QUESTION OF CONTESTS.
National Committee VIII Begin
Hearings on Monday.

Denver. July 1.-The number of con-
tests before the national Democratic COM
mittee for representation as delegates on
the temporary roll call in the national
Democratic convention was increased to-
day from 50 to 81. Today's mail brought
notices of contests in the 9th and 18th
ohio districts In each of these cases the
factions are claiming that they represent
the regular" organization and are there
fore entitled TO seats as delegates.
THE national committee will begin hear
ing all contests on Monday morning. The
situation. with respect to the Idaho dele
gates. is expected to develop bitter
fight in which the Mormon question will
NAV a leading part. Former Senators
Dubois and Heitfeldt will base their claim
for recognition of their delegation upon
the plea that the convention which elected
the other faction was dominated by Nor
mons and was not a representative DEM
ocratic body.
The headquarters of the committee was
the scene of much activity today. Sec
retarv Woodson and Assistant Secretary
Edwin Seton were kept busy preparing
contested cases for the committee. They
were beseiged by steady stream of Wis
itors. most of whom called to file papers
for the consideration Of the committee in
determining the several contests.

ground they can imagine for the request
OF Mr.. Bryan. They discounted any re-

SLAPPEY IN REP0SE IN

Wound in Leg is Giving no
TOub lie.

Otha Slappey, the black desperate
who failed by hairbreadth in his
apparent effort to murder Special
officer Gaujot of the Seaboard Rail
way service here few nights ago,
was still in his steel cage at the bar
racks yesterday nursing the punctur-
ed tire which Gaujot made with "A
calibre bullet as Slappey fled in. the
darkness. Shooting from ambush in
manner thoroughly characteristic of
coward Slappey took to his heels after
firing two shots, but was overtaken by
one of Gaujot's bullets which pene-
trated the muscles of one of his pro-
peller blades. Although badly wound
ed Slappey, with the willing assis-
lance of numerous friends i n the 10
cality, escaped and was at large
for four days until captured in Cor
dele, as told in the Recorder
yesterday Two warrants are held
over Slappey, charging larceny from
the house and assault with intent
to murder. and the chances of hi.
seeing something of happy, quiet con-
vict life appear excellent. Slappey it
is said, still adheres to his determin-
alton to shoot Chief Feagin if the
opportunity is ever presented, a wild
threat which disturbs that officer
but very little.
