BRYAN DISRUPTS JERSEY.
Democrats Shift Contention Date to
.AUoid Presence Before Delegates.
tBy Telegraph to Tn. Tribune. !


Trenton April 2-There is serious trouble in
local Democratic circles over the announcement
that William Jennings Bryan is to come to
Trenton on the 18th of this month, the day OF
the Jefferson dinner in New York. The invita-
ton has been extended without consultation
with the party leaders. When IL was supposed
that Mr. Bryan would be in New Jersey last
week an invitation was extended him to address
the Legislature. He could net respond. and
Edmund A. Whittier. who is managing the
Bryan campaign in New Jersey, about fixing
another date. Mr.. Bryan replied that he could
be here on either the 18th go, the latter
being the date previously arranged for the
Democratic state convention tor elect delegates
to the national convention. Mr.. Whittier wanted
Bryan to address the Legislature, but TO avoid
any possibility of this happening the date of
the convention, the state committee shifted the
time to April %
Most Of the Democratic leaders are determined
that Mr.. Bryan's visit shall be made as incon-
spicuous as possible. Governor Fort has
thorized Mr. Whittier to invite Mr. Bryan to
luncheon upon the occasion of his visit, and it
is expected that the invitation will be accepted.
The Democratic leaders have been working to
prevent the proposed visit Of the Nebraskan,
but with doubtful success.
Mr. Bryan never polled representative Dem
ocratic vote in this part of New Jersey, and his
possible nomination is bitterly opposed by most
of the leaders. Ex-Mayor Katzenbach has con-
sented to receive Mr.. Bryan public recep-
tion at Democratic headquarters, but Charles H
Gallagher, OF the Democratic State Committee
who had been picked by the Bryan followers to
be master cf ceremonies. declared that he would
not lend his official position to ndorsing the
Peerless One" Mr.. Gallagher has never been In
sympathy with Mr.. Bryan his policies.

ELECT M'CARREN's FOES DELEGATES.
Brooklyn Assembly District Conventions
Give Places to Rebels.

The Democrats OF Kings County held their AS
sembly district conventions last night. and chose
sIxty-nine delegates-three in each Assembly dis
trict-to 60 to the state convention at Carnegie
Hall. Manhattan on April II. Sixteen OF the dis
tricts. whose leaders remain true Senator Nc
carren, will send delegates who Will vote as Nc
Carren directs The other districts whose
leaders have rebelled, will send delegates who will
probably stand with Tammany at the convention
All OF the seven district organizations have ap-
proved the course of their leaders in breaking with
McCarreD and propose to stand by them but il is
feared that the delegates may be won over by the
Senator before the state convention meets
Many of the anti -AlcCarr organizations which
met with defeat on Tuesday held their own conven-
tions last night and selected delegations to contest
with the Mccarrenites for seats al the convention
The remainder of the sixteen district organizations
will probably do the same in few days.
In the 9th Assembly District seven OF the thir-
teen delegates voted for William r. Mcclure one
of the revolving leaders against McCarren. Jan
ShOrtell and Max Auerbach were elected delegates
with Mcclure.
William r. Melody, in the 4ih District, in VIII
iamsburg, had things his own way Melody Ed
ward Hseran and John T. Kelly were elected dele

LAST DAYS TO REGISTER.

Today and tomorrow are the final
days for revising and closing the regis

qualified otherwise he or she may be.
The Importance OF attending the reg.
istration Office either today or tomorrow
and seeing that your name is on the
lists is, therefore, evident.
The importance Of this is emphasized
by the fact which has been disclosed
in SO many cases recently, that in the
County Clerk g Office large number OF
well~known residents and voters for
many years in Salt Lake have been ar
bitrarily, if not criminally, left of the
lists. So far as known, these so left
Of are mostly names OF American
voters.
American voters especially, therefore,
have duty to perform in this matter.
II makes no difference how firmly CON
vinced these may be that their names
are on the lists, it will not do to take
anything for granted. The County
Clerk s force may have left the names
off, no matter how we'll entitled they
may be to appear on the registration
lists
The only way of safety, therefore, is
to look in on the registrar of your dis
triet today or tomorrow-today is the
best day-and make sure that the name
is there. When that is done all
is well with you, and you eau vote at
the general election OH next Tuesday.
