HUDSON DELEGATES LEAVE,
CHEERING FOR BRYAN.
Especial to the Evening Star. !

JERSEY CITY, July ~3.-Shouting for
Bryan and declaring that he will be
nominated on the first ballot, 100 Dem
ocrats this morning left Jersey City fol-
Denver, over the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. The first train was scheduled to
pull out at 11:14 o'clock, but did not
start until 1870.
The delegates from the Ninth and
Tenth Congressional districts who went
with the party were City Collector
Robert Davis, Congressman James A,
Hamill, President of the Board of AL
dermen Eugene F. Kinkead n for
mer Congressman Allan Benny.
From the time the early birds ar
rived and were photographed, shortly
after 10 o'clock, until the rain pulled
out, they cheered Bryan at every OPP
portunity. James E. MARITIME was along
to keep up the Bryan sentiment. Mr..
MARITIME is an alternate-at-large. He
said that while he left New Jersey not
sure Of a seat In the convention, he did
not doubt but that he would act as
somebody's proxy.
Wives and sweethearts of the dele-
gates and their friends saw the train
off. TwL women made the journey to
Denver. They were Mrs. James w
Leahy and Mrs. S. M. Egan. The gen.
eral belief os the delegates was that
Bryan will be nominated on the first
ballot. Robert Davis said:
'Ir will be Bryan without a doubt
He will secure the nomination on the
first ballot. We will caucus on the
tr ain after leaving Trenton"
Twill Hudson be bound by the
caucus?"
yes" James E. MARITIME said.
TT will be Bryan on the first ballot
He will have between TOO and 800 votes
If we can't elect Bryan we can't elect
anybody. This talk of Gray for Presi-
dent and Vice-PresidentA is absurd, and
Gray's letter makes it more So"
Delegates Hamill. Kinkead and
Benny all declared for Bryan. Every
thing was at sea with respect to the
vice-presidency. Robert Davis said he
had no candidate. Eugene F. Kinkead
held out for Lieutenant overno'
Chanler, of New York. James A.
Hamill declared for Francis Burton
Harrison. Allan Benny was the only
delegate outside of Mr.. Davis who die
not declare for somebody.

County Collector s. M. Egan, Court
House Commissioners Alec J.. Clements
and William E. Smith, County Super
visor Luke j. Clarke, James w. Leahy,
