Resolutions of respect to the mem- ory of the late chairman of the com- | mittee, United States Senator Hanna, | and United States Senator Quay, a former member and former chairman of the committee, were adopted. After deciding that the contests on delegates at large and district dele- gates from the various States shall be heard in executive session, each side to be given thirty minutes for the presentation of arguments, the com- mittee adjourned until to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The contests will be considered in alphabetical or- der, Delaware coming first. The matter of contested delega- tions is centered largely in the fight in Wisconsin, in which State two fac- tions have elected delegates at large. The supporters of Governor Lafollette of Wisconsin arrived to-day and were prepared to present their side of the controversy.

Knight Is Men- tioned for National Committeeman. BY F. W. BISHOP. Staft Correspondent of The Call. ON BOARD THE CALIFORNIA DELEGATION'S SPECIAL TRAIN, RENO, Nev., June 15.—The California delegation to the Republican National Convention has traversed the Golden State and now speeds eastward across the silver land. An enthusiastic farewell from San Francisco citizens and cordial greet- ings from citizens along the route have served to animate the more the buoy- ant spirits of the delegates and their guests. Weary from the exertions of their preparations for the trip to Chi- cago, the women of the party were willing to rest as soon as they boarded the train, but the delegates, anxious to settle bothering questions of politics, were soon grouped in the drawing- rooms and smoker engaged in discus- | sion. Delegates from south of Tehachapi admit that San Francisco is entitled to the national committeeman and in all probablility George A. Knight will be called upon to accept the office at the meeting of the delegation to be held at the headquarters in the Audi- | torium, 10 a. m. Mr. Ruef is willing to accept the of- fice of national committeeman and canvassed the situation to a limited degree, but his friends among the dele- gates eay he will yield to the wishes of those that favor Knight and there will be no contest. Judge J. W. McKinley of Los Angeles was spoken of, but he declined the honor. M. A. Gunst, delegate from the Fourth District, has his eye on an of- Chicago, next Monday at preceding the hearing | fice he believes he can fill to the satis- - | faction of all. { mendation of the sub-committee hav- | nia’s representative on the committee He seeks to be Califor- ing in charge the matter of seating | that will formally notify President the Porto Rican delegates will heard.

Payne, chairman of the national committee, who was unable to be present on account of illness, o B. Scott of West Virginia sided. Committeemen front Idaho, ashington, Arizona and Hawail were represented by proxies, and those from Montana, Oregon, Utah and New Mex- » were not present. cores of delegates to the convention arrived during the day and night. Postmaster General Henry C. Payne, chairman of the ymmittee, collapsed the Auditorium Annex to-day. | Payne has not been in good health | for some time. He recently took an ocean trip for purposes of recupera- tion. He was In his room when the at- tack came. His ailment was of a neurasthenic character. —-—e Will Send an Uninstracted Delegation.

Senators Governor Congressmen Roosevelt of his nomination. So far these are the most important questions of a political nature to be discussed by the delegates. At every station along the route a crowd had gathered to wave flags and cheer. The people of Sacramento, which city was reached at 2:05 o'clock this afternoon, had turned out in force. A brass band crashed and blared fare- well to Goverhor Pardee and the other delegates. The reception of the delegates that came in on the train by the Sacramen- tans was as warm as their climate and the degree of this is superlative. Truckee was left behind at 8:40 p. m. and the little city of Reno, after put- ting the Nevada delegates aboard, waved good-by at 9:45 o'clock. The desert dust ig ahead, but with Secretary Steppacher, the lord and master of two porters and the wine car, there is little to fear from the wastes of alkall. ———— DEMOCRATS I CONFERENCE. ST. LOUIS, June 15.—The sub- committee on arrangements of the National Democratic Committee pre- vious to the convention met to-day and discussed the selection of a tem- porary chairman of the convention. Senator Stone of Missouri was sug- gested, but declined. The committee Com- mitteeman C. A. Walsh of Iowa as secretary of the conven- tion and John I. Martins of St. Louis temporary ‘sergeant-at-arms. The matter of temporary chairman of the convention will be considered again to-morrow. -It was decided to hold the next adjourned meeting of the sub-com- tee on arrangements on July 2. The full National Committee will meet here July 4. with its hot winds and | D TO THE CONVENTION CITY| VIEW EXHIBITS GOVERNOR WILL e Will Also Be Received by the Commissioners in the California State Building FILCHER STARTS EAST Says a Splendid Display | of Fresh Fruit Is Needed in | Horticultural Department Governor Pardee will visit the St. Louls Exposition after the National Re- publican Convention is ended. He will be tendered a reception in the Califor- nia State building on the exposition grounds by the California commission- ers. He will also reside for some days | in the California building as the guest of the California commission. At the | reception in his honor will be assem- | bled the officials of the exposition, the | commisioners from all the States rep- | resented at the big show and other dig- | nitaries. Altogether the Governor will| have opportunities for a very enjoyable time and will have a chance to per- sonally inspect all the California ex-l hibits. | Commissloner J. A. Filcher started | eastward to return to the exposition | last evening. He will stop off at Au-‘ burn to meet Mrs, Filcher and Miss | Fiicher, who will accompany him to| St. Louls to remain during the season. | Mr. Filcher said just before starting | | last evening tha{ he had succeeded in| arranging several matters that brought | him to California. The Governor has | accepted the invitation to the reception | at St. Louls that was tendered to him | by the commissioners. The time select- | ed for the reception will be most oppor- tune, says Mr. Filcher, for there will not then be a plethora of functions and of dignitaries to be received on the ex- position grounds. Concerning his mission te California, Mr. Filcher said that it was principally in connection with the making of ar- rangementg for a daily supply of fresh deciduous California fruits from this time to the close of the exposition sea- | son. He was satisfied that the plan has been perfected for this desirable feature of the horticultural display, and it is certaln that a splendid array of fruits is needed to do credit to the State. California has practically no competition in this line. A special rate has been arranged by | the express companies of $3 50 per 100 pounds of fresh deciduous frult from California to the exposition grounds. One hundred pounds means flve twen- ty-pound boxes of fruit. Any commu- nity or any individual grower of fruit would readily put up a few boxes of fruit and pay $3 50 in express charges | to help make a good show at St. Louls. e Early peaches are now in the market | and will be followed shortly by all of | the later varieties suitdble for preserv- ing. This can best be done on a_gas | range from San Francisco Gas and Elec- tric Co., 415 Post street. . —— e ———— ARKANSAS GOES TO PARKER. enators and Governor Are Among the National Delegates.
