IT. LOUIS, July l%l.-Throush the
action OF william r, sheehan a hastily
called meeting Of the National Commit
tee has been postponed and the selec-
tion Of a Chairman deferred until the
committee meets In New York the first
week In August.
II was the plan OF Secretary walsh
and a few others 10 have the committee
gather and, without consultation Of the
nominee, name some one for chairman,
While the arrangements were being
made Mr.. sheehan forced his way TO the
front and argued against It. Chairman
Jones also aided. and the result Is a
call that will be issued In a day or two
for the new committee TO NEE. In New
York.
There Is some bitterness over the
selection OF a chairman. The friends
Of Taggart, OF Indiana, believe he
should be named. and II Is said he has
Q tentative promise that he vas to
have been selected unless the candi-
date for ice-Presiient came from In
diana.
At a meeting Of the committee It was
decided that II would be without prece
dent to 90 ahead and select a chairman
without consultation with Judge Par
ker.
In addition to Tasgart there Is a SEN
timent for Guffey. OF Pennsylvania, and

They said that In concealinE the true

Murphy kept his " counsels. He
didn't tell the delegates what me real
situation was. He made his moves In
secret and kept telling the delemtss
and workers that Parker could not be
nominated. He spoke OF magnificent
but entirely mythical combinations by
which the Parker procession could be
headed on, and he had his men work
ing for Cleveland and McClenan ..,at

known that neither OF these had a
chance and that nothing In politics was
