He Has Two of the Four Dele gates to the Congressional
 Convention.

Bedding, Sept 7.-Of the congress sional delegates chosen at the Demo- fcractic caucus last Saturday evening two are favorable to the candidacy of ex-Senator L. E. Peck. while the other two have yet to make known their at titude, although the impression pre- Vails that they will also range them selves with his supporters. Showing no traces of his recent illness MT. Peck was present at the caucus He had not lifted a finger to secure a delegation in his own interest and probably not half of those in atten- dance knew that he was in the field for the congressional nomination. Three of the four congressional dele gates named were not in attendance The other delegations were also nam ed without particular reference to the interest of any individual and so far the state and senatorial contingents have no we'll defined choice to can didates, apart from the U. S. senator ship. For this office the Bedding four favor Homer S. Cummings. These are the delegates chosen: :State-L c.
