companied by his counsel A. l. EIkus.
was admitted TO the room. where the

which. he said, showed that
Mr.. Devery had paid money 10 jnfu-
ence voters and 10 encourage them to

Late tonight II was rumored that
prominent party leaders. including
John B. Stanchfield and Elicit Dan
iorth. had gone TO Senator Hill and in
formed him that in their judgment 1t
would be political suicide 10 put De-
very out of the convention, and that
he had succeeded in creating a strong
sentiment in his favor since his ar
'iyal here. Mr.. Hill is said 10 have
old them that ne had reconsidered the
natter and that possibly IL would be
best TO permit Devery and his fellow
delegates TO take seats as the regular
from the Ninth. This.
however, could not be confirmed.
