MORE HOPEFUL OF
GRAY'S SELECTION
Josiah Marvel Of Opinion That
PcnnsyIVania'S Action Will
Help DeIaWarean

Josiah Marvel returned home from
Harrisburg this morning much encour-
aged over the prospect of Judge Gray
capturing the Democratic nomination
for President. The fact that the Penn
svlvania State Convention there yester-
dav failed to instruct its delegates to
the Denver Convention for Bryan ana
that p. A. O'Boyle, a pronounced Gray
man. was chosen temporary chairman
of the convention. were significant in
themselves. Mr.. Marvel said, and from
this time on the Gray leaders in Penn
sylvania will make every effort to have
the entire delegation frcm the State
support the Delawarean.
Mr.. Marvel declared that Gray senti-
ment in Pennsylvania is most pro-
nounced. early one-half of the dele
gates chosen are for Gray, he said, the
fact lending encouragement to the Gary
eague Of Pennsylvania, members of
which organization took an active part
in the convention deliberations.
"All eyes have been On Pennsylvania,
and now that the Democrats there
have failed to instruct for Bryan tie
example is likely to have its effect on
those other States which Rre to elec:
delegates to the Denver Convention, T"
