LA T Gty Special Dispatch to The Call ALL. HEADQUARTERS, SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 5.—The work of the district conventions was concluded to-night. There were no serious contests ex- cept in the Second District. In this district the victory of S. D. Woods of San Joaquin County created a great surprise among the delegates. It was thought early in the day that Colonel E. A. Forbes of Yuba would be nominated for Congress in this district, and that the latter failed to secure the coveted plum was due principally to the untiring efforts of F. E. Dunlap and Arthur Levinsky of San Joaquin County, who from the outset labored to secure the nomination for their friend. ballots were necessary to decide the contest. Nevada County was first to break and join Woods’ standard and the delegates from Butte quickly iollowed, and the nomination of San Joaquin’s candidate was assured. ~Although the contest was a spirited one, it ended harmoniously.
