MORAN GETS EVERYTHING
His Campaign Manager Chairman of Convention, and He Named
 Resolutions Committee.


 Moran, district attorney of Suffoll
 county. for governor of Massachu
 setts at the democratic state conven
 tion in Fremont Temple. to-day ha,
 disappeared apparently when the del
 egates began to assemble at Tremon
 Temple. Almost the entire nigh
 was spent in discussions between th'
 different factions into which thu
 party had been split by the candi
 dacy of Mir Moran, which has beer
 opposed from the first by leaders O
 the democratic state organization. Al
 the time approached for the conven
 ton to assemble. only three Ques
 tions had been settled. The first wa.
 that MT Moran should be the nom
 inee, the second that former Mayor
 John P. Feeney of Woburn, MT Mo
 ran's campaign manager, should act as both temporary and permanent chairman of the convention, and the third that John w. Cummings of Fai River should be chairman of the committee on resolutions.
 The all-night contest over the se- lection of the state committee and over the selection of the statecmcf over the selection of the state committee and over various matters between the Moran representatives and the group headed by Mayor Fitzgerald, had the effect of delaying the writing of the platform and the preparation 'Of the various convention speeches. At Q a. m., George Fred Williams was still hard at work upon his speech nomiR- ating MT Moran, and the resolutions to be presented to the convention were still unavailable. Because Mayor Feeney had been selected as perma- nent chairman at the last hour he was practically unprepared on his ad- dress as presiding officer and was forced to devote the early h0urn of the day to planning this speech. Mapx of the delegates remained at the lsevere house over night, and the early m0rn- ing trains had on board delegates from distant sections of the common wealth.
 Before the convention was opened there were many evidences that the Moran forces were absolutely in. con- trol of things. The democrats who have always been prominent in pre- vious conventions were strangely missing from the pre-convention gathering. The influence of Mir Mo- ran and MT Williams seemed to be everywhere and MT Williams was again posing as the conspicuous dem- ocratic leader. a place which he has not held for many years.
 The contest for selection as lieu tenant governor grew hot as the con- vention hour approached. Managers of the Independent league movement which has indorsed MT Moran for governor expressed confidence that their nominee for lieutenant gover- nor. Mir Brown of Brockton. would be the choice of the convention for that once also. but it was feared that representing the more con- servative element of the democrats might be nominated. The same feel ing existed as to candate Hisgen of For the remainder of the ticket all seemed in doubt. The Moran people insisted that they were nothing in this respect and were determined to leave 1t entirely to the convention.
 Before the convention opened the came from the Revere house that John w. Cummings of Fall River headed the committee on instead of George Fred who previously had been named, and that the other members It large were former Mayor Walter L. Ramsdell of Lynn. William A. Day. enport of Greenfield. Crenville s. Mcfarland of Cambridge. Andrew N. Patton of Danvers. John H. Mack of North Adams and John J. Mitchell of Marlboro.
