tests before the national committee, and
at the same time to carry the fight into
the national convention

Hitchcock and Mr.. Staten, lis clerk-re-
firing
This evening solomon Luna, Of New
Mexico, whose proxy Mr.. Hitchcock
holds, and Alexander Mackenzie. OF North
Dakota. whom Mr. Staten has been rep
.resentng. arrived in town. and naturally.

the complexion Of the committee but it
will eliminate Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr..
