GOTH HAST SESSION Io UNDER WAY AT NEWYORK (Continued from Page One.) ization given over to 2 permanent one, with Senator Walsh of Montana permanently in the chair, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 24.—The Democratic convention came to order for its ‘first session at 12:43 o'clock after delaying the opening to allow the police to straighten a traffic jam outside which was keeping hundreds of dele: gates and visitors from the hall, Chairman Hull looking refreshed and better after his attack of ex- haustion and heat stroke, brought down the gavel. In brief words he called the great assembly to order and gave way to Cardinal Hayes who offered the invocation. The great agdience stood in silent rever- ence as the volce of the prelate pene- trated to the furthest part of the big garden. At the conclusion of the prayer the band struck up the Star Spangled Banner and from the re- cesses of the bunting and flags upon the rafters, thousands of little American flags were released and fluttered down over the heads and shoulders of the delegat Then while the band softly played the niaticiial anthem, Anna Case of the Metro;olitan Opera company. sang it and the great audience joined in the refrain. The seated arrangements present- ed a picture not seen in recent years in a national convention. Instead of a speakers’ stand in the end of the eclipse of the big amphitheater. the platform was arranged along the north side raised more than 10 feet above the convention floor it seff. As usual a narrow strip of white railed platform projected frdm the center of the stage, to place speakers more nearly in the middle of the hall. Brand new unfinished kitchen cairs were arranged for the dele- gates beneath the high-raised stand- ards of the states, which themselves stood on a level with the high floor of the platform. While the dele gates came in, a constantly increas. ing buzz of conversation was almost drowned out by the music furnished oy a nd in a far gallery. . Missourt and Iowa had the places of honor on the floor, with their delegations seated in the front row on the left and right of the center Aisles. Behind on the right of Iowa ew Jersey and then Ohio and ork, Kansas, Oklahoma and Montana were ranged behind Mis- souri on the left. Senator Walsh of Montana, the oil committee prose- cutor who will be the permanent chairman of the convention came in early and took his seat under the Montana standard. John W. Davis, whose friends think he may emerge victor from the candidatorial tug-of war, appeared on the platform, chat- ting with Josephus Daniels and Senator Fletcher of Florida. Quite a group gathered about hm, but tis presence apparently passed un noticed by the delegates occupied with conferences of their own. Chairman Hull of the national committee reached the platform a few minutes before noon, Manifest- Wy he still was weak from the effects of the collapse he suffered several days ago, and was assisted through the crowd to the chair. A minute later, Senator Harrison, ready to make his keynote address joined the group on the platform and William Jennings Bryan appeared on the floor to take his seat as a member ot the Florida delegation. The great commoner, three times the standard bearer of his party, got the first applause of the convention. Jt was a short period of hand- clapping by those about him on the floor. He beamed on everybody. Just at noon the band played “Home in Pasadena,” doubtless for the benefit of the McAdoo délegates, and then swung into “What'll We D but the delegates section was almost filled and the buza of con. versation had increased to a loud rumble and the crowd gave little at- tention to the music. ‘There still were many empty seats in the galleries, however, and the group of convention officials on the platform showed no indication of calling for order.

In'the pit under the ‘speaker's stand will sit the various leaders who. will, became apparent when a dozen dele gates who thought they had bust ness with busy officials on the stand tried in yain to find a way to get their attention, In most previous conventions it was possible to climb up over the press stand to the plat form and in the excitement of heated convention battles many dele. gates have done it to the lasting detriment of the correspondents. The Democrats this year decided against it, A few minutes after 12 o'clock, Senator Carter Glass, also mentioned a possible dark horse selection for the presidency, came to the conven. tion floor and was given a rousii reception with several hurrahs by the Virginia delegation. Mus. Wil liam G. MecAggo, a daguhter of Woodrow Wil took a seat ina box directly “opposite the speaker's Platform. She wore mourning for her father, and was accompanied by several members of Mr. McAdoo’s staff. Sergeants at arms assisted by police officers began circulating through the aisles at 12:15 endeavor- ing to persuade the delegates to take their seats but at first they had little success. The ‘arden elec- trician tested out his battery of spot lights, ranged about the overhahg: ing galleries, throwing the platform under a white glare. The show was about to start. It grew increasingly hot in the hall as the sun burst through the clouds and beat down with mid. summer force on tho glass roof. ‘The colors in the crowd were multiplied by the distribution of scores of decorated palm leaf and pasteboard fans, most of them bearing advertis- ing devices. They were. kept aflut- ter. There was plenty of color otherwise, too, Kansas wearing large sunflowers, the Wyoming dele. gates red streamers. carrying the name of their state and many delo- gates displaying on their coat lapels the ribbons of the various candi. dates. During the final walt of a few minutes, the box occupled by Mrs, McAdoo, in a place of prominence closely overhanging the delegates’ arena at the rear of the short center aisle, attracted. much _attertition among the delegates. David Ladd Rockwell, Mr. McAdoo's campaign manager, appeared with several others in the. party and waved a greeting to many of those on ‘the floor, The actual opening of the session was delayed after all the delegates had arrived, in order to permit the police outside to straigh- ten out a traffic crush about. the garden and let through the many guests trying in vain to get to thelr seats in the hall. Considerable confusion persisted also on the floor where there seem- ed to be an unusual crush jof people who had no seats alloted to them. Frpm one spot, in addition to the delegates, alternates and those usu- ally admitted to the floor, it was passible to see badges reading vari ously, assistant sergeant at arms telegraph operator, page, _ ticket aker and medical officer. Some of ices wearing these. badges had taken the seats of delegates and t was difficult to get the whole churning mass of humanity proper: assorted and quieted down, Roth delegates and spectators be- gan to grow jmpatient and the ‘par. tisans of several of the presidential candidates took atvantage of the genera! confusion to stage impromp- tu demonstrations for their fa- vorites. One western delegation from the west gave three cheers for Mc- Adoo and another group from the east joined in with a Smith conven- tion song. It was 12:42 when the bang of the gavel called for order, At firmt tho delegates only choered to vent their enthusiasm at the prospect of action, Standing jn the full glare of the concentrated firo of the spotlights, however, Chair. man Hull soon secured qulet and introduced Cardinal Hayes to make the opening prayor rose and cheered for a a minute as the prolate eama out to the front of theestage and then stood quiet with bowed heads as the cardinal offered his prayer, It was a solid mass of standing hu manjty, for the ajsies wore The delegates | quarter of | crowded as the sections allotted to seats for the delegates. The inyocation concluded with the Lord's prayer in which many of the delegates joined, the band uck up the Star Spangled Banner nd showers of tiny American flags, which had been concealed in folds of the ceiling decorations were loosed and showered down like many colored leaves upon the con- vention floor. When the band had gone through one stanza of the na- tional anthem, Anna Case, metro- politan opera star, sang a verse of the song while the delegates remain- ed standing. She invited the as- sembled thousands to jqin with her wfen she reached the chorus and they did so in a great swelling burst of melody that ended with a crash of cheering and hand clapping. Then the convention went through*the usual performance of having its official picture taken. ‘here was a laugh on the floor © photographer, stationed gallery, asked that everyone be seated, for the aisles were liter- ally crowded with those who had’ no seats allpted them. The reading of the official call for the convention by Charles A. Greathouse of In- diana, secretary of the national committee, followed the taking of the official picture. The de es were not much In- terested In that perfunctory stage of the proceedings however, and there was a great deal of noise as Mr. Greathouse waded through the document. . The formal announcement that Senator Harrison had been selected for temporary chairman got a cheer from the convention floor and gal- leries. There was - frequent " the names of the other tempo rary officers were off. The women delegates held up a patter ing-of handclapping as the names of many women were read amcng those selected by the national com- mittee to serve in conspicuous places in the big quadriennial ogn- clave. It was apparent that it was tobe a shouting convention from the very start. Everyone seemed to be in good humor despite the bitter pre-convention rows and the im- pending battle over candidates and party measures, and every delaga- tion appeared determined to outdo its negihbors in making a big noise in the convention When the reading of the roll of temporary officers had been com pleted, Chairman Hull recognized Former overnor Campbell of Ohio who moved that the list be approv aplause too read ed. The motion was adopted with a great chorus of “ayes,” and Mr. Hull appointed a committee to es- cort Senater Harrison to the stand his place in. the Mississippt <The committee includ- ed Newton D. Baker, former secre- tary of war,.and Former Senator Gilbert. Hitchcock of Nebraska. Brought up to the platform through passageway under the stage, Senator Harrison got a rousing welcome as he appeared at the speakers’ stand. The band struck up a lively alr as the cheer ing continued. Then Chairman Hull, from delegation. In a single sentence, introduced Senator Harrison, turned the gavel over to him and retired. The new chairman quickly got a taste of what the duties of a pre- aiding officer of the turbulent con- vention were to be like. The dele- gates rose and cheered him for an additional minute while he was pounding for order, and the open- ing sentences of his speech, refer- ring to corruption in high places, were interrupted constantly with hurrahs. Another real cheer and cries of “go to it, Pat’ greeted the Senator's reference to the presence of Harry Daugherty an mn delegate to the Cleveland = Ftepublican convention, “the worst boss ridden convention of q generation,” Looking very hot and uncomfort: able in his tong tatled black cont, the temporary chairman Jauncbed ram Idly {nto his prepared address nn it dotermined to met M over quickly, But he put a@ lot of emphas'a into parts of It and the delegates in old ashims with cries of ‘good time Democratic fashion interrupted and "hit ‘em again" as he lambasted the Re- publican party as a party of bosses and big business and declared the Democrats were interested rather in honesty and equal opportunity, The speaker referred only occas- ionalty to his manuscript and as he got into form he used vigorous ges- tures and walked about the narrow platform so that he had to be cau- tioned to stay nearer the radio mic- rophone that was carrying his ad- dress out to millions over the coun- try. But even when he did not speak through the amplifying device his rich voice filled the vast hall_so that most of those. in the gallerfes could hear. And those who could not, understood nevertheless that it was an old fashioned Democratic political revivol speech and joined in the laughter and applau: Senator Harrisons jibes at Mel- lon’s tax plan and the Fordney-Me- Cumber tariff-act were greeted by repeated shouts of approbation, and there was another prolonged crash of cheering when the temporary chairman declared. the armaments conferences was held in spite of the Republican administration and only. because of the insistent demands of “Bill Borah of Idaho, who refused to bind himself in the holy bonds of Republican wedlock at Cleveland.” 8 a reference to the/Idaho sen- refusal to run for vice presi: dent on the Republican ticket, and the convention seemed to regard it as a bullseye hit. There was a whoop from Montana, seconded from other delegations, when the senator charged that the Republican national committee “had framed a Democratic senator be- cause he dared to do right.” Some one from Kansas yelled “hurrah for Wheeler” and delegates and galler- les che ain. 1 Then roars of laughter swept the hall as in rich southern oratorical flourishes the temporary chairman described In sarcastic vein. what transpired at the Cleveland conven- tion and ironically eulogized the work off “Butler and Slemp, the two Republican musketeers” and Frank Mondell, the permanent chairman at Cleveland “and a lame duck fitting- ly selected to typify the work of the convention.” Then the ¢onvention was brought to its feet cheering as Senator Har- rison declared that in the whole course of the senate investigations not a single incident was disclosed “that would discredit a single Dem; ocrat.” The Missouri delegation was the first to stand up and take the lead in the demonstration, which lasted for almost a full minute, “That's the boy, Pat,” yelled a delegate amid cheers when the speaker assailed Henry Cabot Lodge for his part in defeating the treaty of Versailles, and there were cries of “Good, good,” and another pro- longed wave of cheering and hand- clapping when he said he hoped the convention would endorse the pro- Finer Texture and Larger Volume in your bakings Same Price over 33 years 25 Nr 2° for Millions of Pounds Bought by the Government.

Again the delegates jolnci! in the inging and Madams Case came out to the front of the pfatform and took chargé of the demonstration.

In a brief speech the mayor said his city was “doing the best we can to make things pleasant” and outlined a pro- gram of entertainment that has been provided by city authorities.
