SEA GIRT. July 1.-The New Jer-
sey candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination was seated
at luncheon with his family on the
veranda of his Sea Girt home at 1
o'clock this afternoon when news
paper men from the telegraph tent,
close by, rushed over with news of
the twenty-eighth ballot, showing a
transfer of twenty-nine Indiana votes
to the Wilson column. The meal was
interrupted for five minutes, while
the governors family expressed de-
light at the news.
isn't hat simply dandy?" asked
his daughter Margaret, jumping up
anad clapping her hands.
The Governor smiled in a very
pleased and declared it was
at least very satisfactory.
The Governor reiterated today that
he would not go to Baltimore, that
he did not regard the loyalty of his
following so much as a testimonial
to himself as a stand for principle.
From a Staff Correspondent.
SEA GIRT, July AFTER a quiet
day, divided between a peaceful
country church in M~anasquan and
the Tranquil at Mosphoc, of the State
Camp Grounds, as yet unoccupied by
soldiers, Governor Wilson said last
night that he was interested in argu-
ing causes. not in such errand as
Saturdays proposed trip to Balti-
more contemplated, and that the sole
means his managers at Baltimore
are employing now, in building UP a
bulwark to withstand today's on
slaught, is argument.
My predominant feeling about the
whole situation" he added, lis one
of pride that the men who are sup
porting me are doing SO because OF
an evident conviction that they are
standing for a principle. 1 should

loyalty to an Individual, deeply ae

1t is a privilege to be supported as
they are supporting me and to see
the support grow as if in response
to conviction and public sentiment"
Would Not Visit Convention.
Mr.. Wilson said that he had never
entertained for a moment the thought
of going to the convention, and that
1t would manifestly "be very nearly
an act of impertinence" on his part to
appear before the body to speak per-
sonally to the delegates interested in
him.
He said there had been a misun-
derstanding in Saturdays report and
that there had no time been a con-
certed action in Baltimore to bring
the trip about, although it had been
proposed and discussed over the hong
distance telephone.
you are not called much into con-
ference by your political managers
at the convention suggested one
of the correspondents.
Ne said the Governor, who am
I to counsel the management of such
veterans as Senator Gore and the
others, but in matters of principle, l
am consulted by Them
Using Argument Only, He Says.

managers had failed to arrange with
Charlie Murphy, of Tammany Hall.
for the votes of the New York dele
cation, the Governor stated his be-
lief in the improbability of any such
negotiation having been carried on.
"Of course. l do not know in de-
tail what my friends and supporters
are doing. but l am morally certain
that they are not making arrange
ments or attempting to come to an
agreement with anybody.
"I am certain they are doing nothing
that could not be done in view of
the whole country, and that their
only means of getting support is ar
gument. There cannot by any pos
sibility be any trading done in my
name. Not a single note can or will
be obtained by any promise"
