FOES Of BRYAN

STRUGGLE
SECRET MEETING PLANS
C0MM0NER'S DOWNFALL
Effort to Get New York to
Serve as RaIIIyng Point for
0ppoSitioni Scant Prospect
of Success for Move.
fny MornInr Journar specIaI L.asea wIre.l

Denver, July 6-Tonight the anti
Bryan men made another effort to
concentrate against the nomination of
the Nebraskan and claim they are en-
couraged since the delegations began
to arrive.
The movement is not, however, taxi
on with deep seriousness by any OF
the men who are leading the Bryan
forces.
The greatest effort was made today
to keep the meeting secret, those who
were present being summoned by
small cards which were quietly passed
around. The cards stated the place
where the meeting was to be held,
which was in the Equitable building,
away from the hotels. and far from
the headquarters of any delegations.
The men who were present were also
kept secret to a large extent. but it
is known that among them were Dan
r. Coughlin and William f. Sheehan,
of New York; Colonel James NJ. Cuff
fey of Pennsylvania; former Senator
James ]. Smith, of New Jersey; A.
II. Cox of Georgia: G. l.. Straus. of
Maryland; Josiah Marvel, of Delaware,
and Fred b. Lynch, of Minnesota,
Other men were there who up to to-
night have not been mentioned as OPP
ponents of Mr.. Bryan.
The meeting was largely directed
by Mr. Sheehan. who declared that
the only way to focus the opposition
to Mr.. Bryan, was to give il a stand
ard around which II could rally II
was the consensus of opinion among
the party that If New York will de-
clare against Bryan and stand firm
ly by its declaration, there exists
chance of defeating him. 1t has been
clearly urged from the first that the
New York delegation would not cast
its vote for Bryan If il believed that
a decisive result could be obtained by
casting 1t for another candidate, who
met the favor of the Empire state.
Some of the party at todays secret
meeting pointed out that they still
had two days in which to work up
opposition to Bryan, that there was
a chance of bringing New York bod
lily to their aid lnasmuch as II has not
yet declared its position, and that IL
is generally understood Georgia Isl
ready to go against Mr.. Bryan II New
York will do so.

STREET CARS COLLIDE
At NEW YORK AVENUE

Two street cars collided at the i,1nc-
tion Of Pennsylvania and New York
avenues at $50 o'clock this morning.
and although none of the passengers
was injured both cars were slightly
damaged.
The accident was due TO the fact that
q yellow Georgetown car and a trailer
both empty. were being sent to the re-
pair shops over the route taken by
The Pennsylvania avenue green cars
James Jones. motorman on a Fourteenth
street car. saw the two smaller cars
standing at the switch, but took il for
granted that they would swing around
the corner into New York avenue. and
go up Fourteenth street. He had a
heavy load Of passengers on board,
and he put on power enough 10 swfns
his car around the curve. At the Same
moment Mason Hurst. the mOtOrnan on
the Georgetown cars. started 20 cross
into Pennsylvania avenue.
Jones discovered the direction Hurst
was taking too late TO avert a collision
and his car smashed into the side OF
the Georgetown car, breaking several
windows and stripping the projecting
woodwork The big car had its vesti-
bule windows broken and the DASH
board was damaged Jones remained
at the controller. but escaped injury.
The damage TO the cars is comparative
y slight
Owing TO the fact that the accident
occurred on the switch all west bound
traffic was tied up until the two empty
cars had been replaced on the rails and
sent 10 the repair shops.
