Time Came.
CASE
McCombs. Wilson's Manager,
Complimented on All Sides
for His Work.

BALTIMORE. July S.-This was getaway
day in Baltimore.
The hundreds OF Democrats who had
been held over by the deadlocked conven-
tion we're up bright and early this morn
ing, heading for the railroad stations.
All Of them we're mighty glad to start
for home. Some were broke. that is
| so far as their own resources were con-
cerned. but the managers Of some Of
the candidates had been generous in
supplying money for delegates who had
run short. 40 that everybody had the
wherewithall to see him home.
They were a mighty relieved lot Of
men. these Democratic delegates. For
three or four days they had cussed and
fumed under the restraints that were
holding them in Baltimore. and with the
whole thing over and satisfactory
! ticket named they were prepared 10
go back and start to work tor victory
in November
BY noon nearly every delegate had left
! town The only Democrats visible on
the horizon were members of the Nationa! !!
Committee who were sti held in Baltimore
because of their meeting scheduled for
this afternoon
The meeting Of the new committee
turned out to be as peaceful! and harmo-
NOUS as "a Sunday school class except
for one brief period when an attempt
was made to revive the Green-O Shau-
messy controversy over seat on the
National Commit ee This is Rhode
Island row

however. decided that the officers OF
the old committee should hold over until
the permanent offers are named. This
action was taken SO as to give Woodrow
Wilson and Thomas X. Marshall an OPP
portunity 10 express their wishes in re-
gard to the officers of the committee.
Asub ub-comnlittee of seven was appointed
to wait upon Gov. Wilson and Gov. Mar
shall and ascertain their wishes in regard
to this matter. Gov. Wilson will name
the new chairman OF the National Com
mittee to succeed Norman +. Mack.
There is no doubt here that William
+. McCombs, who managed the Governors
pre-convention campaign and steered
his boom to victory at Baltimore will
run the national campaign.
Tho entire new committee will visit
Sea Girt tomorrow and congratulate
Gov. Wilson on his nomination.
The Greene o 'Shaunessy row WAS hot
while il lasted. George S. Greene is the
nat ional committeeman from Rhode ISL
and George +, O'Shaunessy was his
opponent in the state primary.
| Following the election O'Shaunessy
charged that Greene had been chosen
through fraud. He filed the written
protest with the subcommittee of the
National Committee and his fight was
later carried to tho committee on credan-
tials Both of these bodies sustained
| Greene.
When the Temporary roll of the new
committee was being called to-day
o 'Shaunessy arose and protested against
the seating Of tirecne. Chairman Mack
hanging his gavel tierccly. said he saw
no good in reoJHning old scores. There
was n lot of pickering and Greene arose
and said that II there was any necessity
of rpoysning the case hc hoped II would
be done ut once.
Finally motion was made that
O'Shaunessy case he dismissed. II was
carried unanimously and the committee
departed with O'Shaunessy still protest =
