&does not seem to realize tho number
&of Democrats there are In Northern
New York. am not surprised at the
&decltnation Of Judge Gray to be men,
toned for Vice President. I have ex-
kpected 1t right along. Judge Gray is
a strong man, popular man with

Mr.. Towne smiled as he parried
& this question. Likewise he laughing
i ly lodged interrogations as to whe-
i ther Mr.. Bryan had singled him out
\ for support in his canvass for the
& Vice Presidential nomination. Pre-
Z vious to Mr.. Towne's visit, however,
Mr.. Bryan had practically set at rest,
temporarily at least, reports that he
favored Mr.. Towne. & E
&. "Mr Towne lis quoted as saying

! Towne that he would be acceptable
+ to you. Is that true?" Mr.. Bryan
was asked.
"He meant that he was favorable
to them" said Mr.. Bryan, with stress
h on the last word, and with wave of
the arm indicated the galaxy of fa-
vorite sons whose names have been
mentioned In connection with the
T nomination for running mate.
+ Mr.. Bryan Is silent on all matters
pertaining to probable action by the
convention in order to disarm proba-
