Although the hearings of the full com- mittee will continue through tomorrow, it was said the sub-gommittee might be- gin its work early in the morning in the hope of completing the platform by ‘Thursday. Among those heard tonight was Hen- ry Lane Wilson of Indiana,’ former American ambassador to Mexico, who pleaded for a platform declaration re- cognizing “our direct responsibility” for conditions in Mexico and pledging the party to “full protection” of American property in Mexican territory. He said, however, he did not advocate action “which would lead to intervention or war.” “The present °administration,” said Mr. Wilson, “drove from its legitimate place a legally installed government and brought on chaos. Finally, in bind un- skilfull attempt to remedy the injury done, it set up a pure military autocra- cy without the consent of the Mexican people.

To do so would prejudice the Wood cause and I have given our forces not to do so. No rough stuff will come from us, but we are glad to be able to show that the majority of the committee on creden- tials, and also of resolutions is not against Wood.” ‘While these developments were taking the drift of the talk, and it may nothing more, was trendinf toward CONTESTANTS BEFORE THE CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE Chicago, June 8.—Warfare over con- testing state delegations, waged so vig- orously all last week before the republi- can national committee, Was resumed late today before the convention.creden- tials committee.
