Arthur Brisbane, General Weaver, OF Iowa, and
others were planning huge bolt and the forma-
ton OF a party. He said he had been max
ing his fight for the nomination in the name OF

within party lines and would continue to be so
Whatever the result. he declared. he intended
personally and through his newspapers to sup
port the regular ticket.
II am for the St Louis nominee" said Mr.
Hearst to The POST
Il should, Of course, like any other man." be
honored and grathed should the Democrats see

Il have supported the Democratic party in the

advancing and strengthening their positions
in Manchuria, and were continuing their raid
ing operations on the Liao-Tung Peninsula
Japanese warships, according to dispatch
from Che-Foo, had bombarded Dalny in con-
rection with a land assault. 1t was believed
that the town had fallen.
