SOCIALIST CLANS
IN CONVENTION
Lively Contest Expected in
Chicago Over Nomination
For President
NO GLAD HAND FOR De LEON

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
CHICAGO, May 11.-With organiza-
tion perfected the National Socialist
Convention settled down today to its
first real fight, that Of adopting rules
to govern the selection Of candidate,
for president and president. IN
the past majority vote has been SUI
foient to name the candidates, but to-
day the leaders are trying to force
through a two-third rule.
A lively contest which probably viii
last three or four days, is expected o
start today over the terms OF the par
TVS declaration Of principles. The de
clarations Of the last international con-
ference at Stuttgart are not accepted
here as being best suited to this coun-
try and an attempt will be made to
modify some Of them.
This threatens trouble. as many OF
the western delegates want the stutt-
gart proclamation adopted in its en-
tirety.
No Glad Hand For DeLeon.
A delegation from the Socialist
Labor party Cthe DeLeon faction) ar
rived here today to try to arrange an
amalgamation or both factions. They
We're coldly received.
The general impression Is that they
have not strength enough TO make af-
illiation worth while. The Industrial
Workers of the World are especially
bitter against amalgamation, claiming
the Socialist Labor Party has caused
much damage 10 their society
While the Debs sentiment is still SUI
preme IN the convention, friends Of the
other candidates mentioned are active
They declare that if the two thirds
rule is adopted it will make the fight
any mans struggle and so they want
TO see It adopted. Close friends OF
William Haywood, of Denver, deposed
secretary treasurer Of the Western
Federation Of Miners are working on
him to have a statement issued that
he is not a presidential candidate and
never has been. They fear chat If he
is defeated after making q fight he
viii lose his influence and claim that
he is young enough TO wait four years
Boom For Chase.
A real boom ls launched today that
may yet cause trouble for the Debs
boosters. II was that OF John G. Chase
former Massachusetts, leader, but nov
Of New York. He has behind him the
strength Of the greater New England
delegation and part Of the New York
land Pennsylvania representatives, and
failing to win first place viii be a fas-
tor in the fight for second place Oh
the ticket
Some Of the women delegates arr
desirous Of emulating the example SCI
some years ago for a candidate on tn,
ticket. There Is a proposition to asl
all farmers to affiliate with the Social
lists and to prepare a cali to them will
be decided upon late this afternoon o
tomorrow afternoon and the matter vii
then be threshed out at length.
