discussion it was determined that the
proper mode of procedure for the ap-
pointment of delegates to the state
convention at Goldfield August 20

DENVER, July 9.-The committee
on credentials of the national Demo-
cratic convention concluded. its i'm
portant labors shortly after 40
o'clock today, after having been in
continuous session since 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. No attempt was
made to restrict the time for the
presentation Of evidence in the vari-
GUS contests, the proceedings In
which were all conducted with open
doors. The Idaho, Ohio and Penn
sylvania cases provoked much bitter
ness from the opposing sides.
Col. James M. Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania went down to defeat before the
committee in all his contested cases,
the contestants all being seated by
vote of 81 to Is.
In the Idaho case, the Mormon fac
tion was put to rout, the committee
deciding in favor of the Dubois fac
tion, who were the seated delegates,
by a vote of 26 to 20.
The nineteenth Ohio district again
was given to Tom Johnson of Cleve-
land, who appeared in the committee
TOOul tUlS lHOIuluS uiduc d
strong plea that the action of the ma
tional committee be sustained. The
ninth Ohio and Johnson district dele
gates were all allowed to retain their
seats.
The committee made short work of
the Minnesota, Illinois and District
of Columbia contests, unanimously
sustaining the action of the national
committee in each case.
The fight of Oklahoma for Is dele
gates instead of IA resulted in VIC
tory for the new state. The claim of
Oklahoma was based on the allega-
tion that there had been an incor-
rect apportionment OF the districts
and the committee accepted that
view.
The supreme fight ragged about the
contest over the Pennsylvania delega-
tion and the displacement of Col.
James M. Guffey of Pittsburg, for
years the leader of the Pennsylvania
Democracy. Intense interest had
been awakened over this all-night
1ight, which eliminated at 10 O'Clock
this morning when the element
friendly to Mr.. Bryan secured COM
plete victory before the committee on
credentials
It was not alone a personal con-
test but one to some extent inyolv-
ing the presidential nomination IT.
self, for If Guffey should be finally
and decisively unhorsed before the
convention today it meant that the
one rallying point Of the anti-Bryan
forces had gone to pieces; whereas a
.Guffey fight on the floor of the con-
vention meant the first SHOW down"
OF q roll call between the two con-
tending elements-Bryan and anti
Bryan. Here, then, was to be the
first alignment which might force
New York into the open and compel
other wavering delegations to show
their colors.
Colonel Guffey was fairly stunned
when word was brought to him Of the
action of the committee.
"Can it be possible" he said, "that
this Acknowledgement of men repre-
senting the sovereign state of Penn
sylvania, men holding certificates un-
der the great seal of the common
wealth, has deliberately taken
placer"
