DISCUSSION Is BITTER.

DISCUSSION Il BITTER.
Before the foregoing result was reached
there was a bitter discussion. 1t began
Immediately after Chairman Woodruff
had read Vice President Sherman's letter.
when William Barnes. jr., arose and said;
IN view of the published statement of
Chairman Crisccm that Vice President
Sherman's selection as temporary chair
man of the convention was the result of
mise presentation and trickery. I think
Mr. Griscom should be asked If he has
any proof TO back up this statement, and
that he give it here and now before this
committee. I demand from Mr.. Iriscom
the proof.
President Griscom then repeated his
charges made after the original meeting
OF he committee which chose Mr.. Sher-
man. Herbert Parsons and Mr.. Barnes
spared hOtly.
Bv this time the committee and the
visitors were aroused 10 fever heat
Word had gone about the hotel that
there was a great fight going on in the
State committee. and crowds Jammed
into the committee rooms Mr.. Barnes,
addressing Mr.. Parsons, said:
This question should be settled man
10 man. II is not a political question.
That phase of it viii be discussed in the
convention tomorrow"
Calls IL TricI1ery.
Mr.. Parsons. replying 10 Mr.. Barnes,
said:
Your failure TO answer is an admission
OF trickery."
Chairman Woodruff. interjecting. in
formed Mr.. Parsons that Mr.. Griscom
was not a member of the State commit
tee and naturally would not be con-
suited. Mr. Barnes, turning 10 Mr.. Par
sons. said:
There was no need of conferring with
Mr.. Griscom on this subject"
To which Mr.. Parsons replied, heated
ly:
Mr.. Barnes knows that We always
conferred on these questions"
Mr.. Krulewitch. sitting Besides Mr.. Par
sons, took hand in the battle by shoot
ing a statement at Mr.. Ward. saying:
'Mr. Ward said that the President was
satisfied with Sherman's selection
Mr.. Griseom and Mr.. Henkel then said
that Mr. Ward had told each OF then
that Mr.. Sherman was a candidate and
that it was perfectly agreeable TO Presl-
