Mr. Marshall be named and MT. Nor genthau also stated that he had letter from MT. Schiff requesting that another | than MT. Marshall be put on the ticket. I Talk that Secretary Bakers name would I be presented caused a rush of delegates l to national committeeman to learn ii there had been any change in the plans 1 to rename MT. Marshall. The informa' | ton was quickly given that noses hao | been counted long ago." and that while ! one or two names other than Marshall s might be heard on the convention floor l the vote for him would be virtually unanimous.
 There will be no hitch in the plan tc rename the present democratic ticket, said MT. McCombs tonight. National Committeeman Norman E. Mack of New York also declared that the talk of up- setting the plan to rename MT. Marshall was silly and absurd"
 Just before departing from Washington for St. Louis, Secretary Baken announced he was for Marshall and that the men ton of his own name was merely "friend- ly enterprise" He is expected to stop all mention of his name when he reaches this city late tomorrow.
 Rooms for new vice presidential candidates still appeared hourly, the last one to come to notice tonight be- ing for Judge A. M. Jackson of Win field, Kan.
 The Nebraska delegation Is instruct ed for Governor Morehead for he vice presidency. but it was reported to- night that when Governor Morehead reaches St. Louis tomorrow that he will agree to renounce his candidacy con- ditioned upon the withdrawal of the candidacy of Roger Sullivan of Illinois.

Bryan is expected here late tonight or tomorrow when Senator Ollie James, President Wilson's choice for perma- nent chairman, Secretary of War Ba- ker and other notable political leaders are due to arrive.
 Senator Stone, who is to be the chair man of the committee on resolutions, is- sued a statement today which charac- terized the nomination of Justice Hughes by the republican party as bad and vi- cious It was a dangerous experiment, he declared, for great political party, hard pressed, to invade the supreme court and take down from the bench one of it's justices to make him candidate for a political office to meet and serve a party exigency. Senator Stone in his state ment said:
 "I am inclined to the opinion that it would be wise to so amend the constitu- tion of the United States as to make a justice of the supreme court ineligible to any political office while a member of that court or for a period of five years following his retirement there from"
 Senator Stones pronouncement was generally taken to mean that the dem ocratic party would make a party issue against Justice Hughes on the ground of his nomination while on the supreme bench. Some leaders, however, were not inclined to press this issue, recalling that the party drafted Alton B. Parker when he was chief judge of the New York court of appeals
