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.

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

CABINET PLACE FOB JOHNSON
Bryan Planning to Conciliate Minne
sota Man's Friends.
DENVER, July 6. 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

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.

Towne except two, who favored John
Mitchell, the labor leader. "The Okla
homa delegation, while taking no for

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

land, shall not be National committee

riage to his hotel, declared he bad no in
terest in the talk of his being chairman

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.

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

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

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

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.
As a result' of the talk, the publicity
