At II a. m. Chairman Murphy of the
state central committee called the con-
vention to order. The attendance is
by no means full. very few of the 18th
rived. In order to give the latter a
chance to vote on the organization, it
was decided to take no action before
2 o'clock and an adjournment was
taken accordingly.
The Hearst program now is Jeter for
chairman, instructions for Hearst, and
the unit rule. The McNab program is
Gould for chairman. no instructions,
while most of the conservative leaders
no unit rule and DoCkweiler and
Geary as delegates at large. The in
dication before the time for calling
the convention to order are that the
battle will be a sharp one and that
Gould will win by about 60 votes.
Just before the convention met at
2 o'clock it was announced that the
Hearst people probably would with
draw Jeter from the craftsmanship
race, it was still undecided at las

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, May 16.-When
the democratic state convention was
called TO order today evidence of a bit
ter fight between the conservatives
and the Hearst followers over the con-
troll of the organization Immediately
cropped out. Stories of a good ma
tured struggle for control put into cir
culation failed to bear fruit and when
the delegates began to gather all in
dications pointed to one Of the most
sensational struggles in the history of
the party in this state. Early this
morning the caucuses failed to show
any sign of a compromise, although
the conservatives were willing to make
anv reasonable concession for the sake
decided to stand by their guns and to
make the test relative to strength on
the floor of the convention.
A test vote not occurring until after
o'clock the delegates were compelled
to do a great deal of guessing as to
which side carries the strength and
accordingly what the program would
be.

ST. LOUIS. May 16.-Prince Oukh-
tomsky. editor Of the st. Petersburg
Weidomosti, is here TO represent Rus
sian in the press congress. Discussing
the so-Japanese war he declared
that the present war is not popular in
his country because few people out
side of the government, army, navy
and residents of the large cities know
that there is a war. The news of
Russian reverses viii sooner or later
reach the general populace, when the
war will become popular. Russia
will send millions Of troops into the
field when the necessity arises. The
talk of peace is idle. There will be
none, until Russia asserts her su-
premacy over the territory at stake.

and give Hearst equal representation
on all committees with the under
standing that if Hearst failed to Sc
cure the delegation the delegates
would cast their first vote compli-
mentary to the congressman.
Tarpey would not hear Of it and
that closed the negotiations between
the factions. 1t was discovered by
Tarpey at noon that he had met with
very embarrassing circumstances in
connection with the Alameda county
delegation. He had always claimed
the entire delegation Of forty. At the
last the conservatives got to work
and by shreWd maneuvering succeed
ed in splitting the delegation so that
25 and probably one more will stand

south for places, as delegates. the
Hearst machine also lost twelve votes
of San Diego, which it had counted
upon.
