Washington. June 30.-Representa&ive
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, the
minority leader of the house of repre-
sentatives, will be the temporary chair
man Of the St. Louis convention. This
has been decided upon by a conference
in this city between Senator German
of Maryland, ex-senator James Smith
of New Jersey, Col. James Guffey and
his friend. William Brennan, of Pitts
burg; John r. Mclean of Ohio and
Washington and ex-senator James K.
Jones of Arkansas, who is still chair
man of the Democratic national com
mittee. So stealthy was the coming of
the Democratic chieftainS that nobody
knew they were here until they had
gone.
1t was said by several Democrats who
nave talked with Senator German that
he does not regard himself as candi-
date for the nomination and that he
still believes Judge Parker to be the
most likely nominee. Senator German
gave out for publication the following
to meet the rumor that he was planning
defeat for Parker:
