DENVER. July 6-The centre OF ac-
tivitiy Of the Democratic party is the
Brown Palace Hotel on the eve Of
the assembling OF the convention the
National Committee is ut work making
up the temporary roll Of delegates while
bands are DlavirF outside and the dele.
cations are cheering each other as they
march about the streets.
Some of the contests are being hard
fought and for the first time since the
preliminary work was begun there are
evidences Of acrimonious feeling that
NAV Vet crop out on The oor OF tho
convention. The committee was called
TO order at 10 o'clock by Chairman
Taggart. Long before that hour dele
gates We're about the corridor button-
holing members ana bringing every
possible BIT of Influence to bear to
emphasize the why's their particular
del-gation should have the best of 1t.
A molten was adopted that separate
sub-committees should the contests
from each State ond report to the main
body. 1t was decided IN appoint the
subcommittee ct once and then the
committee adjourned until o'clock.
when the subcommittee viii be heard
and roll call had.

New York, 2nd. srd. 4lh. 5th and 9th
districts
Ohio. 9Th and 18th districts.
Pennsylvania. the first six districts.
istrict Of Columbia. entire delegation.
The grounds of contest range from
lirregularity to allegations of fraud.
The chief interest is in the Idaho
and New York contests In the for
mer. former United States Senator
Dubois was waging the hardest battle
Of his optical career. The real issue
is Mormonism. The contestants allege
that Dubois, by reason OF fraudulent
practices, has converted a minority
into an apparent majority. and had
ridden rough shod over the legally
elected delegates 20 the State conven-
ton. They charge that there had
/ been collusion with the Democratic
central committee resulting in an in
vitation to the American party, which
/ is the anti-Mormon faction. to send
delegates to the Democratic conven-
ton. BY this means it is asserted Du-
bois was able to be seated as a dele
gate to the convention, he being the
choice of the Americans In his home
country. In answer, Senator Dubois
and his lieutenants characterized the
contestants as Jack Mormons."
The New York contests presents the
problem Of one boss trying TO get rid
OF another boss. Patrick McCarrer
fought hard. but he indicated that h'
had little hope of winning. He stated
that he and his followers are privileged
over Bird Coler and his following bS

carry out Murphy's bidding.
