postponed and that there will be
adual disintegration of the Arranged
ooh hosts within the Keystone Com
Inonwealth. State Chairman A. NeviT
Detrich said yesterday that he die
TOT know when the committee would
pe called and was engaged in a very
apparent effort to get a line on the
inner thoughts of the delegates and
sIternates and boosters of the party
from this State. With exception OF
a Few radicals the sentiment of the
Pepnsylvanians who attended the
convention and who voice the party
sentiment was that there should be
nothing done until the National COM
mittee decides whether the Colonel
Should stick.
The general belief among the
Tennsylvanians at Chicago is that the
Colonel will line up with Hughes
when satisfied on some points" In
that event they will go along, while
the radicals will go off by themselves
ana continue the party of protest on
an orbit that will probably be like
that of the Greenback and Populist
parties of recent erratic memory. The
puik of the Bull Moosers will go
quietly along with the ticket.
.-Penrose men are thoroughly
kpIeased over the results of the con-
Nontion and declare that notwith-
standing what may be said to the
contrary the Senator was a. big fac
ter In the nomination of Hughes.
Iney claim that the Brumbaugh- Ware
people did not scent what was going
on and that by the Governors urging
o. delegates to turn in for Roosevelt
ne made an error. Congressman
ware, however, says that he was the
Iactor in getting the Keystone votes
lor Hughes. AS a matter ~of fact
Governor Brumbaugh did not leave
ROOSEVELT until just before the third
ballot although he had been asked by
Frank H. Hitchcock to swing in
The Pennsylvanians are taking
great credit for the part they played
IN the Fairbanks nomination and Mr.
Wanamaker received many kilograms
or Saturday at Chicago
Many people will regret that the
serious illness of Jere S. Black, the
York Democrat, will prevent him from
attending the national convention at
St Louis. He was the leader in the
Democratic vote and a very popular
man.
Loudly heralded as the special
OIL the reunited Democracy the train
bearing the Keystone State party to
the st. Louis convention passed over
the Western State line last night with
the Pittsburgh contingent on board.
\. Mitchell Palmer appeared to be
the whole thing, leader. chairman of
this and that subcommittee, conduc-
tor, baggage master and other things.
The special was Joined here by Dele
gates w. l.. Gorgas and f. M. Biddle,
Jr., Henry Opperman and O. j. Bogen
Men from central counties also mobil-
lied here and boarded the train. Every
now and then the train would stop to
allow a statement about a reunited
party to be put off. The Democrats
are making much fuss over the dele
cation to st. Louis and hope for bet
ter things than happened at Balti-
more.
The Republican special passed
through here yesterday with the
Philadelphians' cars and several men
from this section left 1t here. The
Republicans spent some time in Pitts
burgh yesterday and a couple of them
missed the train.
One of the jokes on the Republi-
can special train was the discovery
that some of the men who sat in the
chicago convention had received votes
lcr delegates on the Prohibition
ticket This was notably true of the
Berks-Lehigh district.
Louis Emery, Jr, the Mexican
county independent, was the big sub
scriber to the Progressive war chest
on Saturday before the news came
that the Colonel was undecided He
gaNe $4,000 and William Finn Of
fered $4,000 as did Clifford Pinchot.
II. d. w. English gave $1,000. After
the convention ended the Pennsyl-
vanians were game and said the sub
sCriptions would stand. Mr.. English
was indignant that the Republicans
did not take Roosevelt
Alexander p. Moore, the Pitts
burgh editor who moved to make the
Hughes nomination unanimous. voted
fol the Colonel to the last ditch. So
did Charles l.. Brown, Philadelphia
ambassador to Italy. Mr.. Browns
vote was especially irritating to some
of the Brumbaugh people who had
claimed Roosevelt as their own.
&C. Fl, Rowland, Clearfield Con-
gresham and A. H. Gaffney, Kane
delegate, were the official entertainers
of the Keystone delegation at Chi
cago and gave several fine dinners.
Mr.. Emery was the chief dinner giver
to the Progressives from this State.
one evening having a party of 100
which was a lavish entertainment.
The vote for Burkett for Vice
President given on Saturday in the
Coliseum was cast by Harry K.
Daugherty, of Mercer former
legislator. He is a personal friend
of the Nebraskan. Governor Brum-
baugh would have liked to have had
his old school friend, Governor Frank
b. Willis, of Ohio, nominated for
Vice-President, but when he saw the
drift to Fairbanks he Joined the
crowd.
Among the suffragists who were
liz Chicago most of the week watch
ing the treatment of the suffrage
planks were Miss Hannah ]. Patter-
son. Mrs. Frank NJ. Roessing, Mrs. ].
d. Miller, Pittsburgh; Mrs. George B.
Orlady. of Huntingdon, and Mrs.
Downing of Philadelphia. Ex-Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth Robert Nc
Afee and George E. Tenner of Pitts
burgh, were also there for the con-
vcntion sessions. Pennsylvania papers
regard the platform adopted as one
of the strongest in years and claim
that it will not only meet all desires
of radicals, but that 1t places the
Democrats squarely before the nation
on the issues. Senator George II.
Oliver of Pittsburgh. was the Penn
sylvania member. The Pennsylvania
delegation was not strong on standing
on chairs and yelling. It's members
were mainly subtantial business, pro-
fessional men and officials. The man
nor. in which the delegation set
through the cheering storms impressed
a good many people.
