RVAN'S CONVENTION POSE I QUET AND UNOBTRUSIVE: 1 HOW HE PASSED THE DAY ‘If He Did Any “Bossing,” It Certainly ’ Was Not in the Open---Some of the Politicians He Met and Places He Visited. (Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) BALTIMORE, June 26.—There was nothing outwardly monstrous in the hppearance of Thomas F, Ryan of Oak Ridge, Va, who has newspaper headlines and cartoons all to himself, year in and year out, as he en- tered the Washington Apartments on Mount Vernon Place, where he has a private suj‘e of rooms. A very tall, gray-haired and well groomed man of almost benign countenance, he was discussing with a friend the Deauties of Druids Hill Park, through which he has evidently been motoring. Mr. Ryan has many friends in Baltimore, and he is highly thought of in the exclusive Maryland Club, so it was not necessary for him to occupy the suite of rooms taken in his name at the Belvedere. 4 Half an hour later Mr. Ryan emerged from his temporary home and fot into a waiting automobile. This was 9.30 o'clock. He was dressed dn a business suit, a dark gray. “Going over to the Rennert to caucus with my delegation,” he said, “Have you seen Judge Parker?” was asked. “Where is he stopping?” was the way Mr. Ryan parried this inquiry. No sooner did Mr. Ryan reach the Rennert than he was joined by 5 Cohgressman Flood of Appomattox. They walked together into parlor *] K, where the Virginia delegation has its headquarters, Many of the delegation were surprised to find the elder Thomas F. Ryan in their midst. They thought it was his son who was to be their associate, | Much volunteered information concerning the financier after he reached Convention Hall yesterday noon, going directly there from the Rennert, has been floated out since Judge Parker slid into the temporary chairmanship with a margin of sixty-eight votes, But aside from trying to look comfortable upon his narrow eighteen-inch seat on the end of the row among the Virginia delegates in thé centre of the convention floor, Mr. Ryan did not appear to have a care upon his mind. NO “BOSSING” IN THE OPEN. If Mr. Ryan did any bossing of the Democratic convention it was “through the medium of trusted Heutenants, whose work he was able Ro personally oversee. Mr. Belmont was in a lke position as a dele- gate in the New York delegation. As a delegate Mr. Ryan cast only “half a vote, but he managed to swing the other half, held by E. V. Barley ; ‘of Fincastle, Va. Together they gave Judge Parker one whole vote. ‘The other two delegates from the Tenth Virginia Congressional District F cast a whole vote for Mr. Bryan. Therefore it will be seen that the Wall street man broke even in his dis- et The entire Virginia delegation went 14 for Judge Parker and 10 for an. \ ar. Lo) { Among those whom Mr. Ryan did not confer with during the time he was visible to the naked eye were Messrs. Taggart, Murphy and Mack. Roger ©. Sullivan, who ts credited with being the leader of the group doing Mr, Ryan's secret will, said: * “When I have any business to transact with Mr. Ryan and want a nice quiet place to talk things over, you will find us together directly in front of Bhis buildin, fe And there you are. ‘a * ome of the big men of the Democratic Convention are quite the feverse in conduct and temperament from their habit of manner in every- @ay life. For instance, August Belmont and his brother, Perry, both gather cold and stand-offish in New York and Newport, are centres of Lt 4 5 4 4 pon the back, and good naturedly elbowing their way through the two Bardine boxes, aa the suffocating lobbies of the Hotel Emerson and the Belvedere might be culled. i The Belmonts appear to be having the time of their lives. They ride Mn ordinary taxicabs and rush into dense street crowds without fear or Arembling. Early Monday morning August Belmont waited for over two ‘hours in Roger C. Sullivan's room at the Belvedere without once ruffling up over the failure of the Illinois politician to put in an appearance. He ‘chatted freely upon all subjects with other callers, and even divided a mowspaper he was reading with Urey Woodson, the retiring national secre- “tary, a bushy-headed little man with a brusque manner, 5 Each of the politicians has a different way of talking confidentially ‘to a friend. Sullivan always puts his right arm over the left shoulder ‘and around the neck of the listener, Thomas Taggert, the Indiana hotel proprietor, clutches the subject of his interest in both hands by e coat sleev Norman Mack, @ newspaper owner in his home town, Ammediately hunts two seats when he has something *o say, and pounds) fercely at the other's knee.

Another large group of attendants at the convention are State officials from Albany. These include Gov, Dix, Lieu- tenant-Gov, C ry of State Lazansky, and Attorney-General Charley White, who seems to be about the best posted person hereabouts, says that this rallying of public officials away from thelr jobs during the national con- vention period ts a time honored custom which dates back to the days of George Washington, and he had some interest- tng names and figures anent the recent Chicago convention to show the custom 1s prevalent in both political parties, Thirty minutes spent on @ chair in the Aanteroom to the single chamber occu- pied by Willlam J. Bryan, in the Belve- dere two sessions of the convention, did ‘not bring into review any of the lawyers, wealthy men and public officials from New York. Mr, Bryan evidently does not know them very well, as they do not call upon him, There were « great many callers from the South and West, persons living in #aall towns and pos- eessing unfamillar names. They all seomed to be or terms of cordial inti- macy with Mr. Bryan, and discussed freely, and often loudly, their opinions. Once an excited man wearing @ ‘“houn’ dawg” badge and a Champ Clark button rushed in and ask “Did William Randolph Hearst call upon you ihis morning?” Mr. Bryan amiled and said: “You might ask Mr, Hearst.” ‘Then Mrs. Bryan, @ splendid looking woman, came in and stood beside her husband while he chatted with other arrivals. a TRAWREUFE FROME WHO BATTLE OF IS (Continued from First Page.) ay and they have all been disposed JUSTICE WARNS SHEARN NOT TO INTERFERE. “Mr. Shearn,” said tho Court, rather ination, and I am surprised at a man of your high intelligence.
