CONVENTION TAKES
OFF COAT AND GETS
DOWN TO BUSINESS
Delegates CoCk-Sure at First,
Now Admit Doubt as
to Results.
Especial Staff Correspondent Of The
Eveninq Worldly

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3O.-It is
obvious to every one this morning
that the convention has at last got
it's coat off and is settling down to
business. Yesterday and the day be-
fore and prior to the convention it
was impossible to find a delegate
who could not tell you not only who
was going to be nominated but just
exactly how and when it was going
to be done. In fact they were so
sure Of the Presidential dope" that
they put in good full eight-hour
union days standing around in the
hotel Hobbies telling everybody with
in Garshot just exactly what went
on.
This morning, however, after a
careful search, several delegates were
finally discovered who were willing
to admit that there might be some
doubt about the matter. Moreover,
the delegates no longer go milling
around in the different hotels fol-
lowed closely by the female mem
bers of their families, looking for
some one to go into conference with
or at least for an acquaintance they
could speak TO with the faint hope
mistake them for one Of the big
political guns being greeted by a
faithful adherent.
NO, indeed. Now they are getting
in the deep stuff. At the ends OF
all passageways, in each out Of the
way corner, and back Of every door,
groups Of four and five delegates can
be found lurking, They are almost
invariably found standing in per
feet circle with badges and candi-
dates buttons TO the inside. Their
heads are close together and each
member Of the group has a firm
grasp on the coat lapel of the men on
his right and left sides.
|. They are talking in hushed tones
just above a Whisper, but if some I'M
fortunate passes within fifty feet they
all stop talking and look at him as
though he was some particularly low
form Of German spy. Everybody has
the feeling that now the various COM
mittees have got well under way, that
hearings on the important planks
for the platform have been held, that
political battles are getting well I'M
der way, and that Mr.. Bryan has
given out the astonishing statement
that he is against alcoholic beverages,
something has really been accom-
plished.
This was plainly visible on the
faces Of the delegates as they as
scmbed this morning before the
opening Of the days session, and
while tho great gray pipe organ which
almost covers one side Of the Audi
| torium roared out popular music with
| "a noise like an the old time country

They have little device out at
this convention hall that might be
useful in a sporting way It's huge
dictophone arrangement that hangs
over the speakers place on the plat

hangs small square box with a
round diaphragm showing in the mid

looks like eight megaphones, point
ing in different directions, connected
by wires with q vibrating attach

You can see the speakers lips
move but the roaring sound of his
