While he did not say it in so many words, his speech gave the intimation that Mr.

Healey would remain in, the race for the legislature, despite the fact that he would not get the Democratic nomination' and that he would try for the office Hi3 speech was greeted with' loud cheers by the Healeyites. The balloting was then proceeded" to, a committee of 'reporters consisting of Mr. McCrea, of the Scranton Times; George Williams, of the Wilkesharre News, and Edward Hart, of the Scranton Truthacting as tellers. The result of the ballot showed that O'Brien was elected by a vote of 27 V4 to 1. The Healeyites would not stand for a motion to make the election unanimous.

The chairman was empowered to fill any vacancy for representative that might be caused by death or otherwise and the convention; adjourned. During the, discussion concerning the announcement alleged to been made by Mr. Hopkins that Mr. Healey would not be elected under any circumstances, it looked as If there might be a serious mlxup, but this was prevented by Mr. Hopkins who refused to permit any discussion on the subject other than the explanation he made of the saying.

attributed to him. He said that he bad told Mr. Healey on Saturday that a majority of the members on the credential committee would be O'Brien men which was the only cause he had given the Plains candidate for the statement he had issued1. He defended his action by stating that 1n his opinion he had a perfect right to choose whom he pleased on the committees and thought it only right that Mr. Healey should be informed of his intentions.

In making his choice, Mr. Hopkins was placed in a predicament and could not avoid the Issue, as the committee had to be odid nurmbered and he therefore had to choose one side or the other. The Healeyites refuse to look at it in the same light as Mr. Hopkins, however, and the result will likely be a serious split In the party in this district The lower end man thinks he has been unfairly treated all around and he. seems determined to use the knife In returning the compliment.

District hosses on whose support he counted turned against him and united their forces In favor of. Mr. O'Brien. Naturally. Mr.

Healey is sore and the extent of soreness may be gleaned from a letter which he gave to the newspapers last night, in which he did. not mince matters in complaining of his treatment. After saying same very Uncomplimentary things of Chairman Hopkins, he hinted at aa Independent candidacy by saying: "I make this appeal to the honest citizenship of the, district, feeling that it is their fight no less: than He gavea further expression of hia'de termlnatlon In the paragraph: ,1 am thankful for the loyalty of friends Who made. such a stubborn 'fight throughout pracUcaJl th4 whole district, and it is. for me to expression of choice' between ray opponent and myself shall he determined.

The predictions of hot convention, such as usually mark nominations la the Fifth proved unfounded, lor there, was scarcely a heated" argu meat and no debates of any length. It was shnply a case of O'Brien having the majority to secure the nomination and Healey knowing It.

The latter did not appear In the hall, but his friends intimated, that he would run an independent campaign, as they claimed he had been gWen a raw deal all around The convention convened at 1030 and at. 11 o'clock was adjourned, the Healey delegation leaving the hall Just before adjournment was taken. meeting was, called to order by Chairman Thomas Hopkins and no temporary chairman was nominated, Hopkins retaining that position. The O'Brien 'delegates were ranged in lone band In the front part of the hall, close to the stage on which the chairman and sat while the Healey followers were stationed farther back but also sat in a compact mass. Behind these and along the walls the spectators were ranged the hall being' well filled) with the curious and who patiently waited the beginning of the usual scrap.

A casual observance of the situation would give the opinion1 that O'Brien had a majority and the first vote proved conclusively that he had for the Healeyites were mam from the beginning, lacking the confidence that comes from a majority delegation. The first proof of this came When the nominations for chairman were opened, and Mr. Hopkins was elected without opposition despite the fact that he had just appointed on the committee on credentials three O'Brien men, after" the followers of tne Ftains delegate refused to Tote on the proposition that had been put forth by Mr. Healy himself in a newspaper article, namely that Hopkins' should serve as the third member of the credentials committee and committee on contested seats, with a representative of Healey and one of O'Brien as the other two members. A summary of the convention will give the best idea of how, matters were conducted.

When the convention, was called to order 33 districts had turned in credentials, one of them being a tiel There was only one contested seat where Mr. Shifter, the O'Brien candidate'was opposed by Mr. Kilgallon, the Healey candidate. In the middle district of Jenkins township, where the, tie existed, each candidate was allowed one half a vote. Mr.

White, of the Third ward, this, ctty, an O'Brien delegate, made a motion that In the appointment of the committee on credentials, the chairman should follow Mr. Healey's suggestion, made in the Record, namely, that one member of the committee should be appointed by Mr. O'Brien, ope by Mr. Healey and that the chairman should act as the third member of the committee The motion was seconded by, John B. Corcoran and was adopted without dissent.

Mr. White was appointed to act for, Mr. O'Brien but the Healeyites refused to name a member. A motion was then adopted that the chairman ghoul appoint the committee and he named the following, all O'Brien delegates: Messrs, White, J6hn Grace and Edward Barrett The single. contest, in the, ninth district bf Plains' township was soon decided, Mr.
