Bryan, While Senators Have Never Favored Reso lution Binding Them to Nebraska Can didate. (Special Stall' Correspondent.) Charlotte, June 29 The convention was called to order promptly at 10 this morning. The tirst matter com ing up was the nomination of Senator Simmons as a dele gate to the Denver convention. The senator was on the floor himself. The opposition of the McMichael forces, which had been so fiercely directed against Mr. Simmons Saturday night, had disappeared with the recalcitrant delegates who left yesterday. Not more than 300 men sat as dele gates this morning, and the galleries were almost empty. The politicians had the floor. Mr. McMichacl, the insurgent editor of the Madison Herald, was not to be stopped, however. One of his bel ligerents, who had reported, asked to withdraw the mo tion for rollcall Saturday night; Cam Morrison was up in a second and insisted on the motion's remaining. In the general disorder, Senator Simmons was named, aud when the vote was cast he received 840 votes to 10 against him. Cumberland gave two, Wilson four, and Rockingham four; McMichael's county, Mitchell,, was not represented. E. G. Davis, of Fayetteville, boldly proclaimed his opposition to Simmons as a reproof for what he has done, but did not indicate what was the matter with Simmons. Maj. Hale and O en. Julian S. Carr were placed in' nomination. Maj. Hale won and Gen. Carr was named as first alternate, with E. F. Watson, J. W. Bailey, and W. . L. Parsons. ' J. Bryan Grimes was named for secretary of state. Dr. W. T.'Woodley, of Charlotte, put the name of Gen. v'W. P. Roberts. In Dr. Woodley's speech he said he re . garded as dangerous the life-tenure tendency of parties and that George Washington had opposed it. Vehem ently he exclaimed that if the party is to encourage life tenure it should change its name from democratic to mon archical, and make life-tenure its chief plank. ' On the first ballot Grimes received 663.97, Roberts 129.03, and McDowell '43. Roberts moved unanimous nomination. The second ballot for attorney-general was: Bickett, 211; Clement, 317; Winborne, 283; Woodard, 1. No nom- ination. -.'".; Benjamin R.

Upon the jury trial and its out come, if such a trial is ullow'ed, de pends his freedom.

Hitchcock, the famous Taft booster, arrived here this morning from Chi cago, where he took a rest after the convention, Of course, he hadn't a word to say about who would be na tional chairman. There Is a general Impression that H'.tcneock will even tually land the Job. Secretary of AVar Taft put in most of the forenoon showing Gen. Luke K. Wright the Intricacies of the depart ment of war. Gen. Wright was at the war department all day. Charles P. Taft, the secretary's brother. Is also in town, but he was reticent as to the chairmanship. The most that could be gleaned wps that the selection of the campaign manager will be made July 8 at Hot Springs, Va., whither the sec retary will go this week. There, ac cording to present plans, he will meet trie national committee's sub-committee, which has been empowered to se lect the chairman of the committee.

(By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, June 29. Fire today swept tho heart of Jersey City's busi ness section, destroying three depart ment stores and damaging a fourth. Two or three men were seriously If ml fatally hurt by a falling wall, trolley traffic was tied up for more than three hours, and thousands of people had to walk to the Manhat tan ferries. j The blaze was discovered in the three-story department Btore of Gil more & O'Keefe. It spread swiftly to other buildings on either side, and ! before It was gotten under control ALL THE MARKETS PRICE 5 CENTS. SECOND PLACE the south "represented. "Boss" Sullivan and other leading: democrats, now in Denver, pass over the presidential nomination as though it was all over but the shouting, and look into the offering- for the most available vice-presidential candidate. It may be square enough and again It may not. It is evident that every ef fort is being made by these men to throw off radiations of harmony that they may be spread throughout the country, at least so far as the heAl of the ticket is concerned. Johnson Men Are Confident. There are no strong Johnson men In Denver yet, but the "advance Jnforma- tno Johnsonttes. There have been other similar affairs lately, almost as the Johnson crowd predicted, and it tends to strengthen their belief that when it comes to the balloting time things may get into some sort of a mixup and per haps Johnson will be on top of the heap. ' Norman B. Mock, national committee man from New York, laughs at all that talk. "Why, there is nothing to it," is his comment. "Johnson has not the slight est show Mr. Bryan will win on the lirst ballot." That is what has been heard on all ' sides and will be heard until Gov. Johnson gets there. Two new vice- presidential booms were opened today in the way of headquarters. H. S. Childers opened rooms for Congressman Francis Burton Harrison, while Judge M. E. Wade, of Iowa, who once made a fight for governor in that state, ap peared for Jerry B. Sullivan. "Holler Coaster" Halo For Sullivan. Mr. Sulliviui's chances feel to have the "roller coaster' halo about them. He has received a letter from Mr. Bryan declaring he Is in favor of Mr. Sullivan' candidacy, - As a further honor, Mr. Sullivan has been selected by Mr. Bryan to second his nomination. The eastern bosses who are doing thiiurs here now are resting up today, following a strenuous trip yesterday to the Continental Divide on "Moffat Road," some 11.610 feet high, or two miles higher than New York City.
