In both these cases, .ht ! Clark forces succeeded in seating their instructed delegates.
 Two minority reports were decides Il upon in the Illinois contest, where I the Roger c. Sullivan delegates were seated, 40 to 10 Harry T Creswe.l the California member, reserved the I right to present a minority report in
 favor of the Harrison Hearst faction. In the South Dakota contest P H.
 Matin of Wisconsin, asked all those
 voting for the losing Wilson delegates eo join him in q report that would Icarry the fight to the floor of the con vention. The vote was 2S 10 23 In the three -cornered District of l Columbia contest the uninstruoted delegation by Committeeman Newman which had been recognized by the national committee. was unseated, and the Costello delegation. instruct ed for Clark, was indorsed A vote on the three delegations resulted as follows: For Costello delegation, 22:: for Newman delegation, 12; for Darr delegation. 3.
 The credentials committee over turned the action of the national com mittee and gave the 10 seats from South Dakota to Clark delegates in the first actual test of strength be- tween the Wilson and anti-Wilson forces
 By vote of 2S to 2s the commit tee useated the 10 Wilson delegates, who had received the highest vote in the state primaries June 1 and gave the seats to the Clark delegation headed by Andrew E. Lee. This was one of two delegations that ran un fer the Clark banner, their combined vote exceeding that of the Wilson ticket. The overthrow of the Wilson dele gates who had been seated by the na tional committee came as a surprise
 to the Wilson forces. It was the l first case in which the national con mittee was reversed and the close
 vote, 2S to 23 gave the Clark forces
 but little to spare in their fight 10 seat their contesting delegates.
 The South Dakota case presented | three contesting tickets. one headed Wilson Bryan Progressive Democra- cy," another "Wilson-C Clark Bryan
 Democracy and third Clark for
 President"
 The Clark forces claimed the third
 ticket had been filed to divide their
 vote, but this was denied The dele
 gates are for Clark and 1t was claim
 ed that while they received about 400 i less votes than the Wilson ticket, the
 total vote cast for both Clark tickets exceeded that cast for the single Will son ticket The Clark delegates who
 were seated held certificates issued 1 under the jaw by the Democrat state chairman while the Wilson delegates later had been awarded certificates iby the state canvassing board.
