today was the emphatic denial giyen
by w J. Bryan to a story printed in
Pittsburg this morning that he had
sold out" to the Kerr faction of the
Pennsylvania democracy in order to
accomplish the defeat of Colonel Jas.
NJ. Guffey for national committeeman.
The price alleged to figure in the
transaction was 100000 as a cam
paign contribution. The charge IS
said to have been made that Mr.. Bry-
an made good" but that Mr.. Kerf
and his supporters had not come for
ward with the money. Mr.. Bryan de-
clared that ne had never heard of the
offer or agreement and he suggested
that the proper persons to consult were
the members of the committee on Gre
dcntials which decided the Pennsyl-
yania contests.
Mr.. Bryan would not permit him
self to be drawn into a further dis
cuSsion with James W. Van Cicavc,
president of the Manufacturers asso-
citation, who came out iu the press to-
day with additional reasons why the
business men of the country should
not support the democratic national
ticket This decision was based ON
the fact that MT Van Cleavc had fail
