essary ITO legislation for the Navy De-
partment during the next fiscal year.

reaction followed and Secretary Meyer
by the advice Of his physicians turned
over the conduct Of the department to
Assistant Secretary Winthrop and left
Washington for his summer home al
Hamilton.
The Secretary while travelling in
Europe last year suffered from
ptomaine poisoning. He apparently
recovered from that ailment. but his

can resume his duties at the Navy De-
partment.

HEAR CONTESTS ON MONDAY
National Committee Sets Day for
Considering Pleas of Rival Dele
gations-One Reduced
by Death.

BALTIMORE, June 22-Wflliam +
Bryan will make the fight against the
naming OF Judge Alton b. Parker of New
York as temporary chairman of the DEM
ocratic national convention, regardless OF
the attitude taken by the five candidates
FOR presidential nomination to whom Mr.
Bryan sent a telegraphic note asking
item to join with him in opposing Mr..
Parker. That statement was emphatical-
ly made today by Dr. P. L. Hail. national
committeeman from Mr. Bryan's home
state, who has been keeping Mr. Bryan
informed of the progress of events here.
Committeeman Hall said the. issue over
Judge Parker was more clearly defined
than ever and that the fight had to come.
The replies Of the candidates so far
made" said DR.. Hall. clearly indicate
that they do not care to take sides, but
that will make no difference to Mr. Bry-
an. He will never let up in his fight, and
1t Will be carried to the convention floor /"
May Be Quickly Settled.
DR.. Hall said that the fight against
Judge Parker on the convention floor
might be very close as many delegates
would subvert the issue Of progressivism
and vote for the choice Of the arrange
ment committee that the matter might
be quickly settled, hoping to prevent any
party breaks.
Those national committeeman aligned
with Judge Parker analyzed the replies
Of the candidates to Mr.. Bryan's note,
and declared that the Nebraska leader
would find little comfort in them. and
that he would be compelled to make the
fight with only those delegates who join
ed with him.
Some Of the leaders hoped that Mr.
Bryan could be persuaded to withdraw
from the fight and abide by the decision
of the committee in the interest Of party
harmony.
Ready to Hear Contests.
Plans for the hearing Monday by the
national committee of rival delegations
for seats in the convention were COM
pleted today by members of the COM
mittee.

CHAPLIN BROWN TO GET
PLACE ON COMMITTEE
All That Remains Is Indorse-
ment by the Con-
venti0n.
Special From a stanr CORRESPONDENT.

Special From a STAFF Correspondent.
COLISEUM, CHICAGO, June 22-All
the papers making Chaplin Brown repub-
ucan national committeeman for the Dis
trict have been signed, and unless there
is an unforeseen upset he will be form
ally installed before the national con-
vention adjourns.
There have been all sorts Of rumors
about deadlock in the delegation. Sec
retary H1lles stated this morning that
he had suggested no name and had
raised no objection to Mr.. Brown. In
Mr.. Brown on the supposition that he
Name Placed on File.
All that remains to be done is for Cal
win Chase, as chairman of the District
delegation. to rise in his place on the
floor Of the convention and formally pre-
sent the name of Mr.. Brown. 1t has al
ready been placed on file with the secre-
tary of the convention.
When Aaron Bradshaw was asked about
the situation today he replied that he had
signed the official blank naming MIR.
Brown to succeed Sidney Bieber in the
councils of the republican party
No one was authorized to state that
/ am advocating DR.. Johnson" he added.
The disposition of the contest against
the seating of Bradshaw and Chase as
permanent members of the convention
took but minute before the credentials
committee last night.
AS the national committee voted unani-
mously after a hearing to put Bradshaw
and Chase on the convention roll. It was
moved in the credentials committee that
they be put on the permanent roll of the
convention
No Protest Is Made.
There was no protest against that
course. Mr.. Bieber. one Of the contest
ing delegates, was In the anteroom. but
was not heard.
Chaplin Brown was drafted into serv-
ice to prepare the committees report
on the District contest It was brief,
holding the Bradshaw and Chase cleo
tion legal.
When it was up for adoption every
one of those thousands in the hall
seemed to vote both AYE and "NO -
but Chairman Root declared the Ayes"
had 1t.
Two Votes for District.
An effort to increase the Districts rep
resentation in republican national con-
yentions from two to six has proven in
vain. Galen L. TAFT Of Bethesda, dele
gate from the sixth Maryland district
proposed In the rules committee that the
District should be put on a par with
Hawaii and have six votes, and it was
pointed out that the democrats have al
lowed the National Capital six delegates
In their national gatherings.
The Roosevelt members of the COM
mittee supported the Taft proposal
but the Taft majority put their foot
down hard, and the District must
struggle along with two votes. There
Is solace In the prediction that before
another four years roll around a gen.
eral, nationwide presidential priuery
will be in effect, and there will be no
more Of the picturesque gatherings Of
the clans from all sections. J. B. &
