Subcommittees.

Met to Receive Reports of Various
subcommittee.
st. Louis, July 5.-The national com
mittee met this morping to receive the
reports of the various subcommittee
appointed yesterday to consiler the
contests in the various states. All OF
these contests were settled last night
with the exception of Illinois and New
Jersey.
In the case Of Illinois it was report
ed before the meeting of the committee
that the report would be in favor of
uneseating the Hopkins delegates in
the second, ninth andftwenty-first, six
teenth and twenty third districts. In
all other districts contests and in the
case of the delegates at large the con-
testers are to retain their seats.
Carter Harrison, of Chicago, is one
of the delegates from the ninth dis
trict and by this action would be seat
ed.
In New Jersey the contests were
abandoned in the fifth, sixth and
eighth districts, and the fight main
tanned in the first and second dis
tricts. The committee decided to re-
port in favor of the regular delegates
in both cases, chiefly because the
contestants were not able to produces
convincing evidence in support OF their
claim that between 60 and 70 of their
delegates We're thrown ont of their
state conventions.

he had furnished to Mr. Brennan the
names of the delegates selection in
their district caucus, and that twice
Mr.. Brennan had thrown it on the
floor, and he had found it there, and
he had submitted it to The committee.
This brought Brennan to his feet with
an impassioned denial of the asser-
tions made by Mr.. Katy, and he wound
up his declaration that Everybody
knows that 1 would not do such q
thing"
This called forth jeers from the
contestants and Brennan took his seat
in silence.

German vote as a result of Pennsyl-

The fight in the Illinois delegation
involved thirteen districts and two
of the delegates at large, and was one
of the tiercest ever seen before any
convention. The hearing yesterday
and last night before the subcommit-
tee on tie national committee was
only preliminary exercise for both
sides. Several times last night the
retort sbetween the contesting fac
tiOns were of so heated a nature that
Chairman Stone, of the subcommit-

for order and once suggested that
the gentlemen from Illinois would find
outside of the hotel a proper place to
conduct their arguments if their minds
were made up for bull fight"

There was some gossip about the

day, but this has not taken any def
mite shape at this hour. The Parker
managers said last night that they
hoped their instructed states would
hold on the first ballot for their candi-

is admittedly serious blow to thg
efforts Of the 'favorite sons" and this
morning the air is full of suggestions
that Hearst and Olney and Wall shouln
take steps to relieve the delegates
instructed for them The Parker man
ayers are confident that the New YcNI
man will show clear majority on the
first ballot and that following the prec-
edent Of all former Democratic nation
al conventions, this showing would
Immediately bring into line a suf-
ticient number of states to give him
the necessary two-thirds of the total
vote of the convention Such a re.
suit, it is urged, would be simply fol.
lowing the historic record of the party
at their national conclaves.
