CHARGES DEMOCRATS
WITH INTERFERENCE
Attorney General Declares De-
partment is Handicapped BY
Work of Congressman.

Charging that the Democrats are de-
liberately trying to hamper the prose-
cution of trusts by eliminating some
Of the great legal experts from the
Government service. Attorney General
Wickersham yesterday sent a state
ment to Congressman Mann, Republican
leader in the House, asking him to
block the legislation which will. he says
dismiss every attorney serving his de-
partment as special counsel in anti
trust suits who has held office under
the Government in any prior capacity.
This bill demonstrates the purpose
Of the Democrats to paralyze the ef-
forts of this Republican Administration
in the prosecution of trusts under the
Sherman law" says the Attorney Gen
eral. The specific protest is against the
amendment offered by Congressman
Beall and placed in the sundry civil
appropriation bill last Saturday. This
amendment would prohibit the use OF
any part OF the trust busting" ap-
propriation for payment to any lawyer
who holds another office under the
Government or who, within two years
preceding his appointment, has held an
other Government office.

The road at Contee is being repaired

the detour in order to avoid the danger
of losing the main road after making

GAYNOR BOOMERS
HIGHLY JUB|LANT
OVER RECEPTION
Jacob A. Cantor, Mayors
Lieutenant, Sees Chance
to Win.

BALTIMORE. June 19.-Highly elated
at the reception the Gaynor Presidential
boom had received in Baltimore. Jacob
A. Cantor. former borough president.
returned yesterday to New York to ar
range for the special trains that will
TAKE the Gaynor boosters to Baltimore
next Monday.
From present Indications, Cantor said.
there will be a deadlock in the national
convention, and re expressed confidence
that delegates instructed for other can
didates will turn to New York's may or
as the most available compromise can
didate.
In presenting the name OF Mayor
Gaynor." Mr.. Cantor said. I'VE find that
we have not aroused the animosity Of
anv of the other candidates. No effort
will be made to win over instructed
delegates, but we are confident that
the convention will finally turn to
Mayor Gaynor when 1t Is seen that no
other candidate has a sufficient number
of votes to be nominated"
When Mr.. Cantor was asked about the
reported coalition between Charles F.
Murphy, Roger Sullivan. of Illinois, and
Tom Taggart Of Indiana, to throw the
1TS votes of those three States to Cay
nor after the first few ballots, he said
he could not confirm the report, but
such a combination would go a long
way toward nominating the mayor. Mr..
Cantor did not visit the city hall. He
was busy distributing Gaynor campaign
buttons.
The man who will place the mayors
name before the convention, Mr. Canor
said, will be selected at the caucus OF
the New York delegates next Monday
night in Baltimore.
Charles +. Murphy came in from Good
Ground yesterday. but he refused to
comment on the Gaynor boom. He
said here was no truth in the report
that he had entered into the coalition
with Sullivan and Taggart.
I'VE can't tell what the convention
will do."'h said.
Three New York men-Senator James
A. O'Gorman. Alton B. Parker, and
Congressman Sulser-are being consid-
cred for the temporary Craftsmanship of

BRYAN, JOURNALIST,
ST|RS INTEREST Of
DEMOCRATIC CHIEFS
Much Comment Over His
Expressed Opposition to
Unit Rule.

BALTIMORE. June 1s-Bryan's 8
journalistic work is attracting much
attention in some quarters here
abouts. particularly when Mack. Tag
gart. and the rest get together. They
have read with considerable interest
his dispatches from Chicago. printed in
The Washington Times, particularly
the one in which he took a positnon
opposed to the enforcement of the unit
rule.
That rule, by which all the delegates
of State cast their votes as a unit.
is the cause Of much bitterness at pres
snt between the Wilson and Harmon
forces in Ohio, and Bryan's attitude
may bring on a conflict either in the
committee or in the convention itself.
The unit rule has been a long g-standing
feature of Democratic national conven-
tons. and 1t was said tonight that Mr..
Bryan would have his hands full II he
sought to upset 1t at the coming con-
vention.
Nor do the big men of the national
committee relish the idea Of Bryan re-
porting the progress of the Baltimore
convention as he Is reporting that at
chicago. His viewpoint, II Is contend
ed, would in the very nature of things
DC ana as tneFe l6 q great
deal of fear that Mr.. Bryan may yet
be candidate himself for the Presi-
Dental nomination, 1t is considered
rather unclubby for him to have such
an excuse to be at the convention when
all the other candidates will studiously
keep away:
From all these things it may be gath
cred that the spirit of harmony is
rather surface indication ana does
not go very deep in the councils of the
purity as assembled here today. Every
body is asking everybody else how
many ballots the convention will take.
and everybody else agrees that 1t will
be al least four or five, and that after
the third there will not be a delega-
tion that will not feel itself freed from
the duty Of obeying any instructions 1t
may have received at home.
Champ Clarks supporters claim 457
votes for him In the fret ballot. Wood
row Wilson's adherents think their ma 4
will get possibly 100 less. Harmon and
Underwood can figure Zach on less than
TO, and the same applies to any other
candidate. Granting that after the
third ballot Instructions are thrown to
the wind. a free-for-all fght will en-
sue in which the best political prophets
agree Clark stands the worst chance.
)Iis highest vote 1t Is believed, will be
On tho first ballot.
Wilson has She most straketical pAi-
tion under such circumstances, mis-
managers declare. because his delegates
are, for the most part, personally in
favor Of Wilson, and not merely acting
under instructions.

BRYAN'S OPINION
OF PARKER SOUGHT
He May Be Temporary Chairman
If Nebraskan is
Agreeable.

BALTIMORE, June 1s.-The first &C
tual indication of the power which Will
liam ]. Bryan will have in the Demo
cratic convention came yesterday. when
an effort was made to get from Chicago
some advices as to how he regarded
the selection of Judge Alton B. Parker,
Of New York. for temporary chairman.
1t Is understood that the members of
the committee on arrangements VINO are
already in Baltimore are inclined to
Parker. but do not desire to give Bryan
an opportunity to fght them on the
start II he should determine to oppose
Parker. For that reason some of them
want TO know how Bryan feels. II Par
ker is satisfactory to Bryan the New
Yorker will be named on Thursday.
The disposition of the committee is to
give the appointment to New York,
which is a large State with an unin-
structed delegation, and regarded as neu-
tral territory. Senator O'Gorman OF
New York, was the first choice of tho
committee.
Friends Of O'Gorman are willing that
he lose the appointment as temporary
chairman If he can get the chairman
ship of the committee on resolutions.
which will draft the platform.
II It is found that Bryan is antagon-
istic to Parker, II is probable that the
committee on arrangements will switch
to another New York man. In this con-
nection the name Of Congressman SulZer
of New York, was mentioned yesterday.
Thomas F. Ryan. the financier, Is ex-
pected to arrive in Baltimore tomorrow
and will urge the claims of Mr.. Parker.
This is the frst time Mr. Ryan has ap-
peared openly in the political arena
since the 81. Louis convention OF 1904.
which nominated Judge Parker.

up and disposed of at once.
AS decided on by the conference here
yesterday. Judge Alton B. Parker, Of
New York, will probably be ratified for

are p. L. Hall, of Nebraska; r. M. john

pected to reach Baltimore before to-
night.

morning under William E. McCombs.
