HEARSTPQINTMADE
Massachusetts Committee Is
Against the Unit Rule,
0LNEY MEN ARE IN CONTROL
If Convention Desires, It Can Vote
for System So Obnoxious to the
EditorConcessions, How
ever, Are Probable.
BOSTON, April 20. A spirit of con
cession to the supporters of W. R. Hearst
was manifest at tonight's meeting of the
Democratic State Convention called to
perfect arrangements for tomorrow's
state convention, at which delegates-at-large
and alternates to the National
Convention will be chosen. The friends
of Richard Olney asserted, however, that
the convention would advocate Mr. 01
ney's nomination for tho Presidency by
selecting delegates pledged for him.
The Hearst men, headed by George
Fred Williams, won what they consider
an Important concession from the state
committee, when that body voted against
the embodiment of the unit rule in tho
call for tho convention. Mr. Williams
said the part of the convention call which
declared that the election of district
delegates was subject to the action of
the state convention had never been au
thorized, and had been subsequently In
serted illegally by ex-Mayor Joslah Quln
cy, of this city. It appeared that the
call had originally been sent out without
the words to which Mr. Williams object
ed and it was voted that the call as
first issued should stand as the legal call
for the convention.
Although the Hearst supporters won
their point before the committee, there Is
nothing to prevent Olney delegates from
presenting resolutions tomorrow commit
ting the convention to the unit rule.
Mr. Williams said tonight that if such
resolutions wero passed they would be
illegal, and any attempt to bind the dis
trict delegates would be laughed at in
St. Louis.
The state committee refused to allow
tho protest of the Hearst supporters
that the caucuses In Lowell, which elect
ed Olney delegates, wore Illegal, but
granted credentials to two Hearst dele
gates In Chelsea, where Olney delegates
had been elected.
The candidates for tho Olney wing of
the state committee for dclegates-at-largo
were said tonight to be William A. Gas
ton, Mayor Patrick A. Collins, of this
city; William L. Douglass, of Brockton,
and Congressman Thayer, of Worcester.
It was" understood that those of tho
Hearst forces were: George Fred Wil
liams, William McNeill, Joseph A. Smith
and Charles A. Dean.
Tho convention will be called to order
by Congressman W. S. McNeary, chair
man of the Democratic State Committee.
John J. Flaherty, of Gloucester, will bo
selected for permanent chairman.
Lato tonight tho Hearst men sent a
committee to the state committee sug
gesting that places bo accorded the for
mer on the different convention commit
tees. Tho suggestion was accepted and
committees with two representatives of
tho Hearst faction on each were drawn
up. As one is a committee on resolu
tions, it is expected that a platform, will
be presented at tho convention. It had
been announced that no platform would
be adopted.
IS STRONGLY DEMOCRATIC.

quartet of young women sang "Watch
man, Tell Us of the Night."
Mrs. E. P. Geary led a question hour,
during which the convention discussed the
topic: "How shall we Interest more wom
en in our mission work?"
Mrs. E. T. Allen, whose experience and
success In foreign missionary wor.c have
made her opinion on such matters carry
groat weight, gave a short talk. In which
she said that it was better In enlisting the
Interest of new people to get them to
feel, an Interest In the people for whom
they are working rather than to give
them a yearly report of missionary sta
tistics to read.
"Makes them feel that the Chinese are
real people, with the same aspirations
and desires that you have," said Mrs.
Allen, "and that they are not a different
set of beings. Most of all will say, make
people believe that the Chinese and Jap
anese are real live men and women and
thy will become as much interested as
they are in art classes and other intel
lectual pursuits."
Mrs. Maint of the First Church,, in So-J

der veil was worn with this dress, which
had an embroidered Jacket of purple vel
vet and numerous chains and bangles.
At the south end of the parlor Mrs.
Allen had arranged a Persian room, com
plete with handsome rugs and cushions.
Several Orientals in gay costumes served
tea here after the Persian manner, and
Mrs. Allen chatted with them In their own
language. While tea was being served
.every one was puzzled by a strange cry
that filled the chapel, until It was cx
plainea that Mrs. Allen's Persians were
giving the Muezzin call to prayer.
Dr. J. Hunter Wells spoke at the even
ing session, giving his experience In Corea
as a missionary and physician. The story
was intensely interesting, not only to
those who had labored abroad In the mis
sionary field, but to those who remain at
home. The opening of a hospital SxS and
an operating-room Sxl6, In which he treat
ed hundreds of surgical cases, and the
way In which he gradually gained the con
fidences of the natives by being success
ful in his operations, read like a book of
fiction. But this, being, as the children
say, "a story which is really true," proved
of but greater interest. The marvelous
attendance at church service and prayer
meetings seemed to agitate the ministers
present to an alarming degree, and was
the means of eliciting a speech from Dr.
Hill, who presided. In his happiest vein.
Mrs. . T. Allen also spoke on Persia.

left the quarters of the clairvoyant, that
they had left their overcoats In another
room, and that the fortune-teller had ac
cess to them. She found the pockets
stuffed full of papers. Judge Marks pock
ets wero filled with legal documents, and
of course this told of his career as a law
yer. Mr. Craib's pocket disclosed the story
of his future with the same certainty, and
a nicely scented note with a picture told
of the coming wedding. The papers In
Mr. Million's pocket told of his invest
ments and their probable outcome. The
overcoats with all these papers had been
ransacked, but in returning the papers the
clairvoyant got them, badly mixed, and
put them back In the pockets of the wrong
overcoats.
BOYEB'S LAST RECITAL.
Chorus Renders "Seven Last Words"
In Admirable Manner.
Soprano solo, "O All Ye Who Travel": bari
tone and tenor solos, with chorus, "Father,
Forgive Them"; duet for tenor and baritone,
with chorus, "Verily, Thou Shalt Be"; solos
for soprano, tenor and baritone, with chorus,
"See, O Woman"; barltono solo, "God, My
Father"; chorus and sfelos for tenor and bari
tone, "I Am Athlrst"; tenor solo and chorus,
"Father. Into Thy Hands"; solos for soprano,
tenor and baritone, with chorus, "And With
a Loud Voice Jesus Cried"; prayer, "Christ,
We Do All Adore Thee."
The last recital this season by the
Boyer chorus, under the direction of
William H. Boyer, took place last night
at the First Congregational Church, when
a most satisfactory rendition of Theodore
Dubois' sacred cantata, "The Seven Last
Words of Christ," was given before a
large audience. The accompaniment was
furnished by a selected orchestra, assisted
by Miss Leonora Fisher, organist. A
really creditable volumo of tone was dis
played by the chorus of about 50 voices,
and tho singing was marked by that
promptness of attack, vigor and delicacy
of shading which punctuates tho wonc of
the Boyer chorus. The sopranos carried
off chief honors, but the basses were not
far behind them. As usual the tenors
were scarce, but creditably sang the lines
allotted to them.
The soloists were: Miss Lytle, soprano;
J. W. Belcher, tenor, and Dom J. Zan,
baritone. Miss Lytic added to her repu
tation as a finished, artistic soloist, and
her voice is growing in strength and mu
sical value. Mr. Belcher had to sing a
difficult role, the reading and interpreta
tion of which was no small feat, and he
deserves credit for his fine expression and
phrasing. Mr. Zan has rarely sung in
this city a solo more suited to his voice
than "God, My Father," and he displayed
a delightful richness of tone. The male
voice chorus in tho "Fifth Word" was ex
cellent, and tho best effect was obtained
In the second last number by the chorus
In representing tho effect of chaos. This
work was really striking in sudden tone
color, and was ably helped by W. T.
Pangle, of tho Marquam Theater, who
TtmnriErpfl thA praih-ila inI rimmc? tri,.
finest, most reverent effect was the un-!
accompanied chorus singing of the last
number. It had the effect of a benediction.
It is to be hoped that the Boyer choir wili
keep together, under tho direction of Its
talented director, nnd will be stronger
than ever when it meets In tho Fall.
