The forty-eght delegates TO the con-
vention from the sixteen McCaTen dis
trcts in Kings were then put upon the
temporary roll. To take them on until
Justice Cranes order Is argued on Wednes-
day morning would be contempt Of court.
Senator McCaTren graduated from cooper
age TO the legal profession, He Is very
much more Of lawyer than some persons
have fancled. He evidently knew how
10 get around this situation, as he did In
the old days when he put hoop Ground
a barrel.

following contests. Jacob l.. Ten Eyck
OF Albany contests all three Assembly
districts in Albany county, Frank d. Mott

OF Jefferson Joseph Ilermol contests the
Second district o' Queens. -,
The contest in OswegO was not presented,

Bulger.
Mr. williams and Mr. Hubino and the
anti-MCC aTrenites were greatly ANA Ied,
II not shocked, by the McCaren injunction,
They expected clear sailing, When Chair
man Conners announced that nc couldn't
do anything for them they got down ~ the
writing room Of the hotel and issued the
following statement,
The State committee has refused ne the right
10 present our credentials and requests 10 he
g.srad or the temporary roll. We shan
ca-ty tho matter to the floor Of the convention
and have the convention decide who are en-
titled 10 the seats from the sixteen contest
ing delegations in Kings county.
We shall not let the matter rcst WItre the
state committee has left IL and let McCar-
Ten's annex to the Republican party send it's
. delegates to the national convention.
The State convention after hearing proof
Of the gross frauds that were practised in
Kings county ought certainly 20 seat "lr
delegates,
Chairman Conners sent Out hurry
Nla
committee to recOnvene at 10 o'clock this
morning at the Victoria Hotel, Mr.. Con
ners said that the purpose OF the meeting
Was 10 consider what action should he
taken by the committee "a body TO meet
The Injunction proceedings, The State
COMMITTEES will obey the order, and when
;he convention meets at noon to-day 10
perfect the temporary organization Sena-
tor McCaren and his delegates will be

sWe will obey the order Of tho court
Mr., Conners said last night. "and will seat
the McCarren men. but have been told
by the legal advisers of the State committee
that not even supreme Court Jnsuce
can dictate TO a State convention when
Il comes 10 making it's permanent organiza-
ton and that the powers Of the convention
are not subject 70 the review OF the Supreme
Court But In order To save time and
opposition tomorrow TO the seating ot the
McCarren delegates when the temporary

day. when argument on the temporary
Injunction Is to be heard. the committee
Will be represented by counsel and very
strong effort will be made to have the
temporary injunction vacated.
There were several conferences last night
between Mr.. Connerp, Mr.. Murphy and
l., H.. aloH of ha
mlttee and the result was the call for the
special meeting of the committee. At the
opening session Of the convention in
Carnegie Hall at noon nothing will be done
axoepE 10 organize temporarily and hear
Mr., 6armody's speech. II is possible that
the adjournment will be until Thursday,
but this is a matter which will be settled at
the meeting Of the State committee this
morning. SO upset are Mr. Conners Mr..
Murphy and their friends by the situation
which has been sprung upon them that they
had not decided last night who should he
the chAirmen Of the committees on creden-
fiala and resolutions. Mr. Conners said
last night that the chairmen would not be
determined upon until this morning.
McCarrens move upset discussion about
delegates at large to the Denver national
convention. II was ANNOUNCED, though. that
both Mayor Mcclellan and Lieut.. Gov.
Chanler had declined 10 be delegates at
large, and that the only two sure ones on
the lat were Mr.. Conners and Mr.. Murphy.
There was talk TO the effect that Alton Is.
Parker or John b. Stanchfleld or Lewis
Nixon would be selected. II was even said
that DIR. Nixon was quite sure of one OF
the places. He IL "A Bryan man out and
out. =,
The Bryan men, headed by Harry W.
Walker, were not slow in contributing their
share of Yesterdays friction. Walker
oDened headquarters In the Victoria and be-
side him was William Hoge and the Haunted
nlaoarCh all over the hotel TO the effect that
the BRYAN Progressive League was doing
business at the same old stand. Bryan's
representatives hoped TO break into Tam
many go that Tammany delegate TO the
convention would introduce resolution
which would instruct the delegates at large
and their aternates for Bryan. Walker
announced that certainly four Tammany
delegates desired TO introduce such reso-
htion, He did not care TO give the names
nf anv OF the four. Mr.. Murphy heard OF
Il and summoned a number OF Tammany
deleaates 10 his rooms In the Victoria. Ho
told these delegates that under no circum-
stanoes whatever should a Tammany dele
gate give proxy to Augustus Thomas or
10 any other known representative of Bryan
Neither must any Tammany delegate IN
trod,ioe n BRYAN resolution. Mr.. Murphy
intends that the New York delegates at large
and their alternates shall not be instructed
for any candidate.
Walker and his fellow Bryapites then
turned their eyes upstate and they
declared that their efforts had been re-
warded 90 that Thomas, the grand speech,
ifier for Bryan in these diggings, could
have PROXY either from Allegany or Dntoh-
eos. But Norman E. Mack. Democratic
