Denyer, Colo, July S.-The second
day OF the democratic national con
yention today did not bring about any
thing Of unusual interest After be-
| ing in session CT an hour or more the
convention adjourned until $3.50
o'clock, when the committee on Gre
dentals will render its report.
The convention was called to order
at 12:22, Rocky Mountain time, and
the program as outlined was taken
up.
The announcement was made that
the credentials committee was not
ready to report, and il was stated
that the report could not be made un-
til s p. m. A motion for adjourn
ment until p. m. was greeted with
storm Of "Noes" The chairman
requested the band to play amid
much confusion.
The chairman's gavel failed to
bring the delegates to order and
| when Chairman Ben cried cut that no
business could be transacted until the
convention gave order the delegates
quieted. "a ,o..
With the credentials committee the
Pennsylvania case was the highest
piece of explosive about the coaven-
ton. If the Guffey delegates are I'M
Iseated, and the feeling is that they
twin be, there is due to follow the
hottest kind of a fight en- the floor CT
the convention. If Guffey's men re-
tain their seats II is not likely mat
there will be fight but Col. Guffay
Is mad from center to circumference
/ and surely viii start something il
ne sees q good chance.
lhe NicePres dontal situation is
clarifying Gray has finally ana pos.
itiyely declined to be Bryan's running
mate,
Gray Still Refuses to Accept Second
Place.
The best developed botm today
iarc those OF Congressman Ollie James
Of Kentucky, W. + Douglas of 8Tassa,.
eha5etts, Mcneil Of Conaectlcut, and
Francis Burton Harrison Oh New
York. II the New York delegation
pushes tho name Or Harrison ii is
probable chat the prize will go to the
young congressman, as there is an
apparent strong disposition on tie
part Of the convention to allow New
| foRh 10 name the second man. FutlS
| Iefmdra some think New York should
| get this honor as compensation for
the 'cussin9 ont" she got at the hands
OF the anti-Bryanites for failing to
take the lead in the movement against
Bryan. The New Workers undoubted,
" quelched this movement.
Judge Parker stated to the platform
committee that the only plank in the
Bryan platform New York was pre-
pared to fight Is that declaring for
the physical valuation OF railroads.
Robson is On Hand; Wants a Larqer
Navy.
Denver, July Congressman Hob.
son appeared before the resolutions
committee and presented a strong
plea for plank in the platform fa-
Vorlng a larger navy aud better
coast defense. He described in dra-
iIatlc language the humiliation the
present unpreparedness Of the United
states would lnyoil IN the event Of a
clash with Japan, which he said was,
inevitable.
The committee gave the greatest
attention to his remarks and at the
conclusion ef his address members
from all parts Of the Union heartily
congratulated the Alabamian.
