tcont,nped from Page ono,

of Lieutenant Governor Chanler OF
New York seems to have weakened
somewhat and his name is not men
toned as prominently as it was two
days ago. This is largely due to the
announcement made by Norman u.
| Mack, the national committeeman from
| New York, that he has not authority
| to speak for Mr.. Chanler and that ms
| interest in the movement was dictated
by friendship and by sincere BELIEF
| that the New York official Is well
qualified to take second place on the
| ticket
Only one new name was mentioned
today as vice presidential possibility.
| This was Governor George Il. Cham-
| berlain of Oregon. He found mucn
favor with some of the party leaders
and it is expected he will be personally
acceptable to Mr.. Bryan IL the latter
is nominated. Sponsors of the vice
presidential boom located outside OF
New York state claim to be greatly
encouraged by the fact that already
| five New York men have been mem
toned as aspirants to the vice presi-
| Dental nomination.
| They believe that with the New York
delegation divided among that number
of candidates an outsider has a far
better chance of securing the prize
| than would be the case il the delega-
ton from the Empire state were stand
ing solidly for a single man.
ChapIains Announced
Chairman Taggart of the national
committee today announced the chap
lains for the last three days of the
] convention and the complete list as

Secretary Urey Woodson of the ma
tional committee did not announce
| today the names of the assistant Sec
retaries, reading clerks and tally clerks
of the convention, a press of routine
work having rendered him unable to
fill out the list from the large number
| of applicants. The number Is limited
| to fifteen.
| Notices of contest have been filed
with the national committee involving
| forty-five seats, but of this number the
contests actually filed relate to thirteen
seats Six Of these are from the Dis
trict of Columbia, the contest having
| been filed today, and seven are from
the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and
| Sixth Pennsylvania congressional dis
tricts. The First and Second districts,
however, have only one seat each in
dispute.

from Chicago and Brooklyn. In the

Carren-Murphy fight.
Two delegations at large were elected

against the seating of the delegation
| headed by former Senator Dubois has
| been received.
Contests may be filed at any time be-
fore the meeting Of the national COM
| mittee on July 6.
ments paid a visit today to the Audi
| torium, which was pregnant in results
as far as increasing the seating capacity
of the hall is concerned, but which
| brought woe to Architect Willison. who,
with a keen professional eye to the
] beauty and finished character of his
work, had arranged the seating
capacity in such way as to produce
the most pleasing effect on the eye of
| the spectators.
In so doing, however, he had left a
considerable amount of vacant floor
| space, much of which was in extra
width given to the aisles.
| When the members of the committee
visited the hall today their eyes at once
| fastened upon this extent of empty
| floor, and Roger c. Sullivan of Illinois
| at once asked why more chairs could
not be placed
Would Mar Scenic Effect
''It would injure the scenic effect" re-
piled Architect Willison.
Mr.. Sullivan, in a single energetic
| sentence, gave vent to the opinion that
| what the committee desired was seats,
| seats, and then more seats and that
scenic effect could take its chances or
betake itself to any place it might
| choose to go.
The other members of the committee
whose lives are made a burden by the
| unceasing demand for tickets, cordially
supported the criticisms and conten-
! tions of Mr. Sullivan, and the net re-
suit was that the seating capacity of
the hall was at once increased from the
original number of 1888 to more than
12,700.
The members of the committee are
now poring over blue prints in the
effort to see If they cannot still further
increase the possible number of ad
missions. The alterations suggested to-
day also resulted in allowing seventy
five additional seats for members of the
press.
The local committee on convention
arrangements headed by Mayor r. w.
Speer and c. w. Franklin and G. M.
Day, members of the Denver Conven-
tion league, held a conference today
with the national committee relative to-
the number of seats to be allowed to
the people of Denver. They were given
the assurance that the city would be
amply provided for
The national committee, which for
several days have been roosting in
cramped quarters on one of the upper
floors of the Brown Palace hotel, today
moved into the more commodious quar-
ters on the parlor floor, which they will
occupy until after the convention has
adjourned.
