 Immediately the report spread that MT. Bryan had threatened the or ganization of a third party. This came on top of the conference between Bry- an and Senator LaFolette late yes terday and was given credence in some quarters. Mir. Bryan, howev- CT laid emphasis upca the fact that it was the democrats to whom he would carry his appeal and the third party talk died away for the time being.
 MT. Bryon's first fight came with the calling of Alabama on the roll of states. A vacancy from Alabama had been filled by the democratic state committee. Mr. Bryan moved that the selection be con- firmed. National Committeeman Brown of Vermont made the point of order that no such action was nee essary; that under the rules laid down by the last national convention the national committee had no right to go back of the state committees choice.
 Committee leaders had pleaded with Mir Bryan during the morning not to make an issue of the Guffey matter at this time; that Colonel Gulf fey clearly had a majority of the com mittee in his favor and that the fight would result in nothing. Mir. Bryan would not listen to this suggestion. Chairman Mack, Thomas Taggart, John T. MeGraw, Roger Sullivan and several others then Iheld hurried con- sultation and agreed upon the pro- gram which meant defeat to the Ne braslsan.
 Chairman Mack sustained the point of order and MT. Bryan at once ap- pealed from the decision of the chair He saw in this ruling the defeat Of the protest against Colonel Guffey. Mir. Bryan seemed to realize from the first that he was beaten hut he went nto the fray undaunted. MT. Mack was sustained ss to lS. The vote by states was as follows
