress before
Chairman Johnston over the contested
delegation from Kenton county, the
home of William Goebel, one of the
leading candidates for governor. Con-
gresham Ellis of the Sixth district, a
venerable general of much eloquence,
was eloquently presenting the Goebel
side of the case and was being inter-
rupted at short intervals by noisy
demonstrations of approval. AS much
of this interference came from the
stage, which was crowded with candi-
dates, guests and newspaper men,
Charm an Johnston announced the plat
form would be cleared at the next in
terruption. A 200-pound ruralite, a
little the worse for political an3 spirit
uous excitement, mounted a chair and
Challenged Chairman Johnston
to carry out his threat announcing Incl
dentally that force would be necessary
in his case. Quick as fash Jim Will.
Jams started from the front of the plat
form for the intruder. Williams is a
local character of some repute in gun
merry and his activity was the signal for
stampede towards the exits. Almost
everyone was standing on chair when
the affair occurred and the result was a
general scramble to get out of the way
and general disarrangemento Of furni-
ture. Half a dozen men surrou nded the
belligerents and the disturber was hus-
tied out. Not, however, until the
crowd had cleared space in the mid
die of the stage about 80 feet in diane
ter, having fringe Of humanity around
the edge, crouched on the corners or be-
hind sheltering walls. AS no weapon
was drawn this struck the humor of the
crowd and quiet was restored, but
meanwhile Chairman Johnston had de-
clared the convention adjourned until
evening,
