Predictions Regarding Outcome Msr-
est Conjecture.
Denver, July 9.-While it is still the
general belief that Mr.. Bryan will
head the Democratic ticket and that
only an extraordinary and sensational
change Of sentiment in the convention
can prevent his nomination on the
first ballot all predictions on the SUBJ
ject of the vice presidency must be
mere conjecture. Apart from every.
thing else the nature Of the platform
to be adopted must have q most I'M
portant bearing upon the character of
the men to be selected and the re-
mote possibility that the anti-Bryan
forces may by some turn of affairs
snatch victory from defeat and pre-
vent the nomination of the Nebraskan
gives just enough uncertainty to the
situation to discourage definite ar
engagements and combinations. There
are q large number Of candidates in
sight-Gray of Delaware, Mitchell of
Illinois, Kern of Indiana, Towne and
Harrison of New York. Howell of
Georgia and a host Of others. running
down all the way from "favorite sons"

the state delegation is expected to be
cast. to the ALSO mentioned" some
of whom have hardly more backing
than that. organized under their own

Paris, July Count Boni de Cas-.

ried Tuesday in London to Prince
Helie de Sagan, the counts cousin,
has opened what promises to be a sem
%sational legal battle for the possession
Of his three children, the offspring of
his marriage with Miss Anna Gould.
Maitre Bonnet, the counts attorney,
told the correspondent of the Asso.
ciated Press that a decided move
would be made in a few days, when he
would ask the court to give the II 8
tody Of all the children to the count
on the ground that the Princess de
Sagan was not a suitable protector for
them, insomuch as she is under the
complete domination and control Of
Prince Helie de Sagan. who is IN.
worthy to mold the position of father
to the children.
"As proof that Madame Gould was
completely dominated by the Prince
de Sagan we will offer her action in
travelling to Italy, the Riviera and to
England in company with the Prince
de Segan before she was married to
him." Maitre Bonnet declared. 1.-THE
cases will proceed as soon as the
Princess de Sagan returns and an
nounces her readiness to defend her
interests"

Session.

Denver, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention held brief ses-
sion and adjourned until evening,
whom stirring scenes and highly COL
ored incidents are expected.

dentials to have its report ready for

mittee, too, was making slow progress
and it being certain that the delay
must ceme at some time it wal de-
cided that it should take place at first.
The chief interest of the day CEN
tered around the action of the creden.
tials committee in declaring against
Colonel James M. Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania and the vigorous preparations
made by that skilled and veteran po-
litical warrior to organize his forces
for Q battle In the convention, which
he wal determined to carry to the
uttormost. p
In this tight New York for the first
time gave an indication of where its
cofors will fly in any contest that may
come up, 1t having, In company with
thirteen other states, signed the MI
nority credentials report. The aggre-
gate voting strength Of the states is
37e, but that figure is not an exact
statement of the votes that Guffey will
be able to call to his side, as not all
Of them are acting under the unit rule.
