The realization that the work in
which they are engaged is some

OPPOSITION TO BRYAN.
Some of the National Com
mitteemen favoring Judge Par
ker were outspoken against the
opposition of Mr.. Bryan and de-
clared that if a question of
whether Mr.. Bryan was to con-
troll the convention or not was to
come it would be better decided
now than later.
National Committeeman Dan
iels, of North Carolina, urged his
fellow-committeemen this morn
ing that harmony must be main
tanned and conferred with his
associates in an endeavor to find
some way of bringing about a
solution of the temporary char
manship problem. Members of
the Arrangement Committee
called to name the temporary
officers of the convention are;

/ MAJORITY FAVOR PARKER.
All the members of the Com
mittee on Arrangements were
here except Mr.. Hall, OF Nebras-
ka. Noon was the hour fixed for
the meeting.
1t was authortatively stated at
10 a. m. that a majority of the
committee were for naming
Judge Parker for temporary
chairman, and that the commit
tee would go through with that
plan. Several of the committee
men said they thought that the
matter would be taken 20 the
convention floor. 1t was infOr-
mally proposed this morning, as
a possible solution of the ques-
ton, that Col. Bryan De named
permanent chairman.
: W. F. McCombs, leader of the
, Wilson forces, said that the Viii
, son people had no candidate for
temporary chairman and would
; abide by the committees selec-
ton.
1t was understood here to-day
that the Clark advocates would
, meet in Washington tomorrow
: to determine their course.
Charles F. Murphy, leader Of
Tammanv Hall, was expected
here tomorrow with Gov. Dix
following the day after and
Judge Parker was expected prob
ably on Monday.

man and Norman E. Mack, of
New York, chairman of the COM
mittee, will advocate the selec-
ton of Judge Alton B. Parker, in
defiance of Mr.. Bryan's threat to
fight Judge Parker on the con-
vention floor.
The Wilson mems attitude is at
this moment problematical. They
may decide to divide between
Judge Parker and James, or TO
present their OVID candidate, who
may be Representative Robert l..
Henry or Senator Culberson, of
Texas. There is no telling what
will happen, said National Com
mitteeman Wood, of Michigan at
II O'Clock a. m. 1--WE may fix
on a man who has not yet been
mentioned. Efforts are being
made to compromise, but thus
far without success.
Mr.. James is being backed
strongly by Speaker Champ
Clark's friends. His selection is
by no means unlikely. Mr.. Bry-
an would have no excuse to fight
if Mr.. James was named. There
was more talk this morning
among the conservatives, COM
mitteemen like Thomas Taggart,
of Indiana; Roger C. Sullivan, of
Illinois; Chairman Mack and
Clark Howell, of Georgia, of
giving Mr.. Bryan the fight he is
looking for. 1t is probable that
the full committee would sustain
the naming of Judge Parker for
temporary chairman, but it is by
no means certain that the con-
vention would do so if Mr.. Bryan
led a fight against the man from
Esopus.
