Show WHO WILL BE B NOMINATED 7 fOR VICE PRESIDENT I Kansas City Mo Jul July e mo t important development In the Ice pres I situation tonight wa was th the an announcement announcement that when th the rol roll of states is cled called tomorrow for the nomination of candidates for vIce president Ala Alabama Alabama bama wi will yIeld to ta Florida and or R It D McDonald cDonald of that state wi will place Elot Eliot Danfort Danforth of New York In nomi nomination nation This became kon known durIng the heat of the convention to tonight tOnight night and wa was discussed by quie quite I a number of leading men In different del delegations Another was the un Unquestioned questioned popularity of D HIll for the place a as manifested In the con convention and the desire In Inmany inmany many Quarter for his selection The situation however Is complicated by by t the he fact that New York stands In the the way of the selection of either Hi Hill or Dan Danforth forth Corth Hi Hill does not want the th nomina nomination ton tion and will take measures to prevent his nomination Danforth does want wanti i it and be nominated J If New NewYork NewYork York would present him But con convention venton wl will not force a candidate upon New York against the wl will of the dele delegation gation from that state This probably wl prevent the movement for Dan Danforth Danforth forth from amounting to very ery much I It ItIs is pretty generl generally fel felt that this move movement movement ment was for the purpose of complimenting Hill and rebuking Croker for the manner In which Hi Hill Ann his candidate Danforth were treated under te the direction of Mr Croker But the large state elega tons will not lend themselves to t any such proposition for they are seeking g ga a New ew York candidate New NewYork NewYork York present wih with seriousness and who wi will ticket The pat past two day days have been soc so on wih with the platon platform that little or orno orno no progress ha has ben been made by andl dates for tor viCe president So much terest developed from the contest ov over the silver plank tat that the delegates did not have time to consider r the mater matter Meanwhile there ther has Jeen een the d vel of the Stevenson boom I It is however of a passive character the belef belief being general that he woud would m make ke a safe candidate the only mn who can beat Towne Friends of Towne ar are hard and hope that the peculiar si sit situation regarding the other candidates wi will give him the nomination CONFERENCE COMTE J That the convention is taking the mater matter into consideration is shown b by the adoption toda today of a reso resolution luton lution for a of I It was wel well understood that a confer conference ence wih with the Pop lists m meant ant but butone butone one thing tat that tey they wo would ld insist upon Towne ad and w uld agree to no other candidate Men like George Fred Williams anti and Senator TUman Tillman who were among the vitor victors In securing the Ii 16 to 1 plank in the platform are re t do doing Ing al all they can to bring about the nomination of Towne Towne Senator Hi Hill tonIght wa was aked asked I whether he ha had heard of the plan to attempt the nomination of Mr Dart Dan DanI forth He said I If such a ting thing Is I contemplated as a vindication of me mei i it is without any suggestion of mine Mr Ir Danforth to my mind would make a good running mate for Mr Bran Branand Bryan and I think would be to Mr Bran Bryan but forcing him on the COt coir venton would be te the lat last thing I would think of ofIs UIs Is there a proposition on foot to toI bring Mr name before re tho the e convention was asked Yes s so I have heard I have not I I made up my mind about i it but shall before morning Of coure course I cannot control other delegations but I shall I see them and talk i it over Senator Hm Hill had many conferences In his rooms durIng the evening A delegation from Illinois caled called on him himat himat at 1 11 and aked asked him to support Mr lr Stevenson for the vice presidency I It is tat that he promised the delegation strength he had with the delegates outside of New York he would lend to that purpose Later Mr Danforth cled called and State Corn Com ChaIrman Frank Cam Campbell Eu Eugene Eugene gene Wood Frederick Shrub and John Carlisle urged that he withdraw Mr Ir was a rather curious one He claimed that he could ge get the votes of Virginia Florda Florida and Alabama and that there wa was possibility o of securing the votes of New NewYork York He was told that Mr Kelar Kellar had the votes of New York and York California wih with a prospect of more I and tat that a defeat wa was liable Hable to place him In a bad position I It wa was urged on the part of the friends of Governor Hi Hill that the defeat of Mr Mc Danfort Danforth would be credited as another defeat of Mr Hi Bill Mr frIends In the conference held just to the contrary They claimed that if Mr Ir Danforth re received received more votes tan than Mr Kel Kell it would demonstrate Mr Hills domina domination lon tion over Croker Mr Hl Hill was urged to take up Mr cause but up to the hour of midnight he had not determined to todo todo do so In fact when approached Indi by the Associated Press he said that he believed Mr Stevenson would be the nominee of the conven tim I It is a fact that Mr Stevenson It h the candidate of the conservative element represented by lIr Mr Hi Hill I It is the tho b of many tonight that Mr Danforth will not be a candidate and that Mr Stevenson may be the con serY the tive nomInee I It Is further be beleve leve that that Mr Towne wi will be the he rd rad i f sliver sUver favorite but it Is generally tat that Mr Ire Stevenson wI will come near getting the nomination I IN PAT PARTY The committees appointed by Demo Democrats crt and siver silver Republicans t to confer upon the nomination ot of vice candidate hed held their frt
