he nun Nebraskan Surprises Foes by Willingness to Accept the Judge for Mate. ARE NOT IN SYMPATHY Predicted Tlint This Will lie the Ticket I'lilcs Now York Decides Quickly Compulsory Arbitration Plank May Put Antl-Injunrtloii in Background. Denver, July 2. William J. Bry an ami George Oray Is tho ticket that managers for the Nebraska Presidential candidate Bay will be nominated, unless Jew York quick ly decides on a man for second place. So sanguine are the ultra-Bryan men that the Delaware Judge will be nominated that Colonel R. M. Johnson, National Committeeman from Texas, who loves sport as much as Governor Hughes hateg it, advised all his friends to "buy i ools on Gray, for you cannot lose." National Committeeman Norman H. Mack thug summarized the situa tion. "The ticket probably will be Bryan and Gray, unions New York agrees upon a candidate and nters the fight." The espousal of Mr. Bryan and his friends of the candidacy of Judge Gray is regarded by the antl-Bry-initeg ag hard to reconcile with the radical position which the Nebras kan has. taken on the anti-Injunction issue. Judge Gray is known to be abso lutely out of sympathy with the lews of Mr. Bryan on this subject, vrhich promises to become one of the leading Issues of the campaign. Why Mr. Bryan, therefore, should wish Judge Gray as his running mate. Is something of a mystery. Some of the Gray men, who are hopeful of their candidate's nomi nation for the first place, have an explanation of Mr. Bryan's apparent inconsistency between measures and nen, which Is, at least, interesting. "The purpose of Mr. Bryan," said one of the Gray boomers, "is clear to one who thinks a little about the situation. Mr. Bryan has to real expectation that any radical Anti-injunction plank will be adopt ed by the convention. "If Gray gets second place on the ticket, and an injunction plank sat sfactory to corporations is insert id, the conservatives, Mr. Bryan figures, will have reason to be deased with tho outcome of the onventlon. And at the same time, Mr. Bryan also figures, he will be ble to make a strong appeal to the .ftbor element by reason of his per sonal advocacy of the legislation hiph they asked."
