SULLIVAN men
ARE SEATED BY
THE COMMITTEE
Hearst Harrison Faction
Loses Fight for Illinois
Delegation; the Contests
Cause Adjournment.

Baltimore, Md, June 20 The
twenty Roger G. Sullivan delegates
from the ten contested districts In
Cook county were seated this after
noon by the credentials committee by
q vote Of 40 to 10. A minority report
will be presented to the convention.
Those who voted against the Sulli-
van faction were: Little, Arizona,
Creswell, California; Miller, Nebras-
ka; Carney, Nevada; Kelley, North
Dakota; Nose, Oregon; Young. Ken
tucky; Mccormick, Pennsylvania
Whitmore, Utah; Molina, Porto Rico.
Mayor Carter Harrison Of Chicago
and Roger Sullivan, national commit
teeman from Illinois, indulged In
counter charges before the credentials
committee early this afternoon, over
the police control exercised at the
Cook county democratic convention.
Mayor Harrison said that he had de-
tailed 285 policemen and twenty-five
plain clothes men to preserve order,
while Mr.. Sullivan charged him with
having planned to control the conven-
tion.
A motion to seat the Sullivan men
in the seventeenth and twentieth I'LL
nois districts carried 3S to 13.
The sixteen Sullivan delegates at
large from Illinois having eight votes
in the convention were seated by q
vote Of AZ to 9.
The committee at 11:50 o'clock de-
termined to ask the convention to ad-
journ until 8 o'clock tonight owing to
the inability of the committee to COM
plete work on the contest cases. Ar
guments in the Illinois cases had not
been concluded at that time.
The credentials committee held its
session behind closed doors. Each side
in the Illinois contests was given forty
five minutes for the presentation OF
its arguments. The contestants In the
case were the Harrison-Hearst dele
gates who claimed to have secured an
actual majority of votes over the Sui
livan delegates, who had been seated
by the national committee.
e. e. Britton assisted IN presenting
the credentials of the Hearst-Harri-
son faction in the contests involving
the eight delegates at large and the
twenty delegates from the Chicago dis
tricts. Frank J. Quinn and Eliza Will
liams appeared for the Sullivan fac
ton asserting that the contesting fac
ton, by ignoring the regular state con-
vention, has lost any claims 1t might
have to regularity.
Hearst Men In Bitter Fight.
y A bitter fight was made by the ILL.,
nois contestants on the rule of Roger
C.. Sullivan as national committeeman
from that state. The Hearst-Harrison
faction claimed to have carried ma
jority of the precincts in Chicago and
to have controlled the Cook county
convention They charged the Sullivan
men had bolted that convention, but
that when the case of the Hearst-Har-
rison delegates was presented to the
credentials committee Of the Peoria
convention, the Sullivan faction was
in control and refused them seats and
the contesting forces found 1t useless
to go into the convention next day and
renew their fight.

BRYANMENMAY
GO TO WILSON,
LEAVING CLARK
Events Following Lineup on
Temporary Craftsmanship
Vote Indicate This: Wade
Loses the Craftsmanship.
IBY ELISHA HANSON1

Baltimore, Md, June 26.-Indica-
tions are that all the progressive dele
cations under Bryans control will
jump to Wilson after the first ballot.
When Congressman Clayton Of Ala,
bama, said, II do not know upon whom
the nomination of this convention will
fall" a Nebraska delegate instructed
for Clark yelled, Woodrow Wilson. I"
A tumult followed with the hall re-
sounding with Wilson's name. A new
Jersey banner went up in the air and
the cheering lasted close to twenty
minutes, delegates. spectators and
supporters going wild.
Representative Towner, standpat re-
publican from the eighth Iowa district,
Is in the midst of the cheering Wilson
men yelling with the rest.
Wade Loses Craftsmanship.
Judge Wade will not be temporary
chairman. He retired from the race
last night in favor Of Theodore Bell of
California, who was backed by Har-
mons people as we'll as Clarks. Bryan
eliminted Bell because OF his speech
yesterday. In an effort to win Bryan
to Clark, Ollie James was offered. II
James does not suit Bryan, Parker will
run the convention as permanent
chairman.
In the event of the speakers nom
ination Wade may be named chairman
of the national committee, at Clark's
request, and thus he would have
charge of the direction Of the cam
paign this year.
In 1908 the Iowa committeeman was
in charge of the western headquarters
at Chicago, and had practical charge Of
the entire campaign as 1t was man
aged almost wholly from there.
The credentials committee will not
report until s. o'clock tonight. Every
minute Of delay endangers Clark's
chances of winning on the first or
second ballot. If Clark fails some
dark horse will be named although
the big folks are now flirting with
Wilson.
All of the Iowa visitors are we'll and
enjoying themselves hugely.
The Iowa delegation is without ques-
ton the jolliest in Baltimore. There
are twenty-one ladies in the party,
wives of delegates, alternates and visi-
tors, and the whole parlor floor Of the
resembles reception room
at a cotillion more than bee hive
of politics.
Among the most enthusiastic Is Mrs.
N. F. Reed Of Ottumwa, wife of the
state chairman of Iowa. Mrs. Reed
lost her husband early. Monday as he
had some important business with
the national committee and then she
led the Iowans on sight seeing trip

Because of her enthusiasm she was
asked by a reporter if she intended
to march in the suffrage parade on
Thursday. mo indeed" replied Mrs.
Reed, II believe the men can take care
of the politics.
You're not suffragette then?" her
inquisitor asked.
"I am suffering yet but not a suf-
fragette," she replied quickly and the
scribe looked further in the delega-
ton for marchers. He found none OF
them. All of the ladies are intensely

TNHAT baseball can make real
fortunes for owners of major
league clubs has been dem
onstrated time and again. That it
can do almost as well for ball play
ers is about to be proven by Rube
Marquard, this years sensation in
pitching way. Ability and appli-
cation are requisites when it comes
to making money. but the combi-
nation possessed by Rube-ability
and luck-is the happiest.
That Vanguard has ability few
can doubt after his feat in winning
nineteen straight victories. No one
outside of New York will admit
that he is the best of the games
left-handers. The general opinion
is that the other famous southpaw.
Rube Waddell. in his best days.
outclassed the New Yorker in me-
chanical effectiveness. and that
Rucker, Plank, White and Sallee
have been or are just as good as
McGraW's RUDE. But the general
public overIooks the fact that sew
eral of Marquard's triumphs were
fiukey, that he has been hit hard
and that his shut out victories have
been scarce. And the general pub
lie is what counts in a money
sense.
Lucky To Be With Giants.
Rube is lucky in that he is pitch
ing for New York instead of Bos-
ton, st. Louis or Brooklyn. He is
lucky to be with winner with a
team of heavy hitters, which makes.
victories easy for him. Nothing but
the Giants downfall in the race for
the pennant can prevent Mar
guards making more money than
ever was accumulated before in a
single year by a ball player. If
the Giants repeat and then capture
the worlds championship. so much
the better. But if they only sue
coed in getting the National league
flag and if Marquard can pitch one
good game in the big series his for
tune is made.
In the first place. there is his
salary. Because of the fact that
he was of very little use to the
Giants for three years, the chances
are that his annual stipend is not
more than $4,000, if it is that much.
But there will be a bonus this year
for him amounting to at least
$1,000. Then, New York sporting
men have promised to reward him
for his great work, and it is safe
to say he will be. presented with at
least another $4,000 by them. In
addition, he will be given an au-
tomobile. whether he is chosen as
the Nationals most valuable man
or not. If the sporting writer's do
not elect him his friends will. The
worlds series split will net him
either $4,000 or $500. depending on
the Giants success or failure.

N Having added materially to
the pitching and batting
strength Of the Volunteers by the
addition OF Pitcher Jimmy West,

balanced machine During the re-
mainder of the season the Nolun
teers can be expected to give a
good account of themselves with
every team in the circuit in their
fight to land in the upper -four.

leading teams Of the league, are
the only ones the local fans con-
slider out of Nashville's reach.
Following Vests three hit game

day ii was demonstrated that

pitcher to depend on for the rest of

sations of the league last season.

that he will not return In 1918

speed and head which is not
enough to pull him through a win
