NEW YORK, August 2S.-As a result OF
the action Of the Nebraska delegation yes
terday in declining to call on VIM. r.
Hearst, and In view Of possible strained re-
lations which might end in great embarrass-
ment to both Bryan and Hearst, mutual
friends were busy this morning to smooth
over the difficulty and prevent further mis-
understanding. In consequence Of these ef-
forts of the peacemakers, Mr.. Hearst was
In his headquarters shortly before noon,
and delegation OF Nebraskans called upon
him. The exchange Of greetings was en-
tirely formal and professedly to make pub
lie avowal that there were no hard feelings.
This move is considered by politicians to
have been very timely, and possibly fraught
with important political significance both
to Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Bryan. The way
things are drifting, there might have been
an open break between them through the
omcfousness of others.
Interested in Bryan.
The coming of Bryan interests New
Workers nightly, and for the moment the
metropolis turns from nursing it's own po-
litfcal sore toes to sit up and take notice
of national politics. The hotel lobbies are

These westerners are a breezy lot, who
talk freely and to the point and are a
windfall to the space reporters, who put
words in their mouths never used off the

days on the range, was an expert with the

OF course, on occasions such as this there
are always the persons who butt in and try
to pull off q stunt for their own aggran-
dizement, SO when Dahlman heard that a
millionaire with big yacht would meet
Bryan in the lower bay and take him away
from the crowd, he allowed that the Ne
braskans would not stand for any such ex-
clusiveness, but would take charge Of their
hero themselves. Mr.. Bryan has declined
the offer of President Mellin of the New
Haven road for private car and free
transportation on his Connecticut tour.
He will pay his fare and ride in the day
coach or the smoker as usual.
Democrats Incensed.
The arriving democrats are very much in
censed at Mr.. William r. Hearst's attitude
toward Mr.. Bryan, and it is not unlikely
that Mr.. Hearst may find it expedient to
warm up some. A resolution introduced
yesterday at a meeting of the Nebraskans
to call on Mr.. Hearst was withdrawn when
protest was made and it was charged that
Mr.. Hearst is Indifferent to Bryan.
Just at this particular moment the Hearst
boom is in critical stage, necessitating
some very careful handling by its man
ayers. Mr.. Hearst lost one Of his important
hackers in the re~Olt Of A. M. Dedeck, who
was head of the finance committee in Mr..
Hearsts last campaign. He has quit the
Independence League because he fears an
alliance between Hearst and Murphy and
because Mr.. Hearst is not according to his
ideas. standing Independently of the old
parties.
a call has been issued for a confer
ence of leading democrats at Albany
September to consider the good of the
order" The call says: "The object Of
the conference should be frankly stated
and understood in advance. 1t is for
the purpose of taking whatever action
seems most effective in the present emer-
gency to prevent the completion OF the
corrupt deal which is contemplated, in
volving the sale Of democratic name and
organization, and let there be no doubt
whatever on this point. 1t must be

of democratic principles and democratic
honor"

He said that If Mr.. Hearst secures the vote
OF Greater New York he will be the nomi-

however, the vote should be diyided1Mr
Hearst for example, getting New York
county through Boss Murphy, and Kings,
and Queens going against him-he thought
that Mr.. Hearst would lose the state con-
vention. Mr.. Mack, when told Of this
prophecy, declared that Mr.. Hearst will
obtain practically all the upstate counties
and win be able to dispense with the votes
Of Greater New York.
