KERN THREATENED.
The feature of Mr.. Kern's address was a
tilt he had with a Hearst delegate on the
floor who interrupted him in his eloquent
flight with the threat:
Don't you ever ask Indiana Democrats
for anything again.
THAT threat" snapped Mr.. Kern, lis
fair sample of Hearst tactics. 1 have heard
it before. and 1 have heard it from men
who stand higher in Hearsts councils than
you do. 1t has terrors for me, for L am
not asking anything, and shall not ask any,
thing"
Mr.. Kern eulogized Parker and pointed
out that the instructions must be adopted
as a rebuke to Hearst and Hearstism.
Henry Colerick closed for the minority,
making an impaSsioned appeal that his
hands be not tied as a delegate to the ma
tional convention.
All the speakers were subjected to inter-
ruptions, and at times 1t seemed that a
the Hearst delegates were called upon to
walk out. but the saner leaders prevented
that final outbreak.
The roll call on the motion to substitute
the minority for the majority report was
characterized by the same delays uproar
and confusion that attended the first roll
call. 1t was eventually concluded, how
ever, and the result announced-9o4 noes to
$50 ayes, gain of lis votes for the Hearst
ties. Then the majority report was adopted
on viva voce vote, and the convention
was all over but the adjournment, which
was decidedly informal

The second roll call was on the question
of the substitution of the minority report
of the committee on resolutions for the
majority report. Here again the Parker
ties voted in the negative, favoring the ma

the affirmative. The vote was as follows:

PARKERTTES REJOICE
OYER GREAT VICTORY

Although the majority of the delegates to
the Democratic convention yesterday re-
turned home last evening. the Grand Hotel
was the scene of lively gathering until
late last night. The lobby of the hotel was
filled with men all evening discussing in
groups of fives and tens the great victory of
the day. Few Hearstites were seen about
the rendezvous, and the talk was all TO the
glcry of the work of the majority. Every
one was in hilarious spirits and retold the
events of the game in the light OF lumor
dwelling upon the many funny situations
that arose in the fight.
However. the leaders who did the work
at the convention were not very much In
evidence. Most of them were tired out and
had gone to their rooms. State Chairman

Ekw YORK "A. L). ?: DETROIT, l.
The third game Of the series between the
New York Americans and Detroits. played
yesterday. was the stubbornest OF the three.
but the New Works are strong on hard fought
Cames-as q team must be to DO successful
in the American League-and they beat the
Tigers once more. Kitson bothered the
New Yorks greatly by his pitching. and neither
side sDrained any bats by heavy stick work.
but the peerless Chesbro and his splendid
support proved a combination that forced
the Detroits to accept the losing end OF the
sharp diamond debate. Not q tremor or
bubble infested New Yorks fielding. but in
Detrot's defence were a couple OF falls from
grace that contributed to the undoing Of the
Michisanders.
Runs were dlficult OF attainment. Tho
New Yorks were on the verge OF scoring
several times, but the promising outlook was
not succeeded by realization OF hope. Pat
Dougherty cracked the globe for three bases
in the first inning, but with none out. failed
to tread the plate. OLeary threw Keller
out, and Dougherty was thrown out at home
on Elberfeld's smack to Hickman.
Kleinow. who helped in both OF New York's
runs. singled in the third inning. and Chesbro
followed suit. Dougherty hit TO Hickman.
and the latter's wild throw in attempting TO
force Chesbro at second allowed Kleinow TO
pace home. With Chesbro on third Dough-
erty foul-fied to Drill and Anderson sent q
fly to Barrett. Hickman's single and Craw-
ford s three dagger gave Detroit q run In the
fourth. With Crawford on third and one out.
Chesbro famed Drill and Williams threw
out Lowe.
CAMEL hit safely as a starter In New Works
half of the fourth. but went no further than
first, Williams forced him, and Jimmy sub
ford attended to Conroy's fly. Fast held-
ing kept the Detroits In check In the nth.
Elberfeld s base on balls and steal and a wild
pitch put the kid on third In the sixth with
one out. but he came to grief trying to score
on CANCELS foul fly to Drill.
The New Works won the game in the seventh
inning. Williams singled. stole second and
went on to third on the error arising from the
flied to Mcintyre. and Williams raced in.
