Govornor Iladloy replied to the
declarations of Mayor Kreismann
and Chairman Morris in this connec
tion by asserting that ho had not
boon a party to any so-called "gentle
men's agreoment." Tho govornor
assorted that throughout tho bitter
fight which preceded tho formal
opening of tho convontiou ho had
refused to attempt to deliver the
votes of Roosevelt delegates on any
proposition.

one-half vote, finally olected by the
