New Yorker Gaves Oas an Eyasive In. tervaevv ComcerninG Hts Con- ference as the Fair-
 view Home.

Lincoln, Neb., July LA motor car packed very full of members of a local reception committee panted up the the brick paved driveway at Fairview this afternoon and deposited Charles A. Towne at the doorstep of William J. Bryan's home.
 Mir. Towne, who is an avowed can- didate for the Democratic nomination for vice-President as we'll as an old stopped off here for the express pur- pose of discussing Presidential politics with the leader. Mir. Bryan was expecting him and for half an hour thny remained closeted.
 At tho conclusion of the interview the master af Fairview let slip the in- formation that he had been glad to see Mfr. Towne, but had nothing further to say.
 Mir. Towne admitted to newspaper men that his candidacy as well as the platform had formed the main topics of conversation.
 New York is the logical State to furnish the Vice-Presidentiai nominee" said Mir. Towue. '-rhe public does not seem to realize the number of Demo- crats there are in Northern New York. I am not surprised at the destination of Judge Gray to be mentioned for Vice. President. Judge Gray Is q strong many a popular man with all classes: he. has ability. a magnetic personality and marked attainments. However, have been assured by friends from all parts of the country of support for my self. Assurances of an unmistakable character were given me by New York Democrats before I would permit the use of my name.~
 What will be done with the anti injunction plank at Denver?' Mir. Towne was asked.
 Tt should be a strong one--ons that does not hedge. The iaborfng man will be protected"
 "wiIl provision for the ihterlocutory decree be made for use In extreme cases? What is Mfr. Bryan:s position on this phase of the questionT'
 That cannot discuss; cannot even express my own opinion. for it would borrow color from the fact that I have been talking with Mir. Bryan
 Previous to Mfr. Towne's. visit Mir Bryan had practically set at rest, 'tenf- porarily. at least, reports that he fa-' vored Mir. Towne.
 Mfr. Towno Is quoted as saying that you some time ago assured Mir. Towne that he would be acceDfable to you: fs rhat true7" MT. Bryan was asked.
 He meant that he was favorable to them" said Mir, Bryan with stress on the last word. and wLth-a wave of the arm. indicated the galaxy of fa- vorite sons whose names have been mentioned in connection with the nom ination of a running mate.
 Mir. Bryan is silent on all matters pertaining to probable action by the convention In order to 6fsarm prob able criticism on the score that He is attempting to dictate.
