/ the 100 Tammany deitadtes 10 'le stat.
Convention woula support a resolution n
| struc:ing the National delegates to support

| tion
TIN means that a clear majority e n e

| tion viii follow suit. for enough dr;eg-tt, :
FROM the country districts have already
| been instructed 10 make certain Cf at least
tfty-three majority.
Mr. Carrolrs statement was issued within
short time after he had received cable
message from Ar. Croker. That message
Is said to have contained the strongest kind
of directions to have the Tammany dele
/, gates support a resolution of instructions.
II is also said 10 have had in il the an
nouncement that Mr.. Croker had found it
impossible to reach herr. III time TO attend
the State Convention. He hoped, however
10 sail fer New York on June 10 and get
here in ample time 70 so as deirgate-at-
large TO the Democratic National COnyen-
tion.
The Tammany decision to support resalu-
tions of instruction i not in accord with
David b. IIilTs plan. The Senator thought
on leaving town Saturday that everything
was practically fixed for a simple indorse-
ment of Colonel Bryan by resolution. He
expressed himself unaiterably opposed
10 having the national delegates instructed.
-.
lie might decline 10 become a delesate-at-
large should he have to go 20 Kansas City
under Instructions. Senator Hilis friends
believe however, that he Will accede to any
programme upon which a majority Of the
delegates 10 the State Convention agree.
John + Carroll said tonight:
Il do not believe that the attitude Of the
TaTnmany Hall orga nizatiun at the State
Convention will be either doubtful or equiv
ocal. As far as ! have. been able TO consult
with the representative men cf the Organi-
cation. they entirely accord with my vi"y
"f both the propriety and eXpedi.ncy Of
sending; to the National Convention a del
ega'iOn instructed for William i. Bryan as
the presidential candidate. L is safe to say
that every delegate froIh the organization
will favor the programme. and whatever
influence | may possess will be eNerted to
impress the desirabi:ity of It's adoption upon
the delegates from the other localities in
the State"
The new county delegates number 105
Already delegates TO the number Of Ia have
been pledged to Bryan, making total TO
the State Convention in favor of instruc-
tion of 213. The total delegates TO the State
Convention number l5o. or a majority in
favor of instructi1g for Bryan of IS.
SENATOR JONES'S VIEWS.
REPUBLIC Special.
Washington. May Ex-senator Jones of
Arkansas, chairman of the National Demo-
cratic Convention, after reading the inter-
view with Mr. Croker in London. in which
he heartily indorsed Colonel Bryan. said:
1T is an important declaration and viii
have great weight among the Democrats,
particularly in the East. l have always be-
Geved that Mr.. Croker was loyal to Mr..
Bryan and the Democratic policy. and
would say so in a way that would not per-
nit his position 10 BE- misunderstood. He
is a man of influence in the party organi-
zation in New York, and this recent utter
ance will be of value 10 the party. Mr..
Crokers statement that trusts and i'm
peria!iSin will he important factors in this
campaign comedies with my own views
The people know the injuries inflicted by
these trusts and they feeling the bur-
dens and suffering the ills that grow out |
of Imperialism. They are ready to cast |
their votes against the party that inflicted |
the country with both of them" |
National Committeeman Daniel of North |
Carolina said:
While Bryan's nomination is certain It |
would crafty the hearts of the militant |
Democracy everywhere to see the stalwart
Democratic hosts Of the Empire State lead |
In making the nomination unanimous. II |
would give renewed faith and confidence 10
the Democrats in every section and help
win victory if New York would join both /
Carolina and Nebraska in instructins for
Bryan- Croker's words give cheer and in
spiration."
Senator Teller Of Colorado said:
Il am glad to learn by Mr.. CrGkcr's dec
laration that the strong Democratic or
ganizaton of New York will heartily sun
port Mr.. Bryan. not only for the nomina-
tion. but will enthusiastically work for his |
success at the polls. This is significant as
the marked change of opinion
in the East as to Mr.. Bryan and the prin-
ciples which he advocates. l am confident |
Of success.
