The Former's Admirers Think He Can Throw the "Crown of Thorns" Effort la the Shade. Chicago, Aug, fi. Bourse dick ran will probably be selected by the Indlan upolls conference on Friday as tempor ary chulrniuu of the gold standard Dem ocnitic convention. He Is a candidate of the Illinois delegation, which will give him unanimous support. The only shadow of objection urged against him is that he has expressed himself us let being In favor of naming a third Ilcl.it. although he upproves tlie proposed con vention and the adoption of a gold standard platform. The Illinois delegation argues t hut tlie selection of the ex-'i'amniiiiiy orator would give him an opportunity of I limn ing the crown und cioss effort of the "Hoy Orator" Into the shade. While tlie del. gat Inn is unanimous for Cock ran, however, many of Us members are opposed to holding the convention In Chicago and will vote for Indianapo lis or Detroit. National headquarters were tempo rarily dosed this afternoon and on tlie night trains there will be an exodus to the lloosler capital. Senator Palmer, ex-Congressman Foiman, Franklin Me Veagh, ex-Mayor Hopkins and abouc twenty others will go down In a bod v. Members of the committee do not dis guise their chagrin that Messrs. Whit ney, Flower, Hill, Fellows. Harrity anil their Imniedlute circles, show no Incli nation to get Into the second convention band wagon. They pay. however, that the conference will have a respectable showing from the east, even If the leaders of the organization in that sec tlun continue to stand aloof. POPS AT PITTSBURG.

The rules of the party prescribe the conditions and circum stances under which a state convention can be reconvened. So far as 1 am ad vised no such conditions exist ut this time."
