Murphy surrendered to Hryan. The surrender was unconditional, and moans that the Democratic chieftain will keep hands off In New Y"tli this fall. The fruits of the; victory go to Connors. He 1 d recognized as tho ral leader of the J emocrats of that state and he will have all of the asslstancn possible from ryan and Murk in making the fight there for the vote of the state. And he und Mac-It will select the state ticket to be nominated this fall, without any outside dictation. HegotUtlns; the Trety. When Bryan arrived here this morn ing he had five names that he sug gested to the suh-commlttee as candi dates for the position of national chair man. They were Mack, Judge Wade of Jowa, John ll. Atwood of Kansas, John K. Lamb of Indiana, and Thomas E. Kyarf of Wisconsin. With the excep tion of Mack, all were quickly put out or nip running. Mack was Hryan's first choice, but it was made plain to the candidate that there was serious objection to him from lils own state. In Erie county, where i lives, ne una rougiit Conners, and his opposition was of suoh a nature that It lind spilt the party there. Then Mur ldiy of Tammany did not care for htm, because he had refused In the past to work with the New York city organi-i ration and hnd held out two years' Htralnst the nomination of William R. Hearst for governor by the Democrats. The direct charge was made In the conference, which was held behind closed and guarded doors, that if Mack was given the position the eastern Dem ocrats would get together and oppose the election of the natlonnl ticket. Mack indignantly denhd this. It is a lie,1' lie declared. "I am satisfied that I can secure the Indorse ment of the leaders of the party in my own state if 1 am given an opportun ity." Mack Talks to Connors. On motion of Committeeman Firady of Oklahoma the matter was held open nnd Mack went to the long distance leiepii'ine. tie canea Connors at Buf y.ilo and after a time succeeded In get ting him. What passed between the two men Is a closely guarded secret, but leading Democrats here allege that Mack made his peace with his arch-polltlcal enemy. Then Murphy was called. This con ference was unsuccessful. It was finally broken off and Mack reported to Ifryan that the leader of Tammany was not satisfied. Other names were then presented for the position, among D'em being Dsnlel J Campvi of Michi gan and idlie James of Kentucky. There (United Press Leased Wir.
