Tho N'lnth district has been tho storm
center, of tba convention tonight. Tho
CummlnB men of the district held a caucus
and decided they would support Cummins
without regard to Instructions, They de
cided that thoy would glvo Cummins fifty
six votes on the first ballot and seventy
olght on tho second. This without any
regard ns to whether Hcrrlott remains In
tho race. They will notify Hcrrlott In thn
morning of their determination, but are un
decided whether they will offer tn support
him for lieutenant governor and ask him to
wlthdrnw from the race for governor. They
Justify their action on tho ground that Hor
ilott has sacrificed his principles and mado
a dral with his bitterest cnomles to beat
Cummins. They claim he got many of his
votes on tho theory that hp would do noth
ing to Injuro the causo of CummlnB,
Unto tonight James Wilson, one of Herri
oil's managers, said: "Pressure has been
brought to hear to get Hcrrlott to with
draw. Ho will not do It under nny clrcum
stuuecs. And ho will not be a candidate
for nontenant govornor."
Wobh llycrs of Ilnrlan, lender of tho Cum
mins men In tho Ninth district, said: "Wo
control sixty voles In the Ninth district.
Wo can vote them any tlrun If we want to,
That Is not saying wo will do It. Cummins
will have ninety votes In tho Ninth district
If Hcrrlott Is out of the way."

Tho I'ottnwattnmlo midnight caucus was
for tho purpose, as one monibcr put it,
to sco whether they would agree to, stay
by their agreement. After uearly an
hour'S' discussion tho conclusion reached
was that tho thirty-four votes should go
to Herrlott, as per stipulation, unless lie
Hhould lose thirty votes out of the Ninth
district cpuutles ,buforc Po'Uawattamle. was
renched. In case of such a' loss tho ogreo
mcLt to support. Hcrrlott is to fall and
soventoen votes go to Cumralns, whllo tho
other seventeen are frco to go where they
please. This means tbut tho agreement had
been repudiated and that Cummins will
have half tho delegation, becauso moro
than thirty havu given notlco of leaving
Herrlott.
Ilrrrliitt SOU Stick.
At 12 o'clock tonight a long conference
closed between a committee of Cummins
men from the Ninth district and Hcrrlott
nnd tho Guthrie county delegation, after
which Mr. Herrlott said: "I am still a
candldato for governor."
Ho lufudcd to make nny further state

Tho situation In regard to other candi

Two candidates for lleutennnt governor are
active, Dave Urnnt of Clinton, who served
In the house the last session, In quite con
fident of success. Ilrant has a wide ac
quaintance In the state. His competitor
Is W. II. Klcmme of Wlnnlshlrk county,
who was also In the house. Klcmme has
but little acquaintance except In north
eastern Iowa. There Is Bome expectation
that onn of tho defeated candidates for
governor will bo selected ns tho candldato
for second place. All of tho candidates
for governor declare they' will not accept
any other place.
The contest for railroad commissioner will
bo settled on one ballot. Wclcomo
Mowry, tho present member, has not the
united support of his district, 4m t his
chief claim Is that he seeks rcnomlnntlon
for a second term and has mado an nc

delegates, who abandoned their mnn and

Audubon. Cass, Montgomery, .Shelby and
Pottawattomle. They will bring to Cum
mlns an Increase of flfty-Blx votes on tho
first ballot and seventy-si on tho second.
When the members of tho conference
mot, a number of them nnnouncru ifcnt tho
arrangement entered Into yesn.j,f.v with tho
steering committee was not agreeable to
them nnd they did not like the looks of
things. They wanted Herrlott to ngrce to
a combination with tho Cummins men, but
he preferred to run his own campaign.
The delegates then onnounced that they In
tended to come out for Cummins.
The defection of Herrlott'H men Is con
sidered practically to settle the nomination
In favor of Cummins. His opponents con
coded to him 750 votes on tho first ballot,
while ho claims 791. Tho break tonight,
oven by the admission of his opponents,
gives him 828 on the second ballot, while
nccordlng to his own estimate he will
havo nt least S47 on tho first ballot and n
total of SS!) on tho second. Only S21 votes
arc necessary to choice.
Tho steering committee, notwithstanding
tho falling nway In Herrlott's vote, will
stick to Harrlman and make Its fight under
his name. Chairman McMillan of the
steering comniltteo said tonight that ho
still felt confident. Ho claimed that tho
tactics pursued by the Cummins faction in
forcing tho break from Hcrrlott would
prove n boomorang that would cost Cum
mins moro than ho had gained. "We shall
certainly control tho organization of tho
Convention," ho suld. "Thero Is no longer
any doubt ot that and tho report of tho
committee on credentials will bo sustained
by the convention. After we havo shown
that wo aro In control of the convention wo
can ngrco on who ahull be nominated."
At 11 o'clock tonight tho steering com
mittee, becoming doubtful of Its ability to
win with Harrlman, offered to glvo the
nomination 'to Congressman John S. I.ncoy
of the Sixth district. Tho congressman
agreed to consldor tho proposition, but it
is not ' bellovod he will accept. All tho
congressmen and orators of the stato havo
thuH fur' held aloof from the fight. Sen
ator Dolllver refused to Join in tho light
against Cummins and Congressman Hop
burn has refused to lead tho fight In the
convention against Cummins.
Nny llerrlott'n Out or It.
Chairman McMillan, of tho steering com
mittee, denied positively at 11:30 p. m. that
any tender of tho gubernatorial nomination
had been mado by bis committee to Con
gressman Lacey. Nolthor would It be of
fored to him. Mr. McMillan asserted: "Wo
will go before tho convention with the
names of Harrlman, Trowlnnnd Conger nnd
will mako the best of nlj of them that wo
possibly can. nnd In nur nnlnlnu vr .m
down Cummins. Herrlott will stick to tho
last, probably, without making a formal
withdrawal, but ho Is out of It."
If tho steering committee Is nblc to
make up tho permanent organization of the
convontlon It will place Congressman Hep
burn in the chair.
Hon. Oeorgo E. Roberts of Fort Dodge,
generally named as ultlmato chairman rf
tho committee on resolutions, was Inter
viewed this afternoon on tho matters to bo
treated In tho party platform to bo adopted
tomorrow. Mr. Roberts snid: "I do not bo
llcvo that the resolutions will Include any
rndlcal change In railroad taxation. The
platform, I believe, will be conservative
throughout and wil not depart materially
from tho ordinary platform. Asl'do from tho
railway taxation matter I look for few or
no dovlaUona from tho ordltinry resolu
tions." At mldnlRht Horrlott declared positively
that ho would not withdraw. Tho Cummins
people made him a formal offer of tho nee
end placo on the ticket, which ho refused,
saying he was a candidate for governor and
not lieutenant governor.
How to teat Cummins Is the question to
night. The strength of tho Pes Molncs
man hns Increased steadily throughout the
duy, and whllo neither ho nor his campaign
managers claim thai they will nominate
him on the first ballot, they assert with
gtcflt confldenco Hint they will havo n euro
thing on tho second ballot, and say that
the only reason why thoy do not nominate
'him on the first ballot Is because some of
the delegates that havo been Instructed for
other candidates utid aro at h.-art Cummins
men must havo tho privilege of casting at
liast ono ballot for thu man for whom they
had been Instructed.
The day did not pass without st-cis tireaks
In the Cummins ranks. The opposition took
four Humboldt county delegates from him.
It Is claimed by the members of the steering
committee that Is In charge ot tho cam
paign ngalnst Cummins that they will be
able to make further Inroads Into the Cum
mins strength beforo the meeting ot tho
convention tomorrow. On tho other hand,
Cummins has gained materially among tho
delegates that have not teen Instructed,
several of the counties assuring him that
they would coino to him In n body.

Tho unhappy men todny havo boon tho
members of the atcorlng committee Tho
stumbling block In tho way of harmony In
tho ranks of the nlllance hns been Her
rlott. He Insists that ho bo promised first
plnco by the nntl-Cummlns people and un
less ho Is granted this he will bolt tho alli
ance. Tho members of tho committee well
know that tho withdrawal of Mr. Herrlott
would leave them helpless against thu
Cummins' forces. Early today It was de
cided by the committee that In their opin
ion Harrlman was tho strongest man that
tho alliance could pick for their leader
nnd they proposed to unlto on him. Whun
this was brought to the curs of Herrlott
he cnld that he would have tho first place
on the ticket or none other that the com
mittee could offer. Tho Harrlman people
refused to listen to nny proposition Pillow
ing Herrlott tho first place and tho mem
bers of tho committee were forced to glc
over their plan of making an announce
ment of first choice.
4 'it in ill I ii n Tor Second t'holee,
Hcrrlott men to the number of ninety
have declared that they arc for Cummins
for second choice and that If Harrlman is
selected by tho committee they will go
for the Dcs Moines mall and practically
Insure his election.
Propositions Involving anything less than
tho first placo on tho ticket were mado to
Hcrrlott by tho steering committee, nnd ho
was taken up Into the mountain and shown
all the good things of tho earth, but he
could not bo moved. It was the first placo
with him or nothing. Ho could obtnln tho
second ptnrc on the ticket with nbsoluto
certainty by going over to the Cummins
people with his following, nnd ho might not

the candldato of the steering committee
for lieutenant governor.
Tho Cummins forces, with the exception
of some efforts made this morning tn break

not prove of much avail, havo not mado a

The lieutenant governorship has assumed
considerable Importance tonight because of
Uio prominence that it Is likely to cut In
relation to the gubernatorial nomination.
David Ilrnndt of Clinton hns made a strong
run for lieutenant governor and has gained
strength throughout tho day. Klemmo has
many followers, however. Late this after
noon the nnme of P. L. Prentls ot Ringgold
county was brought out as a candidate for
lieutenant governor. Ills namo was first
mentioned by the Cummins people moro

An official of the Selby Smelting works
made tho following statement to n repro
sentnltve of tho Associated Press regarding
the robbery:
"Tho robbers must have succeeded In
entering tho vault some time between mid
night nnd G o'clock this morning. They
entered the vault through n holo about thu
size of a manholo In n boiler, and the Indl
cations point to the fact that the robbers
have been working on the scheme for some
time. Over 150 holes were bored Into the
bottom of the vault nnd the workmanship
indicates that mechanics of moro thnn usual
ability superintended tho Job. The holes
wero bored to within nu hair's breadth of
tho surface and when tho proper tlmo
ennic the pinto wns forcod up, thus giving
tho robbers access to the vault. Tho
plotters first excavated a hole alongsldo the
building, directly in lino with tho vault.
Thn work of cxcnvatlng must have taken
sometime nnd at tho end of each nlght'B
work for the work mUBt have been done at
night a covering of inths, rubber sheeting
and sacks was made, tho holo being covered
over with n layer of dirt, thus hldlug any
sign of whnt was going on. What became of
tho excavated dirt we have been unable to
find out. It must havo been removed In
sacks.
The covering wo have ascertained was not
strong enough to hold the weight of a man,
but thn excavation was made so close to
tho building that tho men never walked
over It. Tho plotters wero aided with somo
ono familiar with tho working of the insti
tution nnd the construction of tho vault.
Mlntnken far OIionIn,
"I-ast night one of tho watchmen cm
ployed about the premises beard noises In
side tho vuult and Informed his fellows
that the devil or ghosts wero Inside tho
vault. They inughed nt him and mado no
Investigation and thus the robbers wero left
unmolested at their work.
"Tho weight of tho gold carried out of
tho vault aggregates 1,200 pounds nnd It
must havo taken several trips for ono man,
and several men must have boon employed
In carrying, tho metal to the boat. We are
assured a boat was in waiting for them,
"Instdo tho vault were Bcveral sacks con
taining $110,000, but fhl was not touched.
It may have been that the men became
alarmed; - That .they were, alarmed Is also
Indicated by the .fnat that two bars ot gold
Of great value were left on tho beach In
their, hnsto to escape.
"It Is Impossible for us to say at this
time what direction the men took; If they
used a steam launch to leave the scene of
tho robbery thoy could hnvo gono In nny di
rection, but If they escaped In a rowbent
they would doubtless have taken the direc
tion In which tho tldo was running.
"Several broken drills nnd ni oil can
such ns Is used by cyclists havo been found
In tho holo.'

HAVANA, Aug. 6. The Cuban constitu

moved an amendment to tho electoral law
proposing that all public ofllclnls who nre
candidates in the coming elections shall
cease to exercise their offices for n month
before tho elections tnko place. Ho argued
Jtiat this would tend to assure fair eloa
tlons, pointing out that hcretoforo elec

officials who havo U3cd tholr positions to
favor their own clextlon."
This proposal was violently opposed by
members of t lie convention who are office
holders, those chiefly affected being tho
civil governors of provinces. These offi
cials violently nntngonlzed the amendment,
which was rejected by n vote of 12 to 10.
