The Empire state d'dpgution came to the convention with Its ninety votes bound by such a rule passed at the state convention over the protest of several of its members, who are re newing their fight hero against the rule.

Turner and J.L Schuyl. eman Will Divide the Honors. READ IS DENIED SEAT XMlMin Followers Tighten Their Grip on tlio Democratic Convention at San Francisco McAdoo lleadijuiirtert. Uy Associated Prcsn SAN FRANCISCO, June 29, Del egate It. R. Turner, from Iio.eburg, Oregon, whose seat was hotly con tested by John 1,. Scliuylr.ian. of Portlund. on the ground Unit the latter had the backing of over Ion thousand democrats lu tho state wide priniuries. while Turner had only the state committee, must, according to a decUlon of the credentials com mittee's decision this morning, share the honors with Schuylmun. and each of the gentlemen will he allow ed a half vote in the convention de cisions. In the first round for recognition for his claim, Sshiiylman was ruled out of order by the chairman, but refusing to be barred from the con vention tho Portland man pressed his claim and ln the end waa re warded by being given a half vote. Turner being entitled to the other half. One of the main reasons that Schuylman's claim was looked upon with disfavor. It 'Is believed. U thst at one time he was affiliated with the socialist party in Oregon, but his claim that he voted for Mr. Wilson apparently proved the winning card, and so Mr. Turner, who Is an Incum bent of tho United Stales Land Offi ce at Honeburg, nnd an appointee of the Piesldont. was compelled to di vide tho mantle with tho Portlnnd m.m. Mr. Turner was chosen secre tary of tho delegation. Tho administration ' supporters had their hold on the national con vention considerably strengthened today through a series of victories In the credentials committee, which decided three hotly fought contests. One of these was the denial of a seat In the convention to Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri. Clark and Howell, delegates fTom Georgia, fa vorable to Palmer's candidacy, were also seated. The national committee was, however, overruled In the Tur ner decision, the Roseburg man hav ing been given a seat previously. Conference Headquarters.

June 29 United States Senator Chamberlain, of Ore son, will be put forward at tho psy chological moment as the demo cratic presidential camlidnte, und when b'is name Koe before the dem ocratic national convention thin weJc it will have the almost united sup port of tho New York delegation. Such is the morsel of ' Inside' bourbon politics now being brewed at San Francisco, as retailed by John D. Mann, chief deputy United States Marshall, who returned yes terday from New York, where with othera and among orhcrs, he conferr ed with Tammnny leaders. "I am violating no confidence when 1 sav that the Tammany lead ers, and by that 1 mean the New York ri elegit Ion are strong for Sen ator Chamberlain, and will make a detorm'ned effort to bring about bis nomination," quoth Mr. Mann. "Several of the higgeHt Tammany leaders told me they would vote for Smith on the firm fmv imlinls and would then be ready to swltrh for Chamberlain, They so-'d they would make a determir. effort to bring about a coalition having Chamber lain as the presidential candidate and Smith Kor vice president. "Senator Chamberlain. I leirned, (s mighty strong throughout New York stat. The people there admire his record as chairman of the senate committee on military affairs, and they believe he would be a logical candidate for the democratic presi dential nomination. "Frnnklv I would not be at all sur prised to hear of a sudden change for Senator rhuuberla'n. and 'if the plans of the New York delegation are carried out as outlined to me just hefore the delegation left for Ran Francisco, the nomination of the Ore eon senator as the democratic stand ard bearer is not only possible, but highly probable."

The first organized attempt to use airplanes lu Oregon for tho distribu tion of mail will be inaugurated this week, beginning Saturday, July 3rd, when a fleet of airplants will Iravo rordand carrying huge buudlts of invitations to the niurchauts of tho state to participate in buyers' week, August :th to 14 Hi inclusive. The aviators of the Oregon, Washington & Idaho Airplane com pany will fly lo various citlfs in the state with packages of mail for de livery to the postmasters of the cities, who will see to it that the let ters addressed to tho merchants of their section receive prompt delivery. The plan is expected to be a thor ough ti'Ht of the proposition which has been advanced that a regular mail service from Portland to tho cities of the state be Inaugurated un der governmental auspices. Already several Oregon cities have arranged to prepare suitable landing fields for the mall airplanes. The Idea will be enlarged upon from time to lime, but tho present plan calls for a service from San Francisco, Sacramento and other California cities to the cities of southern Oregon and the Willam ette valby to Portland, where the mall will again be distributed for Oregon coast polnt.i, eastern and central Oregon, and for the Pugel Sound region. The use of uirptunes for the dis tribution of the Invitations to the merchants of the state to participate In buyers week, simply will be a test of th general plan, nuycra' werk, as conducted In Portland, id now a nationally recognized Institu tion. The plan to concentrate tho buyers of the Paelflfc coast In Port land during the week of August 9 14 was begun eight years ago. It has proved to be an economical method of buying for the merchants of the Pacific coast, and each year has grown so that this year It is expected that at least 152 Portland jobbers and manufacturers will act as hosts to their guests. Buyers' week Is not entirely a busi ness proposition. The buyers and the Jobbers meet on social grounds. They become personally acquainted ; the problems of manufacturing and mar keting are discussed to the mutual advantage of the seller and the mer chant, and as a result many of the problems of building up a bigger ami a better Pacific coast are Hearing solution. During buyers week many forms of entertainment are provided. This vear there will be a "hlch Jinks" for the men, theater parties for the ludles, lunches, excursions to various sections of the city, sightseeing trips to points of interest about Portland, IEMENCY FOR PRISONER SOUGHT !
