McLEAN's PLANS WORK OUT,
Getting Many Anti-Bryan Delegate
From State of Ohio.

Getting Many Anti-Bryan Delegates
From State of Ohio.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS. Ohio, May 21-Only here
and there are democratic county commit
tees calling for popular selections of dele
gates to the state convention, which is only
three weeks Off The plan Of John r. Nc
Lean to secure an anti-Bryan state conven-
ton by the selection of delegates by the
county central committees. outlined in
these dispatches several weeks ago, is
plainly going into effect, but not without
some opposition In jefferson county H. H.
McFaddon and other prominent democrats
have issued call for primary election to
select delegates over the head of the regu-
lar committee which Mclean controls
The Enquirer, McLean's paper today
makes vicious attack upon Charles A.
Towne now generally regarded as Bryan's
choice for running mate, thus further indi-
eating McLeans opposition to Bryan.
Another View of the Situation.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
CLEV ELAND. Ohio. May 21.-There is
strong probability that John r. Mclean
cannot control the Ohio delegation at the
Kansas City convention unless he comes out
quickly for Bryan. Counties he controlled
last year are selecting anti-McLean delega-
tons. Stark. Wayne. Richland and TlIs-
caravans, all big counties. have been lost to
Mclean already.
1t is McLean's intention to omit all refer
ence to 16 to / in the state platform but
the Bryan democrats of the state have de-
cded to reaffirm the Chicago platform The
apparent failure of Mclean to keep his
hand the lever in Ohio indicates clearly
that Deweys possibilities in this state are
lost.

KlNYOUN TO TAKE CHARGE
QUARANTINE AT FRISCO

Authorities.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 21.-The federal
authorities at Washington have Instructed
DR.. Ktnyoun, quarantine officer at-this port,
to take charge of measures to suppress the
bubonic plague, which the local board OF
health has declared exists here.
What action Dr. Kinyoun will take has
not yet been announced. The action of the
Washington officials Is thought to be due
not to the seriousness of the situation. but
to the inability of the San Francisco au-
thorites to compel the Chinese and Japa-
nese to take precautionary measures
against the spread of the plague If 1t still
exists here.
The embargo on the departure Of Chinese
from the city unless they can show certifi-
Gates of innocuatien Is still in force. Bust
ness In Chinatown Is almost at q stand
still.
The merchants have closed their stores
and the Chinese remain within doors. The
Chinese insist that the plague Uoes not
exist among Them and that there Is no
necessity for innoculation. They will not
submit to it, and it will have to be done oy
force, II at all.

IMPORTED MEN GO BACK

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. May 21.-About the same
number Of lines operated last week by the
st. Louis Transit Company are running cars
today. and efforts are being made to put
others in shape to resume. A conservative
estimate places the number of cars running
over these lines at 200, compared with 500
in operation under normal conditions.
Repair crews were sent out early over the
Easton avenue. Vandeventer avenue. Belle
fontaine and other lines to remove debris
from the tracks and replace trolley wires
and poles where they had been taken down
and carried away by strike sympathizers.
This work Of obstruction and destruction is
very great and has resulted in tieing up the
Lines mentioned.
The influx Of non-union men from other
cities to take the places Of striking street
car motormen and conductors continues. AS
they arrive in Union station these men are
met by committees of strikers. who use
their persuasive powers to get the men to
return home. Considerable success attends
these efforts.
