YER CONVENTION.

P1TTSBURG, Pa, May 19.-The
publicity agents of the Bryan, John
son, Gray booms circulated quietly
among the advance guards of dele
gates to the democratic state con-
vention today. The convention,
which will be called to order at II
O'Clock tomorrow morning, will
nominate a candidate for the su-
perior court to succeed Judge Will
liam D. Porter Of Pittsburg, and ell
ect four delegates-at-large to the
democratic national convention, and
name four candidates for electors
at-large for the coming presidential
campaign.
Colonel J. M. Guffey of Pittsburg
has the situation well in hand and
II will be up to him to decide wheth-
or the Pennsylvania delegation shall
20 to Denver instructed to vote for
william ]. Bryan. Reports have
been circulated from time to time
recently to the effect that Colonel
Guffey out of consideration for his
friend State Treasurer William
Berry, who is an ardent Bryan man
and whose name has been suggested
for second place on the national
ticket, would permit tomorrow's
convention to instruct for the Ne
braskan. *.@ a#r
Those on the inside, however. are
OF the opinion that Colonel Quincy
intends to adhere to his original
program. If Bryan can't be beaten
Pennsylvania will turn in for him
hut Colonel Guffey holds that the
convention should go to Denver un-
instructed, 80 as to take advantage
of whatever conditions may arise.
The convention, therefore, Is not
likely to instruct for president but
i. will adopt the unit rule, oy
which the state-delegation VIII vote
