THEFUSlON CONVENTION
The Committee Makes Its ROOrt.
Both Parties Will Fuse the Nominees Reno Today
JOHN SPARKS WILL BE NOMINEE GOVERNOR

Yesterday proved one of suspense a
in this city to the politicians, both in
the ranks of the Fusionists and the Re 4
publicans; in fact many of them seem i
ed to take more interest in what news
came than the real interested parties. t
Like the day before the town was t
filed with rumOrs. One man would
come down the street with news that
Sadler had been placed in nomination
and the next man would state that it {
was Sparks in a walk. nc
The Howell-Roff fight seemed to be t
in the same condition, while the fight
for Congressman was VanDuzer all
day long. j.
A few dispatches and telephone mes
sages came over the wire, and theycon
Heyed only rumors. The little infor-
nation that was conveyed was to the
effect that the conference committees
of the two parties, who nave TIE selec-
ton of the delegates in their power,
had not reported, and IRIS one feature
had stopped the machinery. The CON-
mittee consistes of a delegate from |
each county in the State. the same |
number being appointed from each
convention Naturally with this num-
Der of men to handle the affairs, the
work drags, as it is the desire of both
factions to select a strong and VIM
ing ticket.
The committee went into session at
l O'Clock and up to the time that the
local train left Reno, nothing had been
done. Parties about town had ceased
to endeavor to name ticket ard by
the time the returning delegates re-
turned on the delayed train, every
litical aspirations had been placed in
nomination by the knowing ones about
town.
Possibilities
Among the passengers from Reno
were Lieutenant Governor Judge and
Bob Logan. Mr.. Judge stepped from
the train and was surrounded by
frineds in moment, who wished to
know the situation. He stated that
the conference committee had not re
ported when he left and it was his be
lief that it would not until a late hour
as they had many matters to consid
er and several difficult problems tt
crack
For the Governorship fight. he wa.
OF the opinion that Sparks would b.
the nominee with Lem Allen as Lieu
tenant.
AS for the fight between Howell ant
Rolf. it was strictly prOblamatical
Both men claimed majority and tn
fight was still on with a bright pros
pect for it's continuance until the fina
vote was taken. The appearance Q
the Lieutenant Governor in this cit
was stronger action than a whole &C
umn of words that he was out of tn
fight. When asked IF he was in tn
hands of his friends" he answere
game.
Bob Logan was of the opinion tn:
the conference committee would NJ
MAKE it's report until this evening" an
that the nominations would go ov,
until today. Like Mr. Judge, he b
lieved that Sparks would be the G
bernatOrial nominee, with Lemr ALE
as the second.
AS for the fight for Congress
could only see VanDuzer in the rim
though there was considerable talk
dark horse coming into the areI
at the last moment and taking the pc
mony prevailed throughout the tv
meetings and that he looks to see
strong ticket placed before the pc
pie.
Last Evening.
RENO, New, August 27-The me-
ings of the conference committe
have kept the candidates in as mu
suspense as the public, and while
is known that they have had ma
wrinkles to straighten out, yet t
fact that no discord has prevailed
a matter of satisfaction to all parti
who desire to see fusion. There
now no doubt but that Sadler is q
of the fight in order that harmo
will prevail. Sparks, it is thong
will receive the nomination for G.

to have the lines drawn for Lieutena
