majority OF the members or the sts,e
central committee 10 make Frank p.
Quinn temporary chairman OF the Dem
ocratic state convention which meets
today has forced the Hearst and Haru-
son factions into am alliance, defensive
and offensive. The deal between lIar-
rlsOn and Hearst was arranged last
night but the fact that Ii had been
made was guarded with the greatest See
crecy. There We're six men represent
ing Harrison ana Hearst in the confer
encr, and each man pledged himself to
say nothing of the compact until after
The adjournment OF The sub-commit-
tee Of the state central today 10 was
feared that II the Hopkins men knew Of
the arrangement they would offset 1t by
mseating a sufficient number of Har-
lison and Hearst men to leave them IN
full control Of the convention The deal
is advantageous to the Harrison people,
for while they have about oue.iifth as
many delegates AS Hearst. they are to
have one-hall of the delegates at large
10 the national convention, aud an
equal voice In naming the candidates
for the state Offices, provided the al
lance ls able to control the convention.
