A decision Of the committee on
credentials adds four Bryan votes in
oklahoma and reduces the anti-Bry-
an vote to ten In Pennsylvania.
At 1912 the temporary chairman
appeared on the rostrum The con-
yention will adjourn until p. m.
to await the report of the committee
on credentials
With the assurance OF another per
feet day and prospects OF lively
tight over the report OF the commit
tee on credentials, the convention
crowd commenced early 10 move to-
ward the auditorium Progress to-
ward the hall, however, was greatly
impeded by a great parade OF Tam
many men from New York, which
was headed by a band Of music and
number OF gaudily attired Indians.
They wound their way through the
business section. About 1000 men
we're In line, among them Leader
Charles +. Murphy and other big
men OF Tammany, making by far the
largest parade so far Of the conven-
ton. BY 1870 all the sidewalks in
the neighborhood OF the auditorium
were choked with people The day
was warm outside but when the doors
OF the auditorium were opened II
was found to be fifteen to twenty de-
grses cooler than the street tenn
perature.
II looks as II the convention
may take a recess until late this aft
ernoon 10 give the credentials com
mittee chance TO prepare its report.
Fourteen states. including New York,
will join in the protest against un-
seating the Pennsylvania delegation.
The Democratic national conven-
| ton held a brief session today but
will meet again tonight when stir
ring scenes and highly colored Incl
dents are expected This delay was
made necessary by the inability Of
the credentials committee to have its
report ready for the convention be-
fore 2 O'Clock in the afternoon. The
resolutions committee was making
slow progress and IL being certain
that delay must come some time It
was decided IT. should take place to-
day. Chief interest of the day cen
tered around the action OF the Gre
dentials committee in declaring
against Col Guffey Of Pennsylvania,
and vigorous preparations are being
made by that skilled and veteran po-
litical warrior to organize his forces
for battle In the convention which
| he was determined to carry to the
uttermost. In this fight New York
for the first time gave an indica-
ton where its colors will fly in any
contest that may come up, and in
company with thirteen other states,
signed the minority credentials re-
port The aggregate voting strength
Of these states is 376, but that fig
ure is not an exact statement OF votes
that Guffey will be able to call to
his side, az not all of them are acting
under the unit rule.
II was 1926 when Chairman Bell
began to vigorously rap for order
and to direct that the asles be clear
ed, It took over ten minutes to get
order and then the chairman intro
duced Rev. Christian F, Reisner, Of
Denver. who delivered the invocation.
At the conclusion OF the prayer the
chairman announced that marching
clubs would pass through the hall
and as the last words left his lips
the strains o.; Dixie floated into the
auditorium and cheer broke from
the crowd as the first Bryan banner
swung through the doors. The pa
rade was not long one and the con-
