FIGHT HEARST
IIinois Democrats Win Wagel
Bitter FactionaI War in Their
Convention Tomorrow.

Springfield, ILL.,, June s.-caniidates
who are to be nominated in the demo-
cratic state convention called for to-
morrow have been showed into the
background by the bitter factional
fight for control Of the state machin-
cry. The selection OF candidate for
governor and the question as to wheth-
er Illinois shall send to the st. Louis
convention a delegation instructed for
William Randolph Hearst occupied a
small section of the background when
compared with the problem as to
whether John P. Hopkins Of Chicago
shall retain his position at the head Of
the state central committee or whether
he shall be deposed and his power
given to Millard Dunlap. Theodore Nell
son and other men. all Of whom are ac-
lively working to promote the interests
Of Hearst. The bitter fight waged
against Hopkins personally is what the
Hopkins men consider a practical de-
mand by the Hearst managers that
Hopkins and certain Of his followers
jump into the era OF Oblivion and al
low the world to forget them. This
has aroused the wrath OF the Hopkins
people, and they are talking tonight Of
forcing Hearst to accept only endorse
ment instead Of an instructed delega-
tiOn and perhaps something even less
valuable than an endorsement.
The subcommittee to which was re-
ferred the hearing Of contests was in
session the greater part OF the night.
The contests were mainly decided in
favor of the Hopkins faction, and it Is
estimated that the net proceeds to
Hopkins amount to $50 delegates.
