WILL FIGHT ENDORSEMENT OF CAMPBELL Bexar County Delegation Will Make an Attempt to Pique the Chief Executive. WOULD THUS KILL CHARTER Caucus Is Held This Morning and Program for the Dele gation Is Mapped Out. Special Dispatch. Galveston, Tex., Aug. 9. —At a caucus of the Bexar county delegation held at headquarters, room 270, Tremont hotel, this morning, it was unanimously agreed to fight on the floor of the con vention any endorsement of the admin istration of Governor Campbell. This is the only indication of ac rimony in the convention that is as yet apparent and on the surface. This looks like a Callaghan scheme to en rage the governor and if possible to pique Campbell to such a degree that he will withhold the commission gov ernment bill, providing a new charter for San Antonio, from the legislature. . Judging from Governor Campbell s usual promptness in accepting a chal lenge, this is apt to have an effect just the contrary of that desired. The gov ernor, for the slight put upon him by the Bexar deflation may pay his re spects to Callaghan and his men, by sending in the new charter and also urging its passage. The caucus agreement is that Bexar will vote No” on any proposal what ever to endorse the Campbell adminis tration. If necessary, the delegation will fight even a non-committal refer ence to Governor Campbell and his rule of the state. The caucus talk is that the Bexar delegation will not sit silent, even if Campbell is praised for his “patriotism.” Birkhead Is Leader. Claude V. Birkhead has been author ized to fight for this Callaghan policy on the convention floor.' H E. Hildebrand presided at the cau cus, Joseph F. Ryan, acting as secre tarv. Claude V. Birkhead was chosen as chairman of the Twenty-fourth sena torial delegation. The caucus voted to insist on a con vention pronouncement against the quart law, the 10-mile from a university law and all the other Wriedve laws submitted to the legislature under the terms of the governor’s message. Resolutions were adopted, too, to fight any effort in the convention to urge the approval of the Randell lution, introduced in congress. This resolution is construed as an attack on Senator Bailey direct, as it fcrbids any senator or member of the house from accepting a fee from a public service corporation. Three to Be Honored. Three delegates from Bexar county are to be appointed on the convention committee. H. E. Hildebrand will be on the committee on platform md reso lutions. Captain Von Hagen, ot Fred ericksburg, will be on the committee on credentials and basis of representation. The third person to be honored ss E. U. Henry to be on the committee on per manent organization. The absence of Bryan Callaghan in the delegation is a matter of much re mark One report is that Callaghan is coming to Galveston by water from Mustang island. The bulk of the dele gation arrived here over the Southern Pacific about 8 o’clock. About seventy were in the party, but th re was no band. At the station nobody was on hand to welcome the Bexar delegation, excepting those delegates who had l.rst arrived. Fight Against Barker. A hot fight has developed against Bob Barker of San Antonio, for secre tary of the convention. Barker is now •■hief elerk of the house at Austin. Abe Gross of McLennan county, is out for 'he office amd seems to have an inside cinch on the honor. It is likely a com- " Call 82, either phone, to send a boy after your old shoes.

Xernv, the ageu wall street speculator, who with the firm of Pop per and Sternbach of New York has been sued for $750,000 damages on a charge of conspiracy in connection with the disastrous collapse of the Hocking Valley Pool. Suit is brought by mem bers of the defunct brokerage firm of Lathrop, Haskins & Co., who went to the wail following the Hocking collapse last January. They charge that Keene, through the brokerage house of Popper and Sternbach, deliberately planned their ruin in order to increase his prof its. promise may be reached, Barker be ing named as temporary secretary and Gross as permanent secretary of the convention. Bexar is out, as usual, for a good many honors. For instance, Claude V. Birkhead is to second the nomination of Colquitt, speaking for southwest Texas. Moreover, Bheb Williams of Paris, the Colquitt man offered for chairman of ihe state democratic convention, has as:ur?d Joseph F. Ryan of San Antonio, he will be secretary of the committee. The headquarters will be where the chairm n lives, of course, but still the branch headquarters will still be in Bexar county. Distribute Advertising. As the convention is gathering, a dozen men are distributing throughout the great convention . little circular reading: “Won’t you come over to our townf” “San Antonio, Bexar county,” “What we have,” “The banner Col quitt county,” “Best climate on earth,” “Beautiful drives,” “Biggest and best furnished hotels west of Chi cago.” Kyan and Birkhead say it is already asssured that San Antonio wi.l get either the delegate convention or the state convention of the democratic party two years from now.
