plans.
There is dissatisfaction among the New
York men over the way Bryan has been
allowed to attack Tammany and the New
York delegation without being answered
IN the floor Of the convention.
Murphy was asked TO allow Congress-
man Martin W. Littleton to replyto Bryan
a job which Congressman Littleton wanted
TO tackle. But Murphy would not con-
sent. This has angered some Of the New
York delegates. They feel that they have
heen put in an unpleasant position and
many Of them wanted Littleton. whom
they consider capable Of standing up
hefore Bryan, to talk back and convince
the convention that the New York dele
CATION did not deserve any part of what
Bryan has said of it,
II was also suggested that Alfred F.
smith. majority leader of the Assembly,
who is Tammany man. should take the
platform and explain. without any refer
ence to Bryan. that the record Of the
New York delegation is not reactionary
hut as progressive as that Of many other
States. The plan was to point out that
the Democratic party in New York had
elected a United States Senator after
sixteen years, that it had Democratic
Governor. that it had favored an income
tax and that it was for the direct nomina-
tion Of United States Senators.
The suggestion was to have Assembly
man Smith outline what the New York
Democrats had done without attacking
Bryan and leave it To the convention
TO decide If New York should get such
treatment from Bryan, Murphy vetoed
this plan too
There are New York delegates who feel
that Murphy made mistake in rejecting
either proposition. In addition to hearing
complaints on this score Murphy has been
told that he should not disregard the
sentiment for Wilson. Many upstate
Democrats have told him that the State
ticket and local tickets will be helped

While there have been MANY confer
ences among members OF the New York
delegation there had been only one actual
caucus up 10 to-day This was Just be-
fore the session at which balloting began.
The details Of that caucus and of the atti-

of the delegation
The four delegates at large are Gov
Dix, Senator O'Gorman. Alton B. Parker
and Charles i. Murphy. Gov Dix. who
was the first delegate TO be called on the
list, expressed the hope that
Gov. Judson B. Harmon OF Ohio would
get New fork's no votes. Gov. Dix said
he considered Gov. Harmon as the hest
possible nominee; that he would carry
New York as well as Ohio beyond doubt
There was a strong Harmon feeling in
the delegation and Gov. Dix's speech was
heard with attention.
Senator OGorrnan made n hot sreech
for Woodrow Wilson. Senator O'Gornan
insisted that if there was a man who
could win it was the New Jersey Cover
nor. Senator OGiorrnan said that if New
York wanted to carry its State ticket
Woodrow Wilson was the man to noni- |
nate. He predicted that il Gov. Harmon

rarry his own State and surely could not
