Nashville, Tenn, March 26.-The
Republicans of Tennessee held a
stormy state convention here yester-
day. Today black eyes, skinned heads
and bruised faces testified to the riot
that marked the gathering in the hall

the capitol In the list of casualties
Chairman Newell Sanders of the state
executive committee figures promi-
nently. He presented a sorry picture
when he emerged from the veritable
battle which occurred between the
two factions, one supporting the in
terests of Congressman w. P. Brown
low the other those of Commissioner
of Pensions H. Clay Evans. The
Brownlow forces wanted w. J. OH.
YER, of Knoxville, for national COM
mitteeman; the Evans men favored
the candidacy of Congressman N. w.
Hale for that position. incidentally
Richard Austin is candidate for Con.
gress against Mr.. Hale. BY sheer
force of numbers and fighting powers
the Brownloy-O y-Oliver-Austin crowd
took and held the hall.
The convention adopted a motion
that delegates to the national conven-
ton go uninstructed. Roosevelt Is en-
dorsed in the resolutions adopted
