ADJOURNMENT ON FRIDAY
Democratic Convention Expected to
Last Four Days.

Denver, July THE general ex-
pectation at present is that the Demo
cratic national convention will last
some time on Friday; but poten-
tialities of trouble as yet undeveIoped
lie in several subjects still unsettled
and a positive forecast is impossible.
Even If it be assumed, as many do
assume, that Mr. Bryans nomination
is practically a certainty there is still
the open question Of the platform and
the controversy over the injunction
plank the possible consumption of
time by the contests before the Gre
dentials committee and possibly on
the convention floor and the selection
of candidate for the vice presidency.
The vice presidential problem took
somewhat different turn when an
intimation was received through what
have hitherto proved reliable chan
neis TO the effect that Mr.. Bryan be-
lieved both the logic and the strate-
gics of the situation to. suggest the
propriety of deferring definite activi-
ties as to the second place on the
ticket until the first was disposed of
This led to a perceptible falling off of
the gossip on the subject and the
whole matter is for the moment side
tracked. The situation in this regard
is singularly like that which existed
at similar juncture in the Repub-
lican convention at Chicago last
month.
To add still further to the parallel
with the Republican convention the
situation finds general interest In the
platform still confined almost wholly
to the proposed plank regarding the
use of court injunctions, especially in
labor controversies. The labor repre-
sentatives on the ground, Gompers,
Mitchell and others, are urgently
pressing their claims upon those who
will presumably have important infu-
ence in the committee on resolutions.

tive platform to be presented at a
subsequent caucus and to be urged be-
fore the convention committee on res,
olutions.

offered in the caucus and referred to
the subcommittee without debate.
Charles F. Murphy was made chair.
man of the state delegation and Alton

on resolutions, Thomas F. Grady mem
ber of the committee on rules, Daniel

GUFFEY STILL ON TOP
Reflected National Committee
man From Pennsylvania.
BRYAN MEN BOLT MEETING
Their Request That Action Be Post
poned Until Contests for Seats in
Convention Are Decided Ia Turned
Down and They Walk Out.

Denver, July 7.-Colonel James M.
Guffey Of Pennsylvania was reelected
member of the Democratic national
committee from that state, although
several delegates left the caucus be-
fore it was done, declaring the pro-
ceedings irregular.
The delegation met at the Adams
hotel and Immediately after being
called to order a motion was made by
John p. Fow of Philadelphia that an
adjournment be taken. The motion
was seconded by L. McQuiston of But
ler. 1t was urged in support of the
motion that the contests for various
seats in the convention had not yet
been settled and that the meeting was
not regular. The motion was declared
by the anti-Guffey men to be carried,
although not more than a dozen dele
gates voted. Those favoring the ad-
journment. all of whom were opposed
to Guifey, then left the meeting amid
cries of towards" from the Guffey
men.
Colonel Guffey then entered the
room and the meeting was again called
to order, forty-seven delegates being
present, although four or five alter
mates were included in this total. Will
tam ]. Banner of Pittsburg acted as
chairman. P. J. O'Boyle of Wilkes
barre nominated Guffey for national
committeeman, the nomination being
seconded by John NJ. Garman of
Wilkesbarre. Mr.. Gufey was then
elected without opposition.

JOHNSON TO STAY IN RACE
Reports to the Contrary Vigorously
Denied.

Denver, July 7.-Frederick B. Lynch,
manager of Governor Johnson's presi-
Dental campaign, denied in emphatic
terms the report that Governor John
sons name had been or would be with
drawn from the contest.
The story" he said, "is absolutely
without foundation. Governor John
sons name will be presented to the
convention even though there be no
prospects of his receiving any votes
outside the Minnesota delegation. We
started in to make this fight to the
end and we shall complete the record"
During the day Mr.. Lynch received
calls from delegates from number
of states, including several from New
York, who assured Mr.. Lynch that
they were for Governor Johnson be-
cause they believed that he could
carry New York state, while they were
Of the opinion that Mr.. Bryan could
not do So

No Intention of Quitting.

S"''S'
Denver, July Judge Gray's name
has not been withdrawn and under no
circumstances will It be withdrawn" ,"
said Josiah Marvel, manager of the
Gray presidential forces. This was
the answer to the persistent report
cried about the hotel corridors that
Judge Gray had telegraphed to those
In charge of his interests instructing
them explicitly not to permit his name
10 go before the convention. No such
message has been received and Judge
Gray has remained absolutely silent
as TO the presidency, neither further.
ing nor retarding the work of his
friends in any way. The Gray men
were therefore feeling more confident
than ever, despite the apparent strong
tide for Bryan, as they claimed that
reports from incoming delegations
gave distinct reality TO their hopes.
Judge Gray's name will be present
cd to the convention by Irving T.
Handy" said Mr.. Marvel, and sec.
onded by Peter A. O'Boyle, who was
chairman Of the Pennsylvania state
convention. We will also have sec
onds from two other states AS to the
vice presidency talk of Judge Gray
we have absolutely nothing to say.
We are continually urged by the Bry-
an managers to permit Gray's name to
be considered for the second place"
continued Mr.. Marvel, but we insist
that we are not urging a man for two
places at the same time The Bryan
people tell US that If we persist in try
ing for the first place we will lose the
second. We reply to this that we are
not running Gray for position but
for place The result will depend on
the good sense Of the convention"
The Gray managers have been say
Ing wait until the delegates arrive"
They now say that these arrivals are
increasing the Gray strength. They
point out that instructed delegations
men committed to Bryan-are coming
TO them and saying that conditions
have so changed since the instructions
were given that If free they would
support Gray because of Mr.. Bryans
recent statements of Grays strength
as a conservative candidate. The Ten
nessee delegation is given as specific
instance of this sentiment. Three of
the Tennessee delegates, Messrs.
King, Miller and Mcmahon. are here
In advance OF their colleagues. They
have visited the Gray headquarters
and have said that II Mr.. Bryan had
given his endorsement to Gray a
month ago instead of within the last
few days the Tennessee delegation
would be for Gray. The Gray man
ayers are not asking any of the in
structed delegates to waver, but they
say sentiment among the instructed
men is that conditions have changed
and they wish they were free from In
structions.
