 Defence of ceoiI Lyon.
 The crowd at this juncture began to call for Hadley.
 c. c. Littleton of Texas, a Taft del- egate and a brother of Representative Martin W, Littleton of New York, was introduced by Governor Hadley to say a word of defense for Cecil Lyon.
 Lyon has built up an organization, in Texas against which the gates of hell cannot prevail,'' he said as he con- cluded.
 A round of applause greeted James B. Watson, who concluded the argu- ment against the Hadley motion. From the gallery came a shout of 'Hooray for Sunny Jim!" Watson asked whether the delegates felt able to judge on the merits of all the cases involved in Hadley's mo- | tion. He pointed out that but few of | the contests had been discussed by the | speakers.
 Now, you are not in position to | judge the merits of these contro- versies," demanded Watson. 1 A roar of '.No!' came from tha Sale | gates.
 You are in no position, you are in no temper-if you will excuse my say | ing so-to judge these cases" | Watson was interrupted several l times and there were renewed calls | for Hadley.
