WHAT WILL BRYAN GET?

A correspondent :of the New York
Sun, who hints that he Is IN the con-
f1dence of William McCombs, the demo-
cratic national chairman, throws cold
water on the proposition that Bryan Is
E.. tiled to any consideration from the
Wilson administration for anything
that transpired at the Baltimore con-
vention. He declares that at no time
during the convention did Bryan speak
an affirmative word for Wilson, but
that on the contrary he made state
ment forty-eight hours before the
nomination was made suggesting sew
eral compromise candidates. Continu-
ing the Sun correspondent says:
When Bryan issued his statement
calling for compromise candidate on
that Sunday night there was not a
notable. democrat at Baltimore who
did not declare the evident purpose OF
the statement to be an effort toward
a continuance of the wrangles and dis
putes over the nomination that might
end in his own nomination. Members
Of Bryan's family openly declared that
he was candidate for the nomination,
and were bitterly disappointed at Will
sons nomination.
1t is true that Speaker Clark's nomi-
nation was prevented by the attacks
Of Bryan on Clark and Clark's friends.
But Bryan could only destroy. he
could not construct, and Wilson's noml-
nation was brought about by the votes
of his own followers in addition to the
adherents of Speaker Clark, who
found that Clarks strength was melt
ing away under the Bryan attack. Those
Clark men were perfectly aware that
Bryan desired the nomination himself,
but rather than continue the struggle,
as suggested in Bryan's call for
compromise candidate, Immediately
after reading that statement In the
newspapers on the morning Of July 1
they began to flock over In the con-
vention to the Wilson cause. This was
notably true of the Illinois delegation.
The Indiana delegation, perfectly
aware of Bryan's designs, had previous
ly turned to Wilson.
The meeting of Bryan's call for q
compromise candidate was understood
by all as the last effort on his part
to seize the nomination. am violat-
ing no confidence when l state that
MT. MCCOWDS, IOVcTuOl w AoOh p i.I>
ager. at Baltimore, and later on Gov
ernor Wilson, understood the full
meaning of Bryan's tactics, and II l
am not greatly mistaken they inter-
preted these tactics to be inlmical to
Wilson's cause and in behalf OF him
self.
It was reported widely some time
ago that Bryan had been called to
Bermuda for a conference with Mr..
Wilson. This was later denied. More
recently it has been given out that
when Mr.. Wilson ends his Bermuda va
cation he will confer with Mr.. Bryan,
but the explanation is made that this
is only one Of number of confer
ences the president-elect will hold with
democratic leaders. Meanwhile Mr..
Bryan's name Is mentioned for the
British ambassadorship, the secretary
Of stateship and the treasury portfolio.
The first problem on the bands of the
next president seems to be what to do
with Mr.. Bryan, and in settling this he
faces the probability of displeasing
either the Bryan or the anti-Bryan
faction of the party, no matter what
decision is made.

REFUSES TO CENSURE.
Central Labor Union Tables Resolu
ton Criticising Its Officials.

Giving vote of confidence to Milton
Snellings, president of the Central Labor
Union, and Patrick J. Ryan, delegate to
the convention Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. the Central Labor Union
at a meeting last night tabled the resolu-
tons alleging that Snellings and Ryan
had violated their obligations as members
of the local and national organized labor
movement, the charge being that they
had been active in the campaign to de-
feat Representative Victor Berger Of Mil
waukee, who it was claimed, is member
of organized labor.
Thomas Carroll, former president of the
International Mechanics Association,
criticised the two officials of the central
body placing a large part of the blame
for Representative Bergers defeat on
their shoulders.
Mr.. Snellngs and Mr.. Ryan contended
that Representative Berger was not a
union man, but socialist carrying the
American Federation of Labor, and that
they We're representing the national move
ment in their canvass against him. They
claimed further that the socialist repre-
sentative had gone out of his own dis
trict to campaign against Representative
Buchanan of Chicago, who is a memb er
of the Iron Workers Union.
Representa- tive Buchanan was present
at the meeting, but took no part in the
discussion.

Cubic Feet Of Mud in Eastern Branch

Having completed her contract for the
removal of more than million cubic
Yards of material from the Anacostia
river channels and for pumping it ashore
on the portion of the flats the govern
ment authorities desire tn reclaim the
hydraulic dredge Dewey is lying
in the mouth of the Eastern branch being
made ready to be taken to Baltimore
All the pipe used in carrying the exca-
waited material ashore, the big cutter. the
mooring SpudS that held the machine IN
position while at work, and other para
phernalia that was used in the work Is
being loaded on a big lighter. Some OF
the pontoons used to carry the pipe line
from the machine TO the shore also are
being loaded on lighters, but most OF
them will be kept overheard and will be
towed down the Potomac and up Chesa-
peake bay to their destination.
Representatives of Sanford x BrookS,
the owners of the Dewey, We're in the city
recently Arranging to have the machine
and outfit towed away. and ii is expected
the fleet will leave here in the latter part
of this week. The Dewey started opera
tions early in last February under con-
tract to dig 90O.OOO cubic yards of ma
ferial from the channels, and as the work
progressed additional excavation was
ordered so that when the dredge finished
work last week she had dug more than
million cubic yards.
This, with the dredging previously done
by the dredge Pittsburgh, totals more
than 100000 cubic yards of mud that
has been taken from the AnacoStia chan
nels in the past two years. making the
channel much deeper and easier of navi-
ga alton. The completion of the Dewey S
work ends all dredging contracts in the
vicinity of this city, but new contracts,
It is stated. will be made during the WIN
