 Bitterness Crops Out.
 Bitterness between the leaders of the Pennypacker and Elkins factions crop ped out several times during a meeting of the Republican State Committee this afternoon to prepare the roll of delegates and select the temporary officers of to- morrow's State convention. Senator Quay, the leader of the Pennypacker forces, and Attorney General Elkins, who was In personal command of his adher- ents, shook their fingers In each others face and threatened political reprisals if each was not given fair treatment in the disposition of the contested seats in the convention
 State Chairman Reeder accused Sena- tor Quay of making a deliberate mis- statement. and the Senator instantly re- piled that this was an insult which he resented. The Pennypacker forces had a decisive majority in the committee and United States Senator Penrose was named for temporary chairman.
 During the proceedings Senator Quay challenged the right of Chairmdn Reeder in appointing a member of the commit tee from Chester County to fill death vacancy
 '"The senator will recollect that a va cancy occurred in the United States Sem ate from this state few years ago and 1t was thought so important that 1t was filled by the governor" concluded MT Elkins

 For reasons which the gentleman knows" replied MT. Elkin,
 Senator Quay moved that the names of Senator Penrose and A. E. l.. Shields of Philadelphia be added to the committee on contested seats.
 Another Sharp Colloquy.
 Mir. Elkin said I've only ask that dele gates who have been fairly elected be seated. We don't want any nomination that does not come fairly" You will get no nomination that comes anyway" retored Senator Quay. h. stantly MT. Elkin was on his feet and shaking his finger in MT Quay's face, said; T will get the nomination if the people have their will in Pennsylvania. Fair play is what we want
 That's what you are going to get" replied MT. Quay, who also was on his feet shaking his finger at MT. Elkin.
 "I don't care" said Mir. Elkin, whether you put these two men on the committee or not. You can pack 1t If you want to, you can also seat delegates If you want to, but you have got to reckon with the people and that reckoning will come"
 The motion that Messrs. Penrose and Shields be added to the committee was adopted by 72 to 45.
