looked like a coyentlon city IN good
earnest today. The early trains brought
in many who are to take part in the
convention and IN the hotel corridors
were men whose faces have become
familiar by reason OF being seen for
years at great national Democratic
gatherings. Among them were james
d. Richardson Of Tennessee. Augustus
VanWyok. Of New York. d. j. Campau.
Of Michigan, w. j. Stone. OF Missouri,
Amos Cummings OF New York, j. j..
Norris of Washington. d. c., and many
others who came to be present at the
prelimlnarles.
The subcommittee Of the national
comrlIttee met today TO make final
arrangements for the convention. AL
though the committee does not take in-
to consideration the larger AFFAIRS Of the
convention. the very fact that Il WAS in
session brought a great many men
about the rooms Of Secretary Walsh,
where the meeting was held. This ma
turally caused more or less. discussion
about convention prospects. and there
was talk about the temporary chairman
the permanent organization and the IS
TO declaration The greatest interest.
however was shown in the vice pres-
dental nomination. Benjamin L. Shlv-
veley Of Indiana. was seen for a short
time in the corridors OF the Baltimore
Hotel He stands about G feet 8 inches
and wore rough rider hat, "He is the
Roosevelt Of this convention easily
enough said some one.
To the Associated Press Mr.. Shveley
said he had nothing 10 say. i am
keeping quiet in several languages"
was his remark
Am l candidate for Vice Presi-
dent2 No"
Are you doing anything to keep
your friends from pressing your
claims?'
Yes, am, replied Mr.. Shiveley. Just
then some one came up and replied:
Wei. you're in 1t sure and you can't
help yourself"
II may receive cards 10 that effect
later was his reply. but just now Is
time 20 keep quiet"

would accept, but as yet he has given

State Is for the man who in our opin-
ion can poll the most votes We have
never been able 10 win without getting
Indiana and New York. and vice pre-

II Is already apparent that the Croker
wing and the Hill wing Of the New York
Democracy are pulling apart. The New
York men already here say that
Croker Is much dlspeased with the
course Hin has pursued and the Tam
many men who We're speaking favor

didate have received severe "call
down" from the Tammany chief. 1t is
said that Hill Is likely 10 make trouble
In the convention. but just how is not
apparent at present. Il is believed that

would be a great disappointment for
