so far as I have been Informed, the Mis-

vice presidency at all. They are an un-
pledged delegation and the matter has not
been formally brought TO their attention.
For that matter. from all 1 can learn. no
delegation has yet given the Ques-
tion serious consideration. At this time it

The evening session OF the committee was
devoted to the Delaware contest Walter

Levi c. Bird for the Dupont delegation.
Members Of the committee made an effort
to ge, the two delegations TO compromise
their differences. The Addicks followers
said they were willing to do this. but the
regulars replied that they had no authority
from their party organization to make any
concessions.
When the hearing was concluded the COM
mittee went into executive session for the
consideration of the case.
