Jos Lippman, American party per-
suader in chief, sadly crossed his politi-
cal wires this morning. He announced
in the American" party judicial con-
vention that Ogden Hiles would address
the Americans" at Lagoon this after
noon. Immediately after the conven-
ton Judge TIiles stated to News re-
porter that he had no intention what
ever or going to Lagoon, that the an
nouncement OF his name on handpiiis
was without authority, and that he GER
tainIy would not speak this afternoon.
Jos. Lippman again. had charge OF
making the slate for the judicial con-
vention. 1.-The first man named on tne
judicial ticket was Ogden Eiiles he
was nominated by II. J. Dininny OF the
inner circle. cheered for by the inner
circle, and elected by acclamation.

RIFT WITHIN THE Lutte.
The selecting of Hiles to head the
ticket came after great deal of spar
ring to secure someone who would neip
out In its general dignity. Hiles and
Dininny have not been on very good
terms since Diniuny pleaded in o petit
ton to the district court that he had
failed to take certain precautions, IN a
case handled while he was assistant TO
ogden Hiies as city attorney. because
he had been left alone In the office
TO do all the work while Hiles drew
the nav and kept away. And Dummy
was the man this morning who named
Ogden Hiles, possibly as peace Offer
ing. That the move was unpopular
with Judge Hiles is clearly shown by
his words rejecting the nomination.
1t took the convention just one hour
this morning to complete the work OF
placing in nomination candidates ior
the district bench and for the districc
attorneyship.
~ II the judicial campaign had been
exnacted for some time, and II man
aged to secure from Tooele and sum-
init counties at least enough delegates
10 transact business and to make a
neucleus for party organization IN
those counties.
Al the conclusion of the convention,
which was held In the house of repre-
sentatives quarters in the city and coun-
~ bui1ding district committee was
named to look after American party
interests in the judicial campaign,

and Frank Christensen as temporary
pecretary of the convention. and calico
these officers to the platform without
the ceremony of an extended nuouuc-
ton.

The credentials committee reporteu
after n short recess that there were no
contests. The committee on perma-
sent organization and order OF busl-
ness reported recommending that INT
temporary officers be made perma-

This opened the convention for It's
regular work, and the first thing TO ne
accomplished was the authorizing of 4

part of party campaigning.
Then came the choosing of the en-
blem. and the american Flag" was
