and HEARST
COMBINE

Springfield. H., June 1.-THE plan OF
John p. Hopkins of Chicago and the
majority OF the members OF the state
central committee to make Frank p.
Quinn of Peoria. temporary chairman of
the Democratic state convention which
met today has forced the Hearst and Har-
rson factions OF the party into an
alliance, defensive and offensive.
The deal between Harrison and Hearst
was arranged last night, but the fact that
1t had been made was guarded with the
greatest secrecy. There were six men
representing Harrison and Hearst In the
conference and each pledged himself TO
say nothing OF the compact until after the
adjournment OF the subcommittee OF the
state central body. 1t was feared that
IL the Hopkins men knew OF the arrange
ment they would offset II by unseating a
sufficient number OF Harrison and Hearst
men to leave them in full control OF the
convention.
The deal is advantageous TO the Har-
rison people. for while they have about
one-fifth as many delegates as Hearst.
they are to have one-half the delegates at
large TO the national convention and an
equal voice in naming the candidates for
the state offices. provided the alliance is
able to control the convention. as its
leaders express themselves confident OF
doing.
The Harrison people on their part have
agreed TO vote an instructed Hearst dele
CATION and 10 secure the withdra wal OF
Chairman James r. Williams from the
presidential race. Edrard I,ahiff of chi
cago, who was one of the Harrison men

would withdraw II requested TO DO so by
hts backers from Chicago.

strength.
The situation was laser made more COM
plex by the announcement OF Congress-
man Williams that he was not Inclined
to withdraw "a his Cook county friends
had said he would do. williams has 81
instructed delegates in the convention
would be left to him II Cook county
! should abandon him. There IL talk OF
two conventions being held In the same
hail IN the event OF the Hopkins people
being able TO prevent a roll call It Is GER

| and equally sure that Hopkins will rule
Il an long as he prevents q roll call.
There are. therefore, likely 10 be several

proposition as soon as the convention
meets.
