 was selected by the democratic nation al committee tonight for temporary chairman of the national convenSiou, which opens here tomorrow afternoon. His election came over the protests of 22 members of the committee styl- ing themselves the progressives in the party under the leadership of w ]. Bryan. Senator elect James gos 20 of these votes and Senator O'Gorman of New York 2.
 That Mir. Bryan will carry the fight for temporary chairman to the floor of the convention now seems ass5ai sisi. Efforts to come to an amicalble agree ment on this question failed soday when a committee appointed at the opening session of the national com mittee conferred with MT Bryan and others in an endeavor to prevent ss fight at the beginning. This com mistee, composed of Chairman Nor man E. Mack and Dr. F. l.. Hall, mem Der from Nebraska, reported at the meeting tonight that it's efforts had been unavailing, and almost immedia- tely the vote was taken.
 The debate over the temporary chairmanship was not prolonged Rep l Der. severely criticized Mir Bryan and said the Nebraslzan had assumed the role of dictator 10 the democratic party.
 T. for one" said Mir. Talbot. don't propose to submit to the dictation of this man, or any other man. Senator Newlands of Nevada, sitting in the committee with proxy, defend MI. ffss. Ax..4I that he did. not yield to the lictation of any one man, but that he did not regard MT Bryan as dictator, but as the representative Of progressive principles indorsed by the democratic party.
 When Urey Woodson, committee men from Kentucky, voted for Parker against James, he explained that Kentucky did not wish to place James name before the committee. He said that he had talked with Mir. James and had been assured he was not a candidate. in addition, he said, Ken lucky delegates had instructions that James name not be placed before the committee. Robert Ewing, committees man from Louisiana, a Wilson suppof+ ter placed James name before the committee.
 Edward C. Goltra of Missouri, Clark man, explained he voted for James because he was supporting Clark This taken by many to mean that the Bryan forces in the conven- ton would receive assistance from the Clark supporters when the fight against Parker is taken to the floor tomorrow.
 Chairman Mack called the adioiFn- ell session to order today and almost immediately the committee appointed 10 try to harmonize the Bryan and Parker factions, reported it's failure. Soon after the vote to decide whether the committee would uphold the sub committee selecting Judge Parker=ft1 temporary chairman was taken.
 The action of the committee is ex- pected to result in a bitter factional fight on the floor of the convention and struggle for supremacy between the Bryan democrats and so called conservatives that they may affect the presidential nomination.
