SANTA CRUZ, Cal, May 16.-The
preliminary skirmish in the Democratic
state convention today was won by
the forces opposing the sending of a
delegation to the national convention

delegation instructed for Hearst made
a gallant fight. losing the battle for
the control of the convention by the
close vote of 367 to 345.
The test came on the vote for tenn
porary chairman. Fir this position the
Hearst people named former Lieut.
Gov. w. T. Jeter, of Santa Cruz, while
Frank P. Gould, of San Francisco,
former speaker of the assembly, led the
anti-Hearst forces. After a struggle
the vote stood: Gould, 367; Jeter, 345.
Gould's election was brought about by
the vote of the San Francisco dele
cation, which was largely against
Jeter.
The next struggle in the convention
will come on the adoption of resolu-
ton instructing the delegation to st.
Louis to support Hearst. The anti
Hearst people will make a strong fight
against instruction. The leaders of
the Hearst faction announce they will
make no compromise, but must have
an instructed delegation. After COM

Gen. John Benjamin Sanborn, who
had been lying in comatese condition
at his residence, No. 1877 East Ninth
street, for the past ten days, died Mon
day morning at s o'clock.
In the death of Gen. Sanborn one of
the foremost citizens of St. Paul has
passed away. A resident of the state
for practically half century, he had
occupied a prominent 5Dlace in the
legal, political, financial and social life
of his city and state, and during the
time of war had been q sseldier with
splendid record. A commanding figure
in every sense of the word, he lived to
round out nearly fourscore of years.
His death at the end of q long and
honorable career, simply emphasized
the inevitable and his family is left the
heritage of life well spent, and with
no stain on a career that was more
than ordinarily filed with public ac-
tivities.
Gen. Sanborn, in spite of his seven
ty-eight years, had been in compare
lively good health until some weeks
ago. He had not been in active legal
practice for the past year, but still re-
tanned his law partnership and made
the law Office of J. B. & E. P. Sanborn
his business Office while attending to
his large private interests.
Late in March he was seized by a
gangrenous affection of the foot, due,
probably, to a faulty circulation. The
foot gave him some pain, but the
symptom was not considered danger
Gus until two weeks ago, when his
family and friends became alarmed.
The best of medical skill was given
him, but 1t proved unavatling.
For the past ten days Gen. Sanborn
had been in comatose condition, ral-
lying at times sufficiently to recognize
those about his bedside, but during the
greater portion of the period being OBJ
livious of his surroundings. For the
past week absolutely no hope has been
held out for his recovery, for his age
coupled with the insidious nature OF
his malady, made hope hopeless.
He grew weaker from day to day

absolute determination of Gov. Yates
not to be sidetracked In the guber-

when the contest in the convention
was renewed TO-DAY with the announce
ment of the Yates managers that the

withdraw, and had Indignantly refused
to consider the proposition.
During a conference, at which
Speaker Cannon, Senator Hopkins and
Congressman Lorimer were present,
Gov. Yates is reported to have been
taken up on a high mountain and
shown the Kingdoms of the world.
With the exception of the governor all
the parties to the conference emphat-
ically deny the Yates version of what
took place. 1t is declared that the re-
ported attempt to bribe Mr.. Yates
with the offer of a $4,000 appointment
is the result of a strained nervous con-
dition on his part. The issue has be-
come one of veracity and has added
fuel to the bitterness of the contest.
THE story is substantially correct"
said Gov. Yates.
