private citizen and his reputation as
public man are regarded as strong
points in his favor. and it is confident
ly asserted that he would add greatly
to the strength of the presidential tick
ct. not alone in New York, but in many
other eastern states. There has also
been mentioned the name of Mr.. Nor
man E. Mack of Buffalo present ma
tional committeeman from New York
but Mr.. Mack. who is on the ground
pooh poohs the suggestion.
Glenn Is Mentioned.
Among those of the south mentioned
in connection with the vice presidential
nomination is Governor Robert B.
Glenn of North Carolina and Mr.. Glenn
is already represented in Denver by H.
Nj. Holleman and other friends. who
are working among the delegates as
they arrive. They call attention to the
fact that the governor won marked
praise by his oratory at the recent gov
ernor's assembly in Washington. and
also point to his record in connection
with railroad legislation in North Car
olina, claiming that he would not only
on account of his record but because
of his capacity as speech maker
make an effective candidate.
The headquarters of Judge George
Gray of Delaware were thrown open
today. Josiah Marvel of Wilmington
Del, and r. ]. Beamish of Philadelphia
who are in charge of the Delaware
mans campaign, had intended to open
the headquarters and launch the Gray
boom last night, but they were badly
delayed in reaching the city and when
they arrived at their rooms at the Sa-
voy hotel it was decided to postpone
the opening until today.
Even then the Gray people were the
first to open regular headquarters.
Yesterday they caused numerous litho-
graphs of their candidate to be placed
around the leading hotels and they
were early today the only pictures of
any candidate to be seen in the city,
except in the headquarters of the ma
tional committee, where pictures of all
the presidential aspirants are display
ed conspicuously.
Mr.. Marvel declared last night and
reiterated today that Judge Gray is
not candidate for anything but the
presidency. He was asked If the Judge
would accept the nomination provided
the convention adopted a platform con-
tanning radical anti-injunction
plank. To this Mr.. Marvel replied:
Il do not think that such a condition
will arise. From all l can gather the
Denver platform Will not contain any
utterance on the anti-injunction pro-
position varying largely from the ex-
pressions contained in Democratic
/ platforms for the last IL years.
Stress was laid by Mr.. Marvel upon
| the TACT THAT IneTe are HUI unlnSlruCte0

lieves that Judge Gray will be able to
| obtain many of them on the first ball
| lot more of them on the second ballot
| and will then make inroads in the
| Bryan delegations that will eventually
| result in the nomination of the Della
ware candidate.
| 1t has been decided by the Delaware

| in this city in company with a large
number of other Gray boomers on the
evening of July 4. According to Mr.
Marvel the Delaware delegation has
| some we'll developed ideas OF what the
| anti-injunction plank should be, but

are offered by Mr.. Layton when the

ideas are in harmony with the views
expressed in the last three platforms
