hours of debate. the democratic ma

resolution indorsing the candidacy of
Thomas Taggart for chairman OF the
committee, and the committee adj

call OF Former Chairman Jones. No

no right to meet at present.

make up, met at 2:30 o'clock Sunday
morning and again at o'clock In he
afternoon with the avowed intention
on behalf of supporters of Thomas
Taggart of Indiana OF organizing by
electing Taggart chairman.
| The early morning meeting was not
fully attended and the object aimed
at was not accomplished. 1t was
| pointed out by Mr.. Mack Of New York
| that 1t would be discourteous to take
any action until Mr.. Parker was con-
suited.
The Taggart men, not having
| enough to elect. suggested that Mr.
Hill, Mr. Sheehan and Mr.. Belmont,
Parker's friends, were still here, and
adopted a resolution that they be in
vited to meet the committee. When
| afternoon came there were three new
complications in the way of electing
Chairman JONES' OF the old committee
boldly asserted that such action as
contemplated, would be unprecedented,
l a. nlc
that at a late hour the convention
adopted resolution authorizing Chair
man Jones Of the old committee to
call the new committee together IN
New York at such time as he might
suggest.
Then the other thing was that Sen
ator Hill and Mr.. Sheehan left for
New York at noon and could not
therefore, attend the meeting.

statement to the Associated Press:

and asked to give Judge Parker s
