Interment was made in the Greenwood cemetery. "Mother" Coleman will indeed be missed by the scores of friends who knew her as well as by those of her own kindred. EN SERIOUS CONDITION. Prom Saturday's Lttxily The many friends in this city of Dr. C. A. Marshall will regret very much to learn that the doctor is again in the hospital being placed in the Wise Memorial hospital the past week as the result of new com plications in his illness that has made necessary this step. Dr. Marshall had gone from the Method ist hospital to the' home of his daughter. Mrs. Pettys and was doing nicely when he was affected by a number of carbuncles on his neck that were quite serious to his weak ened condition and age and on advice of his physicians he was taken to the Wise Memorial hospital and is being cared for by Dr. Roeder, a specialist and who has performed two opera tions on the doctor in hopes of giv ing him relief. The patient is doing just as well as possible altho his condition is still very serious and will be some time before the out come of the case can be determin ed. He will have to remain at the uospuai at least two weeks even Hitchcock Says People Expressed a Preference for McAdoo by a 9,000 to 1.800 Vote. j Convention Hall. New York, June 2 7. Governor Charles W. Bryan will J not receive the unanimous vote of I Nebraska's delegation to the conven i tion on the first ballot tomorrow or whenever it comes, it developed to- day. i Former Senator Gilbert M. Hitch I cock will cast tho dissenting vote, j Hitchcock will rast hi3 vote for I William G. McAdoo, he announced ' tonight. "I am voting for McAdoo because jl believe that the fact that 9,000 votes were cast for him upon the ballots at the primary while only 1.S00 wrote in Governor Bryan's name constitutes an instruction for McAdoo and not for the governor." I Hitchcock said. "I am doing what I j think the people of Nebraska intend that I should." Hitchcock declared in conferences he has had with Governor Bryan he has frankly informed the latter that, in his opinion. McAdoo and not Bryan was the choice of Nebraska democracy. "A vote written upon a ballot Is certainly as much a vote and as en titled to recognation as a vote mark ed before a name that is printed on the ballot." Hitchcock said. The vote, therefore, on Nebraska's first ballot will be Bryan, 15; Mc Adoo, 1. Forecast of Ballots The Nebraska delegation will cast between twelve and fourteen votes for McAdoo as soon as the compli mentary vote to Governor Bryan is concluded, discussions with members of the delegation revealed tonight. Former Congressman Dan Stephens of Fremont guessed there would be "at least twelve votes.' Lee Herd man of Omaha thought that there would be three for Governor Smith, two for some unknown candidate and eleven for McAdoo. Harry Fleharty, who is not a member of the delega tion, but who is a guest of the dele erution at the convention, does not think that there would be a single vote for Smith. FUNERAL OF MRS.
