RBYAN's BID FOR LABOR VOTE
Many kilograms for Peerless Owe,
Recent Speech on Platform,

FAIRVIEW, Lincoln. Neb., July 49,
William J. Bryan's speech of last night
to the members of the Central Labor
Union of Lincoln, In which he emphasized
the labor planks of the Denver platform.
has resulted in the receipt by him today Of
a large number of kilograms from labor
leaders all over the country congratulating
him on his utterances.
The dispatch from Erie. Pa, quoting
Samuel Gompers as denying that he sent
a cablegram to William r. Hearst, which
resulted in the latter's denouncing the
democratic party, has attracted consfd-
cradle attention at Fairview.
There is no disposition to question Mr..
Gompers' statement. but on the contrary
there is every reason to believe that an
inquiry already has been set on foot to
ascertain If possible the author Of the
cablegram credited to Mr.. G0mpers.
Although Mr.. Bryan has reached no
final decision in the matter. it is very
probable that on his way from here to
Chicago next Friday he will deliver sew
eral addresses from the train. the first
of which will be at Omaha He has re-
fused the tender Of a special train and
will travel as an. ordinary passenger.

Noted Steamship President Expects
to Die in the Service.

HAMBURG. July 1S.-Albert Ballin d.
rector general Of the Hamburg-American
steamship line. is at present out OF town,
but responsible person in the manage
ment of the company's affairs declared to-
day that the report that Herr Balm was
to retire July 80 and that he would be
succeeded by Emil Boas, the company's
general manager in the United States.
had no basis whatever.
Some time ago, speaking to the Associ-
ated Press on the subject of his rumored
intention to give up the management Of
the Hamburg-American company, Herr
Ballin said he expected to spend his life
with the Hamburg American company
and die in its service.
For long time past minority of the
shareholders have not been fully in &C
cord with Herr Ballin's policies. and
their passive opposition occasionally has
become active. 1t Is the conviction, how
ever. Of those who are familiar with
the companys affairs that the internal
differences Of opinion are not serious.
