OPPOSITION SEEKS LEADER

liean convention.
Settlement of the various contests
was effected at a harmony confer

Chairman Mack, state Chairman Will

voted exclusively to the opening ad-
dress of ex-Judge Morgan J. OBrien
and to routine business resolutions.
Adjournment was taken until tomorrow
afternoon. when the reports of COM
mittees will be received.
Justice O'Brien was literally ap-
plauded throughout his brief address,
references to William j. Bryan and
to the late Grover Cleveland calling
out enthusiastic cheers.
At midnight Chairman Conners and
Leader Murphy were in conference. 1t
