BRYAN AND GRAY
THE DENVER TALK
But Josiah Marvel Declares
That the Judge Will be
Named for First Place
WILMINGTON LAWYER
HAS THEM GUESSING

BY John f. Nevins, staff Corresponds
ent United Press.
DENVER, July 1--"Lost. strayed. or
stolen. one good-sIzed boom for tho
presidency. Address Frederick B.
Lynch. Albany Hotel"
The above notice. posted by a snea-
tious wag in the lobby OF the Albany
to-day started talk and incidentally
drew attention to the absence OF advo-
Gates or the nomination OF Minnesota's
governor at next weeks convention.
Lynch was here last Saturday. Pro-
vision had been made by the manage
ment OF the hotel TO set aside for his
use and those of the other Johnson
boosters a large suite OF rooms. but up
70 the present time Lynch has not ap-
peared There are many letters ana
kilograms awaiting him One of the
later bears the inscription Collect 3"
and the hotel management Is beginning
to wear a worried look
The Gray boom arrived on scheduled
time. II is in the custody OF Josiah
Marvel, OF Wilmington. ana r. J.
Beamish, OF Philadelphia
We are making no claims" de-
clared Marvel. "On the contrary we
are willing to admit that on the flrst
ballot Judge Gray will be low man.
But we know that more than one-third
Iof the delegates are uninstructed; thar
Bryan and Johnson have engendered
Ianemies that make their nomination
impossible. and that Judge Gray will
have enemies. and after the initial ball
lot win stand alone as the only can
didate who can bring home the cleo
torai vote"
Marvel Has Them Guessing
Marvel seems to be really In earnest
In his claims. He believes, he says.
that his candidate will be nominated.
but he declines to discuss what trans
pired during his recent visit at Bryan's
home, or to say whether Judge Gray
would consent to be a vice-presidentlal
candidate.
THAT is something we know Moth
ing about" he said to-day. "Our mis-
sion Is to advocate Judge Gray's noml-
nation for president" However, tho
impression prevails among the Bryan
men here that the ticket when made up
! viii be Bryan and Gray. They say
the very fact that Gray's compaign
managers called at Lincoln en- route
, here and spent pleasant afternoon
1 with bryan SHOWS tHtIt If. no ill-Icol~
ing. In fact this is admittNd by Mar
vel and Beamlsh. who declare that
Bryan treated them with the kindliest
. consideration.
Mystery Of Johnson
The absence OF the Johnson man
lager Is inexpllcable No one has at
: tempted TO explain It, and no one here
apparently can. II does not mean that
> the AInnesotan win not be placed IN
nomination. as II "a known that Rep
resentative Hammond has completed
! the preparation OF his speech in which
he win name the governor The delay
. simply strengthens the belief OF tho
Bryan men that they have a walk over

|of Omaha. revised his first ballot" fig
ures to-day.
I'VE will nearly. n cot quite, reach
the 500 mark" he said. with South
Carolina and Montana yet to instruct.
we have 754 votes and these two States
will be In line when the roll Is called"
The betting to-day in the hotel lob
bies was 100 to so that Bryan would
haze at least 700 votes on the first
ballot.

the place was a beer garden where
the admission was two beer checks.

listen attentively TO the complaints

Something more than moral support
