Kansas City Mo. June The Commit -
on Credentials late tonight 'ffcctually seq
tied all contests in 81. Louis and Kansas
City. so far as the committee Is concerned.
by a close vote the Kansas City affair was
settled on a compromise.
The regular or ButleT-Hawes delegates
Will be recommended for seats when the
convention meets IN the morning. This de-
termination was arrived a. without hcariu;
any argument on either side. 1t was dis
c,.ssed only in committee behind closed
doors. and the vote was practically uraui-
nous. After the Kansas city contests b ~
been settled the ST. louis contests were
taken up.
This means the fight Will come up on the
floor Of the convention.
The Braiy-Lamp- Eowitt faction In st.
Louis were taken by surprise by the action
of the Committee on Credentials in r'tus-
ing. without a hearing, to seat all their
delegations. They held several conferences
without arriving at any definite conclusion
as to- the alyiSaLility Of continuing the
fight OF ;Fc !pDr of tie convention ;o-mor-
row. u IS predicted by many that they Will
crop their contests.

Credentials. after the convention TOOK

Of the Circuit Courthouse. J. J. But
Ter Of 81. Louis was made chairman. and
Peyton Parks OF Henry County secretary.
The committee adjourned until 2.30 o'clock.
on reconvcniug. the contest from the
Eighth Ward was taken up without delay.
Each side was permitted two attorneys and
allowed thirty minutes 10 make statements
and arguments. Both sides were allowed to
introduce three Witnesses and four sworn
afiidayits each.
The Eighth Ward contest was rather tire
come and devoid Of much incident. The
contestants on the Reed faction were rep
resented by Ed Silver and II. a. Fyke.
while Franz; Walsh and William II. Wal
lace acted for the cnr:es;ccs.
Mr. FSte alleged that the judge in the
Eighth Ward rrimaray had refused to count
their ballots ana said they had to hold
meeting at the polls, elect new judges and
clerks and proceed with the hallotinc.
Mr.. Walsh declared the police had tried
forcihiy TO secure the ballot box. and when
they did not succeed in that they got n soap
