PENNSYLVANIA
REPUBLICAN,
CONVENT

Harrisburg, Pa, June 22.-One SEN
sation after another is keeping dele
gates to the Republican state conven-
tion, which opened here today, In a
state of intense interest bordering
upon alarm. In addition to the star
Ting things which have already hap
pened there are rumors of other COM
plications to add to the bewildering
siI.ction.
Of the most interesting compli-
cations is that Senator Boise Penrose,
on the eve of what seemed complete
victory at the convention for the can
didates of his choice, has been served
with notice that the nomination of
John K. Tener as governor will be met
with the placing in the field Of an in
dependent ticket with d. Clarence Glib
honey Of Philadelphia as it's head.
Upon the eve of the holding of the
Republican convention a meeting was
held under the auspices Of the Good
Citizenship league and the decision to
place an Independent ticket in the
field was the result Of the enthusiasm
with which the secretary OF the Law
and Order society of Philadelphia was
received. Gibboney announced his
willingness to accept the nomination.
What effect this threat will have no
body seems to know.
The Penrose slate is said to be as
follows:
Governor-Representative John x.
Tener Of Washington county.
Lieutenant Governor Former Repre-
sentative John M. Reynolds Of Bed
ford.
Secretary of Internal Affairs Henry
Houck OF Lebanon.
