leaders are unable to estimate the Bryan
strength or formulate the platform.

gates-at-large to the anti-Bryan forces.
but II they do not get the eight district
delegates they will fight.
1t looks as if the Bryan men may Sc
cure six delegates. four by their de-
mands and two by concession. The Bry-
an men control twelve votes from Kent.
Dorchester. and Wicomico. and eight and
half votes from Cecil Somerset. and
Talbot. more than a majority OF the
Eastern Shore
The State and city leaders have nat
agreed finally upon their programme Of
candidates for MISUNDERSTANDING and for
district delegates Nor have they agree I
upon their platform.
The fourth delegate-at-large has not
yet been found. the three selected being
Gov Crothers. Gen. Murray Vandiver
and Mr.. s. Davies Warield. though Mr..

Taft Made Bad Blunder.
Mr.. Burke was the only one OF the
party who would consent 10 talk this
evening. He said:
I'm view Of the rather critical situation.
il is scarcely right that we should talk
at great length at present on the develop
ments that have taken place since the
adjournment OF Congress. There is no
question, however. but that Mr. Tafts
blunder was a most serious one. and one
that the public in general could not help
but take cognizance Of. While / am not
in position to say anything as 10 what
was discussed this evening. still / will
admit that the chances OF Senator Knox
seem brighter than ever before.
DOdgeS Pertinent Question.
Pressed for a reply as to whether a
combination OF some kind was not made,
Mr.. Burke said:
Speaker Cannon. Senator Hemmenway.

Washington TO Chicago in an auto, and
they stopped over here to spend the night

was in such a drunken condition that he
did not know what he was doing. or
whether the story as told by Philip was
true
Justice Barnard's charge was brief. and

call until shot rang out. and this SEEM
ingly was the only thing IN the provi-
dence Of God that could stop that ringing
cry for money"
Mr. Davis said that when Philips ring
was taken, he became convinced he must
leave Macaboy. and tried 20 do so. He
traced the movements OF the three men
from Hagerty's to the Arlington. where
the bar was found closed: OF tlseir re-

him to the elevator; Of the return trip to
1855 Ohio avenue, where Philip thought
he could get rid OF Macaboy. as Macaboy
was not welcome or wanted there.
Mr. Davis said that when the party
reached there, as testified 20 by Philip
and corroborated by witnesses. Macaboy
got In front Of Philip after the latter had
rang the bell. and pulled him away from
the door, or tried 10 pull him In the yes
thule. where they would be alone.
Then" said Mr.. Davis, Philip realized
he must get away from him at all haz-
ards. He had never known him 10 act
Ike this before, and his manner was
menaeing. He broke away from the cab
man. and making his way to the auto
mobile ordered the chauffeur 10 go to the
Arlington. AS he told you while on the
stand, he had determined that when he
reached there, II Macaboy followed him in,
he would have him elected by the en-
ployes there. But when Philip jumped
out, as he assembled the steps, MacabOy
called 10 him that he was going 20 the
New Willard. where his cab stand was
located. He then thought he was finally
rid OF him.
Philip, said Mr.. Davis, believing he was
really rid Of Macaboy, determined TO GO
