VOTE AGAINST BRYAN
New York Convention Committee
Opposed to Endorsement.
HOT FIGHT ON M'CARREN.
Committee on Credentials Expected to
unseat Brooklyn Senator's Dele
gates on Ground of Fraud-other
Contests Made.

New York, April 15.-Interest in the
Democratic state convention. in seq
sion in Carnegie hall, is about evenly
divided between the fight for and
against the Endorsement of the presi-
Dental candidacy Of William Jennings
Bryan and the report of the committee
on credentials.
Among the reports circulated in the
hotel corridors was one to the effect
that Chairman Corners had asked Au-
gustus Thomas, president of the Bry-
an Progressive Democratic league. to
wire Mr.. Bryan asking for permission
to withdraw the opposition to an I'M
instructed delegation.
The Bryan men offered In the con-
ventlon resolution instructing the
delegates TO he chosen for Mr.. Bryan.
Under the rules which the convention
had adopted for its procedure the Bry-
an resolution was referred unread TO
committee. The committee on resolu-
tons met and in turn referred the
Bryan resolutions TO a subcommittee
appeal by Mr.. Thomas and then by
vote of to / decided TO report to
the full committee recommendation
against an instructed delegation. The
subcommittee report was received
and adopted by the committee on reso-
buttons by vote Of IS to 4. A Ininorl-
~ report Of the subcommittee calling
for an instructed delegation was de-
feated by similar vote. Nineteen
members Of the committee on resolu-
lions were absent when the vote was
taken. The Bryan men declared later
that they would carry the fight to the
floor Of the convention.
Fight Against Mecsrren.
The committee on credentials. of
which Leader Murphy and Chairman
Corners are in absolute caxntrol. will
probably report in favor Of unseating
delegates from eleven Of the sixteen
districts which McCarren has CONTROL

Alleged Frauds In Brooklyn.
1t is declared that positive evidences
Of fraud committed by Senator Nc
Carren's henchmen at the primaries in
Brooklyn on March 81 last were pro-
duced before the credentials commit
tee. The contestants claimed that in
every one Of the sixteen districts which
McCarren carried his delegations were
elected by frauds of the grossest kind
1t was shown, it is alleged, that in
nearly every election district Of the
Second assembly district more votes
were counted than were actually cast
and that scores of fraudulent votes
were prevented by determined watch
ers and unterrified police.
The proportion of suspected votes
cast in the assembly district of the to-
tai 2,776 votes recorded for McCarren's
leader. Edward Meaney. was figured
by the contestants as nearly half. The
candidate for leader got
1908 votes.
Contests from other counties up the
state also came before the committee
for adjudication.

COOPtRS FIND SUBSTITUTE WOODS.

The coopers of the United States
are probably suffering more at the
present time for want of a supply
of timber than the men OF any other
.wood-using industry.
This condition is caused largely
by the great decrease in the supply
Of these woods considered necessary
for cooperage stock, and the lack Of
knowledge of the merits of such
species of wood as might possibly
be used as substitutes. A few years
ago, the cooperage manufacturers of
the Pacific Coast obtained their sup
ply of timber from the East, using
very largely the better cooperage
woods, such as white oak and elm
Recently, these manufacturers have
been using, with reasonable success
various species of wood native to
their immediate section. Sitka
spruce is now largely used on the
Pacific Coast for such slack cooper
age as flour, sugar, lime and bottle
barrels, and tight cooperage, such
as vinegar, pickle and cider barrels,
butter and cheese cooperage, buckets
and pals.
Recently, wine barrels have been
made from Sitka spluce. these being
