resolutions committee, ana OtnerS De- fore the platform is prepared for the convention.
 With the coming of MT. Bryan spec ulation increased among delegates as to whether he will appear before the resolutions committee and advocate a preparedness plank along the lines of e- his often expressed views and wheth- ef he will urge the committee to adopt some sort of declaration on the Houor question. Whether the resO- lutions committee will hold a public hearing to receive suggestions for blanks to be inserted in the platform has not yet been determined. The suffragists desire such a hearing. La bor leaders representing the Amer
 Van Federation of Labor, who are here with fourteen blanks similar to those presented to the republicans last week also want a hearing as do cer- tain societies interested in immigra- tion and asso ociations favoring the eX- tension Of civil service among govern ment employees.
 Navy League Desires Hearing
 Among others to appear before the committee are Rear Admirals Hugo Osterhaus and Richard Wainwright, retired, with a delegation from the Navy League They will present the views of the league as to the enlarge ment of the navy
 Senator Stone, former representa- tive A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsyl- vania who will also be a member of the resolutions committee and several leaders continued the consideration of platform matters today. The com 4snittee will be named tomorrow. It will immediately organize and, accord ing to present indications, the plat form will be completed Wednesday night. No report will be made to the convention until Friday morning, however.
 Demands for tickets to the Coliseum continued to grow today but there were none to be had by the late com CTS as the apportionment of seats has already been made. The manage ment of the Coliseum last night locked out 120 workmen and all representa- tives of the national committee for hree hours and re-admitted the work men only after the national commit committee had agreed to give the Co., liseum managers four boxes contain ing twenty-two seats for all sessions of the convention.
 rThe lockout caused the members of the national committee considerable anxiety, inasmuch as the Coliseum is only partly decorated and without chairs for delegates, alternates and newspaper men. By working day and night shifts it will be possible to put the building in proper shape in time for the opening of the convention Wednesday noon esSeveral days ago the attention of mem bers of the national committee 1 was called to a clause in the contract | with the Coliseum Company which l the comittee had not noticed at the l time of the signing of the agreement. This clause, the Coliseum managers said, requires that any one renting tise building must give to the man. agers the use of four boxes.
 Those who are interested in the makeup of the national committee have found that the membership which ceases with the close of the convention contains five men who have served together for twenty years. They are: Josephus Daniels secretary of the navy, representing North Carolina; Clark Howell, Georgia; John T. McGraw, West Vir- ginia; Senator Tillman, South Caro- lima, and Urey Woodson, Kentucky. MT. Howell will remain member of the committee and possibly MT. McGraw. The other three will retire.
 Bryans Plan To Snare Moose.
 William J. Bryan, newspaper re- porter from Nebraska, arrived here today to cover" the democratic na- tional convention. He asserted most oJ,o4i L,; fWill be his first interest. But the former secretary of state, chief build CT of many democratic platforms, in cluding the one on which the party now stands, and author of numerous peace treaties, has a new treaty to propose to other dem ocratic leaders, B pact bringing progressives to the support of the dem mocratic ticket next fall.
 Now is the opportune time for the democratic party to get most of the progressives," said MT. Bryan in a nasty cross-the-corridor interview, as he reached his hotel today.
 The progressives were not at all satisfied with the results of their con- vention at Chicago MT. Bryan con- hnued. I believe the time is ripe for the democrats to secure a large part of the progressive vote
 They are closest to us in sym pathy, anyway, you know" MT. Bryan added. He indicated that the end in view might be largely accomplished py the writing into the democratic platform of progressive blanks
 have no plans except to report this convention" was MT. Bryan's cryptic answer, when asked if he would address the convention or ap- pear before the resolutions committee m pehaf or peace and anti militarist
