New York, April IA lively con-
today. With the supreme court injunc-
ton hanging over the heads OF the
state committee to prevent the ousting
of Senator Patrick H. McCarren's del
egates from sixteen contested districts
in Kings county, and the prospects OF
a lively fight by the followers of Will
lam j. Bryan to secure recognition for
their leader and an instructed delega-
ton in his behalf to the national con-
vention in Denver, the outlook was
that the proceedings would be- exciting
About the only thing that seemed to
be taken for granted was the plan to
send an uninstructed delegation from
New York to Denver in spite Of the
efforts of the Bryan men, who are
largely in the minority. McCarren $
sensational action upset the plans OF
Chairman Corners and Leader Murphy
and it was decided to hold a special
meeting of the state committee thia
morning. Unless the injunction is va
Gated the convention cannot unseat any
of the McCarren delegates, according
to the senator's statement.
Altho the convention was called to
meet at noon, the indications at that
time were 1t would be much later be-
fore the chairman's gavel fell. Charles
L. Murphy said the state committee
would not meet until it had determ-

for the nomination of Bryan, was re-
ferred to the resolutions committee

Chairman Carmody Predicts Victory.

republican party, placing at it's door the
cause for the present depression in the
business world. thru acts of commits

administrators. In conclusion he said:
"Now, fellow democrats, the hope of
the nation is in us. It's salvation is in
our hands. Promise of reform coming
from the republicans will fall upon
needless ears and doubling hearts il
we do our duty. People will no longer
trust them. They have been false to
every trust. The man who will trust
them again deserves what he will get,

state and nation in the coming cam
paign, but faltering democrats. If we

questions that are superficial and
academic and unite upon those vital
principles of democracy that are etern-
al and about which we all agree, in
which we all believe, which alone can
save the country now, the victory is
