Nebraskan Will not Accept Min
nesotaMan
As
Running: Mate
Under any Circumstances
GRAY SAYS HE WON'T ACCEPT
Therefore It Is All But Conceded That
Vice Preeidential Nomination Will Go
to New York, Which Has Several
Candidates.
iDenver, July 1.—The prlnclpol event
In connection with the forthcoming
'democratic national convention today
was the arrival of Frederick B. Lynch,
of Minnesota, as representatlve-in
chlef of the presidential boom of
Governor Johnson. Lynch's coming
had the effect of causing a renewal of
the discussion of the possibilities of
the nomination of Johnson for the
vice presidency, rather than for the
presidency. It was oonceded on all
hands, privately, even by supporters for
Johnson, that his nomination for the
first position was problematical, but
his friends were staunch in their de
termination to have his name presented
to the convention for the presidency,
even in the face of the possibility of
ills defeat, and most of them were
quite as positive In the declaration
that he wotild not accept second place,
even If It should be tendered him.
No Running Mate for Bryan.'
The discussion of the Minnesota
governor's chances for the vice presi
dency, while quite general among the
^uninformed, waa not indulged in ser
iously by those who were, in accord
with Inner-Bryan circles. They did
not accept his name with favor, and It
may be announced even' thus fir In
advance of the meeting of-the con
vention,. tba* a Minnesota man will
not fie- Bryan's running mate in the
event Of the Nebraskan'a nomination.
Bryan's most intimate friends and sup
porters are quite determined on that
situation. While they do not openly
criticize Johnson's candidacy, they are
very evidently displeased with the fact
that he entered the race, and it is even
-intimated that Bryan himself would
not favorably consider the Johnson
candidacy for the yice presidency.
Judge Gray Acceptable.
On the other hand, it is known that
Judge Gray will be In every way ac
ceptable to Bryan as a candidate for
second place,, and the position Is gen
erally conceded to him if he will ac
cept It. If the nomination does not
go
to
Gray. New York will probably
claim it, and in that contingency. New
Yorkers who are on the ground, assert
that the position will be awarded to
that state If tlhe delegation can agree
upon a candidate.
Other Possible Candidates.
Outside of Gray and Johnson, those
mostly mentioned as possible candi
dates under certain contingencies are
Lieutenant Governor Chandler, Fran
cis Burton (Harrison, John B. Stanch
fleld, Martin W. Littleton, Norman F.
Mack of New York, and Governor
Glenn, of North Carolina. The head
quarters of Judge Gray were thrown
open today. Joslah Marvel, of Wlll
mington, Del., and R. J. Beamish, of
(Philadelphia, who were in charge
yesterday, Caused numerous lithographs
of tihelr candidates to be placed around
the leading hotels, and they were early
today the only pictures of any candi
date to be seen in the city, except in
the headquarters of the national com
mittee, where the pictures of an the
presidential aspirants are displayed
conspicuously. Marvel declared that
Gray was not a candidate for any
thing but the presidency.
Will Do Little Tuesday.
After meeting and perfecting tem
porary organisation next Tuesday, the
democratic convention will adjourn for
the day out of respect to the memory
of former President Cleveland, If the
present plans of the committee on ar
rangement are carried Into effect. It Is
believed adjournment can be taken in
this way without interfering with the
progress of the proceedings of the
convention and at the same time en
able the convention to pay a proper
degree of respect for the ex-president.
The committee is planning so that the
convention can proceed' with the bus
iness, and contemplates the completion
of the work of the convention within
three days.
GRAY WOULD NOT ACCEPT.
Has No More Longing for Vice Pres
idency Than Presidency.
Wilmington, Del,, July 1—In reply
to a question from the Associated
Press, Judge Gray this morning stated
that he had Just sent a telegram to
the New York Evening Journal, as
follows:
"I have your telegram, saying that
It is stated positively that I will ac
cept the vice presidential nomination,
and asking whether this is true. As I
liaye repeatedly said that I would not
consent to belng placed in nomination
as a candidate for the presidency, I
now say with equal emphasis, that I
will under no circumstances consent
to nomination for the vice presidency."

Judicial Convention at Council Bluffs
Takes .113 Ballots Without Result
Candidates Standing Pat.
to
Times-Republican,
Council Bluffs. July 1.—When the
judicial convention reconvened at 9:30
this morning several of the candidates
and their friends felt quite sure of
victory after a few ballots, but the
record which was made in this district
wihen It required ninety-ballots to nom
inate Judge Wheeler was broken before
'the convention had 'been In adjorned
ordered and taken until the monotony
of the proceedings threatened to drive
the delegates into an agreement, but
one candidate was as solid as another
and at 12 o'clock 102 ballots had been
cast with no result A recess was then
taken to 1:30 p. m. The vote stood on
the last ballot as follows: Arthur, 25
Cook, 13 Rockafellow, 22 Beeson, 33
CuJlison, 16. TJiis was very little
change from the opening ballot, and
neither candidate was anywhere near
the required number of fifty-five to
nominate. Unless something happens
to break the deadlock there Is no tell
ing when it will be broken.
One feature of the balloting thi3"
morning, was the near approach of
Arthur to a nomination on the seven
ty-ninth ballot, when he received for
ty-five votes, or within ten of a nom
ination. The other candidates suf
fered a mild and momentary chill, but
recovered when, on the following bal
lot, when Arthur dropped back to
nearly his normal and earlier vote.
The bne hundredth and thirteenth
ballot showed: Arthur, twenty-four
Beesori, thirty-four Cook, seventeen
Cullison, fourteen, and Rockafellow,
twenty-two.
The delegates from Pottawattamie
county, which has no candidate, added
variety to the voting this afternoon,
by casting the county's twenty-eight
votes for first one and then another of
the candidates, several times bringing
them close to the coveted prize.

taken up the Audubon society's war
against the "Merry Widow" hat.
"This hat is the worst omnivorous
creation ithat the milliners have yet
given us.' she said at a recent dinner.
"The number of things required to
trim the hat is frightening. Its appe
tite. in fact, reminds me of a police
court episode.
"A detective was testifying in the
case of a woman shoplifter whom he
had -arrested In her bedroom.
'And, your honor,' he said, 'when I
told her the charge, she turned her
back to me and swallowed a purse, six
suits or silk underwear, a silver can
dlestick. a chafing dish and——
""Rubbish! Are you crazy?' the
magistrate interrupted.
'Excuse me. What I mean to
say, your honor,' explained the detec
