 There will be no compromise. A progressive will be named temporary chairman. Any progressive will be any suggestion made to me as to in- dlviduaIs who might fill the bill but l do not care who is chosen so long as he is a progressive"
 Bryan denied that he had received any suggestion from Lewis Nixon to substitute Senator OGorman of New York a4 the chairman.

 Justice Wright fixed Gompers' pun ishment at one year in jail and Mor- rison's at months in jail. They were admitted to $5,00O bail each pending appeal.
