OUT FOR BRYAN.
Tammany Hall Leader Declares Himself
for the Nebraskan.


JAMESTOWN, N. Y, July s.-James
J. Hagan, Tammany Hall leader of the
Fifteenth Assembly district. came out
squarely for the nomination of Bryan

some twenty members of his Amster-
dam Club, and Harry Walker, Manton
M. Wyvell and Norman e. Mack, of the
New York State Progressive Demo-
cratic League, and Alexander Troup, of
New Haven, attended the lecture given
by Mr. Bryan at Chautauqua Satur-
day. After the address they came
down on a specially chartered boat to
jamestown with Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan's lecture being non
partisan, no mention was made of his
name, in connection with the Presiden-
tjal nomination until all the festivities
given in his honor by the citizens were
over. In the early hours of the morn
ing, and just before Mr.. Bryan left
to complete his lecture tour, Hagan
and his followers and the members or
the New York State Progressive Dem
ocratic League gathered at a luncheon
at the Sherman House. There Hagan
broke his silence and presented to Mr..
BRYAN a set of resolutions which the
Amsterdam Club had recently passed.
The resolutions were highly laudatory
and closed with his sentence:
1--WE hereby present his name to the
Democratic national convention as our
first and only choice for President of
the United States, and do hereby pledge
our untiring efforts to secure his nomi-
nation by that convention
Mr.. Bryan, responding to Mr. Hagan's
speech. said that he did not feel that
the time had yet come for him to decide
what his own position in connection
with the nomination would be.
