DIVISION IN ‘THE RANKS,

Victorin Conservatives. Fall to Agree
on Party Lines *

_ Special to the RECORD.
r) Victoria,.March 17.—The coi
servative convention here last night,
which was expected to adopt party
ites, broke up without action being”
taken, Four or five resolutions,
some favoring party licesfand others
joint action on the part of Conserv-'
tives and Liberals, were submitted,
but did not reach a vote.
McPhillips, who will be dropped
by the Conservatives in any event,
made a bitter speech, saying he was
not going to’be dictated to by a
packed convention and would run
as an independent.
A good proportion of the meeting
favored endorsing the old ticket,
which represented the city at the
last sitting, and it is believed that
the feeling for party lines received a
distinct setback.
