His Minister at Washington
Urges that Warships Be
Held Off.
New York Sun Special Service.


Washington, June 30.-The sultan
of Turkey is beginning to sit up and
notice things. He has become con-
WINGED that there Is something more
than talk behind the threat to send
a fleet to Turkey if the American de-
mands are not promptly compiled
with. s
Chekib Bey, who is recognized as
Turkish minister, tho he never has
presented his credentials, called on
Assistant Secretary LOOMS yester-
day to ask just what this country
wants, and to urge that no warships
be sent to enforce the demands.
There is reason to believe that the
Turkish minister was given no en-
couragement in his efforts to secure
a further delay. Mr.. LOOMS init
mated plainly that the only way for
the sultan to avoid trouble was to
extend at once fuller recognition to
American interests in Turkey and set
tie the long standing missionary
claims

Conference on Committees.

Inc opening OF the convention was
greatly delayed by long conference
between Senator Moses E. Clapp, the
agreed candidate for temporary chair
man, w. B. Anderson, representing the
Dunn forces, and r. P. Brewer, James
A. Martin, w. III. Grimshaw repre-
senting the Cenins forces. The Dunn
and Collins leaders were unable to
agree, and talked warmly in support
Of various propositions for the appoint
ment Of a committee on credentials.
Collins wanted a hand in naming
mem bers of the committee on creden-
tials. From his side came the sug-
gestion that the Collins men present
| five members Of such a committee. the
Dunn side five members and Eddy two
members. This would make a fair
committee as between the leading con-
testants; moreover, it was large
| enough to give every part of the state
a representation, but not too large to
be unWieldy. It was further proposed
| that no members should be selected
from a contesting delegation. Mr.. An
derson refused to accept this PROPOSE
ton, seeming to regard it with great
suspicion. His suggestion was that
Mr.. Clapp be permitted to name
! a committee Of twenty on the commit
tee on credentials, one member for
each judicial district with two from
Hennepin and two from Ramsey.
Neither side would consent to the
| others proposition, and SO, on the adj
vice Of Senator Clapp, it was decided
| to adjourn until 2 o'clock as soon as
the convention had been formally
! opened by Senator Clapp's address

at the theater. At 10 o'clock not more
than one-ttird Of the seats were Oc-
