day that he will vote for Dr.. Butler on
the first ballot and for Senator Len
root on the next. So far as known,
Senator Lenroot's name will not be
presented to the convention. 1t is
understood that Jules H. Bache, of
New York City, will vote for Senator
Po!ndexter.
One of the developments Of to-day
was the well-based rumor that William
Barnes and William L. Ward are op-
posed to giving DR.. Butler more than a
complimentary vote.

Colonel Herbert Parsons. retiring
national committeeman, called the
delegates together. There were few
absentees, former Judge Nathan L.
Miller, one of the Big Four, not being
on hand at the beginning Of the roll
call. He arrived later.
Former Senator Depew's name on the

reached, there was generous applause
for DR.. Butler, Lou F. Payn, William
Barnes, Elon II. Brown, Lafayette B.
Gleason, secretary of the state COM
mittee and of the national committee,
and Mrs. Knapp.
1t was applause mixed with mirth
that greeted the calling of the name
Of the alternate from the fourth dis
trict Of Kings.
said Secretary Gleason Back came
the answer in sad and measured tones
from the rear of the room: "It sounds
good"
"It Sounds Good"
Strong men with dry throats laughed
softly as they echoed the Jest as q re-
frain: at sounds good"
Colonel Parsons said that he had
been disappointed in the distribution
Of spectators seats to the New York
delegation, as none Of them were first
class.
"But I am assured" said he, chat
they have acoustic appliances which
will make the seats, even the furthest
from the platform, better than those
close to it,"
No one believed this glowing pros
pect would materialize, but every one
was good tempered, and it was let go
without challenge.
