On motion of Senator Vilas the com- mittee went into secret session for the pury of settling all questions of proxies and contests, it rted that the right of ©. A represent the state of be contested. Chairman Brice suggested that as the national committee was to be en- tertained at luncheon by the district committes at 3 p.m. it might be well toannounce before going into secret session that the delegations from the competing cities would not be heard A motion to that ef- but was finally with- drawn on the conclusion that this was a matter of business which should rather be settled in secret session. The committee thea went into secret session, the general publie and press being excluded. In the secret session Secretary Har- rity, of the Pennsyivania central com- mittee’ presented his credentials a the national committeeman selected by the central committee of that state to fill the vacaney caused by the death of Ilon. W. L. Scott. Chair- man Brice hat at the time of Mr. Scott’s death appointed ex-Congress- James Kerr to fill the vacancy from Pennsylvania, but the state cen- tral committee of Pennsylvania for- mally declared that Chairman Brice had no right permanently to fill such a vacancy aid thereupon selected Secretary Harrity as Mr. Scott's successor, utterly ignoring Mr. Kerr's claims. It was expected that this might provoke discussion, but Mr. Kerr an- nounced that he would soive the dis- pute. ‘lt is my intention,” said he as he stepped ou: of the meeting for a moment, ‘to relieve the situation of embarrassment by simply resigning. That will leave a vacancy and the com- mittee can settle it without controversy by accepting Mr. Harrity's credentials or otherwise as it may seem fit There will be no unseemly contest.” ‘The Montana contest was settled by declaring C. A. Broadwater the regular committeemau from that state, but Mr. Mitchell, his contestant, was al- lowed the privilege of sitting in the room during the sessions of the com- mittee. ‘The latter was allowed no vote, the right of vot» being accorded to Mr. Lyman, proxy of Mr. Broad- water. When Pennsylvania was reached, Mr. Kerr formally resigned whatever claims he may have had to represent that state, ant Mr. Harrity, the new com- mitteeman, was de of Mr. Scott These tw> contests being settled the committee proceeded t» the selection of the date of the national de noeratic convention. After very litt'e dis sion Tuesday, June 21, was selected. At the conclusion of the secret ses- sion the committee took a recess until 3:39, it bein sd that the argu- ments for the cities should begin at 4 o'clock, each city to be given twenty minutes to present its claims, the arga- ments to be heard in the alphabe order of tie various ¢ At 4 o’elock the committe was rain ealled to order by Chairman Brice and the roll of cities was ordered to be called by the secretary and each representative advanced the claims of the city he represented The balloting began roll showed th territ s all re se being rey sroadwater to Montana might before 4 o'clock fect was made Jared the successor tical ies. ia the evening Y o'clock, and the varous surprising changes announced from time to time as it proceeded caused intense excite- ment among the adherents of the cities | contending for the prize. The erowd srew impatient and anxious, and the suspense was only re ieved when Sena- tor Barbour, of Virginia, stepping out of the convention hall, said quietly: “Chieago is the place. She needs but one vote and she will get it.” On the first ballot New York received vote Milwaukee, 8; San Francisco, 8; Cincinnati, 3; Detroit, 5; St. Paul, 7: Indianapolis, 2; Kansas City, 13; Chica- go, 1. The balloting continued with- out results, and with various changes until the tenth when Chicago reached 13 votes and Kansas City dropped to 7. From that to the fifteenth ballot Chicago steadily gained. On the fif- teenth ballot the vote was: Detroit, 1; St. Paul, 1; Kansas City, 2; Milwaukee, 18; Chicago, 2%, and so Chicago was de- elared the choice of the committee. Silver Ore Discovered.
