Ketchikan, May 13 ? When the republican convention
was called to order at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, fol
lowing the morning adjournment, Murane was seated as
temporary chairman, and an adjournment was taken at once
to 3:30 to give both factions time to arrange details.
Promptly at 3:30 the convention was again called to
order and upon motion a committee on credentials was ap
pointed consisting of Lyons of Juneau, Malone of Juneau
and Wrangell, Green of Katalla, Young of Seward, and
Shea thus making a majority for the Hoggatt faction.
After considerable discussion by members of both factions
the convention adjourned until today.
The convention wu calle-l to order
?t nic j'o'ock this moroing and Im
mediately adjourned to eleven, p?adlDg
a report of the credeotlal committee.
The Hojfjfatt (action inslsced uooq a
majority vote of the members on the
floor. The opposition, on the other
hand, demanded that the vote be re
stricted to the uncontested delegations,
of which tbtsy claim a majority. This
will probibly develop a fljjht by the
auti Hogijatt faction.
An arrangement was made yesterday
tn the interest of harmony between the
factions whereby Shackelford was to be
permitted to name two delegates to the
national convention and two on the com
mittee on credentials, the antls naming
two and on the credential committee an
impartial fifth be named, In contlder- 1
ation of this arrangement the oonteit
against Boyer of Fairbanks was to ba
withdrawn and the antls thus be left In
control of the organization.
The antls now claim tbat Murane did
not keep bla agreement In naming the
credential committee and Shaokleford
now lnslata on naming four of the dale
gatea, to Chloago. This means tbat
Shaoklford will be the national com
mitteaman and an endorsement of Hog
gatt. The antls claim that Coraon hal
affiliated with the Hoggatt faction. It
looks, at thla writing, Use two conven
tions. Murane has accepted the on
contested proxy of the Irving faction
for tbe first district.
