II he had the decision to make over
again. he would decline such influ-
ence. 1t had been the cause of much
doubt and some regret at the time.
The boss within him had protested
surely it was a political mistake-and
the boss was louder than the reform

ward with a brilliant scheme. He re-
called Baldwin's reference to the
rivalry between Nolan and Conway.
Underwood remembered that when he
suggested the possibility of Nolan's
running for the nomination himself,
Baldwin had shaken his head-there
wasn't enough in it, he said Nolan
could do very much better in the coun
ell, where he was. Besides, Mr.. Weed
and Mr. Peabody disliked hiIa.
Underwood thought out his schen. q

Ing up cases in point, while its results
are impressive and seem to smell of
the lamp, had in reality grown quite
automatic to Underwood, and as he
loafed over digests and reports and
jotted down his notes, he elaborated
the scheme, just what he would say
and do, how he would appear, and so
forth. And SO, when he entered Nal.

early that evening, he was fully pre-

came back just as the details of Bald

loon, the alderman himself leaning
over his bar, his white apron rolled
into big girth about his middle, the
cigar in the round hole at the corner
of his mouth gone out, denoting that
it was time for him to go down the
alley to Billy Boyle's and get his por-
terhouse and baked potato.
Underwood watched Malachi Nolan
mix his Martini cocktail, splash it pic
turesquely into a sparkling glass and
bejewel it with Maraschino cherry,
then gravely take cigar for himself
and stow it away in his ample waist
coat. Then, as Nolan mopped the bar
with professional sweep of his white
sleeved, muscular arm, Underwood I'M

in desperation, Underwood blurted out
his proposition. Nolan blinked some

management, in the most wonderful

problems, a district that has fewer

confines within its boundaries the sky

churches of a metropolis, still boasts
a police station with more arrests on

Night after night, with Nolan's two
candidates for the house, he spent In

was being thus laid naked to the
world. Reporters were writing it
down, perhaps the crowd would laugh
or whistle or hiss. Besides, candi-
dates do not remain in the convention
hall; they await the committee of noti-
| fication in some nearby saloon. He
squeezed through the mass of men
who stood on tiptoes, stretching their
necks to see and hear the old leader
of the First ward, and fed.
The first ballot was taken-Conway,
81; Underwood, 30; Simmons, the
dark horse, 8; necessary to choice,
| 80. The vote was unchanged for
| twenty-six ballots, till the afternoon
| had worn away, and the trucks had
| jolted off the cobblestones OF Clark
street, till the lights were flaring and
| hot-tamale men, gamblers, beggars,
street walkers, all the denizens of
darkness were shifting along the side
walks, till the policemen had been
changed on their beats, and PinkertOn
night watchmen were trying the doors
of stores, till Cinnamon shuff1ed forth,
and Jewesses and Italian women
emerged for their evening breath of
air, bringing swart and grimy children
to play upon the heated flags. The
hall was lighted, just as If some Ital-
ian festival were to be held there. The
reporters places at the table were
taken by the men who did politics for
the morning papers, themselves re-
duced at last to the necessity of TAX
Ing notes. They brought reports of
the results in other senatorial conven-
tons held about town that day-it
seemed to be assured that John Skel-
ley had carried the country towns,
Lemont. Riverside, Evanston and SO
on. In certain west side districts this
man had won, in certain north side
districts that man had been success
full It looked as if the old gang was
going to break back into the legisla-
ture.
And so the interest in this one re-
naming convention deepened, the
strain frightened, the crowd thickened.
Now and then the leaders made des-
perate attempts to trade, marrying
Simmons, offering him everything for
his seven votes. Simmons himself, in
his turn. tried to induce each faction
to swing its strength to him.
But the situation remained unchang

whispered to him. He thought ne

strength and the strength Of Conway.
He looked over the red faces before
him. He saw Conway himself NOV

cursing, quarreling with the friends Of
years; he saw Conway's candidate for
the house, McGlone, over in the Sec

that Nolan was to place his name be-

FINE HARNESS
 RACING TODAY
Keen Rivalry Between the Owners and Drivers of Horses Promises Excit- ing Events Round Fast Track of State Fair

The harness races opening this aft ernoon on the big track at the fair grounds promise some excellent racing. The 2:19 trOt, the 2:07 pace, the two year-old trOt, and the -year-old pace, to say nothing of the running races and cowboy sports promise some exciting times before the grand stand for the first days events at the state fair. The program for these races was finally arranged last evening.
 The rivalry between some of the horses in the harness events especially is very very keen and will furnish some good sport without question from the time that the drivers are sent away on the first heat by Starter McNair until they finish the final heat of the after noon and proceed to collect the col lateral for which the heats were sped. 2:19 Trot.

WAS STAGE FRIGHT
 RESPONSIBLE?
Afternoon Game Was Fast, Clean-cut, Hotly Contest ed-Morning Game Good, But Listless-First Trial Not Conclusive

A matter of a dozen pairs of eX- cellent batting eyes, encased in, the noodles of some fast ball players was responsible for double defeat, experienced by the Phoenix Solons a couple of times yesterday. Phoe- nix, however, possessed scarcely any batting eyes in the entire make up, though as for fielding, the persons who wore the light grey were not so poorly. Barngrover was slammed a dozen times in the morning and Hall ten times in the afternoon and Phoenix netted but nine hits in both games.
 Harry Cheek and Bill Cornett brought one fine bunch of neat-not to say natty ball suits. Inside them he had some of the fastest mind and muscle that has ever cavorted at Grant Park. But
 It was simply a brace of slugfests. The Los Angeles Sacramento Victor ia Cha attanooga- Cetera aggregation slowed Barney almost at will, and Hall when hits counted. Still, the big boy was good in several pinches. Two homers over left field fence marked the morning game. One was the product of a healthy swing by BaSSler, and the next was by GOOd- win, who followed Bassler. Bassler started a good batting collection in the morning when he hit four times out of three up. But in the after noon he got one safety out of four times at bat Wotell, the visitors lead off man took to himself a four sack drive in the afternoon when he lifted the ball over Primm's sign in deep centerfield.

RACE REPORTS WILL
 COME 10 FAIR FANS
By Direct Wire Installed By the Mountain States Company
 for That Purpose

In order that the public will not have to wait in suspense till the end of today and tomorrow, the Mountain States Telephone company has put in a special wire to the fair grounds where the results of the Los Angeles and Fl Paso-to Phoenix races will be received and announced to the grand stand enthusiasts.
 If there were no line to the grounds, those in the stand would have to wait till the evening when they came to town before they could learn of the results of the races, of the places of the racers at the con- trol at Yuma, and of the other and important facts concerning the two greatest track events in the history of automobile racing
 With the returns coming over the wires of the Mountain States com p&ny, the people at the grounds will be apprised of all the actions and operations of the machines. their drivers and their places. It will be Q matter of much convenience to the members of the commission and to the many who, if they were not to hear the results at the grounds would have stayed in the city where they might follow the racers more closely.
 The word of the race in California will come over the press wire to Yuma where it will be transferred to the wires of the Mountain States company, which was the only ar rangement possible since the Pacific States would not open up their lines to the plan. However, it matters little what the Pacific States does if the word comes to this place in time fer the fans and enthusiasts in the grandstand.
