THE MORNING OREGON! AN. TUESDAY, JXTLT 7, 1908. ANTI-BRYAN MEN If! CONFERENCE Cling to Hope of Victory If New York Would Only Speak Out. SEEK RALLYING POINT Meet In Secret Away From Crowd and Plot to Prevent Flrst-Bal-, lot Choice Time to Work Cp Opposition. DEN-VER, July . Tonight, the antl Bry&n men made another effort to con centrate opposition against the nomina tion of the Nebraskan and say that they ire now encouraged for the first time lince the delegations began to arrive. The movement Is not, however, taken With deep seriousness by any or the men $'ho are leading the Bryan forces. The greatest effort was- made today to Veep the meeting secret, those who were present being summoned by small cards, which wero quietly passed around. The cards stated the place where the meeting rw to be held, which was In the Equita ble building, 'away from the hotels and far from the. headquarters and far away from any regular delegation. The names of the men who were pres ent were also kept secret to a large extent, but It In known that among those who were present were Daniel F. Cohan and William F. Sheehan. of New York; Colonel James M. Guffey, of Pennsyl vania; ex-Senator James J. Smith, of New Jersey; A. F. Cox, of Georgia: c. I. Straus, of Maryland; Josiah Marvel, of Delaware, and Frederick B. Lynch, of Minnesota. Other men were there who. up to tonight, have not been mentioned as opponents of Mr. Bryan. The meeting was largely directed by Mr. Sheehan, who declared that the only way to focus the opposition to Mr. Bryan was to give It a standard around which it could rally. It was the consensus of opinion among those present that, if New York will declare against Mr. Bryan and stand firmly by its declaration, there rxtsts a chance of defeating him. It has been clearly understood from the first that the New York delegation would not cast Its vote for Mr. Bryan if it believe a decisive result could be obtained by casting It for another candidate, who met the favor of the Empire State. Some of those present at today's secret meeting pointed out that they still had two days In which to work up opposition to Mr. Bryan; that there was a chance of bringing New York bodily to their aid. Inasmuch as It has not yet declared Its position, and that Georgia, it Is generally understood, is ready to go against Mr. Bryan If New York will do so. BRYAN WAVE SWAMPS ALL (Continued from Page 1.) leld Its first meeting to consider con tests, which resulted in the dismissal f Senator McCarren's New York contests and the seating of Roger Sullivan's Illi nois delegates. Day of Noisy Demonstration. The foregoing are only the main fea tures of an eventful day, a day marked by the culmination of that noisy demon stration which ushers in a National con vention, with delegations and their hosts of followers pouring into town, with bands and marching clubs vielng in tur bulent demonstration and with streets and hotel lobbies filled with surging crowds. Amid all this confusion the men of action have worked unceasingly. Most of the states effected their organizations, electing members of the committees which will serve tomorrow. Aside from the many private conferences over can didates and platform, the day has been one of preparation and business detail for the coming assemblage. Bryan Chorus Swelling. The arrivals today have practically completed the roster of state delega tion and have given a clear Idea of the aggregate strength commanded by the Bryan forces. It has been one con tinuous swelling of the Bryan chorus with only scattering accessions for other candidates. This has become so apparent that the nomination of Mr. Bryan seems assured, not only by the required two-thirds vote of the con vention, but by practically a unani mous vote, except that of Minnesota and Delaware, whose representatives still Insist they- will he steadfast to the end for their favorite sons, and scattering anti-Bryan delegates from Georgia. New York, Pennsylvania. Maine and several other localities a scattered opposition dwarfed by the magnitude of Mr. Bryan's total. While this steady tide of Bryan strength has been setting in, the allied opposition tins been looking intently but vainly toward New York, for it has been recognized that Chief Murphy, the political genius of the delegation, held a key which might unloose a movement of genuine voice against the Nebraskan. With New York taking the lead with its 7S votes against him, Mr. Guffey and his Pennsylvania co horts would have followed suit, Geor gia was wavering and likely to turn a block of the Southern strength away from Mr. Bryan, and this, with the or ganized strength of Mr. Johnson and Judge Gray, might have given vitality to the allied opposition. But all these reckonings have come to naught because of New York's per slstcnt silence. Mr. Murphy Is neither for Mr. Bryan nor against him, and with this leaderless. aimless situation, the allied opposition has slowly crumbled to pieces. If Mr. MurPhy has watted for some one else to take the lead, as is generally believed, he will have the satisfaction of going back to New York with the declaration that it would have been lacking in political sagacity for New York to act against Mr. Bryan until the aggregate strength of the opposition was demonstrated to be sufficient to defeat him. Delegates Claimed by Anils. For the first time tonight the allied opposition disclosed figures showing what might have happened had New York announced that Its 78 votes would be swung against Mr. Bryan. Accord ing to this table, a total of 349 votes, or considerably more than the neces sary number to block a Bryan nomina tion, would have swung into line with t. New York, the claim on the detail be ing as follows: Alabama 1 .Florida 7, Georgia 26, Louisiana 18, West Vir ginia 14, North Carolina 14, Connecti cut 12, Delaware 6. Maine 11, Massa chusetts 12, New Hampshire 4, New Jersey 24, New York 78, Pennsylvania 48, Rhode Island 4. Vermont 8, Minne sota 22, Ohio 12, Wisconsin , Alaska 6, Porto Rico 6. Abandon Fight In Despair. The total vote of the convention la 1002, the one-third necessary to prevent a nomination being 334, whereas the allied opposition claimed 15 in excess of this requirement had New York fur nished the rallying point. A meeting was held late this evening of the various anti-Bryan elements during which the situation was fully canvassed and a practical agreement reached that it was futile to continue the fight, in view of New York's in action. Guffey's Victory Over Bryan. The contest in the Pennsylvania del egation raged around Mr. Guffey, but his victory, his enemies say, is less significant than might appear. The hopes of the Bryan men are centered on .the nine contesting delegates from Pennsylvania. As these contestants are Bryan men, they are practically assured of being seated by the Bryan commit tee on credentials and, once seated, Mr. Guffey's victory of today may be suc ceeded by Mr. Bryan's final triumph tomorrow, according to the calculations of the Bryan men. Against this, how ever, Mr. Guffey secured the support of 40 Pennsylvania delegates, whose seats are uncontested, and who have an un disputed majority ot the 68 Pennsyl vania votes, regardless of contest. Parker Pulls Out Sting. Interest is turning tonight toward the open session of the convention, which begins at noon tomorrow. The appointment of the committees on cre dentials, rules and' permanent organ ization will be followed by the resolu tions on Grover Cleveland. Judge Par ker has prepared a new draft of these resolutions, completely eliminating pol itics and dealing only with the eminent public services of Mr. Cleveland. If, however, there is the slightest dispo sition on the part of any of Mr. Bryan's friends to object to the Parker draft, owing to the feeling created by Us early provisions, it will not be pre sented. Tomorrow's proceedings will be brief, and after the preliminary or ganization is effected an adjournment i will be taken as a mark of respect to Mr. Cleveland. CACCVS OF EMPIRE STATE Appoints Platform Committee and Prepares Injunction Plank. DENVER. July 6. At the New York state headquarters here today the pre viously arranged programme of the state leaders was carried out In every detail. No action was taken as to the Presidency, Vice-Presidency or the selection of Na tional committeeman. Lewis Nixon was appointed head of a sub-committee of ten to draft a tentative platform to be presented at a subsequent caucus and to be urged before the committee on resolu tions. A strong anti-injunction plank was offered in the caucus and referred to the sub-committee without debate. Charles F. Murphy was made chairman of the state delegation; Alton B. Parker, mem ber of the committee on resolutions; Thomas F. Grady, member of the com mittee on rules; Daniel F. Coahalan, member of the committee on credentials and Charles P. Williams, membjr of the committee on permanent organization. Judge Parker was busy before the cau cus went Into session preparing a new resolution with respect to the memory of Grover Cleveland. It was said that no copy of the resolution would be male public until It had been approved by the New York state leaders. The caucus adjourned, to meet again at 10 A. M. tomorrow. The subcommit tee on platform held its first meeting during the afternoon. Absolutely no suggestion as to a future course of action regarding the Presidency or Vice-Presidency was made. It was gen erally understood in advance that all of these matters were to be passed over for the present and probably decided by committees to be named tomorrow. The anti-injunction plank which was offered in the caucus by Charles P. Williams, of Lyons, provides for such a modification of the laws regulating an injunction as to prevent the issu ance of any injunction until after due notice and a full hearing; for trial by another Judge than the one issuing the writ in case of contempt; for trial Id oau at offense committed outside , 'W'.-' tin-tmj lTp'Z&&Zi V FQK.NtJt.

An interesting echo from Lincoln has reached here to the ef fect that Mr. Bryan has received favor ably the suggestion that the recent pro nounced antagonism of the Bryan men to Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, shall be offset by the Intimation that in the event of Mr. Bryan's election he will invite Johnson to take a place in hi3 Cabinet. One of the many visitors to Mr. Bryan who is now here has pointed out to him that the marked antagonism to Johnson might alienate the Influential Scandina vian clement with which the Minnesota Governor Is identified by birth and asso ciation. Mr. Bryan did not relish the idea of "playing politics," but at the same time, it is said, he received the suggestion with considerable favor and if the matter could be freed from Interested motives and political expediency he would be inclined to let it be understood that Governor Johnson would be favorably considered if the occasion arises to form a Bryan Cabinet. ILLINOIS GIVES BRYAN" SIAP Re-elects Sullivan and Rejects Dunne for Platform Committee. DENVER. Colo., July 6. Against the wishes of W. J. Bryan, the Illinois dele gation today re-elected Roger fj. Sulli van Democratic National committeeman for the State of Illinois and also chair man of the delegation. They also, against Mr. Bryan's wishes, made known to the delegation, elected Sam uel Alshuler a member of the com mittee on resolutions in place of Ed ward F. Dunne. Mr. Sullivan sought to have the dele gation reconsider its action and elect in his stead as National committeeman Charles Boenchenstein. but in that he was overruled, Mr. Boenschensteln di recting that his name be withdrawn. The announcement of the election of Mr. Sullivan was greeted with vocifer ous applause. Towne's Friends Hopeful. DENVER, July 6. At the Vice-Presidential headquarters of Charles A. Towne. of New York, favorable reports were being received, it was claimed, from many arriving delegations. The Mlssourians brought the cheer ing information that a straw vote had been taken on the train en route her. Showing the entire delegation for Towne except two, who favored John Mitchell, the labor leader. "The Okla homa delegation, while taking no for mal action, bad been canvassed and found to stand for Towne. Several Southern delegations had also ex pressed their preference for Towne, in cluding Alabama and Mississippi. A The Towne managers claim that if New York1 would give some encour agement to their man he was almost certain of sufficient strength from tne outside to assure his nomination. Tom Johnson Xot on Committee. DENVER. July 6. The Ohio delegation by an overwhelming vote, has decided that Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleve land, shall not be National committee man from that state. The Ohloans held ! their conference on the train. 33 of the total of the 48 delegates attending. Mr. Johnson got only six votes, the other 27 being cast for Harvey Garber. of Co lumbus, former chairman of the Demo cratic state executive committee. Mr. Johnson himself, arriving with the dele gation and driving alone In an open car riage to his hotel, declared he bad no in terest in the talk of his being chairman of the new National committee. "That work Is out of my line entirely," said he. "and. moreover, my work at Cleveland is as yet unfinished." EASTERN EXCURSIONS. The Canadian Pacific is making very low round-trip rates to St. Paul.

GUFFEY IS AGAIN CHOSEN BRYAN'S ENEMY RE-ELECTED NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN". Pennsylvania Delegates Opposed to Him Leave Caucus In Disgust Before Vote Is) Taken. DENVER, July 6. Colonel James M. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, was today re elected a member of the Democratic National Committee from that state, al though several delegates left the cau cus before it was done, declaring the proceedings Irregular. The delegation met at the Adams house and immediately after being called to order a motion was made by John H. Fow, of Philadelphia, that an adjourn ment be taken until 8 o'clock tonight. The motion was seconded by L. McQuls ton, of Butler. It was urged in support of the motion that the contests for va rious seats in the convention had not yet been settled and that the meeting was not regular. The motion was de clared by the anti-Guffey men to be car ried, although not more' than a dozen delegates voted. Those favoring the ad journment, all of whom were opposed to Guffey, then left the meeting amid cries of "cowards" from the Guffey men. Colonel Guffey then entered the room and the meeting was again called to order, 47 delegates being present, although four or five alternates were included in this total. William J. Bannon, of Pitts burg, acted as chairman. P. J. O'Boyle, of Wilkesbarre, named Guffey for Na tional committeeman, the nomination be ing seconded by John M. Garman, of Wilkesbarre. Mr. Guffey was then elected without opposition. HIT EARTH TAB SUDDENLY ALARM FOR BALLOON1STS WHO DESCENDED AT CLIXTOX. Lelchliter and ePterson Badly Hurt. Fielding Will Meet Challeng ers at San Antonio. CHICAGO, July 6. (Special.) Much anxiety is felt in Chicago by friends and relatives of Charles H. Lelchliter and Captain Martin Peterson, occupants of the balloon Columbia, who were severe ly injured when the big air craft was dashed to the ground at Clinton, Onta rio. Both men are in the hospital at Clinton, badly cut and suffering from other injuries1. Dr. Frederick J. Fielding, who made his first aerial trip in his first balloon, wired the city officials at San Antonio, Tex., that he would take the trophies of his success to that city and, if other balloon-owners sought International honors in . future, they would have to race from San Antonio. Dr. Fielding took up the balloon as a fad only recently. He had acquired med als and trophies in other strenuous fancies, however. In an automobile built by special order he challenged Barney Oldfield to visit San Antonio for a race, and defeated the veteran chauffeur. He also challenged the "san of Hetty Green, who had attained prominence in Texas automobile circlse, and defeated him. Cholera Kills Army Man. MANILA. July 6.

FLOOD AT LINCOLN Torrential Rain Inundates Ne braska Capital. , AT LEAST ONE DROWNED Several Persons Are Missing and Loss of Life May Be Considerable.' Property Loss in the Near Vicinity Is Heavy. LINCOLN. Neb.. July . Nearly all Lincoln is under water today, the result of a storm last night which lasted for nine hours and assumed the proportions of a cloudburst. The flood not only caused an immense loss to property-owners and to railroads, but has been at tended by loss of lite, the extent of which is not definitely known. At least one .person, a milkman named William Nel son, is known to have been drowned and a woman and her three children, living in the bottoms in the West portion, is missing. An area of 25 square miles was covered with water from 2 to 15 feet deep. The Burlington and Northwestern passenger stations were two feet deep in water, while the Rock Island's lines were washed out both north and south of the city, making it impossible to bring to Lincoln any of the trains scheduled to . arrive during the day. The Northwestern passenger station was Just outside of the water line, but its roadbed is said to be so far under water west of the city that it did not attempt to move its afternoon train scheduled to leave the city at 1:50 o'clock. Carlines Are Tied ITp. Nearly all streetcar lines are tied up. More than three inches of rain fell and the river rose three feet above the maxi mum record of 1892. The gas supply is cut off and the Hughes building, of which the foundations were undermined, fell Into the Antelope. Robert Rose, Mr. Bryan's private eecre tary.was driven from the tent, which, by choice, he occupied on the Fairview lawn. He rescued his bedding, but his extra sup ply of clothing was soaked through. As the Bryan household had retired for the night, Mr. Rose sought and received shel ter at the near-by cottage of E. T. Fran tham. This morning Mr. Bryan furnished a bedraggled newspaper man who had been marooned over night at Fairview with a collar to replace one wrecked by the storm. He Informed the newspaper man that on any similar occasion in the future Fairview was to be a life-saving station for all outcasts. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan narrowly escaped being caught in the downpour. They had driven to the Rock Island depot to greet some Central Iowa Democrats, who were passing through, and reached Fairview Just ahead of the flood. A half hour later the road leading down the hill from the Bryan house to the trolley line was a shallow river, rushing down the rapids I with a roar like a small Niagara Falls.

WILL GET THERE IN TIME High Water Washes Out Track Ahead and Bryan Kxerts Himself to Find Way Out for. the Temporary Chairman. BE I.I. WILL GET THERE IN TI ME. LINCOLN. Neb., July 6. Shortly before H o'clock tonight W. J. Bryan received a message from Theodore A. Bell statin that Mr. Bell's train had left Belleville, Kan., and would be In Denver between 7 and 8 tomorrow morning. A later report recorded that the train had passed Phllllps burg, Kan., with a clear track ahead all the way to the Colorado capUal. LINCOLN. Neb.. July . Temporary Chairman Theodore A. Bell, who to gether with, Mr. Bryan, had become al most hopeless about reaching Denver in time for the opening of the conven tion on account of the high water, which put the railroads in and out of Lincoln out of business, left the scene of the washout for Denver at 5 P. M., having left the city on a handcar. The Rock Island lines were able by unusual effort to arrange for a special train from the west side" of the washout near Rockeby, Nebraska. Mr. Bell and As sociated Press representatives were able to cross the swollen stream and board the waiting train, which will reach Belleville, Kas.. in time to catch the Rock Island's fast Colorado express from Kansas City which will be held for the purpose due in Denver at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Train Ordered to Get There. Unless further unexpected trouble arises with the excellent facilities of the Rock Island Mr. Bell will reach Denver practically on time and ahead, of the time set for the opening of the convention. General Manager Melcher's instructions are "to get there In time, even if the train has to split in two sections to do it." Mr. Bryan, who took charge of the arrangements to get Mr. Bell past the washouts, had no sooner hit upon the Missouri Pacific as a means of escape, than he had to abandon it. owing to the weakness of the road-bed at Weep ing Water. Then he adopted the plan of driving to Waverly, 10 miles away, past two washouts and catching a Bur lington train to Omaha. Before he could carry this out he learned that a Rock Island special would wait on the west side of the break, and fell back on that route. Bell's Quarrel With Cole. To an Associated Press man who drove with Mr. Bell from Fairview to Lincoln the Californlan declared that .last night's newspaper reports of the affair between himself and Nathan Cole had been grossly exaggerated. "En route to Ogden," said Mr. Bell, "the delegation decided to select a National Committeeman, and I will ad mit the debate grew heated, but not to the extent reported. Nathan Cole was selected, and although I had been op posed to nim,- after his selection we kissed and: made up and both agreed to fight our best for the election of Mr. Bryan. We will work shoulder to shoulder." With reference to the charges and counter-charges made by Colonel Guf fey, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Bryan, Mr. Bell declared that while he felt the same sentiments toward the repre sentative of the Keystone state as does Mr. Bryan, he thought It well that the fight had come off. "It will clear the air. and a good fight never did any body injury," he said. Strong Talk on Publicity. He explained his visit to Fairview on the grounds of his being selected by the delegation of his state to proceed to Lincoln with greetings to Mr. 3ryan. He had ample time for the trip, he thought at that time, but began to g?t worried, after leaving Omaha. Ha left that city last night, and the train la bored for 10 hours, making 55 mile. He informed Mr. Bryan of the selec tion of Mr. Cole to represent California on the National Committee and dJs cuseed with the leader the platform and his speech as temporary chairman.
