ConCiIate Gov. Lind..-Test Will Come on Vote for

about the only prominent man who
talked Hearst about the hotel today.
He did not pretend to claim that
Hearst has any chance of nomination,
but characterized the other faction as
reorganizers.
Seeks to conciIiate Lind
Hennepin county's turning down of
Lind in its recent convention has
aroused such storm of criticism
throughout the state that the Henne-
pin Hearst delegation today put out a
circular headed, "Hennepin County
and Gov. Lind" The circular denies
that the crowd is fighting Lind and dis
cusSed the situation in Hennepin and
in the country at large. The circular
is in a conciliatory tone, but the same
men who put it out are abusing Lind
in the Duluth hotels tonight, though it
is reported that the Hearst men have
made overtures looking to the selec-
ton of Lind as a delegate at large.
The ex-governor has said frankly, how
ever, that he will not go to st. Louis
instructed for Hearst. Lind is stand
ing pat, and T. D. O'Brien said tonight
that fully two-thirds or three fourths
of the delegates believed that his de-
feat in Hennepin was ill-advised and
ill-timed and they would show it to-
morrow when the convention is or
ganized and delegates at large are
chosen to st. Louis.
Two Sets of Hearst Resolutions
The Hearst men are said to have
two sets of resolution for protestation
TO the convention tomorrow. One is a
copy of the Illinois resolutions, which
instructs the delegates to the national
convention to vote for Hearst as long
as there is a possible show for him.
The other simply instructs for the New
York publisher and leaves it to the
judgment of the delegates when to
leave him. 1t is said, in view of their
failing strength, no effort will be made
to present the stronger resolutions and
should the convention be controlled by
the element favoring no instructions,
it is possible that they Will not offer
either set of resolutions.
Only One Contest
In spite of the fierce nature of the

contesting delegations will appear to-
morrow. The rival delegations are
from Polk county. Alexander Thomp-
son and McKinnon are already here
with their delegation and Nat Carpen-
ter and his Hearst delegation will come
in the morning. The state central COM
mittee tonight decided to pass the
question of seating the Polk county
| delegation up to the credentials COM
mittee, and whichever faction con-
trolls the convention will seat it's dele
cation from Polk. This has been tao
lily agreed upon tonight.
Frank Zins, who made valiant
fight and succeeded in beating the
| original Minnesota Hearst man, James
r. Bennett Jr., of st. Cloud, in their
home county, brought his county dele
cation Of thirty-one to Duluth to-
night. Each wears a button inscribed
For President Give Us Any Good
Democrat" and Zins is being doomed
as a conservative candidate for dele
gate at large. A. c. Weiss, the Duluth
publisher, withdrew in his favor to-
| night, and the Ramsey county delega-
ton has practically decided to support
Zins for the place. r. T. O'Connor said
