CHICAGO. July 1.-THE national
convention OF the Independence party
the new party-will be called 10
order at s o'clock this evening by VIM.
Randolph Hearst. who fills the office
Of temporary chairman.
The Republican convention at Chi
cago and the Democratic convention
at Denver are now political history.
The proceedings OF these bodies are
planted seeds. The harvest will be
reaped in November.
During the next two days another
political seed will be planted.
In national affairs. the independence
party is new. The men composing the
delegations from the different states
decided long since that conditions
we're not satisfactory. They became
dissatisfied with both parties There
Is none Of the noise. none OF the tre-
mendous crowds, none Of the holiday
spirit and the gay decorations in con
nection with this convention. The as
semblage has the appearance OF what
the workers in the new party intended
81 to be--a working organization.
There is one feature, however. that
attracts attention OF the impartial
spectator. The delegates who cluster
about the corridors of the Auditorium
Annex are not joking with one an
other; they are not sightseeing; they
are not telling funny stories. They
are talking politics and there is seri-
BUSINESS and conviction in their voices.
No Set Program.
The leaders OF the new party say
this conveption is not to be like the
others. There is no set program. Any
thing Is likely TO happen and any of
the men mentioned for the presidency
Is likely to be nominated. All depends
on the will OF the various delegations.
One thing may be regarded as as
sured by the common opinion OF the
tS'Omtinued ON Page Seven.) '~---

The next definite action promised
In the state court comes Saturday.
when final action Is to be had with re.
gard Ia the securities in the hands of
Hayden Stone * Co. OF Boston.
When the court orders a sale. there
will be a fight made by the attorneys
representing customers who bought
their stock outright. to have their
particular stocks set aside from the
sale. General creditors will also fight
to make Hayden, Stone & Co. pay into
court the proceeds OF the sale and
share equally therein with other cred
itors.
Two orders were made by Judge
Mandel Monday morning. One pro
vides that intervening petitions may
be filed by persons claiming an inter
est In stocks held by Hayden, Stone
& Co and the receiver up TO Aug. 10.
The other provides that claims against
Cameron Currie e. Co. may be filed
up to Oct. | and that thes evil be
open TO inspection until Oct. 10.
While many attorneys have urged
action III bankruptcy. none OF the
Creditors seems ready TO take this
plunge. The bankruptcy proceedings
would not set aside the preference
OF Hayden, Stone & Co. but would
make them come into court TO prove
IL. II would also give the general
creditors a chance to select the trus-
tee and would allow of bringing the
members OF the defunct brokerage
firm to the stand TO explain transac-
tons
