would ask the court to give the GUS

them, insomuch as she is under the
complete domination and control of
Prince Helie de Sagan. who is un-
worthy to mold the position of father

"As proof that Madame Gould was
completely dominated by the Prince

AWAITS COMMITTEE REPORT
Democratic Convention Holds a Brief
Session,


Denver, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention held a brief ses-
sion and adjourned until evening,
when stirring scenes and highly COL
ored incidents are expected.
The delay was made necessary by
the inability Of the committee on Gre
dentials to have it's report ready for
the convention. The resolutions COM
mittee, too, was making slow progress
and it being certain that the delay
cided that it should take place at first.
The chief interest of the day cen
tered around the action of the creden-
tials committee in declaring against
Colonel James M. Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania and the vigorous preparations
made by that skilled and veteran po-
litical warrior to organize his forces
for battle in the convention, which
he was determined to carry to the
uttermost.

colors will fly in any contest that may
come up, 1t having, in company with
thirteen other states, signed the mi
nority credentials report. The aggre-
gate voting strength of the states is
376,.--but that figure is not an exact
statement of the votes that Guffey will
be able to call to his side, as not all
Of them are acting under the unit rule.

GUFFH IS POSED
Credentials Committee Seats Bryan
Men From Pennsylvania.
MINORITY REPORT PREPARED

Representative of Fourteen States
Vote Against Action Taken and Will
Support Fight on the Floor of the
Convention.
Denver, July 9.-The committee on
credentials of the national Democratic
convention concluded its labors after
1t had been in continuous session for
twenty-nine hours.
No attempt was made to restrict the
time for the presentation of evidence
in the various contests, the proceed
ings in which were all conducted with
open doors.
The Idaho, Ohio and Pennsylvania
leases provoked much bitterness from
the opposing sides.
Colonel James NJ. Guffey of Pitts
burg went down to defeat before the
committee in all his contested cases,
the contestants all being seated by a
vote of 81 to Is.
In the Idaho case the Mormon fac
tion was put to rout, the committee
deciding in favor of the Dubois fac
ton, who were the seated delegates
by a vote of rs to 20.
The Nineteenth Ohio district again
was given to Tom Johnson of Cleve-
land, who appeared in the committee
room and made strong plea that the
action of the national committee be
Sustained. The Ninth, or anti-Johnson
district delegates, were allowed to re-
tain their seats.
The committee made short work of
the New York, Illinois and District of
Columbia contests, unanimously sus-
tanning the action of the national COM
mittee in each case.
Oklahoma Given Eighteen Votes.
The fight of Oklahoma for eighteen
delegates instead Of fourteen resulted
In a victory for the new state. The
claim of Oklahoma was based on the
allegation that there had been an in
correct apportionment of the districts
and the committee accepted that view.
The action of the committee in the
Pennsylvania contests gives the Bryan
men control of the delegation, thus
1displacing Colonel Guffey, for ten
pears leader of the Pennsylvania De-
nocracy. The fight will now be car
ried to the floor of the convention.
The vote of the committee on cre-
dentials on the Pennsylvania contest
showed fourteen states, including New
York, voting with Colonel Guffey's
forces. AS the latter are anti-Bryan
the attitude of these fourteen states
was regarded as showing an undercur-
rent of sentiment. The fourteen states
voting with the Guffey forces were:
New York, New Jersey, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Della
ware, Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Kentucky and Mary
land.
A minority report from the creden-
tials committee is being prepared by
Attorney General Strauss of Maryland
and it is expected that the representa-
tives Of the fourteen states who voted
with Guffey will sign the minority re-
port.
