Nothing will be done in Germans behalf
at the Democratic convention to be held
at Harrisburg next month. The convention
will not indicate where the State delegates
will stand.
Incidentally It can be said that Chauncey

ofhcer of the State Convention. It has been
said that Robert E. Pattison Is to secure
the State delegates for the National Con-
vention.
His name Is not to be brought forward
for the presidency. and 1t is doubtful II he
will receive q complimentary vote. Mil
