tlSIng convention which opens here
Monday began arriving today from
plymouth, Southampton and Liver
pool. Special boats which conveyed
the delegates from New York dock ed
at these ports last night and this
morning.
The huge contingents of delegates
gage~upset the even flow of the Eng
lish train system this forenoon by
arriving in special trains at intervals s
OF ten minutes. They were met and
welcomed by Sir Herbert Morgan and
{. Harold Vernon on behalf of the
advertisers and representatives of the
lord mayor, the British empire eNhi-
bition and many commercial organi-
cations
SO scarce were accommoda tionS in
this tourist ridden city that the Amer
leans had to be taken to hotels scat
tered over every part of London and
its suburbs. The delegates were
stormed from the minute OF their ar
rival by hosts of reporters who
sought to obtain from each Of them
an interview on the possibilities of
advertising Great Britain on the road
TO prosperity out of the present com
mercial depression, which is to be
the keynote of the convention. In
most cases the reporters were sue
ceSSful.

SPEEDS UP TRIAL
Of EX-GOV. HARVEY
Court Seeks to Have Case
Against South CaroIinan
Completed Today.

Ey the Associated Press.
ALLENDALE, s. ., July 12-With
Judge J. Henry Johnson pressing for
completion of the case by 6 o'clock
this afternoon, taking of testimony
in the second trial of former Gov.
Wilson G. Harvey of South Carolina
charged with violating the state
banking laws, was resumed today.
Additional witnesses had been called
by the prosecution, which yesterday
placed State Bank Examiner w. W.
Bradley, c. r. 1. Brown and A. w.
Ltschgi, jr., liouidating agents of
the defunct Enterprise Bank, and
Henry Haas, chairman of the de-
positors' committee, on the stand.
Although the defense had not in
dicated what course it would pursue,
1T was expected that the former gov
ernor, who yesterday was compelled
to take his place in the prisoner S
dock to answer to the indictment al
leging he had accepted deposits after
his bank was insolvent, contrary to
law, would take the stand and give
his version of the difficulties that
while he was occupying the executive
mansion at Columbia
On cross examination yesterday v
Examiner Bradley testified that the
certified copy of his report introduced
at the first hearing of the case, which
resulted in a mistrial, was not a
duplicate of the official report mas
much as. though an error. it stated
that the bank had approximately
$4,000 of worthless paper, where
as the official report classified this
paper as doubtful" instead of worth
less. The terms worthless and doubt
full were confused in the reprinting
of the form on which the report was
made out, the examiner admitted.
