Chicago, June 26.—The expect- ‘ed split in the Progressive com- mittee ranks came today after the | Sohn M. Parker ., Dunkard Convention. A rather peculiar religious sect closed a convention at Fairview, a.little hamlet in Newton county, in the southwest part of Missouri, not long ago. They were the Dunkards and as_pacifists they committee had been in session for little more than’an hour. John M. Parker demanded that the doors 'sion made public. This demand came after several Progressive leaders had stated they had had confidential talks with Mr. Hughes. These leaders said Mr. Hughes would make his position clear and emphatie on every issue before the country in his formal acceptance speech, but, before that-time they: said they did not feel atliberty to discuss their conversation with Mr. Hughes publicly. Parker, however, demanded that the doors be opened at once. Leaders said if the committee de- sired, as they ought to, to know Mr: Hughes’ view the committee would have to remain in executive session until they were through. Parker insisted on his motion ed overwhelmingly. Whereupon Parker gave a signal and eight members of the committee walked out. > Parker.came out red. with an- ger. He said he —weuld not go back until the sessions were opened. The committee continued undis- turbed in session until the ‘‘con- versations’’ were refated. Then the doors were opened and the re- bellious ‘‘third ticket crowd came back.”’ Among them were Mr. Parker, | Brainbridge Colby of New York, who nominated Roosevelt in the Progressive convention; Burton Vance of Kentucky, Judge Nor- for an open session.
