Chicago, was reelected chairman OF the
State Central Committee, after bitter
contest with Mayor Carter H. Harrison.
The election of Chairman Hopkins
produced the only contest in the con-
vention, but it was stirring enough to
make up for the tameness that char
acterized the other proceedings.

The day was full of clashes between
Hopkins and Harrison. The two men
indulged in an acrimonious quarrel in the
St. Nicholas Hotel during the morning, IN
which Hopkins bitterly resented criticisms
made Dy Harrison regarding the cam
paign methods attributed to Hopkins by
Harrison. Later, Harrison and his
friends succeeded in beating Hopkins In
the district caucus for State Committeeman
and elected Thomas j. McNally, OF
Chicago, in his stead. Hopkins one
chance to be reelected chairman was in
the caucus of the general committee APP
pointed to select the chairman.
The committee, after a majority OF
three, recommended the selection of Hop
klns. A minority report favoring the cleo
ton of Harrison. was made and the fight
carried to the floor of the convention.

adherence to the fundamental principles
of the Democratic party az laid down IN
the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States, affirm

PardOns in His Behalf.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 26.-Arrangements
were completed tonight for the presenta-
tion tomorrow to the Board of Pardons of
an imposing petition for the release Of
Frank Hamilton, the former newspaper
man now serving a seven-year term in the
saltwater penitentiary for killing Leonard
Day, a young millionaire. Day was stabbed
in an early morning brswl in the West
hotel, and for time doubt was felt as to
whether Hamilton or another member OF
the party had given the fatal thrust. At
the time Of the trial many intimations de-
veloped Of a scandal which was never dis
closed in It's entirety, but which led to the
suspicion that the real motive for the af-
fray had not been fully told. Hamilton
has wealthy relatives in the east. He came
here from Denver, where he served as
