Denver. July 10.--At 1916 o'clock,
after numerous conferences had been
held by the strong Bryan delegations.
it was evident that John w. Kern of
Indiana. was gaining ground moro
rapidly than any other candidate.
Mayor Dahlman OF Omaha, a close
friend of MIR. Bryan. said:
There are several men whom know
would be repugnant to Mr.. Bryan ana
they are being eliminated. My judg-
ment is that II will be Kern OF Indl-
ana"
Josiah Marvel, manager OF the Gray
campaign declared at noon today that
he intended TO prevent the name OF
Judge Gray from being presented to
the convention as a vice presidential
candidate. despite the fact that Texas
and few other delegations had ex-
pressed preference for him, MIR. Mar
vel said:
IF necessary / will make state
ment to the convention that will eff
fectuslly stop all mention Of Judge
place on the ticket"
NO WORD FROM LINCOLN.
Bryan leaders minated that while
they also were without word from
Lincoln, II was likely that II on the
first ballot any one man showed q
strong lead they would, provided he
nm Of usbn HypIfl1 ha
satisfactory to Mr.. Bryan, throw all
their strength TO him.
The name of Gray of Delaware WAS
frequently mentioned, but there SEEM
ed 10 be a fear that he would not ac-
cept the place.
The friends of John w. Kern were
especially active and there seemed to
be a strong tide of sentiment setting
in for him. Tho Kentucky delegation
declared itself for Kern first, second
for Gaynor. and third for John
Mitchell.
Gov. Folk OF Missouri said that no
could not say what his state would
do, but added that he had no inteu-
tion of permitting his own name to be
presented 10 the convention. Several
OF the Missouri delegates declared
themselves as fayorlng Kern.
GO TO BRYAN. fl
What's the use," asked ex-senator
James Smith OF New Jersey when in
CURED Of as 20 whether he had heard
amy suggestions regarding the vice
presidency.
What's the usc?" he repeated. "Go
to Mr.. Bryan, the delegates know moth
ing about IT, They not only know
nothing about II but IL is not necessary
they should know anything about IL.
Mr.. Bryan will name his running mate.
and lac should name him. / think about
the vice presidency Just as 1 did about
the platform and that is that Mr. Bryan
be consulted and his wishes respected.
MIR. Smiths expression represented
the general sentiment among Democra-
tic leaders but there we're many who
believed MIR. Bryan would not UNDER
take 10 dictate the nomination for the
second place. Accordingly there was
shower OF candidates early IN the morll-
ing and one might easily have imagined
that new convention was about TO
take place.
Among others mentioned ana urged
were Charles A Towne Martin w.
littleton ana Lewis Nixon OF New
York; Gov. Francis OF Missouri; Doug
las of Massachusetts and Clark Howell
OF Georgia.
DELAWARE FOR HOWELL.
Delaware viii be for Howell" said
Mr. Marvel, manager OF Judge Gray's
candidacy, because In the first place,
he ana the Georgia delegation gave
their loyal support 10 Judge Gray for
the presidency and ia the next place, We
consider him strong and available
man"
There were those who expressed thu
opinion that New York would not UNI

the nomination but would be glad 10
