contest cases We're the first taken up
when credentials committee met today
in session behind locked and guarded
doors. Each side in the contests was
given 45 minutes for the presentation
of it's arguments. The contestants in
the case were the Harrison Hearst DEL

ed to the credentials committee by SEN
ator Rayner, of that state. The point
they had not formally presented their
contests to the Illinois state convention
at Peoria, but kept entirely out of the
convention. 1t was on this ground, it
was said officially, that the national
committee gave the seats to the Suli-
van faction
z. b. Toleman assisted in presenting
the arguments of the Hearst Harrison
faction in the contests involving the
eight delegates at iarge and the 20 DEL
egates from the Chicago districts.

peared for the Sullivan faction, assert
ing that the contesting faction by ig-
noring the regular state convention had
lost any claims it might have to regu-
larity

nois contestants on the rule of Roger
c. Sullivan, as national committeeman.
The Hearst-Harrson men claimed to
have carried a majority of Chicago
precincts and to have controlled the
Cook county convention. They charged
the Sullivan men had bolted that con-
vention but that when the case of the
Hearst Harrison delegates was pre-
sented to the credentials committee of
the Peoria convention. the Sullivan
faction was in control and refused
them seats and the contesting forces
found it useless to go into the conven-
ton next day and renew their fight.
