THE OMAHA T)ATLV HKK: firVTtW. JLTLY U moo. TIDE TURNS TO KANSAS CITY Dolegatcs and Others on Hand for National Democratic Convention. BIG HALL IS SURE TO BE QUITE READY City Alrrnily IIfkIiik Anniiinr Until Aiionriiiice . iiiriiirlnte to Ou eimlon, While n t liei-lni 'I'liriiiiKH CriMttl Hotel'. KANSAS CITV, Mo., Juno 30. Thcro Is a beating of hammers ami rasping of saws day and night nt (ho big liall where tho demo cratic national convention Ih to be held. As fust as one portion of tho strticturo Is fin Inhcd the decorator pounco upon It and with bunting, rings and familiar pictures of dem ocratic leaders set In tho national coat of arms so cover tho walls and spaces that tho dclcgntes who usscmhlc on tho Fourth will sec all tho colors nnd emblems of the national holiday surrounded with evidenced of democratic celebration. Somo fears tiro expressed by now arrivals regarding the possible failure to have the ball ready In time, but tho directors smil ingly say that everything will bo ready when Chairman Jones of the national committee culls tho convention to order at noon next Wednesday. Tho decorations on tho outside of the state delegation hradquurtors are not yet In place save In n few Instances, but by Monday there will bo a great change. As It rains hero nearly every day and night nt this season, decorations would soon bo disfigured and they are thereforo being saved In order that they may bo frcBh when tho delegates come. About tho hotels, Irwcvcr, thsre are briskness nnd throngs. A number cf the old lino democrats, who havo been going to conventions for years, us well as younger men who belong to tho "now democracy," have arrived and taken up the work In hand. Roomers for several vlco presidential candidates aro here and arc making conild erable noise. Delegates aro dropping In from different sections ami tho meeting of tho committee on convention nrningcmeiitti nttractcd nulta a knot around the national commlttco head quarters. Tho most Interesting topic and that which gives tho democrats hero the mcst concorn Is the promised rontest over tho 16 to 1 plank of tho platform. Men like National Chairman Jones, William J. Slono and other western and southern leaders, upheld as they nrc by tho action of western and southern democratic state conventions, seem to think that n slmplo reaffirmation of tho Chicago platform Is all that Is neces sary. Such action under ordinary circum stanced would be apt to bo accepted as tho probablo action of the national convention, but tho reports from Lincoln Indicate, that 16 to 1 muBt bo specifically declared, If tho vlows of Mr. Hrynn aro to bo followed. Thero aro so many delegates who deslro to carry out tho wishes of tho coming nom Inco that the clash between them nnd thoso holding different vlows Is likely to b- spirited and tho rcmilt somewhat doubtful. Chairman Jones Bald that the declaration on silver should not vary the breadth of a hair from that contained In tho Chicago platform and ho thinks a rrnfllrmatlon Is lutnclent. There are somo other featurcfl of tho plat form that may not bo agreed upon nt once expansion, tho present Chinese situation and tho Coeur d'Aleno riot. Threo vlco presidential possibilities came In today tho chairman of the silver repub lican commlttco, who was named by thepop. iillsts for vlco president, Charles A. Towne, Renjnmln V. Shlvely, ex-member of congress from Indiana, nnd William Sulzer, member of cougrcss from Now York. Mr. Sulzer ar rived late In tho afternoon after spending a day or two at Lincoln In conference with Mr. Llrynn. Mr. Towne modestly outlined tho reasons which prompted him to bo u candidate. Mr. Shlvely said ho was not a candidate, while his friends declared that he would bo presented by Indlnnn. No one Is yet ablo to make prcd'ctlona that any ono of these threo men will bo selcctei. Thero Is yet uncertainty us to whether Mr. Bryan will come to Kansas City nfter tho convention makes tho nomination. No one now hero Is authorized to speak for him. It hns been said thnt tho convention can roncludo all Its business In two days and tho third day be dovoted to giving n reception to Mr. nrynn and listening to a speech from him. This would bo nn nttractlvo program, especially for Kansas City, ns tho appearance of Mr. llrynn would doubtless nttract ns many people ns tho opening day. Although tho natlonnl committee has tnken no action, tho understanding Is that Mayor IlOBo of Milwaukee will bo tho temporary chairman and James I), ltlchardson of Ten nessee, tho minority lender In tho house of reprcsentutlvcs, tho permanent chairman, liny Stutn Ilelcunlc Start Wont. nOSTON, Juno 30.

So far as tho natlonnl democratic committee la In formed, the convention will have four con tests to decide. Only ono of theso con troversies Involves a stntc delegation. Two of tho others refer to the representation ol territories nnd the other to the District of Columbia. Tho state contest Is over the representation from Montana nnd tho two territories Involved nre Oklahoma nnd In dian Territory. Tho greatest Interest centers In the Mon tana contention, because it Is n continuance of the Clark-Daly feud, which found such bitter expression during the last session of congress In the fight over tho scat of W. A. Clnrk In tho United States senate. Senator Clark will head the delegation bearing his name, while tho Daly delegation Is led by Hon. Martin Maglnnls, who received Gov ernor Sml'.h's nppoin ' tent ns senator, us Mr. Clark received the appointment of Lieu tenant Governor Sprlgg In the nbsenco of tho governor. In this contest both tho Clark faction and tho Daly faction claim regulurlty. They held separate Btato conventions and both were held In Ilutte on the same day. Some technicalities uro Involved In tho case, but It Is essentially n fight far supremacy In the party In tho stato and It bids fair to bo very bitterly contested. In tho case of tho District of Columbia tho contenders aro the Norrls and Holmcad factions. The regular delegation Is headed by National Committeeman James L. Norrls, whllo William Holmead Is a member of tho contesting delegation. Holmead'R fol lowers nllegc gross fraud In the election of tho regulars. In the Oklahoma contest tho contenders nrc tho Slpcs and Jacobs factions. Tho Indian Territory controversy Is based upon u fight over the membership of the na tional committee. This position Is now held by Thomas M. Marcum, who heads ono del egation, composed of himself, nnother being headed by Dr. Wolverton. Both dcUga tlons were chosen by separate territorial conventions held In Ardmore on Juno 11 and both claim to be regular. The national committee will sit next Mon day to decide which delegation in each of these cases shall be given seats In tho tem porary organization of the convention.

Among tho arrivals tonight were two New York demo crats of prominence, Judgo Van Wyck and Congressman Sulzer. Mr. Sulzer enmo direct from a conference with Mr. Dryan nt Lin coln nnd Immediately upon his urrlval went to his headquarters at tho Savoy hotel. Thero ho was scon surrounded by a throng of his friends and n number of newspaper cor respondents. He did not hcstltate to express confidence In his own nomination for the vlco presidency. "Tho Now York delegation will control tho situation," ho said, "and I am satisfied that It will support mo." He declined to dlvulgo tho purport of his Interview with Mr. Bryan, saying: "You can draw your own conclusions. I havo been to see Mr. Bryan and I am satisfied that the convention will rcafllrm tho principles of tha Chicago platform. 1 express that us my own opinion nnd tho Inference Is natural." Judge Van Wyck declined to answer In ill rect terms tho question as to whether ho thought the platform would contain a dec laration for tho eolnnge of ellvor'at tho ratio of 1G to 1, but replied by saying there wcro tnoru important micstluns to which tho con vention should glvo Its attention. "We nro entering Into a new era of our affairs," ho snld. "We havo never beforo faced so Important a crisis as that which Is now approaching. To my mind tho question of our present tendency toward Imperialism and tho method of dealing with the trusts requlro our first attention nnd I think tho convention will bo inclined to give these subjects the promlnenco they demand." Asked If Now York had n candidate for tho vlco presidency, he replied that Now York was coming to the convention In nn entirely unselfish nnd patriotic attitude, ndd Ing that the Umpire stnto had nothing to usk of tho convention but wise and moderate ac tion.

"I really think that I cun bring greater strength to tho ticket thnn any other man who has been mentioned up to tho present time," ho said, "nnd ns such I consider my self tho logical candidate. It must be re membered that back of mo Is tho full strength of tho populist and silver ropub Mean parties and while It Is truo that a con sldcrablo part of this will go to tho doroo crutlo ticket anyhow, I am ablo to carry Its full voto and this, I do not, think at the prcs ont time uny other mnn can do. Tho silver ro publicans will ask that thero bo In the dem ocratlc platform a specific declaration In favor of silver nt 10 to 1.

"I am frequently asked the question who, In my Judgment, would bo tho proper per son for tho democrats to nomlnato for vlco president. In view of tho nomination by the republicans of Mr. Hoosovelt." Said he: "Evidently such ti nomination must be offset by a picturesque character, If It Is to be squarely met; therefore, I would suggest William F. Cody, otherwise known as 'Uuf falo Dill,' Ho Is a better man, both phys ically nnd mentally. Ho has commanded more Rough Riders, Is a better wing shot; Is a better bareback rider.
