It to Can- Uy Associated Pnsa, St. Louis, June -The Republican national committee met at noon todaj, Chairman Thomas I', farter of Montana presiding, for the consideration of the 1GS contests for heats in the convention.

The meeting was executive and the press and pii'dlic was excluded. The members of the comraittee are of the opinion that the interest of the party uould be promoted by a careful consideration of all on their merits regardless of personal presidenti.il preferences or the prejudices of the contestants of the financial question. Their decision will only affect the tem- fHirary organization, but they to da their work so thoroughly as to hau- no room for birt little change by the committee on credentials.

Fairbanks of Indiana. but many members of the national committee ore urging Samuel l-'essenden of Connecticut. He is not satisfactory to the -McKinley leaders, and if named by the national committee might precipitate a contest yi the convention. The majority of the delegates now In n- seem inclined to believe a straddle in the financial plank of the platform not advisable. The point is made that a straddle would not hold the silver states and might result in putting a gold Democrat in the field and the loss of Xew York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

The committee had lieen in session only a few minutes when offered a motion to -admit the press. hich was adopted. On motion of Powell Clayton, it was decided the committee should proceed in the following order: first All contests Te heard and determined by the whole committee. Second-- States and territories to be called alphabetically. Third-- Contestants, conteslees and counsel, if desired, will tie admitted to the hearing in which they are interested and each aide will be allowed to file briefs and bo given fifteen minutes for argument.

Hansbrough of North Dakota sng' gested it would expedite matters to distribute the contests among subcommittees. as has been the practice on occasions, but Clayton met this with the reply that there had been a great many instances of favoritism and he thought it better the full committee should hear all contests. Clayton's motion was then adopted. A committee consisting of Payne of Wisconsin. Ferdon of Connecticut, and DrYoung of California was appointed to prepare resolutions expressive of the committee's of bereavement over the death of Ooimnitteeman Campbell of Illinois.

Announcement wan made 1hat Hon. J. W. Fifer had been appointed to fill the vacancy occasioned bv Campbell's death. 'The resignation at Governor Bradley of Kentucky was announced, as was the appointment of Yerkes to succeed him.

He said the convention which elected delegates had 332 delegates, which was a majority of the regularly elected delegates. Governor Smith spoke for the Mosely delegation. He claimed the Montgomery convention was irregular. A. J.

Warmer (colored) of 4he Mosely delegation next made an argument. B. A. Mosely, closed the argument for the delegation known by his name. He said he toad been chairman of the committee many years and all precedents had been lor a temporary roll of delegates.

He said he 'had the same fight in 1892, and the convention seated his delegation. M. A. Wickersham closed the argument for the Buckley delegation. Clayton moved to seat the Buckley (McKinley) delegation.

Senator Gear of Iowa moved to substitute the Mosely delegation. Southerland of Xew York moved to refer the whole matter to a committee of three to sift evidence and report tomorrow. This motion -was voted down without dhision. Shoup of Idaho moved to seat both delegations, with half a vote each. This was also voted down and a vote taken on Gear's motion, which was defeated.

7 to 38. The motion of Clayton was then adopted without opposition. It was generally considered that it was a McKinley victory, although several committeemen not favorable to McKin- lev voted against the Mosely delegation. The delegates at large which were seated were the following: P. I.

Shelbv. C. W. Buckley. J.

W. Jones. W. R. Pet'tiford.

all of whom are instructed for McKinley. Contests in nine districts were then taken up and all decided except those from the Third and Fifth, in which the hearings were postponed on account ol the absence of either contestants or eontestees. The points at issue in the Sixth and Eighth districts were settled outside the committee and the contests in both instances withdrawn The issue was presented to the committee In all the other cases. Of eighteen delegates whose cases were decided either by vote of committee or by withdrawal sixteen are for McKinlej and two for Heed for president. There was no division upon any contests except that made in the case of delegate? at large, and this was overwhelminglj in favor of the Vaughn, or 'MeKinley delegates, and against the Mosely or anti-McKinley men.

At the conclusion of the considera tion of the Alabama contested eases the committee recessed nnt.il evening. The evening session was taken by the Georgia contests. The entire state was disposed of except one district. Of twenty-four delegates seated today all but two favor McKinley. MAMLEY'fl PREDICTION Sayn McKlaley Will Nominated on the Flrrt Ballot.
