Wish to Attend.

Denver, Col, June 30,--Members Of
the committee on convention arrange
ments who spent Sunday in the noun
tains northwest OF this city returned
TO find a strenuous program outlined for
them yesterday. No meeting Of the
committee win be held until four o'clock
this afternoon, but in the meantime the
members will have their time fully occu-
pied. The principal matter taken up
yesterday was the selection OF headquar-
ters Tor number Of the states which
have not as yet secured an abiding
place for ten week of the convention,
and the making Of contracts covering the
rental for and the decoration OF the head
quarters. The headquarters for these
various states must be sufficiently com
inodious to permit caucus being held
in the rooms, and because OF the fact
that practically all OF the hotel space
had already been engaged the committee
yesterday found ii necessary to arrange
for state headquarters in different sec
tions OF the business district OF the
city.
In addition to the work entailed by
the headquarters proposition, the mem
bers OF the committee were compelled
to visit the auditorium early in the
day to decide concerning some Of the
physical details OF the convention ar
rangements, and were obliged to con-
front also the never ending and always
increasing demand for tickets OF admis
sion. This proposition has really become
the most serious that has troubled any
convention committee in recent years.
Some OF the committeeman said that it
seems, in their opinion, as though the
state OF Colorado was anxious TO be in
side the Auditorium when the nomina-
tions for president and vicesp president are
made. 1t is expected also that the Wis
itors from the Pacific coast and other
far West points will largely outnumber
the attendaneesf from that section at any
conventicn@of' either party held in many
years.
1t mas been arranged, in accordance
with the custom of the Democratic par
ty, that all contests for seats on the
temporary roll call Of the convention viii
be heard BY a subcommittee Of the
national coiaraittee, which is to meet
on July 8 Although it is possible for
q protestant to give notice Of his forth
coming protest as late as the day on
which the subcommittee will meet, it
is not believed BY the members OF the
national committee that the number will
be sufficiently large to consume more
than portion OF the single day set
apart for the hearing Of evidence. The
finding OF the subcommittee will be
turned over on the night Of July 6 to a
meeting OF the full committee, which
will have its report ready for presenta-
tion when the convention is called to
order on the following day.
Work on the seating arrangements in
the convention hall and the elaborate
system Of decorating was actively pushed
Sunday, ard large force Of men was
hard at work early yesterday placing
the thousands of seats for the delegates,
alternates and visitors. The seats in
the galleries are of permanent char
acter mad are alredy installed, and it is
only upon the min floor, where portable
seats are used, that work Of yesterday
was being carried on. Although the
convention arrangements are far adyanc-
ed and the entire work OF preparation
seems to be thoroughly in hand, much
energy has been spent on the completion
of TIE electric light system throughout
the Auditorium to meet any possible
call that may be made for all-night
work. If there should be any unexpected
or unforeseen delay in completing the
decorations. The matter Of seats of the
