AWAITS committee REPORT
Democratic Convention Holds q Brief
Session.

Denver, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention held . brief ses.
sion and adjourned until evening,
whom stirring scenes and highly col
pred incidents are expected
The delay was made necessary by
the inability of the committee on Gre
aentials to have its report ready for
the convention. The resolutions COM
mittee, too, was making slow progress
and 1t being certain that the delay
must come at some time 1t was de.
cided that it should take place at first.
The chief interest of the day cen
tered around the action of the creden-
tials committee in declaring against
Colonel James M. Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania and the vigorous preparations
made by that skilled and veteran DO
atical warrior to organize his forces
for battle in the convention, which
he was determined to carry to the
uttermost.
In this fight New York for the first
time gave an indication of where its
cofors will fly in any contest that may
ccme up, it having. in company with
thirteen other states. signed the mi
nority credentials report. The aggre-
gate voting strength OF the states is
BIG, but that figure is not an exact
statement Of the votes that Guftey will
be able to call to his side as not all
of them are acting under the unit rule

SEEKS cus1oDYoF CHILDREN
Count de casteIlane Declares Forme,
Wife. Not Proper Protector.

Paris. July Count Boni de Cas-
tellane, whose former wife was mar.
rfed Tuesday in London to Prince
Hello de Sagan. the counts cousin,
has opened what promises to be SEN
sational legal battle for the possession
of his three children, the offspring of
his marriage with Miss Anna Gould.
Maitre Bonnet, the counts attorney,
told the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press that decided move
would be made in few days, when he
would ask the court to give the Gus
tody Of all the children to the count
on the ground that the Princess de
Sagan was not suitable protector for
them, insomuch as she is under the
complete domination and control of
Prince Helie de Sagan. who is un.
worthy to mold the position of father
to the children.
"As proof that Madame Gould was
completely dominated by the Prince
de Sagan we will offer her action in
travelling to Italy, the Riviera and to
England in company with the Prince
de Sagan before she was married to
him." Maitro Bonnet declared. "The
cases will proceed as soon as the
Princess de Sagan returns and an.
nounces her readiness to defend her
interests"

GUFFEY IS DEP0SED
Credentials Committee Seats Bryan
Men From Pennsylvania.
MINORITY REPORT PREPARED

Representatives Of Fourteen States
Vote Against Action Taken and Will
Support Fight on the Floor Of the
Convention.
Denver, July 9.-The committee on
credentials of the national Democratic
convention concluded its labors after
1t had been in continuous session for
Lwenty-nine hours.
No attempt was made to restrict the
time for the presentation of evidence
in the various contests, the proceed.
lngs in which were all conducted with
open doors.
The Idaho, Ohio and Pennsylvania
cases provoked much bitterness from
the opposing sides.
Colonel James M. Guffey of Pitts.
burg went down to defeat before the
committee in all his contested cases,
the contestants all being seated by a
vote of % to Is.
In the Idaho case the Mormon fac
Zion was put to rout. the committee
deciding in favor of the Dubois fac
ton, who were the seated delegates
by vote of 20 to 20.
The Nineteenth Ohio district again
was given to Tom johnson of Cleve-
land, who appeared in the committee
room and made strong plea that the
action of the national committee be
sustained. The Ninth. or anti-Johnson
district delegates, we're. allowed to re-
tain their seats.
The committee made short work of
the New York, Illinois and District of
Columbia contests, unanimously sus-
tanning the action of the national COM
mittee in each case.
Oklahoma Given Eighteen Votes.
The fight of Oklahoma for eighteen
delegates instead of fourteen resulted
In victory for the new state. The
claim of Oklahoma was based on the
allegation that there had been an in
correct apportionment of the districts
and the committee accepted that view.
The action OF the committee in the
Pennsylvania contests gives the Bryan
men control of the delegation, thus
displacing Colonel .Guffey. for ten
years leader of the Pennsylvania De.
mocracy. The fight will now be car
fied to the floor of the convention.
The vote of the committee on Gre
asntials on the Pennsylvania contest
showed fourteen states. including New
York. voting with Colonel Guffey's
forces. AS the latter are anti-Bryan
the attitude of these fourteen states
was regarded as showing an undercur
rent of sentiment. Yhe fourteen states
voting with the Guffey forces were:
New York. New Jersey. Tennessee,
Texas. Virginia. West Virginia, Della.
ware. Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Geor-
sia. Louisiana, Kentucky and Mary.
land.
A minority report from the creden.
tials committee is being prepared by
Attorney General Strauss of Maryland
and it Ia expected that the representa-
lives Of the fourteen states who voted
with Guffey will sign the minority re-
port.
